Inoue Yuu (Andrew) Zhuge Liang

Inoue is a big Romance of the Three Kingdoms otaku.  She’s seen every film and show.  She’s played every game.  She went and learned Chinese just so she could read it in its original language.  She patterned her irezumi youkai on the version portrayed by actress Toyonaga Souka, mostly because she’s got a crush.  (In this world, there are as many Japanese adaptations as in our own; there, however, the gender of the various heroes is usually flipped.)  Now that she has joined the Miyamoto-gumi, she wishes she’d gone for the female version of Xiahou Dun instead, because of her slightly obvious crush on the Matriarch.  However, she enjoys the rather more magic array of powers allowed by Zhuge Liang as her youkai, so it’s probably for the best.  She’s depicted in the Taoist robe with the fan of crane feathers.  A Kongming lantern is in the sky, and winds have begun to stir, following her ritual to summon the Eastern wind.

A dragon sleeps across her shoulders, tail and upper torso making their way across her front and down her arms.  (Because Zhuge Liang is known as the Sleeping Dragon, so of course.)  The dragon has a jewel in its claws.

The arms also incorporate the wind.
