Apparently Sui was originally meant to have light blue hair

Veeeeery small post I'm making, but I was rewatiching the 2023 Espren Sneak Peek and realized two of the major characters were shoved right in front of our faces without us realizing. Between 0:25 and 0:30 we can clearly see Syndra, and at 0:58 there's a slightly less noticeable Sui. And I've noticed she weirdly had light blue hair. Probably nobody cares, but I did ask myself why her design was changed from a hair color that really fits with her ice magic abilities, to her final light pink (probably tho something like color harmony with her clothes)

Guys am I colorblind

(for clarification the hair color in the portraits I always thought was light blue, but yeah I do know that her hair color is white

Wait light pink?

I wonder if the design was changed to stand out more. In the trailer I just assumed she was some random town mob who looked a bit like Dante from Devil May Cry.

On a somewhat related note, I really hope Wynncraft releases some behind the scenes info on Fruma's development, much like what they did with Gavel last december.

Honestly I can understand someone interpreting her hair as light blue, white, or pink. Personally I think it's light purple.

 

I'll be real it might be night light affected

 

Can't believe they almost made Sui look like even more of an anime character

Also, I always thought of her current hair color as an ashy lavender, like Copic's V22

 

Just know I thought her hair was white

 

I'm getting so used to seeing pink hair to the point that I almost expect it to be a natural color

Also yeah ashy lavander makes sense

 

Her name was also originally Yuri but that was changed for rather obvious reasons

 

Yeah I can imagine, also imo Yuri as a girl's name sounds so bad

In contrast to Rex as a girl's name which fits very nicely

 

Why was it ever Yuri in the first place?

Also does this mean she canonically had lesbianism removed in development or is the name change unrelated?

Yuri is an actual name

 

Yeah Gagarin is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear yuri lmao

 

I'm well aware but like surely you would have noticed when first assigning it.

 

I definitely noticed. It just took a bit of convincing for it to change

 

@Catfan105 played a funny joke on me at some point (in one one of Bart's statuses) about Yuri being Gagarin and and Yaoi (or Yowi) being saqsquatch of Australia and that the internet had randomly decided they were related. Took me about half a month or so to realize lol

 

Lmaooo

 

wasn't that Mora's OG name?
