So, while I’m not super thrilled with Linkle – I am kind of grateful they didn’t base her appearance off Zhurong/Zhu Rong from Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series (or literally any character from Team Ninja’s Dead or Alive series).
If you’re confused why she’s blond and amazon cosplaying… so is basically everyone else since she is based off Lady Zhurong from the actual Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, who looked more like this:
And this is how she looked in Koei’s Romance of the Three Kingdom’s game.
It is an eternal mystery, the answer to which is probably known only to a small cabal of Creepy Marketing Guys.
