I kindly took one of the old versions of Bashinga and made it a separate character. The dhole-who-was-a-tiger was once a kitsune sorceress, and I've always loved that version. No clue why. I just... Did. I even used to have an old wallpaper of her I made for myself. X3

I decided to reinvent the kitsune Bashinga as Haruka, the Shadow Sorceress. That little fluttering guy is Kajiro, her loyal familiar. He's a weird sort of chimera who was created by using shadow magics to fuse together the parts of dead animals. Hard to believe it when you see him, eh?
