and i feel xie lian in this chilis tonight

Hua Cheng as a maned wolf (chrysocyon brachyurus), the first of my personal little animal ver of tgcf! Daemon au maybe?? I’ve definitely just been calling it furry tgcf verse in my head lol. I love fox hc just as much as anyone but it was lacking a little flair for my tastes and that set off a whole Thing of researching new symbolic animals for quite literally the whole cast so… expect more of this au soon haha

Below the cut is my reasoning on why this species fits him, some maned wolf trivia, and the original sketch

Xie Lian as a clouded leopard (neofelis nebulosa) to continue my furry tgcf verse! I’ve been incredibly excited about this one for the entirely self indulgent reason that it allowed me to spend hours looking at pics of clouded leopards for reference.. highly recommended (TwT)b

More of this au: HC

Actual reasoning for why I matched xl to this species + original sketch + trivia below the cut:
