Question: Chinese zodiac in Guardian

[mekare]

So, I am still trying to come up with an appropriate symbol/plant etc. for Yunlan for my four seasons series. During my consideration I came up with this question: Are Chinese zodiacs ever mentioned in the series for any character? For Shen Wei we don't even have a birth date, plus he's alien anyway so it probably wouldn't apply. But Haixing people are modeled so closely on Earth people that it seems strange to me if no mention was made at all.

Can anyone remember if Chinese zodiacs are mentioned, or alluded to for any character?

If not, which Zodiac do you think could be/ would be appropriate for Yunlan? (we could just do the math and take 2018 as the air date, detract Yunlan's canon age and choose the zodiac which results...btw, how old is Yunlan? I checked the wiki on Hubzilla but while there is an excellent entry for Shen Wei already, Yunlan's only has a picture.)

Speculation Based on Episode 23

I hit episode 23 in my Guardian rewatch, and I noticed a thing, and got to speculating as a result. There are two posts in my journal about it. The first one is more for context. The second one is where there's a bit of discussion going on, and I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts.

Spoilers for the whole series in both posts and the comments.

tanndell suggested an AU:

An AU where Zhao Yunlan is the Dixingren Black Cloak Envoy And Shen Wei is the Haixing Cop. Do what you will

As ever I am hoping someone will be inspired to write ^^
