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.)

Horse sounds very Zhao Yunlan! He's such a people person, and active/mobile/fashionable all fits. So does over-confident! (SW- Not sure if this is the right thing to do. ZYL- Lets just do it and see! see also: Hallows-touching)

On the subject of orchids, though, I also found a flower site that said they were a good flower for Chinese weddings - ZYL would definitely be into orchids for that! XD

Horse does sound like him, I agree. And regarding the flowers, I think I'll put them in the picture and they don't necessarily have to 'represent' him, but if he admires them they could even represent the kind of person he admires aka Shen Wei :-)
