Description
Finally I get to introduce a new character who has been giving me some trouble from a design perspective, and the first female character in Exetype's cast - Setsuna, the tanuki.

Extvia and I batted her design back and forth quite a few times, and there were certain hurdles that kept coming up, whether she looked too young, too organic, too boring, and so on. So the colour scheme in particular is still subject to change in the future. This is the look I've settled on for now.

background!:

Setsuna Yinaya 750 is one of a rare line of Yinaya-model androids who populate Utopia. They are capable of running on almost any kind of power, because in turn they are shape-shifters who have the ability to transform themselves to suit the enviroment. They hold some power of the celestial race in their programming, originally designed to channel Chi power, making them an important step into the development of the Soul Core technology. In short, they are one of the most important stepping stones to the development of transcending simple artificial life, and turning a synthetic creature into a living being.

Setsuna herself is a woman of many talents who considers herself one of the upper class citizens of Utopia. Her small stature and cute looks leave her with an ambition to appear especially mature in the eyes of her peers, which have lead her to pursue many ambitions. She is known around Utopia as a model and an author, though her true passion is that of a detective. She uses her innocuous appearance and shape-shifting abilities to operate her cases in a unique manner. She loves minimalism and modern design, and carries her 'defaulted' black and white yin-yang themed skin with pride.

She is comissioned by the Police force to track down and identify Ginnigan, though she soon becomes interested in him for personal reasons, feeling that his appearance in Utopia is more significant than it may first appear. She often appears to question him when he least expects it, unintentionally bringing trouble with her.

Though she is a peaceful N-type on the surface, she is quite adept at using her reinforced antique fans as weapons and can shape-shift into a variety of dangerous tools and vehicles, making her a versatile and tricky opponent. Playing as Setsuna will require some thought, though she is fast and compact her regular normals do relatively low damage and lack range. Her transformations limit her mobility and offense, but each one offers a unique method of attacking and grants acess to expanded special moves. Knowing her various states, their strengths and weaknesses, and when to use them will allow her to exhibit strong pressure and check a wide variety of different situations.

No theme tune or character sheet yet. I will be working on those next.

edit: thank you Celix3 for suggesting a better colour scheme. I always did think she looked better with brown, but could never find the right balance enough to keep her shading dark enough so that the yin yang theme was noticable.
