The Azure Dragon is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. It symbolizes the power of spring, growth, and hope. I have modeled the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise as four warriors with different personalities and abilities.In my imagination, the dragon is a prince who lives in the water, he is solitary and elegant and can manipulate the water.The Azure Dragon and White Tiger were brothers, but their different beliefs led them to go their separate ways. Azure Dragon believes that all evils can be purified. White Tiger doesn't think so, he believes that the most direct way to eliminate evils is to destroy them.
