Haha why? Do you think Zehir is similar to Louhi? They do have some striking similarities like wanting to feel loved and hating being alone. But the differences are there. Zehir is more of a crybaby manchild while Zehir is more of a Mother Gothel caretaker type. Canonically Zehir and Louhi are besties. Zehir loves that Louhi wants to take care of him while Louhi loves that Zehir lets him take care of him.
Anyway, I'm so glad that you liked the rollercoaster of emotions! I'm also very happy to know that you liked the character designs! But I also understand if people think it's rushed and won't like the sudden change. I didn't have much time or budget to create something more fleshed out in time for the yanjam 2026. That is my bad 😓
