Yuèjǐn is a character that joined my OC roster recently. I am studying Asian Studies at uni (specifically Korea Studies, but that's besides the point) so I've been looking up Asian mythology both for school work and in my own time. I've made some changes to the jade rabbit lore, mainly with there being multiple (yes, Yutu, the original is one), and just made a couple adjustments to put my own spin on things while trying to stay respectful towards the original mythos. Yuèjǐn is kind of a "tsundere"-esque character, but I had a lot of fun making him, and hopefully he is fun to chat with 🐰💚

While trying to come up with a name for him, Yuèjǐn (月瑾) appealed to me because it is (according to my research) made up of characters that mean 'moon' and 'fine jade' respectively. During my research, I did learn that 月 frequently appears in feminine names in modern Chinese, but, as far as I can tell, it isn't inherently gendered. I also read that more classical or mythical naming conventions are more flexible than modern naming trends, so hopefully his name won't put anyone off 😅🧐
