Why does Zarina's figurine charm look so whitewashed
I was really disappointed by how much they lightened the skin tone on Claudette's and Jake's figurine charms in earlier rifts, but at least for a while they seemed to be doing better on this front, for example Gabriel's and Lyra siblings' figurines. So why does Zarina's figurine look so much paler than her model.

It’s a chibi esque charm, they probably aren’t that invested in the accuracy of something that is rarely seen. Huntress’s werewolf charm has super small eyes lol, I’m pretty sure they don’t really care that much about charms and are more focused on the gameplay / outfits

the charms are pretty detailed and the colors were deliberately chosen, might as well do it accurately. It’s a very real issue to whitewash characters and should be pointed out - might be not malicious intent of the devs implementing it that way but especially then the devs will probably be happy to hear about the issue and correct it.

We all know Bhvr doesn’t do anything like that on purpose, they are pretty much a gold standard for diversity and inclusion. I just felt like a charm is inconsequential as it’s not like they are doing it to her actual model. I’m genuinely surprised people care about charms that much lol, I guess that’s why they are selling them now.

Hm. They are not doing everything as good as they could as a company.
I just looked over the charms a while ago and noticed how much detail there even is. Not that I care about them - I think they are kinda wasted as they are not noticeable enough in-game. But character portrayal like that is important and I don’t think downplaying it is the way to go

If they can get Jonah right why can't they get Zarina?
