Rei-mi Ji was made as a passable reason for Xi-li Rin to be able to leave her families castle for the story. They masquerade as a traveling act of a dancer and gypsy (though this is true for Rei-mi Ji), sometime before SC5 was in my possession I had the thought of giving her a third eye on her forehead to add to her mysticism. Dynasty Warriors 8 is the perfect representation of her being able to use both of her weapons.

Soulcalibur III

Future Sight

Originally her 2P outfit modified to be her default.

Soulcalibur IV

Future Sight

Attempted recreation of one of her old SC3 looks.

Soulcalibur BD

Future Sight

Attempt to make a workable design for her using some BD only parts.

Soulcalibur V

Future Sight

I had a tough time figuring out how I was going to design her so I went back to her roots in SC3 and worked from there. The Laurel Crown is meant to hide her third eye even though a small portion can still be seen.

Warriors Series

Dynasty Warriors 7 ~ Future Sight

For this iteration I wanted to give her a mystic feel since it's much more possible to get what I want weapon wise compared to Soulcalibur. The Artemis Crown covers what should be her third eye which is not possible to have in this game.

Dynasty Warriors 8 ~ Future Sight

Complete redesign from 7:E, I was wanting her 3rd eye to be visible since other games tend to hide it.

Samurai Warriors 4 ~ Future Sight

As with most Dark Time characters her concept is based on an alpha design before her true design (which the Soulcalibur games have come close to). Rei-mi Ji has always been planned to be a gypsy though this is before she was given her trademark 3rd eye. As I wasn't wanting to use Mitsunari's Fan or Kanetsugu's Sword with Talismans I decided to go for Yoshitsugu's weapon since she was originally going to have a similar looking weapon before I changed her to War Fan + Talisman.
