So if the dragon and tiger are a pair, then could the Vermillion Bird and Black Turtle be a good pair?
By default, yeah, they can be, especially since in the Four Symbols they represent summer and winter respectively, and could also tie them to sky and earth.
Only thing is, in my research of turtles and birds in Chinese culture and mythology, the only other animal relationship I found is them also tied to dragon. Like, Dragon and Turtle are also listed as rivals, with Turtle unable to reach the Dragon and the Dragon is unable to get past the Turtle's defense. Though it's a lesser known rival pair.
Either way, be default of the Four Symbols, with Dragon and Tiger being equals, that should apply to the Vermillion Bird and Turtle. In actual culture and myth I haven't seen anything of them as a pair, but by default they should be fine.

I was out of town for KamiCon, so I haven’t been posting a ton. I had fun but now I have so much work to get caught up on.😅 Here’s Kami’s animal mascot, the black turtle Shoyu. I remember years ago they had con goers vote on who the mascot should be (I think the other choices were a tiger, a dragon, and a phoenix) by giving everyone step counters and the number was how many points you could give to your pick. You’d see groups of people all just shaking the shit out of these little things lol. I was the only one in my group of friends who voted for Shoyu and was so smug when he won. It’s been over a decade since then- wild to think about!

They look like box turtles. Because of the head and shell shape. My immediate thought was they'd be a three-toed box turtle since they're plain colored with no spots or patterns anywhere, BUT
They obviously have more than three toes. And the plastron looks nothing like any kind of box turtle's.
New lead: MUSK TURTLES!!!

Accidentally deleted this post when I was trying to edit it but guess I can’t undo that.
———————————-
All characters in this AU are aged up and are adults

Anyway gonna take this chance to redo this post and upload her updated kwami swaps.
Behold the holy trinity of Kwami swaps part 1
1. Fox! Marinette: Huli Jing, she’s a trickster and her illusions are beautifully dangerous
2. Bee! Marinette: HoneyBee: She’s hella sweet but you don’t wanna piss her off because her sting can hurt
3. Turtle! Marinette: Chelona Jade: Graceful, strong, and powerful she is the protector.
4. Black Cat! Marinette: Lady Noire: Pent up Destruction can be dangerous especially for a rule follower who’s been stuck being perfect
5. Mouse! Marinette: Multimouse: She may be small but she can give you quite a scare when she divides and conquers.
6. Peacock! Marinette: Bleu Celine: A Goddess in human flesh her Sentimonster’s seem like a dream but beware for they are not all they seem.
7. Butterfly! Marinette: Titania: Light as a butterfly, become her champion be blessed by her gift.
—————————————————————————————————
These kwami swaps are definitely going to appear in Timey Wimey soon, we’re getting really close to Marinette’s reveal. I’ll also be posting the other half of this which the Chinese zodiac part of the Miracle Box, yep that’s right my girl is pulling a Kwamibuster on the corrupted hero’s but with a twist. Anywho, updated their designs and was just trying to edit the post but accidentally deleted it so whoops.
So cleaned up their designs and thought might as well post more.
The main seven Miraculouses are still my favorite
