Order of the Lotus Xayah [Concept]

I recently concepted this for a Skintober day (thanks to Katey for the prompts) -- I really wanted to try another Lotus skin.

So far, both of the Lotus skins were Ionia characters. I originally wanted to do Akali, but many people voiced they would love to see Xayah with this idea. Her movements are very fluid, and I feel like it would work really well with some water/flower effects.

At first, I overloaded the idea with a ton of pink because I was really focusing on that Lotus feeling. In the end, I toned it down a lot because I felt like Xayah's personality didn't fit with it. It also felt very crowded to the eye.

Instead, I focused more on the feel of the Lotus Karma skin with more River colors. I imagined Rakan would have the opposing colors (blue outfit with a pink wing)
