I love the giant monkey cat. She rides it around like Naga in a leaked animatic.
I also have a theory (not just on appearance but a leaked casting call) that she's of Guru Pathik's heritage, perhaps Eastern Earth Kingdom? Pre Cataclysm, the coast should be tropical and typhoon-prone, aka an east asian feel. Not sure where this city is though... maybe the climate changed, or maybe it's somewhere else.
