Characters by Walter Reimer, from the serial story, Luck of the Dragon)
(Circa Chapters 186 - 191)

Via Walter Reimer -
"The Ni Family: Shortly after Ni Hao's marriage to Hu Xiu, the entire family
 sat down for a photographer while they were still on Spontoon Island.
We see them here in a very relaxed mood, unusual for a family of Chinese gangsters.


"Allow me to introduce them!

"In the upper left, there are eldest son Ni Peng-wum and his Spontoonie wife, Nailani.
Yes, she's a rabbit; their son's a Cute Event Horizon.


"Upper right is Wo Fang, a Manchurian tiger and his wife Shin, the daughter of the family.
She calls him her 'widdle kitty,' and he used to be a bouncer at the Lucky Dragon,
the casino/brothel operated by her mother.


"Center, there are Ni Hei on the left and Ni Peng on the right. They are in their fifties,
and despite events they have managed to prosper while keeping the family together.


"At bottom, Ni Hao is shown with his new bride, Xiu.
Hao's the youngest member of the family and a bit of a psychopath.
He's about 19 in this picture, with about two-dozen murders behind him.
She's the only child of a prosperous family in Hong Kong.
