What? No! TLK2 was way better! The OG Vitani had a very rugged, edgy look to her that I absolutely loved her design. She was raised as Zira's daughter in the Outlands, She's obviously very tough and was trained as a warrior... her face just shows it, you just automatically know.
TLG Vitani was just weird, I agree about the part where you say they look completely different. They changed her fur colour, changed her eye immensely, and gave her a random floof on the top of her head that I didn't like. Honestly her OG design is wayyyyy better.. but you can obviously have your own opinion so yeah
