the biggest thing was that I wanted him to actually look like he was related to RingRing
also ditched the whole “space alien” thing
I stand by that the whole Dong King arc could have been better if they leaned into the pre-established opera-royalty-gods themes Ring-Ring had instead of the weird starwars parody season 3 was going for

Dong King, Spirit of Luck and Fortune
“Dong King” isn’t his True Name, it is just his current mortal name (knowing his true name grants the person power over him)
rather popular amongst mortals, even if he’s been more stingy about his blessings in the last few decades
used to keep maidens, but sent them away once he was married
one of his Former maidens cut off his right hand in attempting to kill him
rivalry with Chef Dumpling began initially in an attempt to woo the oblivious chef, but has since turned into a bitter revenge scheme
he takes great joy in peoples bad luck (it’s much more entertaining to watch people struggle)
absolutely adores RingRing, she’s his perfect little girl
being a spirit, it’s hard to find mortals who are compatible with him to procreate
things are tense with his wife atm, however
