Ahhh ... the 4 Chinese Constellations. Actually it's the constellation make up for most major Asian Nations, including Japan, Korea, & Vietnam as well as China.

The East - the Azure(bluish color) Dragon - representing Spring.
The North - the Black Warrior (Tortoise) - representing Winter
The West - the White Tiger - representing Autumn/Fall
The South - the Vermillion(reddish color) Bird - representing Summer.

The Black Warrior (or Tortoise) - is actually often depicted with two animal symbols - one a Tortoise, and the other a Snake. So the Black Warrior for this representation could be a Black Snake or Serpent.

The Vermillion Bird - could be used as a symbol for the asian Phoenix, since in some nations it's also referred to as the Bird King.

But in terms of Slayers and the various Aspects. Here's my thoughts.

Among the current line of Slayers - being India, Buffy, Kendra, & Faith.

- India - might have become the Serpent,
- Buffy - as the Phoenix,
- Kendra - might have been the Dragon,
- Faith - as the Tiger.

In this respect - the Tiger & the Dragon would be opposite. As would the Phoenix & the Serpent be.
