New Emote

A new emote is now on the PBE! No details on what it is for:

Style: Rank S

Miscellaneous 

• Interestingly enough, other files matching the style of emote were also found as easter egg files! These mention the name "Samira".

• Spirit Blossom Yone skin bio added:
• "Long ago, two brothers fought a bitter war across Ionia. Yone, the older brother, was a warlord renowned for his adherence to honor and duty. He fought to defend the country against those who would break its rites and rituals - until he was forced to confront his own brother for his crimes. Both were fated to fall in their final duel... a lesson, perhaps, in pride and hubris."
• New loot assets:
• Akana Grab Bag
• Akana Orb
