And tbh, hair bun is not exclusive to Shadow. Any NPC who wears Rag Common Helm will sport a hair bun. Galen also have hair bun if you look closely. I am not taking about the bun. I am talking about the two braids of hair which are a signature of shadow. There might also be people with braids, but none have two of them just like shadow. And Xiang Tzu has two of them right there.

That is the sole reason I mistaked him for shadow in the first place.
