Yeah, An Liu is probably the best of them. RE Plumed serpents, that's the southern/jungle favoring subfamily, the group who favor drier climates like the plains and desert of the american midwest tend to browns, reds, and yellows, whether of the weather-magic school or not. Thunderbird was one of the weather magic type, Firebird was not, and Quetzalcoatl was fond of healing and utility magic.
As for the redeemable rakshasi dark general... Hmm. There's the choice between something hindu based for her name, or a variation on Byakko, the white tiger of... one of the cardinal directions... from Japanese tradition.
Even if Miyou's jounin is considered an opponent, it still needs two more Dark Generals - you've got to have four, after all: the weak one, the traitor, the redeemable one, and the psycho. The middle two are taken care of, but the slots for entry-level evil weenie and bloodthirsty evil bastard are still open. Foxboy, did you have some ideas, or just the suggestion for rakshasa as the invader demons?

Edited again to add: There's a good reason to go for Byakko for the rakshasi - if the other two generals favor taking the forms of a turtle and a bird (Crane?), the four Dark Generals have the theme of the four gods of the corners of the earth - at least, I think that's what they are. Since rakshasa ar shapechangers, appearance is an easy thing for them to manage.What, you think Samuel L. Jackson isn't going to survive the zombie apocalypse?
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
