Sun Shangxiang

The lady of Wu, is often mistaken to be a tomboy, due to her short hair, and the fact that she has her ladies in waiting in full armor most of the time. She was interested in martial arts, especially the bow. She married Liu Bei. In Dynasty Warriors 1 she uses a sword, in 2-5 she uses chakrams, and in 6 she uses a bow and arrow.

Kessen
Sun Shang Xiang appears under one of her alternate historical names, Sun Li, in Kessen II. She is a skilled sword fighter who leads an all woman army into combat. Before she clashes with the enemy, she'll usually commence a short warm-up sequence with a handful of her troops. She first meets Liu Bei before the battle at Chi Bi to criticize his mad strategy. When her brother talks about Liu Bei's empathy for the common people, she leaves Wu to join Shu. She becomes fascinated with him and offers to be Diao Chan's replacement. Though he declines her offer, Sun Li stays loyal to him for the rest of the game.

Biography
Sun Shang Xiang was the first daughter of Lady Wu, and of Sun Jian. Also sister to Sun Quan and Sun Ce, making her Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao sister-in-law therefore related to Lu Xun. She is often reffered to as Lady Sun, and because of her name not being officially recorded her real name isn't known, the most common names used in culture however are are Sun Shang Xiang, and Sun Ren (or Jen).

She was interested in martial arts from a young age. According to "Romance of the Three Kingdom" when Liu Bei went to visit her after the wedding had been arranged he was shocked to see her room decorated with weapons all around (also at her ladies being in full body armor, and having fencing as a hobby). He even asked her servants to take them down (to which she had them do, but laughed saying,"Afraid of a few weapons after half a life time spent in slaughter") When she and Liu Bei fled from Wu she and Zhao Yun took the rear guard against pursuit. When the Wu generals caught up they were more afraid of her than Sun Quan's wrath.

Although Liu Bei supposedly loved her, they never had children, mainly because the passage of her handmaids above was true, they were in full armor and weapons and this scared Liu Bei considerably. After a few years when Wu-Shu Alliance was stressed she was called back by Sun Quan saying Lady Wu was ill and wish to see her and Liu Chan, Liu Bei son(her son-in-law).(Some sources, mainly Romance of the Three Kingdoms say this was Sun Quan's plot to kidnap Liu Chan). She indeed set off to return with Liu Chan but at the border, as recorded by Zhou Yun's Diary, He and Zhang Fei stopped her. They couldn't dissuade her, but they stopped her from taking Liu Chan. She never did see Liu Bei again, but after news of Liu Bei's death, she cast herself in a river and drowned.

Game Play
Sun Shang Xiang's main point is speed. Once she picks up her ultimate weapon and add a high level speed scroll she can easily keep up with or pass horsemen. She is also a great crowd killer due to most of her attacks swinging all around her. She falls short in attack power, and range in her 's but is can be fixed with a wind scroll and tiger amulet. As far as fighting, her ,,,undefined and ,,,,,undefined are her main attacks, the former knocks back Crowds in front and the latter Devastates enemies surrounding her. With elements she does best with lightning in dw4 along with vorpal, and in five she does well with any(Ice for more musou damage, fire for extra damage, shadow for crowds, and Light for generals).

In Dynasty Warriors 6, her attack range is improved with her bow and arrows. Though she still suffers from a weak defense and attack power, the amount of arrows she shoots with each shot normally nulls these weaknesses out. Contrary to her older counterparts, a good portion of her attacks are stationary (excluding the later part of her chain and musou). She is one of the few characters in the game who can play a solid keep-away game with her opponents but she can be very deadly if all of her shots connect at a short range. This ability allows her to destroy objects such as wooden gates and archer towers in a shorter amount of time than most characters. If used correctly, the same could apply to her enemies as well.
