Xingcai

Xing Cai is the daughter of Zhang Fei. She is married to Liu Chan, ruler of Shu and her father's nephew by oath. Her design is based upon the Shu emperor Liu Chan's two wives, both of whom were Zhang Fei's daughters.

She is depicted as a calm and collected warrior who wields a two-pronged fork called the "Ambition". Her ultimate goal is to protect her husband's kingdom in her father's stead. Xing Cai is depicted as being young, free-spirited and loving hunting. She is also ambitious, curious and somewhat coy. It is suggested that Xing Cai and Guan Ping, adoptive son of Guan Yu, harbour feelings for each other. Together with Guan Ping, Xing is portrayed as the future of Shu.

In the Dynasty Warriors series, she is 19 years old.

Role
Xing Cai, is the second female character to enter Shu's selection. She wields a war fork and fights in the stead of her father after he is killed. Outside of her own Musou mode (and Guan Ping's) she only participates in two late battles. She is shown as loving her husband, Liu Chan, and fights to defend him from the forces of Wu.

Warriors Orochi
In both games, Xing Cai begins as an initial character of the Shu army. In Warriors Orochi 2, her first battle is the Battle of Wuhang Mountains where she and Inahime are asked to lead the reconnaissance troops. During their expedition, they notice flags they have never seen before and a carriage with a single flag. The flag's insignia is soon identified to belong to Mitsuhide Akechi. The two young daughters of the Shu heroes hurry to battle to assist their friend to find that the carriage is carrying Mitsuhide's daughter, Gracia. The two were being "recruited" into Kiyomori's army. Xing Cai remains in the main camp to defend the western flank, allowing Mitsuhide and Gracia to be rescued. The combined forces of Akechi and Shu attempt to capture Sun Wukong and question him about Kiyomori Taira but fail to do so.
