Sun Shangxiang (孫尚香, onyomi: Son Shōkō) is a fictional character (based on the historical figure Lady Sun) from the Dynasty Warriors video game series by Omega Force and Koei Tecmo. She was introduced as a playable character in the 1997 weapon-based fighting game Dynasty Warriors, and has appeared in every Dynasty Warriors game since, along with the Warriors Orochi spin-off games. She is often depicted as a tomboy fighter who is the daughter of Sun Jian, younger sister of Sun Ce and Wu emperor Sun Quan, and wife of Shu emperor Liu Bei.
Character Information
Personality
Sun Shangxiang is an upbeat and independent woman who is considered to be a tomboy by many players. She is loving and loyal to her family, slightly respecting her brother Sun Ce over Sun Quan. Always eager to lend a helping hand, she frequently wants to show her worth in battle, which usually worries her father and brothers. However, they're proud that she shares her family's dignity and enthusiasm. She's addressed as "Princess" (姫様, hime-sama) by Wu's vassals, only being called by name by her family and Liu Bei. She also shares many interactions with her lady guard Lianshi, with the Wu princess treating the latter much like a friend.
Her optimistic and headstrong nature contrasts the relatively gentle Liu Bei. She addresses him as "Lord Liu Bei" in the English script and "Lord Xuande" in the Asian script. In her eyes, her husband is incredibly heroic and she often looks forward to seeing him in action. When he doubts his strength to protect her, she often responds that his kindness is his true saving grace. She often remains loyal to Shu despite any grievances she may have when they face Wu. Liu Bei explains that her sadness and conviction helped him forgive Sun Quan for causing Guan Yu's death in Dynasty Warriors 6. She has a minor rivalry with Zhenji in Dynasty Warriors 3; the accompanying expansion Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends briefly changes it to Zhurong.
During the Warriors Orochi series, she becomes friends with Ina, Tadakatsu Honda, Magoichi Saika, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Kai, and Kaguya. The fourth installment focuses on her relationship with Lady Hayakawa, whose lady-like behaviour is something that she admires and wishes to have. Oichi's relationship with Nagamasa acts as one of her inspirations to eventually find her own significant other, with Oichi convincing the maiden of her charms. Nene praises her due to an excellent skills to spinning objects such like wheels.
Trivia
Gamecity's Dynasty Warriors 7 character popularity poll has her at eighteenth place; the Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends popularity poll has her at thirty-second. In Famitsu's character survey, she placed in three categories: tenth place for most wanted sibling, sixth place for most desired friend, and fourth place for girlfriend. The latest poll for the eighth installment puts her in fortieth. She is the third most transcended character in the Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed character poll. The character poll for overseas fans puts her in fifth place for the Wu division.
Before 2012, Koei titles separated the Chinese characters for her name and called her "Sun Shang Xiang". Her character name is now properly localized in the games.
