Lianshi (練師, onyomi: Renshi) is a fictional character (based on the historical figure of the same name) from the Dynasty Warriors video game series by Omega Force and Koei Tecmo. She was introduced as a playable character in the 2011 hack-and-slash game Dynasty Warriors 7, where she is one of Sun Shangxiang's lady guards who serves as a love interest of the ruler of Wu, Sun Quan. Lianshi is also playable in Dynasty Warriors Next, Dynasty Warriors 8 (including Xtreme Legends and Empires) and Dynasty Warriors 9 (including Empires), as well as in Warriors Orochi 3 (including Hyper and Ultimate), and Warriors Orochi 4 (including Ultimate).
Character Information
Appearance and development
Lianshi was developed specifically to be added as the love interest for Sun Quan. To contrast her with the other Wu ladies, she was designed to be the "adult" character. Her facial features and voluptuous body were designed with hopes to personify her as the most matured female in the cast. To make up for her lack of military training, they decided to associate her with the crossbow, although as of Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires, her crossbow was replaced with dual deer horn knives; otherwise known in-game as mandarin duck hooks.
Akihiro Suzuki, the director, lead programmer, and producer of the Dynasty Warriors series, would later comment that Lianshi holds the position of the female character with "the most tolerance" in the series.
Personality
Kind and sincere, Lianshi is gentle support for Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan. If either one of them doubts themselves, Lianshi is the one who advocates to restore their focus with a friendly and mature tone. While she is often content to watch her masters mature from a respectful distance, she may occasionally break the tension between them by mildly teasing them. Even if she may share a close bond between her masters, Lianshi is quite aware of her status as a servant. Should she feel it necessary, she will boldly sacrifice herself to protect them without hesitation. Although she feels she is just staying true to her duty, she is always surprised when her lady or master ride to her rescue.
Lianshi is the one person outside of family who can make Sun Quan lose his otherwise serious composure. While she may be charmed by his flustered mannerisms to her, Lianshi keeps redirecting his focus to the importance of their kingdom and the morale of his followers. Soldiers do report that she often reprimands her lord whenever he gets drunk. She also shares many interactions with Sun Shangxiang, with the Wu princess treating her much like a friend. Within the Warriors Orochi series, she shares an affinity with Aya, Okuni, Naomasa as well as Naotora Ii. Lianshi comments that Aya's method of encouraging her loved ones are too harsh for her liking.
Trivia
She reached thirtieth place with fans in Gamecity's Dynasty Warriors 7 character popularity poll and fortieth place in the Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends popularity poll. In Famitsu's character survey, she placed in two categories: ninth place for most wanted sibling and sixth place for girlfriend. The latest poll for the eighth installment puts her in forty-eighth. The character poll for overseas fans puts her in eighth place for the Wu division.
In her debut her name followed the previous English localization methods of separating Chinese characters for characters' given names, thus making her name "Lian Shi". As of 2012, following the release of Dynasty Warriors Next her historically recorded given name is now properly localized in the games.
