Xing Cai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xing Cai (星彩) is a fictional character appearing in the Koei video game series Dynasty Warriors. Her design is based upon the Shu Han emperor Liu Shan's two wives, both of whom were Zhang Fei's daughters.

Daughter of Zhang Fei, Xing Cai is married to Liu Shan (alternatively named "Liu Chan" in the games), ruler of Shu Han and her father's nephew by oath.

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.

Xing Cai also appears in Warriors Orochi. In it, she, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Zuo Ci rescue Zhao Yun, who is being held captive at Ueda Castle. Xing and Yoshihiro later join the Shu Han faction.

Xing Cai appears on the cover of PlayStation Portable game, Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2. She was, however, removed from the Dynasty Warriors 6 roster.
