Standard Equipment: 
*Guard Variant:
**A stave in the form of a Sword 
**Chi Xiao (Hanzi: 赤霄; lit. "Crimson Firmament"): Chi Xiao is a jian/katana hybrid and one of the few known weapons manufactured from tempered Originium, allowing the wielder to unleash a devastating Originium Arts attack even if they are unable to use Arts. Chi Xiao power is determined by the wielder's will, as it is based on one's mental state rather than sword mastery. If the user lacks willpower, they will be unable to un-sheat it at maximum strength. Described as a "cloud-splitting" sword, it was previously owned by Wei Yenwu, but he passed it on to Ch'en on her birthday.
*Sniper Variant: Several water guns, which she gained in Dossoles, included an assault rifle provided by Tequila, a shotgun, and explosives.
Intelligence: Gifted (Ch'en has spent over ten years perfecting her sword techniques to the point that she can deflect sniper arrows and pinpoint the shooters' positions with ease. She saw right through Mephisto's scheme to entice her, break through his guards' formation, and nearly murder him. In the battle against Talulah, she and Amiya manage to counter most of Talulah's flame attack while suffering from tremendous heat and oxygen deprivation. She is the superintendent who led Lungmen's force to fight against Reunion's invasion and successfully drive them off. Ch'en graduated with straight A's in all mandatory subjects and outstanding recommendations from her lecturers from the Royal Victorian Guard School. She became the quickest promoted officer in the history of the Lungmen police force after joining the Guard Department, as well as the Department's youngest Special Inspector. This causes crime and casualty rates to drop dramatically in two years, and the younger generation of officers to be promoted more quickly and substantivelyCh'en's File; Archive File 2)
Weaknesses: Chi Xiao won't respond to Ch'en if she doesn't hold a strong resolve. She struggles with using Chi Xiao and Originium abilities; however, she is slowly improving the former and circumstances the latter by using a sword-like stave.
