==Personality==
Chun-Li is a resourceful and dedicated officer of the law with a strong sense of justice that rivals that of her father, as she strongly believes in protecting the innocent and saving the lives of others.
She is a highly disciplined, seasoned, and courageous woman, and is often the voice of reason. As an official of Interpol, she takes her work as a cop with pride (showing pride at what she does when she saves another), outside of her duty as a cop, she has an elegant, sweet, and feminine personality. 
Chun-Li however, is not without her flaws, as she has shown to get very competitive with criminals in Street Fighter media, and does not take kindly to those who insult her pride as a cop. Because of her devotion to justice, she often becomes allies and friends with other soldiers and cops. Additionally, she has shown great resilience and determination in pursuing intense crime organizations, such as Shadaloo.
==Relationships==
Cammy White is actually Chun-Li's best friend from the United Kingdom who works for the British special forces called the "Delta Red" so that she can help her friend defeat M. Bison, the leader of Shadaloo. She had a very good relationship with her father. Chun-Li is also close friends with Guile, Ken, Ryu, Sakura and Karin. However, Chun-Li has a complicated relationship with Juri, as they started off as bitter enemies in Street Fighter IV before becoming uneasy allies in Project X Zone and Street Fighter V. Chun-Li trained with Gen for a certain time. She has made enemies with M. Bison, Vega, Balrog, Crimson Viper (unintentionally), Seth and Urien. She has also made friends in the Vs. series with Morrigan Aensland, her Project X Zone partner.
==Biography==
Chun-Li's father was killed by Bison, so she joined Interpol to get resources to find and bring him to justice. During the events of SFA2, her martial arts teacher (and an old friend of her father's), Gen, gives her a lead on who may have killed her father. She begins to investigate the mysterious crime syndicate, Shadaloo, and eventually confronts M. Bison. She demands that he tells her what happened to her father, but he attacks her and quickly defeats her. He tells her that he will kill her if she attacks him again, and flies away in his airship. With tears in her eyes, Chun-Li swore vengeance. 
In SFA3, Chun-Li teams up with Air Force members Charlie and Guile to track down Shadaloo. After they locate the base and set up an attack, she learns that Bison tricked the Air Force into canceling the bombing of the Shadaloo base. She rushes over to the two soldiers to tell them they were tricked and have to destroy the base on their own. Guile and Charlie proceed to Shadaloo base located in Thailand to plant bombs around the base. As they go inside to destroy the Psycho Drive, Guile comes rushing out to tell Chun-Li that Charlie had urged both of them to get away. The base explodes with Charlie inside, who they later believed to be dead, along with Bison. Despite being distraught over the lack of evidence to prove Shadaloo's crimes, Chun-Li and Interpol manage to shut down the operations of the Shadaloo evil empire.
After retiring, Chun-Li finds life less than what she had hoped for, and felt uneasiness. Soon she is tracked down by Guile, who reveals evidence of Shadaloo's return. She returns to Interpol and teams up with Guile and Cammy to take down S.I.N. and discover what really happened to M. Bison. She enters the S.I.N. tournament to take down Shadaloo once and for all. On her way, she is approached by Abel, who is searching for any leads on the Shadaloo organization. During the tournament, she also encounters Gen, who is also participating, and asks him for more information on her father's death. Later, she tries to arrest Juri for questioning but is unable to defeat her and bring into custody. Infiltrating the S.I.N. dam facility, she is trapped after Vega activates the base's self-destruct sequence. She is eventually rescued by Guile and Abel. After the tournament she tells Guile that she is not just fighting for her father but also for herself, and that she will continue to be a cop.
During the time of SFIII: 3rd Strike, Chun Li made her peace and continues her work as a police officer. She retires from street fighting to teach young children martial arts after taking down Shadaloo for good. Urien kidnapped a young girl for his scientific projects and Chun-Li manages to catch up to him. Challenging him, she defeats Urien and reclaims the young girl. Since then, Chun-Li has continued to raise her adopted kids.
