Chien Na Wei (Earth-180)

## Chien Na Wei

"*Anything for a friend.*"
— Chien Na Wei's promise to her allies
**Chien Na Wei** (**简娜伟**), generally referred to as **China White**, is the top mercenary and assassin of the Chinese Triad. After the death of her former mentor Zhishan, Chien became the new leader of the Chinese Triad. She was a frequent adversary of the Arrow until being arrested and later recruited into the Ghost Initiative by A.R.G.U.S..

She later became a frequent adversary of Green Arrow and Black Canary, and the Star City SCIS Department. Chien was being hunted by Agent Samanda Watson of the SCIS as well as Green Arrow and Black Canary, and her vigilante team, Team Black Canary.

## Personality

Chien Na Wei was trained by Zhishan to be a cold-blooded assassin. She kills quickly and efficiently, each kill to her is nothing more than a job. She follows a type of "warrior's code", showing no mercy to her enemies and expecting none in return. She does have a sense of revenge; when Helena Bertinelli kills Zhishan, she attacks the Bertinelli Mansion and declares that they will kill everyone. She seems to hold a grudge against the Arrow for injuring her and interfering with her plans.

Chien is a ruthless criminal as she robbed medicine transports and even wanted to sell the lethal Omega virus on an auction to the highest bidder. Chien carried out her missions regardless of collateral damage and civilian body count.

Later, she is detailed further, showing her "warrior" side and giving her motivations other than bloodshed. She shows these things when she is spared by the Arrow. She mocks him for sparing her life, implying that he's softened.

Chien has also been shown to be loyal to her allies, which is encapsulated by her catchphrase, "Anything for a friend", which she usually says when her allies request help or thank her.

## Abilities

* **Peak of human physical condition:** As a highly skilled assassin, Chien is in top physical condition, able to take on and pin down much larger, imposing adversaries.
* **Master hand-to-hand combatant/Martial artist:** Chien is extremely proficient in unarmed combat and martial arts, having trained with the Chinese Triad since early teenhood. She was able to quickly overpower John Diggle and nearly killed him on two occasions. Chien was able to beat the Arrow in their first encounter and stalemate in their second encounter before finally being defeated in her third encounter with the Emerald Archer, despite being aided by Ben Turner. Chien could hold her own against the vigilante, Green Arrow and far more skilled than in their last encounters, even managing to briefly knock him down long enough to flee, although they were initially outpaced and struggled to do so. In their next encounter, Chien briefly fought evenly with Green Arrow before being defeated again. She was also able to fight on par with Dinah Drake, blocking the latter's bo-staff attacks while barehanded and even managed to pin her down, forcing Dinah to use her sonic scream to push Chien back. After her time with the Ghost Initiative, Chien's fighting prowess seemingly tremendously increased, allowing her to best Typhuss James Halliwell in their latest duel but not without extreme effort.
	+ **Master knife wielder/Knife thrower:** Chien is proven to have lethal skill in wielding a pair of karambit knives and uses them as her main weapons, both in close combat and throwing them from long distances. In their first battle, Chien battled with and overpowered the Arrow with her knives while he used his bow as a melee weapon. She was also able to throw two karambit with exceptional precision straight through a windshield, killing two guards. Chien even simultaneously fought against Green Arrow and Black Canary with her knives.
	+ **Expert markswoman:** Chien is skilled in the use of firearms, able to fire multiple shots from a driving car.
	+ **Expert swordswoman:** Chien is highly skilled in swordsmanship, able to go head-on with and eventually defeat Tatsu Yamashiro.
* **High-level intellect/Expert tactician/Leader:** Chien was able to carry out her various plans and outwit her enemies through surprise tactics. For example, she obtained Omega virus by drugging an employee with Vitura, making him steal it for her and not remember it afterwards. Cien was able to track down the house of Maseo Yamashiro and kidnap Tatsu in a bid to force Maseo into returning the Omega virus to her. Chien planned attacks on both the Bertinelli Mansion and Malcolm Merlyn and was able to successfully ambush and steal trucks transporting medicine in The Glades.
	+ **Multilingualism:** As a native Chinese, Chien speaks Mandarin fluently, in addition to English, Cantonese, and Japanese.
* **Stealth/Infiltration:** As a highly skilled assassin, Chien can move around unnoticed. She was able to silently take out multiple guards and even sneak up on the Arrow in their first encounter. In many of her encounters with the vigilante archer, Chien managed to quickly flee the scene when disarmed or the SCIS interrupted.

## Equipment

* **Karambit knives:** Chien uses karambit knives as her main weapon of choice. She has backups for these weapons and is always seen fighting with them in each hand.
* **Guns:** Chien used a gun while guarding her mentor, Zhishan. She used this gun to return fire when Helena Bertinelli attempted to shoot him.
* **Katana:** Chien can proficiently wield a katana and was able to hold her own against Tatsu Yamashiro, eventually winning their fight (off-screen). During their rematch, Chien disarmed Tatsu of one of her katana's using it against her in tandem with one of her karambit knives.
* **Smoke grenade:** Chien used a smoke grenade to escape from Green Arrow.
* **Throwing knife:** Chien used this throwing knife to mortally wound Tatsu Yamashiro in their final fight.
