Sun Shangxiang

## How Sun Shangxiang joined the Tourney

Taught martial arts from an early age, Sun Shangxiang is a girl who wants to prove her worth in battle. Depending on the course of the story, she will either be seen fighting under Shu or Wu's banner. Although she is often one of the starting characters for Wu, her appearances as a computer opponent fluctuates with each title. In *Dynasty Warriors 2* and *Dynasty Warriors 3* she generally appears in the later battles. Depending on whether Zhou Yu has lived past Chibi, she may be replaced by him at the Battle of He Fei Castle. She appears early within Wu's ranks in *Dynasty Warriors 4* and is the only subordinate general who cannot be replaced in the Yellow Turban Menace stage.
