Shadow Lady

**Shadow Lady** is a clone of Chun-Li infused with machine technology by Shadaloo.

## Appearance

Shadow Lady wears the same clothes as her original counterpart, but her clothes are now dark blue with golden details. Her skin too is unusually dark due to the cloning process used.

## Personality

As a form of petty revenge Shadow Lady is imprinted with Chun Li’s memories from about the time she entered the street fighting tournament and truly believes herself to be the original Chun Li, being controlled by the nanites within her body. After Rose was defeated and Kasumi freed her from the nanites control it took the original two hours to convince her that she was a clone. While she isn’t about to go on a violent rampage anytime soon from this revelation, it still messed her up emotionally.

## History

Shadow Lady was left in the care of The Doctor while he re-equipped the facilities to be able to contain and test Kasumi Tendo. After they were successfully able to induce the Dark Ha Do within Kasumi. Rose ordered Shadow and Shadow Lady were ordered to retrieve her and Shampoo. They arrived shortly after Kasumi defeated Copycat Ken. Activating their camouflage they attacked the group about to take her to the clinic. Shadow Lady attempted to take Shampoo, only to be stopped by Ranko, Makoto, and Kuno. Seeing that it was taking to long Rose ordered her to leave and rejoin Shadow.

She arrived as he was being confronted by Sailor Moon and he used the distraction of surrendering to allow her to knock her out. On Rose’s orders the two collected her as well. After Kasumi proved to be resistant to there manipulation Shadow and Shadow Lady along with Shadow Moon were ordered to kidnap Shampoo. Storming the Kuno mansion they made quick work the guards while Shadow Moon dealt with Makoto and Ranko.

When Saki arrived at Hotel with a group of fighter to rescue Kasumi, Shampoo, and Usagi while annoyed the Doctor assured Rose that they wouldn’t get far with the magical wards in place. That view changed when he watched Frost blast through a door which she shouldn’t be able to do. He realized that she must have had one of the neutralizing keys. With about 20 minutes estimated before the group found the stones, Rose ordered for Shadow, Shadow Lady and Shadow Moon to stop or delay them.

After the group was divided by a trap Shadow Lady wasted little time in knocking out Takeshi and despite being against four people, Shadow Lady was able to hold her own, much to Saki, Ranko, Chun Li, and Kuno’s frustration. Knowing that the longer they spent there the longer they had to move Kasumi, Shampoo and Usagi Ranko opted to stay and fight Shadow Lady by herself. Saki helped the recovering Kuno out while Chun Li decided to stay and fight with Ranko.

Chun Li had been forced mostly into a support role, mostly acting as a distraction or getting the unconscious Takeshi. Still Ranko’s greater skill forced Shadow Lady to resort to more of her arsenal. She was placed at an even greater disadvantage once the second stone was destroyed granting Chun Li more of her power. The pair rushed their opponent from either side, and Shadow Lady unable to deal with their combined might resorted to using her missiles. However, unlike all the other times, not a single pair of missiles came out. Instead, across her whole body, tiny hatches opened up revealing dozens of missiles. An instant later, the air was full of projectiles flying in every direction. Explosions engulfed the floor sending debris in every direction.

Ranko was able to protect both herself and Chun Li with a ki shield. Having expended the last of her stockpile Shadow Lady began powering up a Kikoshou strengthened by the psycho power within her. Recognizing the stance Chun Li prepared her own to block it, and after several seconds of a contest of power between dark and light energy the two were left exhausted allowing Ranko to deliver the final blow.

Shadow Lady regained consciousness outside, and despite her injuries upon hearing Chun Li talking about locking Rose up tried to get up to stop her. Only to be grabbed by Claigin and Akane who she couldn’t resist in her weakened condition. Mint and Lime similarly moved and seized Shadow who was likewise regaining consciousness. Revealing that she could speak Shadow Lady told them that they couldn’t take her master.

After concluding that the android clone was no threat and that she could understand her. Chun Li explained to Shadow Lady that she, Shadow, and Rose were all under arrest. Given the circumstances she wasn’t sure what would be done with them, but they were to dangerous to be let loose. By this point Kasumi had regained consciousness and since she still had control over the nanobots from when Rose possessed her, freed Shadow and Shadow Lady from their control. Since it was Rose being corrupted by the Psycho Power and not Bison Chun Li agreed not to arrest them, but they still needed to be taken in for observation.

While at the Interpol detainment center after coming to terms with the fact that she was a clone, Shadow Lady was examined by various lab techs, an x-ray determined that  she could nearly pass for human even under that kind of scrutiny. Shadow and Shadow Lady ended up departing without permission. Rose has kept in contact with them intermittently, and though they both still struggle to a degree with their existence they are working through it together.

## Abilities

Shadow Lady was built using the same the same technology used to build the Psycho Drive. Specialized nanobots invade and control her body. However as a superior model to Shadow the nanobots were allowed to heavily augment her. Thus she is able to infuse her limited shape shifting ability and Nano-technologically-constructed missiles with the moves and unique attacks of Chun Li.
