SUN SHANGXIANG
Servant: Archer
Gender: Female
Height: 149 cm
Weight: 37 kg
Three Sizes: 79/45/80
Alignment: Neutral Good
Appearance: A young woman of short stature and overall small frame. Rather than ‘mannish’ she is rather ‘doll-like’. In any case, her small breasts and hourglass shape are concealed by her clothes. For an active person like her, Sun Ren’s skin remains a clear, milky white. Black hair with unusual red highlights is mostly held together in a round bun behind the crown of her head, except for two thin crescent-shaped locks peeking out from the sides. Her narrow blue eyes always carry a spark of mischief. She wears a light reinforced leather breastplate, its color red. It is worn over a one-piece traditional white dress with ornate motifs of diverse plants and flowers. The dress is double-slit to allow Sun Ren’s legs full mobility.

Its difficulty to learn is of the highest level and, unlike other Skills, it is at A Rank that one is at a level where he is said to have finally "learned it".

Shì bì băi yú rén – Volley of the Maid Army (侍婢百餘人, Over One Hundred Maids)
Type: Anti-Army
Rank: D
Range: 3-40
Maximum number of targets: 100 people
Upon invoking the name of the technique, a single arrow becomes a volley of one hundred and one, one for each of the combat-trained maid servants that always accompanied Sun Renxian. An specific manifestation of Gradation Air by a woman who never practiced Magecraft, made possible by the combined devotion of the maids who loved her, worshiped her, but in the end could not follow her into the Throne of Heroes. Their unwavering loyalty was not forgotten, and instead re-imagined as Sun Shangxiang’s dearest skill.

Téng lóng dòu hŭ – Principle of Equal Opposition (滕龍鬥虎, Fight between Tiger and Dragon)
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Noble Phantasm
Rank: C
Range: 3-50
Maximum number of targets: 1 person
Like the dragon and the tiger which fight each other to exhaustion, their powers perfectly equal and their rivalry unresolved. So did the arranged marriage between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei conciliate her brother Sun Quan with the legendary warlord, if only for a time. As a tribute to her role as a ‘defuser’, Sonshoukou’s Noble Phantasm is the arrow that nullifies the greatest opposition.
A conceptual-type Noble Phantasm without a defined physical form; Sun Ren can imbue any of her arrows with the power of
Ryutou Koutou. She may then release the arrow in response to the invocation of her opponent’s Noble Phantasm and, upon the arrow making contact with it; the opposing heroic treasure’s effect is instantaneously nullified. The only restriction to the arrow’s effect is that nullifying a Noble Phantasm costs exactly as much prana as the unleashing of the Phantasm cost to its owner in the first place. If Sonshoukou cannot provide that amount, her arrow becomes useless. Furthermore, the arrow must ‘make contact’ with the Noble Phantasm for its effect to take place. If the Noble Phantasm does not have a tangible, physical form, then it cannot be nullified by
Téng lóng dòu hŭ.
Background
The mischievous noble princess of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. Curiously, her complete true name remains unclear to this day. During the Qing Dynasty she was known as
Sūn Fūrén (“Lady Sun”). In the historical novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” she is known as
Sūn Rén, while in the Hanjin Chunqiu she is identified as Sūn Rénxiàn. The popular name, Sūn Shàngxiāng, comes from the Chinese opera “Gānlù sì” (“Sweet Dew Temple”, but also known as “The Dragon and the Phoenix”). In Japan she is known as
Sonfujin,
Shaoren, or
Sonshoukou.
Her date of birth is unknown. What we know, however, is that she was the third child of the warlord and first emperor of Eastern Wu,
Sun Jian, and his wife
Wu Fūrén, and thus the descendant of the already legendary
Sun Tzu. Her brothers were the renowned
Sūn Cè and
Sūn Quán. She is remembered as a woman of strong personality, loyal to her family and eventually to her husband but unwilling to merely follow the instructions of others. A strong-willed woman trained in martial arts and the use of weapons; Sun Ren was unique in that she personally appointed a permanent escort of armed maid-servants. According to “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, she was a boisterous, whimsical girl; quite a handful to deal with. However, she was acknowledged by
Zhuge Liang himself as equal in power and skill to the great warlords of the Three Kingdoms era.
In the year 209, she was given in marriage to the warlord
Liu Bei, in a extravagant ceremony at Xiulin Mountain. At that time Liu Bei was already an aged general, and the difference in age between the two was of several decades, as Sun Ren was just barely past her twentieth birthday. It was a political marriage, intended to settle an alliance between her father and the powerful warlord, Liu Bei. However, it was not to last. Two years later, when relations between Liu Bei and Sun Ren’s brothers were already tense, she returned to her parents’ place in obeisance to her elder brother’s command. She intended to take with her Liu Bei’s heir, young
Liu Shan, but she was stopped by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and she was only allowed to leave after handing the child to them. This was the end of her marriage, for she was never allowed to meet Liu Bei again.
