Ohhh allow me to interrupt here. I too am a big fan of Romance of the Three Kingdoms here although I don't play as much games anymore and don't own any consoles, I looked into all these characters just for the wonderful art :D Lian Shi is not fictional. Her full name being Bu Lian Shi, historically one Sun Quan's wives and also his favourite. She has a wiki article! Cai Wenji is also historical (and I love her ahhhhhhhhh) Other obscure female character like Shu's Bao Sanniang is fictional, but fictional by folk legend and not by Koei, so I'm pretty ok with that. Ahhh sorry for being intruder but I really want to comment on Lian Shi so you can read up on her wonderful story~
It's OK! Because I'd love to learn more about the RoTK female characters. They barely got any scenes in the novel. D: And besides, it's so hard to find Romance of the Three Kingdoms fans around. My friends don't know anything about the book. Oh, I have to say Lian Shi and Cai Wenji are pretty awesome (so talented...) What do you think about Xingcai? She's also fictional, isn't she...?
Xing Cai's also historical, and actually Koei did a fun twist with her. She's Empress Jing Ai, Zhang Fei's first daughter and first wife of Liu Shan (Oh gawd yeah I know how unfortunate). Her personal name was not recorded, so Koei used her empress name "Jing Ai"'s Japanese phonetic equivalent and turned her into "Xing Cai". That's why in the game she shows some affection towards Liu Shan. She died early, but reasons are unknown. Of course her romantic tension with Guan Ping is fictional (but so cute and scandalous)
I love all the Jin character designs in DW7! Guo Huai is my absolute fav (and Zhuge Dan walked right out of Inception)
So that explains why none of Zhang Fei's daughters have the name Xing Cai... (wait, so that means Zhang Fei should actually be somewhat good looking for her daughter to become the empress?)
Me too! I'm glad they released the new designs, since they're significant characters too. I think Zhong Hui's design made me dislike him even more though. = = even though he looks... really pretty.
I didn't expect Zhuge Dan to look like that. (had a tea-spilling moment) But other than him, most people were expected to look like themselves.
