**Chun.Li**
Profile Image
Chun.Li pronounced in Mandarin as Chu-in Lee (3rd tone) & (3rd tone) is a female fighter from Capcoms Street Fighter series. She wears a Qi Pao (Chi Pow) which is a traditional Chinese style dress from the Ching Dynasty the last growing dynasties in China; when the Manchus incorporated their style of dress. The Qi pao is traditionally a form fitting garment that hugs a womans bust line and thrusts the waist and hips into a presumed coke bottle shape. This is equivalent to the western style corset. However the Qi Pao that Chun.Li wears is heavily modified for the purposes of martial arts. The slits on the side are much higher than normal and she wears a white comma bun; this in western culture is a formal belt that a man wears for the purposes of a tuxedo.
- Realistically it would be impossible for anyone to be acrobatic in a form fitting dress with a tight belt. Gymnastics requires proper breathing and movement so that tumbling and layouts are possible.
She wears a traditional hair style known as Ox horns or Ox tails a hair style that divides the scalp into two for braiding. Two braids are made and then are wrapped around each other individually to make two consecutive braided buns. Over these buns is a fictional hair ornament or diadem that covers them with ribbon that streams from each. In reality we have a hair ornament similar that caps over buns, this is called a snood. Chun.Li wears to white pearls in each ear and wears brown opaque hosiery underneath her qi pao. On her feet she wears white string up combat boots that are shin length. Most important of all on both wrists of her hands she wears a spiked bracelet.
Historical Profile
Chun.Li first made her appearance in the Street Fighter scene in 1991 when fighting games where starting to become a huge beacon in the arcade gaming scene. What makes her so special is that women in video gaming universe were traditionally damsels in distress, captured girl friends, or background characters. Chun.Lis appearance in video gaming as a key stand alone game character was a revolutionary move in the wave of gaming at the time. There have been others just like her, but few share an important caliber as Chun.Li. This is solely based on her fan popularity and her strong position within the Capcom storyline. As the main female protagonist of Street Fighter she would remain to be represented over and over within many Capcom fighting games to follow.
Unlike many of the other fighters represented in Street Fighter Chun.Li relies more on her speed and her agility to overwhelm the player from her fast kicking and acrobatic abilities. However when looking at her under a critical lense, a Chinese female martial artist up to date has never been recorded to have legs as big as Tyco drums, nor possess the speed of Capcoms signature of her: Lighting Legs Chun. Lis utilizes Chinese martial arts as traditional system that was used in war known as Kung.Fu. Chun.Lis art form is a Shaolin Style of Kung.Fu called: Wu Shu; but she also uses Tai Chi Chuan as well. Tai Chi is used for the well being and is known to promote health and longevity. Chi is the central bases to all of Chun.Lis attacks. Most notable her Kikoken (Key-Ko-Ken) (Translation: Spirit Wave Blast) although Chun.Lis arts are Chinese based, her attacks are all in Japanese. Ki is the Japanese equivalent to the Chinese concepts of Chi. both believe that the true control and source of power dwells within the pit of the dantian (Dan-Tea-An: Stomach)
Chun.Lis background theme in the majority of Capcoms Street Fighter games is: To your Heart with Passion this tune is also noted or named as Dragon Lady Due to the lack of disk space and technology, I assume that during the year of 1991 Capcom could not utilize traditional Chinese instruments to play Chun.Lis tune. However since this is a fighting game we are talking about its necessary to have background music match with the up beat-ness of the game.
Life Story So Far
Chun.Lis story takes place notably during the years of her pre teens. She is young girl who wishes to travel the world and wants to be a famous tour guide. She Speak mandarin Chinese but never utilizes it in any of her travels. She is trained by her father in the Chinese traditional martial arts both Wu Shu and Tai Chi Chuan. Her father who was best friends with Gens close friend, Lee (Street Fighter 1987) both trained together and became long lasting buddies.
Chun.Lis father would continue to train her until the day of his abduction by Shadaloo organized crime syndicate. Chun.Li would then become aware of her dads activities as she would come to find out that her dad was a world class investigator and worked exclusively for Interpols Hong Kong sector. Chun.Lis goals immediately changed and went to work towards becoming an agent herself but not until passing various exams and working for several employers eventually earning her right throughout the years to wield enough clout to set up an investigation to find the perpetrator behind her missing father.
At one time she was a Jr. Police officer, then an actual officer. She became frustrated that her position put her at a disadvantage and prevented her from fulfilling her personal goal. So on her travels back to China she ran into Gen, and through a sparring match was able to gain some insight onto where Shadoloos operations usually take place. Upon thinking she discovering Shadowloo, what she found was that Shadowloo was funding a mad scientist by the name of Sadler to conduct experiments to gather various fighting data from fighters all over the world. Sadler would meet his end by the hands of Ryu whose fighting potential would be too powerful to be recorded thus over powering and abolishing Sadlers biogenic ally enhanced body. From there Chun.Li recorded the data and used that info to locate Shadowloos main base. Upon her arrival, Chun.Li was awaited by Bison (Vega Jap-) who bested her in battle and was sparred her life. Bison had noted that her stunt to parade into shadowloo and take him down alone was quite amusing to him. But he had threatened to kill her if she had ever got into his way again.
Discouraged, Chun.Li reported back to Interpol with insufficient evidence to convict him and thus was denied rights to exercise anymore investigations to discover Bison. Infuriated, Chun.Li then made unauthorized calls to the US air force and created an alliance with Charlie (Nash Jap-) and Guile. All three took their separate routes as they vowed to find Bison. Chun.Li who would once again become close to victory would fall short of the bar once more as her journey led her to find the truth behind Bisons ulterior motives.
Bison would work towards creating a perfect biologically engineered body to host his Psycho Power while genetically altering abducted fighters he scowered the world for. He utilized his psycho reconditioning ability to totally strip the identity of the person or persons into being an unconditionally loyal servant and body guard while he worked towards his utopia and presumed world conquest. Chun.Li who thought she had enough data to convict him was intercepted by Cammy White; Bisons Psycho reconditioned Pet and body guard. In an attempt to stop Bison herself, she was not aware of Chun.Lis motives and intentions, and detonated the base of shadowloo that hosted Bisons Psycho drive and in the confusing mess Chun.Li was forced to evacuate the facility before it exploded.
Chun.Li would then realize that this would be a long fight as she would work towards stopping Bison and criminals such as him from corrupting the world. Once again with insufficient evidence, Chun.Li took a break and worked on redefining her fighting abilities and skills, that is until she received an invitation to participate in the Street Fighter World Warrior 2 tournament. Suspecting that Bison is behind the creation of the tournament, Chun.Li would set off from work to finish what she had started. During her struggle she would encounter Cammy White once again but only this time interrogating her for her affiliation with Shadowloo and the assassination of the prime minister of England. Needless to say, by the near completing of the tournament, Bison would be assassinated by an unknown force, Akuma. (Gouki Jap-) Thus Chun.Lis quest to avenge her fathers death technically has never been successfully achieved. In the end, Chun.Li rounded up the rest remaining of Bisons entourage and finish decimating the remains of the Shadowloo Empire; as she would be entitled for generations to come as the legendary legs that took down the organization. Chun.Li went back to becoming an investigator an in the process would go on to becoming a figure head for Interpol while taking on the responsibility becoming Interpols Trump Card.
Several years later
Chun.Li would receive a message from her superiors that a kidnapping had taken place. Shes given the assignment to go find the missing girl and bring her back alive. Little investigating was needed because Interpol gave Chun.Li the invitation to attend the Street Fighter World Warrior Tournament 3. Within the invitation contained the information behind the child kidnapping. This years sponsors were not identified but based on information given by Chun.Lis Superiors, a group known as the illuminati were the sole sponsors of the tournament. Believing that there could be a connection between the tournament sponsors and the kidnapping, Chun.Li set off to complete her next mission.
It was later reviled that a mysterious man by the name of Urien presented himself and the whereabouts of the kidnapped child. He had made an offer that if Chun.Li could defeat him in battle then he would release the information as to where the child location was. Chun.Li bested Urien and is speculated that she too was the one to defeat the leader of the illuminati group conglomerate, named: Gill. Gills intentions were to use the girl for a biological experiment but of course did not attain his goal.
After liberating the girl from the control of the illuminati group, Chun.Li then had an epiphany. She realized that the years she spent bent on revenge lusting over the death of her father is not what her father would have wanted her to become. She decided that it was time for a change and with that new change of action she adopted the girl that she rescued. In addition opened up a public martial arts academy bent on teaching the meaning of what it really means to fight. She would go to conclude that she will use her fists to create a better future.
