User blog:Emeraldblade95/PG Removal: Chai Xianghua



For this Removal Proposal, I'm nominating Chai Xianghua from the Soulcalibur Series.

What is the Work?
In Soulcalibur (the second installment despite its name), Xianghua was given the sword (disguised as Krita Yuga, one of the three treasures of the Shaolin Temple that Kilik trained in) by her mother; she was initially unaware that the sword was the scared Spirit Sword in diguise.

Later on in her life, she train to become a member of the Royal Chinese Guard, with her sword was her trademark weapon. Eventually, she met Kilik and Maxi, and the three of them decided to track down and slay the Azure Knight Nightmare.

The three traveled to Ostriensburg Castle, where they confront the Azure Knight, during the climax, Xianghua's sword reveals its true identity to her as Soul Calibur, and uses the sword to slay the misanthropic embodiment of the Cursed Sword, stating "I'll Carve...MY OWN FATE!"

Later in series, Xianghua continued to protect the innocent against the Cursed Sword's influence, and when she grew old, she handed down one of Kilik's scared artifacts to her daughter Leixia.

Why she doesn't Qualify.
While her goal in the game is rather noble, Xianghua can be decribed as upbeat, ambitous, and mischievious girl who likes to tease her oppoents, often times in the form of feinting incoming attacks (often times accompanied by her trademark catchphrase "Just Kidding").

She is noteably overconfident (almost to the point you can call it arrogance); this has often times proven to be her main weakness in battle.

Verdict
In truth, this is the first nomination I am a bit skeptical about, but from reading the criteria, I think Xianghua should be rejected for the category.
