Here's my answer; copied and pasted from way back when (I'd write a new one, but that would be redundant because this peice of text encompasses all that's notable!) - Ah, Yue Ying. Ah, DW4 Yue Ying. When I first read about Yue Ying, I flipped out over how cool the elements that made her sounded. She's wearing green and white, my faovurite colours! She's using a scythe! She looks like a Valkyrie! She's aligned with the Moon! She's married but isn't defined by it (cue precursor to my talking of DW5)! She's known for being not attractive by conventional means, which is amazing! She's a genius inventor! She's a tactician! She's an ASTROLOGIST! Those are like, the elements you take, throw into a pot, and boil when creating a character I would love. And I did. I refused to play with anyone else until I unlocked her in DW4, and I only used the CAW. And playing with her was a good time. SSSSST Musou. With Attackx2. Against Lu Bu. Good times. She wasn't really featured in alot of campaigns, but the ones she was featured in she did have cool stuff to do. Like Wu & Wei's Cheng Du. Her Juggernauts were there. She gave you instruction at Jie Ting a bit. She protected the seige ramp in Xu Chang. Stuff like that. She handled herself with dignity and resect, but also down-to-earthness and matter-of-factness that was neither cold or rude. Yue Ying was strong in her resolve to do what was best for Shu, and she also had a strong love for her husband (notable when she was defeated or killed, her 'Farewell, my husband...' was so sad). The two of them did things together, but were capable seperately and matched each other well. Zhuge Liang probably needed her to laugh and understand what he was talking about half the time (since few other people would). She was pretty awesome in DW4. In DW5, apparently Koei had the great idea that 'Hey, wives are totally obsessed with their husbands and think of nothing else other than stuff that concerns their husbands!'. It became a running joke between my friends the amount of times she's say 'My husband'. We would replace 'My husband' with 'My taco' 'Kursty the Klown' and 'Nobunaga'. Her outfit was change and it was still great in a design sense, but it lost some of the practicallity in leiu of a more distinctive shillouette... Which looked like a poofy dress. I love her DW5 design, but I will admit it looks like she's wearing a poofy dress and apron. Her boots are amazing though and I will have them someday. So the only reason I could really keep liking her in DW5 was because of my immense love of her in DW4. Yes, it was that huge. That and her boots. But really, beyond this rant - I do love Yue Ying still. I love her courage, I love her intelligence, her strength, and her faith. The one aspect about her that Koei seems to like (beyond MY HUSBAND) is that she's among the most faithful of Shu's troops, I've found (or not, it's just that her faith is most mentioned). She's faithful despite being an inventor and tactician. In MO, it's furthered - she has faith that her husband is not evil. She has faith that Shu will succeed, and she refuses to submit. She has faith in herself and her allies. Faith can go a long way.
