● "Diaochan, I'm sorry. I know I always ask a lot of you."
"No, I don't find it any trouble at all. I want to repay you for the kindness you have shown me, Father."
"If that is so, then let me see you be happy. You could think about finding a nice man to settle down with..."
"Hehehe... Father, getting married would only cause me more trouble."

● "I am sorry to disturb you my lord, but I am afraid. I feel that I will never see you again once you leave the castle."
"You do not have to worry, for I am invincible. I will not be defeated by the likes of Cao Cao. I have always come back to you after a battle, have I not?"
~~Diao Chan and Lu Bu; Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII
Personality
Diaochan is an elegant and patient woman who displays her cunning with her charms. Normally a kind and benevolent individual, she painfully conceals her true feelings for her father's scheme. She does not enjoy violence yet finds that battle is inevitable in the times she lives in. A talented dancer and singer, she equates each encounter she fights as a dance. Her English counterpart is slightly stronger willed than her Japanese counterpart, who speaks in a dainty, graceful and overtly feminine dialect.
Her sincerity towards Lu Bu changes in each title. In certain titles, she seems only to be manipulating him to better serve her goals. However, many titles and scenarios depict that she truly loves him and is genuinely devoted to him. She addresses her lover as "Lord Lu Bu" in the English script and "Lord Fèngxiān" in the Asian script. Like Zhenji, her sexually suggestive phrases for Lu Bu are often cut in the English script. She despises Dong Zhuo, which she emphasizes in every appearance. While she sides with Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, she ultimately stays true to her own set of beliefs as she manipulates the men to do her bidding. In the Warriors Orochi series, she shares an affinity with Oichi and Nene during the first game while befriending Okuni, Sanzang, and Kasumi in the later sequels.
She holds the title of first female character in Dynasty Warriors.
Chinese Lure
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Diaochan is a sixteen-year-old songstress taken in by Wang Yun, a high-ranking minister in the Han court. Wang Yun, despondent after Dong Zhuo's depression, hears Diaochan crying and proposes a Double Snare plot to capture the hearts of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Diaochan accepts the offer and is introduced to Lu Bu, Wang Yun's adopted son.
Diaochan's beauty captivates Dong Zhuo, and their relationship worsens when Dong Zhuo chases off Lu Bu for embracing her outside the palace garden. Diaochan secures the tyrant's trust by making it seem like Lu Bu was harassing her and protesting the idea of being sent to him as a peace offering.
After their separation, Diaochan reunites with Lu Bu and becomes one of his wives. They move from place to place until Lu Bu's execution at Xiapi five years later. Some adaptations of the story have her die alongside Lu Bu.
Various folktales describe Diaochan's fate after Lu Bu's death, with one story giving her to Guan Yu as an offering to gain his loyalty. Another tale has Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei arguing over her, with Guan Yu killing her to prevent further discord between men.
The Yuan Dynasty opera Lianhuan Ji (連環計) portrays Diaochan as the daughter of one Ren Ang (任昂) from the village of Mu'er in Xinzhou. Her real name being Ren Hongchang (任紅昌), she became a handmaid within the Han court and handled the sable cicada headresses worn by high-ranking officials. This role is depicted as the origin of her current name. She was originally given to Ding Yuan who then handed her over to Lu Bu as his wife. When the two of them were separated during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Diaochan was taken in by Wang Yun who discovered her ties with Lu Bu and reunited them both. When her husband died at Xiapi, she was introduced to Guan Yu by Zhang Fei only to be decapitated by the former.
A different folktale has Diaochan be spared by Guan Yu before becoming a nun. Unfortunately, she commits suicide after hearing of Cao Cao's intention of making her his concubine. In another tale, however, the three sworn brothers escort Diaochan back to her alleged hometown of Muzhi Village (once known as Mu'er) where she lived for the remainder of her days.

"Perhaps you aren't of my time but I have heard of you and your connection between lu bu. Your dynasty makes a great impact on the land you serve. Genuinely as a dancer and wife. If I may make the according assumption. Where has your path taking you so far?"
