as well as adding information about Da Qiao's Japanese voice actress
e-mailed to me from another Da Qiao fan. You will find it in the
"Author's Advice on Playing Da Qiao" section, since I wasn't sure
where else to put it.

DISCLAIMER:
I do not OWN the character Da Qiao, Dynasty Warriors or any intellectual
propertypertaining to this game, or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
Da Qiao has been my favorite Dynasty Warrior since Dynasty Warriors 3,
the original, back in 2001. I wrote an FAQ for her two years ago, for
Dynasty Warriors,and recieved a lot of positive e-mails about it, so
I thought I'd write one for her again for Dynasty Warriors 5.
This FAQ is written for the English version of Dynasty Warriors 5,
released on March 29th, 2005.

Section I -- Da Qiao's In-Game Bio.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Her In-Game biography can be accessed from the "Encylopedia"
section of the game.
Da Qiao: ? - ? (DOB undetermined)
Daughter of Qiao Xuan, wife of Sun Ce of the Wu Kingdom.
Together with her younger sister, Xiao Qiao, they were known as two
of the land's greatest beauties, and were referred to as,
"The Two Qiaos." It is said that their beauty shined brighter than any
moon or star, and put the most beautiful flower to shame.

Section II -- Da Qiao's Musou Mode.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Fortunately, Dynasty Warriors 5 brings back the personalized Musou Mode
for every character, which keeps the game far more interesting than the
generic, oversized Musou Modes featured in Dynasty Warriors 4.
Like most character's, Da Qiao's Musou Mode is five stages long.
184 A.D. The Yellow Turban Rebellion.
191 A.D. Battle of Shi Shui Gate.
192 A.D. Battle of Jing Province.
197 A.D. Battle of Wu Territory.
208 A.D. Battle of Xia Kou.
Da's Musou is pretty much comprised of her following her Sun Ce around
throughout his stages. Toward the beginning of her Musou Mode, Sun Ce is
very worried and would prefer her to not take part in battles, but toward
the end, he comments on how strong she's become, and that he is proud
to have her there. For some reason, Da Qiao is never actually SEEN with
her sister Xiao Qiao. (And vice versa) Her ending is an FMV,
(The first REAL FMV the Qiao's have ever been featured in, since they've
been in DW3) which shows her with Sun Ce, enjoying what time they
have left together, looking off into a sunset near the water.
Interesting Tidbits from Da's Musou:
Sometimes when you attain 50 K.O's, Sun Ce will say to you,
"Just like our first date, huh Da Qiao?"
What exactly did they do on their first date? o.0;
During the Battle of Xia Kou, when you approach Gan Ning, he will say
to you,"I don't know if I should kill you or kiss you."
Da Qiao replies with something like, "I won't let you hurt Lord Sun Ce!"

Section III - Da Qiao's Costumes.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Default Costume:
She wears a baby pink blouse, with slightly poofy sleeves, and red
trimming around the neck and cuffs. On top of that is a red sleeveless
bodice/vest, with gold trim and accenting. Tucked beneath that, she
wears a royal blue pleaded skirt, which is angled upward on the left
side. Over the skirt she wears a silver sash, the top half has a red
paintlike design on it, while the bottom area, that covers the only
right side of the skirt, has a gold painted design on it.
She wears a pair of light pink shimmery stockings
that go up to the thigh, with a pair of white high heels.
Da's hair is rolled up and braided into tight little pigtails on the
sides of her head. Atop her head, sits a pink hair ornament, little pink
rose buds, with four pink leaves descending from the top of them.
A small, light blue veil hangs from the hair piece, behind her head.
Second Costume:
Palette swap of number one. The blouse is now purple on the top collar
and shoulder region, but fades down the sleeves into a light orchid
color.The vest/bodice is now white. Her pleaded skirt is now a deep maroon,
and the top part of her sash is now violet, while the bottom long half
on the right side is now lavender. Her stockings are a shimmery purple,
and her shoes remain white. Her hair ornament is now fuschia, and the
veil is now lavender.
Third Costume:
This is her default costume from Dynasty Warriors 4.
Da's pigtails are now rolled up into a
small twisted design. Her hair accessory is a half flower, with gold
accenting, and she has a thin, gold chain on her forehead, connecting
to her hair ornaments. She wears a red shiny vest, with gold accenting.
Underneath it, is a blue, slight bell-sleeved blouse, and the trimming
on the sleeves are gold and red, and cream. Her skirt is royal blue,
and it's pleaded slightly, with a diagonal slope, making it slightly
longer on one side. She wears cream colored shimmery socks, that end
before her knees, and little red and gold slippers, with blue on the
tips.
Fourth Costume:
Pallete swap of number three.
Her hair is new pulled to the side of her head into two small buns, with
a large flower design hair ornament in front of each one. The petals are
red and blue. (Sort of like a half daisy.) Her socks are shorter, and her
skirt is longer. She has a small piece of red fabric around her left
thigh, in a weird little twisty design. Her hair ornament becomes light
pink, her sleeves become a shimmery light pinkish cream color, her
skirt becomes purple, and her socks become a speckled reddish white
design.
Koei felt the need to exclude my personal favorite costume for her, her
originalDW3 costume. >.
