Shenhua

シェンホア

Shenhua is a Taiwanese assassin working for Mr. Chang. She favors various edged weapons for close-quarters combat, specifically a pair of kukri knives connected by a leather cord at the handles. She is also proficient with throwing knives. Shenhua is a professional rival of Revy, having collaborated with and opposed her on occasion. Her personal faith is Taoism. One of her most distinctive characteristics is her fragmented speech pattern, which constantly shifts between Chinese and English. This trait is comparable to that of Shampoo from Ranma 1/2.
It is unclear whether Shenhua possesses any unarmed hand-to-hand combat skills, though it appears probable. In the anime, she fights exclusively with blades and never engages anyone in genuine hand-to-hand combat.
