Appearance:
Chun-Li's appearance has differed several times in the Street Fighter series, as well as in official art and cameos she has made in other works. She is known for her very muscular thighs.
Chun-Li's ox-horns hairstyle is now unadorned and her bangs are already slicked. Her primary outfit has been updated but minor changes. Her qipao now resembles a cheongsam with a pale blue as the primary color, with and the right short sleeve of her dress, as well as her leggings, being her signature blue. Design patters of the sky, clouds, birds, and water run all along her dress. With the sky blue being the main color on the outside of her outfit, gold serves as the primary color for the inside of Chun-Li's cheongsam, almost inverting the outside colors of the Chinese dress. Chun-Li replaces the pantyhose and boots with blue leggings and black Chinese toe shoes. Her leggings and her flats resembling the same leggings and flats worn by her anime counterpart in Street Fighter II V as her primary outfit.
Personality:
Chun-Li is a resourceful and dedicated officer of the law with a strong sense of justice that rivals that of her father, as she strongly believes in protecting the innocent and saving the lives of others.
She is a highly disciplined, seasoned, and courageous woman, and is often the voice of reason. As an official of Interpol, she takes her work as a cop with pride (showing pride at what she does when she saves another), outside of her duty as a cop, she has an elegant, sweet, and feminine personality.
Chun-Li, however, is not without her flaws, as she has shown to get very competitive with criminals in Street Fighter media, and does not take kindly to those who insult her pride as a cop. There are also times she is shown to have a fairly rash side to her personality, as shown in her ending of Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix. As pointed out by Nash and Guile, Chun-Li tends to let her emotions get the best of her while on duty, this has at least on one occasion almost caused her demise at the hands of Bison. As shown in her story mode and in A Shadow Falls, Chun-Li has been told this and she has promised not to do it again while it keeps happening.
Because of her devotion to justice, she often becomes allies and friends with other soldiers and cops. Additionally, she has shown great resilience and determination in pursuing intense crime organizations, such as Shadaloo.
In her Street Fighter V arcade ending, a surprising trait was revealed that Chun-Li is inept at cooking, (averting her usual femininity like Lucia, but not to the point when the food becomes humorously bad like the latter) to the point of burning her food while following cooking instruction and Li-Fen having to take over with what remains of the ingredients.
Chun-Li displays her kind and caring, almost motherly, traits in her Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike arcade ending. After rescuing Li-Fen, she goes on to teach Kung Fu to children. Chun-Li was inspired by all the people she's met on her journeys, and has made it her new goal to teach her new students about strength and beauty, as well as to help shape their future.
In Street Fighter 6, she maintains the same elegant and caring personality. Because she's taking a break from work, and she has Li-Fen to take care of, she isn't as headstrong to rush into dangerous situations like she used to be when she was in the past. But whenever a fight does come her way, she won't hesitate to defend herself or those she cares about.
She is a little stricter with Li-Fen this time around, now that she's older and often times spends way too much time on her computer, but deep down, Chun-Li still very much cares for her. She treats her like a little sister, although she admits she's young enough to be her daughter. It took some time for her to open up to her after being rescued from Shadaloo and taken in by Chun-Li. But ever since, they are rarely seen apart. Chun-Li loves spending time with Li-Fen, whether it be shopping, going to get sweets, or even just teaching kung fu, her motherly personality shines even more so than ever.
Chun-Li is also very encouraging and endearing to Guest. In addition to being one of the Masters Guest learns martial arts from, Chun-Li also encourages Guest to experience the many cuisines that the city and world has to offer. In addition, she teaches that solely focusing on martial arts can lead to inflexibility in mind and body, and that single-minded dedication is key for self-improvement. Chun-Li also encourages to take breaks from fighting from time-to-time, saying that a change of pace can do good for Guest
Chun-Li's legs are her unmistakable trademark, and not only her source of power in her fighting, but also a source of pride in herself, her kung fu, and her strength. When Chun-Li asks the Guest what they think of them will result in different reactions from Chun-Li. Calling them "Inspirational" will get gratitude out of Chun-Li, and she'll be okay if you stared at them longer. Calling them "Thick" however will get Chun-Li flustered, and she'll threaten to teach them a lesson.
Chun-Li expresses delight the further Guest masters her martial art in World Tour mode. Guest even tends remind Chun-Li of her past self when she was training. She also compliments Guest as they progress in their own journey of seeking strength, and even considers asking them to assist with her kung fu classes. Regardless where the Guest's journey takes them, Chun-Li is delight to meet and train them, and is excited to continue fighting for the future.
