Pai Chan

Pai Chan is one of the main characters from the Virtua Fighter games.

Pai is a martial arts movie star in her hometown, and the daughter of renowned Chinese martial artist Lau Chan.

Appearance
Pai is a young female with black hair, dark brown eyes, a petite nose, and pink lips.

She wears her hair in "ox horns", a traditional hairstyle that is mostly worn when wearing traditional clothing ; the rest of her long, waist-length hair is worn in twin-braids. She is slim, average height, and athletic, but her appearance is less provocative than that of the Dead or Alive female characters: she has a smaller bust, and a smaller body frame, due to her original series having a more normal and less provocative presentation of female characters.

Her main outfit is a blue Chinese shirt with blue pants, a red sash, and black shoes. The rest of her starting outfits are taken from Virtua Fighter, including her pink and red crop top purple and pink pants with white shoes, red cheongsam dress with sandals, and a white Chinese shirt with bluish training pants.

In Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, she can wear her hair cut short to reach her neck.

Personality
Pai can be quiet and reserved, especially when thinking of her mother. However her mood can go from reserved to cheerful and full of life in a flash. She struggles at times when in a match with a male not to become overly aggressive and lose her edge. She is always looking to impress others with her skillful and quick fighting style. She is also determined to train harder to prove to her family that she is worthy to take the place of her father as the master of the all powerful art of Koen-Ken. When out of the ring Pai is easy to work with and gets along well with her peers.

Abilities
Her moveset is carried over from Virtua Fighter: she's a fast moving and striking character who has a more defensive style. While fast, she lacks in strength, and her basic moves do little damage. To make up for it, she can string together long combos and can mislead the opponent by mixing up her movements, making her difficult to accurately hold and counter against. Her holds are very weak, and do little to no damage, but can space her away from her opponent, or leave them wide open for a long attack sequence.

Her throws are also quite weak but safe on the distance, keeping her opponent at a safe distance. She is a very easy character to use, and is perfect for beginners who want both a fast-hitting and defensive character.

Trivia

 * Pai was revealed alongside Gen Fu, with screenshots of her shown fighting against him. This was probably a reference to Pai's anger directed toward her father, in the Virtua Fighter series.
 * Pai and Sarah are the only females in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round who do not have a Private Paradise scene.
 * Unlike Akira and Sarah, Pai doesn't appear in the Dead or Alive 5 story mode (another one is Jacky).
 * All of Akira, Jacky, Sarah, and Pai's lines are recycled from Virtua Fighter 5.
 * In Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax where both Akira and Pai are the guest bosses, Pai's is given a less new voice like alternate hitted grunt, while most of the others remained the same as the previous game she appeared (excluding in Project X Zone is new) due to her being set as an assist character, and as for Akira received a full new voice since Project X Zone due to him being set as a playable fighter.
