Dong Bai (董白, onyomi: Tō Haku) is Dong Zhuo's granddaughter with an unknown father. She was given her passage to adulthood ceremony and a grand title and lands at an unceremoniously young age despite a 50-year-old Zhu Jun's protests. For the grand ceremony, a platform was built to be five to six che –about 116 cm (3'10") or 139 cm (4'7") in modern conversions– and she rode in a blue-covered golden carriage as thousands of soldiers marched behind her. Dong Huang was said to have given her the seal personally. Dong Bai has no other mentions in historical records.

Before her playable main series's debut, she was playable in Shin Sangoku Musou Blast. She placed eleventh with fans in Gamecity's Shin Sangoku Musou Blast first card promotion poll.

Role in Games[]

Dynasty Warriors[]

Dong Bai is a non-playable character in Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires. She randomly appears during mercenary quests and may reward players should they come to her aid. Blast has her appear as a generic officer under Dong Zhuo.

As a unique NPC in Dynasty Warriors 9, she is initially among Dong Zhuo's personal guard and Li Ru. She remains by her grandfather before they flee to Chang'an.

She outlives her grandfather's demise and constantly dogs her grandfather's murderer to avenge him, first launching a sneak attack at Yuan Shao's main camp while Lu Bu is subjugating Zhang Yan and his bandits. She attacks him again near the port of Ye, when he fights Cao Cao for Yan Province. Dong Bai's final appearance has her attempt to obstruct Lu Bu's alliance with Yuan Shu to counter the battle against Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Her own story, available through DLC, is almost completely hypothetical, however. First of all, her story starts after her grandfather's death at Chang'an and she furiously tries to find out who were the culprits. After pursuing all-out through her officers, who have rebelled due to the chaos, and looking for tip-offs, she's eventually found out that Diaochan, Lu Bu, and Wang Yun have been responsible for the murder of her grandfather. Pursuing the vixen out of the city limits, she looks to apply the finishing blow before Lu Bu comes to her rescue, throwing both Dong Bai and Zhang Liao back, causing Dong Bai to declare vengeance on Lu Bu.

Dong Bai helps restore the balance of Dong Zhuo's forces by resolving the conflict between Li Jue and Guo Si, reminding them that, as Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, she is the leader of the Dong forces by blood. She gathers ministers and Han officials, and with the help of Cai Yong, drives Yuan Shao out of Luoyang, restoring them to power. She then heads to Yuan Shu to receive supplies and drives off Yuan Shu herself when he refuses to help her.

After gaining the Wu forces as allies, she turns her attention to Lu Bu, who hides at Xiapi Castle. Dong Bai punishes Chen Gui and some officers for defecting and convinces peasant militiamen to revolt against Lu Bu. Liu Bei and his oath brothers pledge their services to Dong Bai after Lu Bu is captured.

However, Zhang Liao fled to Cao Cao, finding Dong Bai's methods unethical. She gathers her forces to finish off Cao Cao, and with Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Chen Gong, and Lu Lingqi's help, she smashes through the city's defenses, causing chaos.

Dong Bai's ending has her in her throne room, with major warlords bowing down submissively to her. She enjoys her newfound power, but it is revealed to be a fantasy.

In her grandfather's Story Mode, when she tells him of the disruption in Liang Province due to Han Sui and the brigand tribes, she convinces him to deal with it in hopes of getting in the good graces of the Imperial Court. The plan works, and Dong is soon summoned by the Ten Eunuchs to Luoyang. He promises that once he is in power, Dong Bai will get anything her heart desires since Dong will have the money and power to accomplish it. Soon enough, once Dong Zhuo establishes himself as Prime Minister and takes over control of the Han Dynasty from Emperor Xian, Dong Bai joins her grandfather, along with Lu Bu, Diaochan, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, and other loyal officers in attempting to stop Cao Cao from fleeing the capital after his failed assassination attempt on Dong Zhuo, then joining her grandfather as he hunts down and eliminates the Anti-Dong Zhuo coalition before choosing to retreat to Chang'an upon knowing Luoyang is no longer safe as long as the Allied Forces threaten to attack and overthrow Dong Zhuo if he stays in the capital any longer.

In Lu Bu's Story Mode, Dong Bai and her grandfather are still around as Lu Bu agrees to join Dong Zhuo after taking out Ding Yuan and then eliminating the Allied Forces by taking out Yuan Shao at Guandu, but after retreating to Chang'an to escape the Allies, Dong Bai is stunned and furious to find Lu Bu having arrived in Chang'an with Diaochan and Wang Yun to eliminate her grandfather. She fails to protect her grandfather, and he meets his end at Lu Bu's hands. Infuriated and seeking vengeance for her grandfather, Dong Bai fights Lu Bu at every opportunity she can take as Lu Bu goes after various warlords before settling on capturing Xiapi as his new home base, then attacking him while he aids Liu Bei with negotiations with Yuan Shu, but is bested in every battle, swearing that she'll get her revenge next time she and Lu Bu meet on the battlefield, but never resurfaces to attack Lu Bu again when he makes an alliance with Yuan Shu to support him in the impending battle against Cao Cao and Liu Bei's joint forces where Lu Bu meets his end, thus gaining Dong Bai her revenge through Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms[]

Dong Bai's debut come as an obscure secret character in the ninth title. The player must conquer Mei fort during Yuan Shao's coalition scenario and spare her. This is specially difficult as the player has to conquer Changan before Luoyang to be successful.

The eleventh Romance of the Three Kingdoms game includes her as a secret character with passable charisma and below average stats. Her skill is relatively rare and increase the gold received each month, making her more valuable in cities that are safe from invasions. Her XIII incarnation has a relatively high war rating instead. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV her stats are again like the XI instalation and her personal trait provides some gold to the force each turn.

Character Information[]

Development[]

Her Blast design was made in ode to Dong Zhuo. Her "cruel smile" and ax in this game signified her tendency to eradicate anyone who displeases her. Suzuki commented that her Dynasty Warriors character was designed with the themes of creating "a cute and cruel girl". Her dress is meant to look expensive and adorable if not for its sinister coloring. The spike and chain accessories represent her fiendish nature.

Personality[]

Dong Bai, like her grandfather, is cruel and selfish, but sweet and cheerful to Dong Zhuo. After her grandfather's death, she becomes sadistic towards Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

Despite her sadistic tendencies, however, Dong Bai shows a sympathetic side. In her story for Dynasty Warriors 9, she tells Cai Yong to stay alive for his daughter's sake (albeit in a haughty and demanding way), indicating a degree of care for the people around her. She spares her defeated enemies under the premise that being forced to serve her would be a better punishment than death. She also genuinely appreciates talented and dedicated subordinates, as seen in her cordial treatment of Sun Ce, and when Zhou Yu gives her unexpected praise, she gets flustered.
