Xiahouji's inclusion bothers me for a few reasons.

1. She's not that deserving, plain and simple. Especially over other possible candidates. This alone makes her pretty bad.

2. The fact that she looks so young alludes to the fact that Koei's going to make a point of her being wed at such a young age. Marriages of such young women were normal for the time, so this in itself doesn't bother me. That brings me to point....

3. They can get away with Zhenji being the game because they never have to address her death or the nature of it in any way whatsoever. However, there's no way of getting around the fact that Xiahouji was wed to Zhang Fei and it's portrayal is going to be completely corrupted to make it look extremely happy and positive. This is a rather normal occurrence in the series, but with an entirely different context here.

Even still, I can stomach all of that. What really irritates me is how much younger she looks than Zhang Fei's own children. That bothers the fuck out of me.

But whatever. What's done is done.
