Biography
Origin
Chang Wufei (チャン・ウーフェイ, Chan Wufei, Chinese: 張 五飛 Zhāng Wǔfēi , derived from Mandarin Wǔ, lit. five) was a male human descended from a Chinese clan known as the Long Clan. The Long Clan was long ago banished into the rundown colony A0206 by their government who were afraid of their power. In the year After Colony 194, it was revealed that Wufei was a brainy scholar who was attending a boarding school and did not want to have anything to do with fighting. Wufei was to be married to Long Meilan (or Meiran), as part of the Dragon Clan's tradition of marrying their children at the age of 14. Meilan was thought to be the reincarnation of the Chinese War God Nataku due to her incredible martial art talent, and was considered the strongest in the clan, as well as the Shenlong's intended pilot. However, neither she nor Wufei were happy about this marital arrangement. When Meilan tried to convince him to train with the others to help uphold justice, he easily defeated her in combat quoting that justice only existed for one's convenience.
Wufei met Master O, who told Wufei that he was unable to change Meilan because he only forced his conclusion upon her. Master O then pointed out that with Wufei's strength and skill he could change the course of history, but since Wufei was so smart and refused to fight it would only cause him to watch people suffer and die. Master O then asked Wufei to name the Gundam that he was creating. Wufei chose to use the name of the legendary Chinese God Shenlong, feeling that Nataku was too weak to be the guardian spirit for the Long clan.

Overview
Personality and attributes
Wufei was a loner and prefers to fight alone. He is driven by a warrior's pride, and single-mindedly battles to achieve his objectives. However, his ideals have a tendency to have a naivety to them as seen in his desire to destroy all evil to change the world. He looks down on those who do not follow the same form of warrior's pride as he does, and has a distaste for those who conduct themselves sympathetically on the battlefield. Contrary to common thought, he does not seem to look down on women in general, being amiable to many women on many occasions, including Sally Po, Lady Une, and his colony master.
He does, however, look down on women who conduct themselves like the negative stereotype of women on the battlefield, such as Lucrezia Noin's apparent compassion for him due to his young age.
Chang regarded strength and honor as very important; at one point when he lost to Treize in a duel, he thought he wasn't good enough to be a Gundam Pilot. Unlike the other four pilots Wufei doesn't fight for peace, instead he fights for true justice. Wufei prefers to call his Gundam Nataku in honor of the name his deceased young wife Long Meilan (or Meiran) called herself.
