Name mean.
I thought I would add just some info on what the names mean: Shao translates into meaning "laughter" (but only if used as a surname) and Jun translates to mean "truth". In chinese numerology Shao represents 2 and Jun represents 7. Not sure if this is of any use but it is kind of interesting. -- ► Kaloneous ◄ ♣HelpDesk♣ 19:51, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
Additional info:
Jun can be written using different kanji characters and can mean:
- 純, "genuine/pure"
- 潤, "moisture"
- 淳, "pure/genuine"
- 順, "obey"
- 準, "conform to/consult with"
- 洵, "truth"
- 隼, "falcon"
So falcon seems to be a good candidate too but it is Japanese not Chinese. -- ► Kaloneous ◄ ♣HelpDesk♣ 13:17, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Are we 100% sure that she is, in fact, Chinese? Otherwise the article chould probably say "with East Asian heritage" or something like that. GuustaavS 20:46, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
Shao Jun is a Chinese name. Would be misleading if she wasn't Chinese. -- Master Sima Yi 20:47, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
When flipping the number "2" for Shau and "7" for Jun you get the famous and myterious number "72" Pheopheonix1234 22:23, September 1, 2011 (UTC)pheopheonix1234
@Pheo, it is definately interesting but we should wait to make any assumptions until we know more. Not long with only 74ish days till the games release. 22:30, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
Next Game
Is anyone else thinking that she might play a role in the next game? 71.7.225.215 02:03, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
I don't believe that she will be the next ancestor. Probably because she seems too close to Ezio's time. That doesn't mean to say that there won't be any mentions of her however. Slate Vesper 03:56, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
not nessesarily the next ancestor. just the next game. 71.7.225.215 01:41, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
I actually think she'll be the next ancestor. After all, her task (raising an Assassin brotherhood in China and combating the Emperor and the Templars) seems perfect for the historical portion of an Assassin's Creed game. That's not even getting into how her presumed nemesis, Jiajing, is explicitly mentioned in Subject 16's Cryptic Messages. Plus, even though her lifetime was very close to Ezio's, Ming Dynasty China was very different, both artchitecturally and culturally (After several games with Christianity as a major part of the cultural background, imagine how much of a breath of fresh air Taoist China would be) from the Italian Renaissance. 86.131.127.154 07:28, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
I think she would be a great pick for the next ancestor. I think they would do best to have a character that is as distinct from Ezio as possible(otherwise they'll always be compared unfavorably to Ezio), and a Chinese, female, former-concubine assassin does the trick. Also, moving the game out of the Mediterranean would be a great move. The conflict between the Assassins and Templars is supposed to be a worldwide battle, but so far we've focused on a very small part of the world. 65.27.127.246 19:47, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
I agree with the guy up there. It would make a great sense if she was the next ancestor. How will Desmond (will it still be him?) relive her memories, I dunno. Probably, if that happens, it won't be him because his lineage is from Flavia, and there's no connection between them. Maybe she appears somewhere in the future as a Subject 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 or even Clay's ancestor. It's about waiting.186.213.21.180 02:57, December 26, 2011 (UTC)sameguyfromtheemailbelow186.213.21.180 02:57, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
I doubt she'll be the next ancestor (If there even will be another ancestor) because the game is supposed to be on Desmond. It's possible that she could be, but even if she is, we'll only play as her for a little bit. Ubisoft said that most of the gameplay of the story will be of Desmond, and the rest will be of someone else. So, yeah, maybe it's another ancestor and Desmond is going back in the Animus AGAIN (I hope that doesn't happen).
And actually, I doubt Desmond will even GO back into the Animus again just because (SPOILER!!!!) he found out everything he needed to do at the end of Revelations by Those who came Before. But no, my opinion is that she is not the next ancestor. As for playing a role in the game, maybe. Unlikely if Desmond doesn't go back into the Animus. D3T&FS 03:22, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
The Box given to her by Ezio?
What was in the box Ezio gives her in Embers, just before she left? 2.24.46.230 10:19, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
No one knows. Ubisoft hasn't revealed it.. Nesty Contact me! 10:21, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
I saw some people saying it was the apple, but Ezio didn't have it anymore. The Masyaf Keys wouldn't fit there. I thought in the Codex, but here in the Wiki it says it was separated. One of Ezio's gadgets wouldn't be enough relevant to help her if she "loses the way". But if you believe on the theory just above, that she will be the AC3 playable character (which is very possible) they surely will put the box content somewhere to show. It's just about waiting.
