This incarnation also appears as one of the two secret bosses in Yang Hu's story of Dynasty Warriors Bloodlines 2

DLC
(TO BE ADDED)

Starting
Sun Deng is a kind, hardworking and intelligent young woman. She occasionally smiles and would often help people in time of need.

Underneath her smile, however, lies a lonely woman who never, prior to meeting Zhou Tai, had any friends. Her loneliness implies that she tries to hide her own insecurities over a kind shell surrounding her.

Caring Mother
Her most notable trait is her caring approach to her loved ones, especially her daughter, Sun Jun. Unlike her previous incarnation, she is well aware of her love and was shocked and regretful that her daughter almost succumbed to grief.

Regret over her Original's path
Upon discovering that she's the current version of the original incarnation of herself (The Insane Tiger in her opinion), Deng feels guilty for her past actions. When being told about them, she was disgusted at her old self, mainly because of how she deals with her problems. Despite her concerns, she took the Sun Deng title in hopes of being remembered as something else than her being the only known portion of Mary Shepherd-Sunderland. Especially since she decided to inherit some of her original's traits

Comparisons with Mary Shepherd-Sunderland and Yumi Ogura
Yueying revealed that Deng has some form of relationship with both Mary Shepherd-Sunderland and Yumi Ogura, something that she often gets annoyed with being compared to the latter. Until it was revealed that Deng is a portion of Mary. This foreshadows the possibility of her hailing

Dynasty Warriors Bloodlines
Although her original self takes part in most of the story, she doesn't appear until the very end, where she is stuck at Purgatory with her old self.

Darkness
Deng wakes up to find herself in a simulated

Dynasty Warriors

 * Guan Yinping - Despite being from alternate universes, Yinping is amazed at Deng's strength.
 * Zhou Tai - Being his disciple from the Bloodlines universe, Deng respects him as an mentor
 * Sun Jun - She loves her daughter as much as latter.
 * Sun Chen - She is often annoyed at her nephew's antics, but cares for him like he's her son.

Samurai Warriors

 * Lady Hayakawa
 * Toyohisa Shimazu
 * Oichi

Warriors Orochi

 * Taigong Wang - ?
 * Joan of Arc - ?
 * Achilles - To Deng's own shock, Achilles is impressed with her fighting skills.

Bleach

 * Rukia Kuchiki
 * Ichigo Kurosaki
 * Sosuke Aizen
 * Grimmjow
 * Retsu Unohara
 * Soi Fon
 * Toshiro Hitsugaya
 * Byakuya Kuchiki

RWBY

 * Ruby Rose - Deng doesn't believe Ruby's view on the world. She hates the idea that the world goes through Ruby's way: Saving everybody. She harshly reminded her of the reality behind saving and killing, even if she disagrees.
 * Weiss Schnee - Aside from Team JNPR, Team CDRL, Raven, Team CFVY and Port, Deng thinks she's the only one that is sane and knows the true line though she's skeptical of her inability to understand the truth. Their relationship has significantly improved with the help of Haru, leading Deng to feel bad for Weiss (Knowing that Weiss told her about her past, Deng immediately felt that Weiss was getting screwed over by her teammates).
 * Blake Belladonna - She doesn't get along with her at all, mainly due to Blake's refusal to see the line of good and evil. While this has softened during her time in Atlas, she still doesn't like her for being a complete hypocrite and a coward.
 * Yang Xiao Long - Like Blake, but worse, only the difference being Deng criticizing her on her abandonment issues.. If anything, Deng despises Yang for being what she used to be. Deng and Yang hate each other with a passion, which leads to a series of confrontations that left the both of them lashing out at each other. Their relationship went from bad to worse when it was revealed Yang knew about the Spring Maiden and refused to tell anybody, which gave her an opportunity to call her out on her hypocrisy.
 * Jaune Arc - Deng scolds him on a daily basis for his poor leadership skills during her time in Beacon. Her stance on him has softened after Haven Academy though she is annoyed at his clueless attitude. Jaune knows he upset her greatly with his behavior since Pyrrha's death, but he discovered that even if he does cheer her up, he would still be invaluable in her eyes. This led to him realizing Deng was right the whole time.
 * Nora Valkyrie - One of the few characters that hasn't upset Deng at any form. However, Nora's unaware of Deng's disappointment towards them has left a big black mark on their relationship, such as when Nora insisted on
 * Pyrrha Nikos - Deng's first love and also the only one that sees the real her. As such, Deng was devastated when Pyrrha was killed by Cinder.
 * Lie Ren - Arguably one of the few characters that hasn't upset Deng at any form. Unlike Nora, however, Ren is well aware of Deng's own disappointment towards them. As such, Deng was not happy when Ren easily was fooled by Neo, which made him lose a relic in the first place.

Immortal Hounds

 * Rin (Fuurin) - Both of them have a strained relationship initially. Deng dislikes her methods of killing innocent people, despite being well aware of the Vectors. However, they came to agree with each other when Deng finds out about Mama's true intentions.She also was told of what really happened to her by Yueying.
 * Shinichi Kenzaki - Despite his hatred of Vectors, Deng and Kenzaki are in great terms and has come to understand his explanation on why he hates them. She also gave him a choice to either spare Kouda or kill him for causing his sister's death.
 * Snow White - Arguably is one of Deng's most dangerous enemies. Due to being mistaken as a guy (She wrapped her chest with bandages to cover her breasts), she was lured out by Snow White, who proceeded to give her RDS by sleeping with her.
 * Mama - She blames her for her neglect and her lack of compassion towards Rin.
 * Teruyoshi Kouda - Despite all the stuff that happened, Deng doesn't hold any grudges against Kouda, mainly due to him being innocent. Of course, this divided both Rin and Kenzaki.
 * Karigane - Deng is often disturbed by her remorselessness

However, unlike Mary, who suffered from Mood Swings, Deng doesn't suffer from any of what Mary had. Her face is oddly identical to Yumi Ogura from Another.
 * She can be considered similar to Yusaku Fujiki from Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS with her Bloodlines 2 appearance taking notes from his look.
 * Despite being in her early fifties, Sun Deng looks youthful for her age. This is a hilarious mention to Koei's adaptional attractiveness to certain characters.
 * Sun Deng is one of the few characters to be a Chick Magnet
 * In Japanese, she's voiced by none other than Rie Takahashi, who's known as the voice of Emila from Re:Zero and Megumin from Konosuba.
