Biography
Zhaohui began her operational life under her weapon's designation, CS/LS06. She worked as a bodyguard for the boss of an art trading company. She had a keen sense of justice, and so when she discovered that her employer was involved in illegal acts, she felt greatly ashamed to have work for him and ran away, seeking repentance as a knight-errant. She ended up badly beaten up (whether by her employer or from other thugs isn't specified), damaging her facial expression module and her synthetic skin. She would have been scrapped for parts if she wasn't saved by a young Underground Broker named Aminda, who took her as her associate in charge of deliveries. CS/LS06 worked for Aminda until they had to move to another Green Zone to escape vengeance from a competing broker. CS/LS06 decided to resume her life as a wanderer, and Aminda suggested she should change her name, so CS/LS06 took the name Zhaohui,[1] “Breaking Dawn”.[2]

At some point, Zhaohui's path crossed another wanderer in CHE-09, Daiyan. Six months later, Zhaohui and Daiyan met again in POL-05, where Zhaohui had been helping the inhabitants. When Zhaohui entered the apartment of local musician Faina to bring her necessities while she was in the hospital, she caught Daiyan and Jiangyu who had entered the unlocked apartment, thinking it had just been robbed. A brief standoff occurred before Daiyan and Zhaohui recognized each other. This first encounter left Jiangyu with a grudge that continued for years. Zhaohui then helped Daiyan to investigate POL-05's culture in her quest for musical inspiration. When the sisters left the city, Zhaohui gave Daiyan her contact info.[3]
Later on, Zhaohui, Daiyan and Jiangyu, as well as the sister's former Griffin colleague Faye, formed the musical band called Monsoon. When Dandelion called on to Daiyan and Jiangyu to help the Commander as they transported Helena between Odesa and Lviv, Zhaohui came along[4] and participated in the fights against Paradeus and Mangi Security Service.[5] While Daiyan and Jiangyu wanted to remain at the Commander's side aboard the Elmo, Zhaohui was hesitating to trust the Commander, and had trouble choosing between staying with Monsoon or remaining free to travel where she willed. She eventually decided to join the Elmo after witnessing the Commander's character, when they and the Elmo crew helped her protect the Talia theater troupe on Aminda's request.[6]
During the incident in Lviv, Zhaohui served as Group 3's coordinator, organizing with Centaureissi the evacuation by air of the other groups based on the informations from the Monsoon members on the ground.[7]

Commander, Are You Feeling Better?
Commander, I noticed that you seemed to be in low spirits recently. Upon closer observation, I believe it is caused by mental stress caused by overwork.
I've found some unusual weapons in a local underground broker's inventory. If you'd like, we could go on some simple missions together to earn the funds needed to purchase them. I'm sure you'd be happy to try them out, and appropriate amounts of physical training would be effective at lowering your stress levels.
See you in the ops room Commander.

To: Commander
The weapons we ordered from the broker have arrived. I'll send them to your room shortly.
Like I said before, these weapons are not standard-issue. Therefore, I've booked the training room for to practice with them. Would you like to join me?
I know you were once a veteran soldier, and I've seen your skills first-hand when we were on those missions together.
I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
Also, limbering up should be good for your stress levels.
Let me know what time is convenient for you. I will be waiting.
Mail - Exilium 1 Year Anniversary
Zhaohui's Anniversary Message
Commander, my anniversary report is as follows:
First, thank you for tolerating my lack of humor.
Following your advice to improve my sense of humor, I have recently begun practicing- telling jokes. For example... why don't ELIDs eat fast food?
You probably didn't get it, so let me explain: because they can't ketchup with their nutrition goals.
Daiyan rated it 0.3% better than my last attempt, though I have no idea how she quantified that. I thought it was a decent joke personally.
I used to consider the scar on my right arm a sort of deterrence, but seeing you frown at it every time, I'm now considering getting it repaired at some point.
I will strictly adhere to the "three-second" rule in future operations-though blocking bullets for you remains an exception from such restriction.
May I continue to be your sharpest blade in the coming future.
P.S. I recently learned a suona rendition of "Hao Yun Lai", though Jiangyu said it sounds more like a funeral tune and somewhat inauspicious- perhaps I should play "Tian Mi Mi" next time?
