Litchi Faye-Ling

"All I wanted was to reclaim those days... Spent with Roy, and the Professor... I wanted it back...!"

Doctor Litchi Faye-Ling is a revered medical practitioner in the district of Orient Town, in the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. She formerly worked with Kokonoe under Sector Seven, and had been hunting down Arakune after its appearance, desperate to save Lotte Carmine. Litchi is well known in Kagutsuchi, becoming close to the Kaka and her assistant, Linhua.

Litchi is one of the original twelve playable characters who debuted in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger.

Personality
 Lacking a hidden side, one who is loved by everyone. Knowledgeable and familiar with the martial arts. Although normally very kind and feminine, alcohol causes her to act like a middle-aged man.

Borderline, The Diary, Collisions
In 2193, Litchi joined Sector Seven to be the apprentice of Kokonoe. On her first day she met Roy while she was lost and the two formed a quick friendship as they learned they would be working together. This friendship would deepen as she taught him Chinese herbalism and medicine, while he taught her alchemy. She would also come to be close friends with Iron Tager while excelling in her research under Kokonoe's tutelage and Litchi soon developed the liquid theory of seithr, a theorem lauded by Kokonoe. In time, she saw the relationship between her tutor and Roy start to stretch thin as he was being corrupted by the Boundary in his pursuit of knowledge.

Variable Heart
With Kokonoe, Litchi travelled to the 11th Hierarchical City of Shinatsu, entering the Hazuki estate. There, she met Houichirou Hazuki, Mai Natsume, Kajun Faycott, Taro Sasaga'e, Bell, and Shiori Kirihito. After everyone, bar Houichirou, agreed to join Kokonoe, they travelled to the cauldron of the city where Litchi explained that Meifang Lapislazuli had begun opening facilities closed after the civil war and was likely planning to smelt something. They were soon interrupted by a group of Fuzzy, who kidnapped Bell, and Kokonoe teleported Tager to their location where they fought the vampires off. Overwhelmed by their numbers, the group was only saved from the numerous vampires when they began to crumble into dust. Kokonoe ordered Litchi and Tager to assist her in teleporting Shiori, Taro, and Kajun to Mai's location so she could defeat Meifang.

Calamity Trigger
 A female doctor working in the downtown of Orient Town, located in the lower levels of Kagutsuchi. As a doctor, and as an understanding person, she is an indispensible presence around town. She herself also loves the town very much, so much that she forgets her own goals.

Continuum Shift
 A practitioner of medicine working in the middle-class district "Orient Town" situated in the lower levels of Kagutsuchi. In order to save her former colleague Arakune, she wrote a letter asking for help from a scientist of Sector Seven, Kokonoe. When she failed to receive a response, she decided to go visit the scientist herself.

Chrono Phantasma
 A practitioner of medicine working in the middle-class district "Orient Town" situated in the lower levels of Kagutsuchi. Although she was once part of Sector Seven, in order to save her former colleague Arakune, she decided to collaborate with the NOL. To accomplish "something", she begins to act.

Central Fiction
 A female doctor working in the downtown of Orient Town, located in the lower levels of Kagutsuchi. As a doctor, and while being very understanding, she is an indispensible presence around town. When she hears of the appearance of the "Grim Reaper," she begins to search for the "Azure Grimoire."

Although taken inside the Embryo, Litchi did not become one of the chosen. Her memories were still altered, however. Upon hearing from Linhua that Tager was in Kagutsuchi, she closed the clinic early, going to find the Red Devil by herself. She succeeded, and began asking if he was looking for Arakune, being happy when he answered no. She returned to the clinic late at night until she heard knocking at the clinic door – answering it, she found Bang with an amnesiac Ragna who was seriously injured. She sent Bang shopping for supplies and introduced Linhua to the Grim Reaper the following morning. She knew immediately who he was, and warned him that if he were to stray too far into public, he would be captured by the NOL. Tao suddenly appeared and offered to hide him the Kaka Village, so Litchi relented and allowed it, but only under the condition that she accompany him, leaving Linhua in charge of the clinic.

At the Kaka Village, Litchi further tended to Ragna’s wounds, and awoke some memories. She went to talk for the elder, allowing him some rest; later, she was playing with the kittens, and went outside to distract Noel when she heard from Bang that the NOL lieutenant was surveying the entrance. She was very nearly successful until Bang blew her cover by announcing that the Grim Reaper had ran away from the house he was in. She quickly ran towards the sewers where Ragna was heading, with both Bang and Noel hot on her tail. She found Arakune on the verge of being killed by the Grim Reaper, and stopped him, begging that he be spared – Noel was unconscious on the ground, and Litchi suggested, rather brutally, that Ragna kill her, or all their lives could be in danger.

Litchi tended to Noel when Ragna left, and was found by Tsubaki, who immediately demanded why her friend was in such a state. She stopped Bang from attacking the soldier and allowed Tsubaki to take Noel to the surface where she could be treated She later found Arakune and he attacked her, eventually relenting when he realised she channels the power of the Boundary. This attack revoked some of Litchi’s memories on how Arakune came to exist. She was later transported to Ikaruga by Nine the Phantom and told to defeat Izanami to claim her piece of the Azure

Because of Lao Jiu’s connection to the Boundary, Litchi was retrieving her memories more rapidly than others. She met Relius, and he stirred several memories before warning her that her body will deteriorate if she pursues Arakune. Litchi travelled to Akitsu and came to its cauldron, her memories now back to her. She realised that Arakune was merely a vessel created by Roy, and that his soul was still inside the Boundary – she planned on reactivating the cauldron to retrieve it but was stopped by Tager who reminded her of those who would mourn should she fail. Litchi stopped to consider her options. In a possibility created by Phenomenon Intervention, Litchi’s desire was devoured by Ragna.

Back in Kagutsuchi, Litchi searched for Arakune, determined to end it once and for all by saving Roy. Bang and Tao found her, and they travelled together through the sewers to find the monster, but once they did, his strength had increased massively. Tao briefly battled him, and Litchi stepped in to finish the job herself; Arakune began rapidly absorbing the seithr in the air, attempting to become a Black Beast, and swallowed her whole. Inside the Boundary, she met Roy’s soul and they were finally reunited. He refused to return, having obtained a position to research endlessly within the Boundary himself. As the Embryo entered the phase of deconstructing everything to seithr, he asked Litchi to return to Embryo and to kill Arakune, as that was his desire. Crying, Litchi resolved to complete his wish, but was knocked out by Bang, who killed Arakune instead, unwilling to let Litchi sully her hands murdering the man she loved. She soon dissolved into seithr, her data backed up by Es.

In the new world created by Ragna, Litchi, with Mai and Kajun, took Platinum to her clinic in Orient Town. The circumstances surrounding this are unknown, but it is presumed that Litchi took Platinum into her care, finally moving on in her life.
