Litchi is one of the original twelve playable characters who debuted in ''[[BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]]''.
==Appearance==
==Appearance==
[[File:BlazBlue Litchi Faye-Ling Model Sheet 01.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Litchi's battle outfit.]]
Litchi is a tall, houglass-shape Asian woman with purple eyes, black semi-rimless framed glasses, and very long black hair that is often in various updos all notably including her pet panda [[Lao Jiu]]. There are multiple jokes throughout the series at her expense about her large breasts.
Litchi has three main outfits she's seen in throughout the series. the first being what she wears in combat: A stylish red and gold dress with long black sleeves that's unbuttoned at her chest area, showing her black bra. Along with the dress she wears white and red heeled boots. The second outfit she is shown in is her doctor uniform, where she's wearing a red dress with white sleeves and a yin-yang brooch, along with white shoes with gold accents. Lastly while she worked at Sector Seven she wore a red dress a little bit similar to her combat dress with a white labcoat and at this time her glasses were red.


==Personality==
==Personality==
{{Quote|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.<ref name="bbcf-litchi-personality-jp"/><ref name="bbcpex-litchi"/>}}
Outwardly warm and caring towards any of her patients and friends. Litchi is honest and straightforward, getting straight to the points of subjects but has been known to teeter around one depending on its sensitivity. It is her affable personality that has led to her warm reception in Orient Town and [[Lost Town]], being one of the few humans who is openly loved by the [[Kaka]]. To this end, her willingness to help residents of both districts has made her a beloved figure who is admired by [[Linhua]] and [[Taokaka]] - Linhua's admiration is so strong that she wants to become a doctor like Litchi and has even begun growing her hair out to imitate her.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Library Mode, Character #031''</ref>
Underneath her maternal and kind figure, Litchi is haunted by her time in [[Sector Seven]] and her inability to save [[Lotte Carmine|Lotte "Roy" Carmine]] from his fall into the [[Boundary]]. For a long time, she was under the impression that he had become [[Arakune]], not knowing that the creature was preventing the man's soul from corrupting. To Litchi, Roy is the person who needs her help the most, which leads to her having a tunnel vision for him, abandoning her lucrative position at Sector Seven and chose to live in Kagutsuchi, a city known for its criminal activities, and also seeking out the [[Azure]] and [[Azure Grimoire]] in an attempt to do so.<ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Reconstruction, Part 1 - Starting Over''</ref> The wounds she tends to concerning the Kaka are mainly caused by Arakune's activity in the area, only making her guilt increase. Her attachment to Roy is heavily implied to be romantic; Litchi, however, is seemingly oblivious to the advances of [[Bang Shishigami]].
There is a darker side to Litchi, which mainly stems from her dedication to Roy. She willingly joined the [[Novus Orbis Librarium|NOL]] out of desperation to save Roy, due to [[Hazama]] claiming they have a way to do so, though she still retains her nurturing nature, where she openly shows dislike in working with them and objects to [[Relius Clover]]'s actions such as his treatment of [[Carl Clover]], while comforting Carl herself, and is very apologetic to the ones she has to fight. Litchi has a complicated relationship with Kokonoe, her former mentor, as the two do not sometimes see eye-to-eye; this is mainly because of Litchi's disdain with Kokonoe's hubris and questionable scientific ethic. Owing to her former profession as a scientist, Litchi is much smarter than she will often let others know, and is knowledgeable in the world around her, particularly [[seithr]] and theories surrounding it and the Boundary.
In her free time, Litchi plays mahjong, becoming something of a local legend as she remains undefeated by any Orient Town residents. This streak earned her the moniker "''Mahjong Empress''". After drinking too much alcohol, her favorite  being shochu liquor, Litchi's behaviour changes to become sleazy and perverted; she does not seem to drink much for this to happen.
==Powers & Techniques==
Though her professions as a doctor and scientist would suggest that Litchi is not suited for combat, she can hold her own in a fight. In battle, she switches between her fists and her staff, [[Mantenbo]]. Litchi's acrobatic ability is unmatched, being able to effortlessly somersault across a battlefield and jump onto Mantenbo while demonstrating exceptional balance and martial prowess. To keep up with other powerful entities and individuals, Litchi uses Lao Jiu to directly stream power from the Boundary, seemingly amplifying her [[Ars Magus]].
In gameplay, Litchi's [[Drive]] is '''{{h|Mantenbo}}''', which allows her to switch stances between using Mantenbo and her fists. Each has their own benefits with the staff stance giving her longer reach while her other stance gives her more combo potential and overall moves at the cost of shorter reach. When activated in her staff stance, Litchi plants Mantenbo in the ground, and activating it again will swing the staff as a weak projectile.


==Biography==
Outside of combat, Litchi is medically trained, being able to use both traditional medicine and Ars Magus, although she prefers administrating the former. Her knowledge on traditional herbal remedies and their usage helped with her acceptance into Sector Seven, and she is no stranger to the usage of [[alchemy]] as she was taught some of it by Roy.<ref>''[[Borderline]]''</ref> Litchi's most impressive scientific feat, however, is her [[Liquid Theory of Seithr|liquid theory of seithr]], a theory which could ultimately lead to the creation of a [[Black Beast]] or [[Nox Nyctores]]; this has been applauded by both Relius and Kokonoe, who see it as her magnum opus. In her quest to save Roy, Litchi became an [[Observer]], but her abilities as one are weak, meaning that she has to amplify her ability using both machinery and an [[Overdrive]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 7: Looming Darkness''</ref>
===Ikaruga Civil War===
====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. <ref>''BlazBlue Material Collection, Litchi Faye-Ling Short Story - Borderline''</ref>


===Variable Heart===
Ultimately, Litchi is not as strong as others in the cast, having lost to [[Makoto Nanaya]] and Bang in battle. By herself, Litchi was not able to qualify as one of the [[chosen]] and only managed to become one thanks to Lao Jiu, the latter of which is slowly killing her each time she chooses to employ the power of the Boundary. The more Litchi continues to use Lao Jiu's power, the closer she leans to becoming like Arakune.
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 Sasagae]], [[Bell]], and [[Shiori Kirihito]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 14''</ref> 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 [[Vampire|vampires]] off. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 15''</ref>


===Central Fiction===
==Official Profiles==
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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 002, Chapter 010, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> 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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 002, Chapter 011''</ref>

She herself also loves the town very much, so much that she forgets her own goals.<ref name="bbct-litchi-jp" />''


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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 018''</ref> 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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 19''</ref> 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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 020''</ref>

''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.<ref name="bbcs-litchi-jp" />''


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 <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 020, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> 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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 025, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> She was later transported to Ikaruga by [[Nine the Phantom]] and told to defeat Izanami to claim her piece of the Azure <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 005, Chapter 036''</ref>

Although she was once part of Sector Seven, in order to save her former colleague Arakune, she decided to collaborate with the NOL.

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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 041, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> 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. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 008, Chapter 062, Sub Scenario 2''</ref> In a possibility created by Phenomenon Intervention, Litchi’s desire was devoured by Ragna. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 076''</ref>

[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Litchi Faye-Ling Arcade 05.png|thumb|left|The final encounter with Roy]]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]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 080, Sub Scenario 2''</ref>

Trigger Shift

Doctor Litchi Faye-Ling (ライチ＝フェイ＝リン) 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. She is also the host of the Teach Me, Miss Litchi! miniseries in the main games.

Appearance

Litchi's battle outfit.

Litchi is a tall, houglass-shape Asian woman with purple eyes, black semi-rimless framed glasses, and very long black hair that is often in various updos all notably including her pet panda Lao Jiu. There are multiple jokes throughout the series at her expense about her large breasts.

Litchi has three main outfits she's seen in throughout the series. the first being what she wears in combat: A stylish red and gold dress with long black sleeves that's unbuttoned at her chest area, showing her black bra. Along with the dress she wears white and red heeled boots. The second outfit she is shown in is her doctor uniform, where she's wearing a red dress with white sleeves and a yin-yang brooch, along with white shoes with gold accents. Lastly while she worked at Sector Seven she wore a red dress a little bit similar to her combat dress with a white labcoat and at this time her glasses were red.

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.[1][2]

Outwardly warm and caring towards any of her patients and friends. Litchi is honest and straightforward, getting straight to the points of subjects but has been known to teeter around one depending on its sensitivity. It is her affable personality that has led to her warm reception in Orient Town and Lost Town, being one of the few humans who is openly loved by the Kaka. To this end, her willingness to help residents of both districts has made her a beloved figure who is admired by Linhua and Taokaka - Linhua's admiration is so strong that she wants to become a doctor like Litchi and has even begun growing her hair out to imitate her.[3]

Underneath her maternal and kind figure, Litchi is haunted by her time in Sector Seven and her inability to save Lotte "Roy" Carmine from his fall into the Boundary. For a long time, she was under the impression that he had become Arakune, not knowing that the creature was preventing the man's soul from corrupting. To Litchi, Roy is the person who needs her help the most, which leads to her having a tunnel vision for him, abandoning her lucrative position at Sector Seven and chose to live in Kagutsuchi, a city known for its criminal activities, and also seeking out the Azure and Azure Grimoire in an attempt to do so.[4] The wounds she tends to concerning the Kaka are mainly caused by Arakune's activity in the area, only making her guilt increase. Her attachment to Roy is heavily implied to be romantic; Litchi, however, is seemingly oblivious to the advances of Bang Shishigami.

There is a darker side to Litchi, which mainly stems from her dedication to Roy. She willingly joined the NOL out of desperation to save Roy, due to Hazama claiming they have a way to do so, though she still retains her nurturing nature, where she openly shows dislike in working with them and objects to Relius Clover's actions such as his treatment of Carl Clover, while comforting Carl herself, and is very apologetic to the ones she has to fight. Litchi has a complicated relationship with Kokonoe, her former mentor, as the two do not sometimes see eye-to-eye; this is mainly because of Litchi's disdain with Kokonoe's hubris and questionable scientific ethic. Owing to her former profession as a scientist, Litchi is much smarter than she will often let others know, and is knowledgeable in the world around her, particularly seithr and theories surrounding it and the Boundary.

In her free time, Litchi plays mahjong, becoming something of a local legend as she remains undefeated by any Orient Town residents. This streak earned her the moniker "Mahjong Empress". After drinking too much alcohol, her favorite being shochu liquor, Litchi's behaviour changes to become sleazy and perverted; she does not seem to drink much for this to happen.

Powers & Techniques

Though her professions as a doctor and scientist would suggest that Litchi is not suited for combat, she can hold her own in a fight. In battle, she switches between her fists and her staff, Mantenbo. Litchi's acrobatic ability is unmatched, being able to effortlessly somersault across a battlefield and jump onto Mantenbo while demonstrating exceptional balance and martial prowess. To keep up with other powerful entities and individuals, Litchi uses Lao Jiu to directly stream power from the Boundary, seemingly amplifying her Ars Magus.

In gameplay, Litchi's Drive is Mantenbo, which allows her to switch stances between using Mantenbo and her fists. Each has their own benefits with the staff stance giving her longer reach while her other stance gives her more combo potential and overall moves at the cost of shorter reach. When activated in her staff stance, Litchi plants Mantenbo in the ground, and activating it again will swing the staff as a weak projectile.

Outside of combat, Litchi is medically trained, being able to use both traditional medicine and Ars Magus, although she prefers administrating the former. Her knowledge on traditional herbal remedies and their usage helped with her acceptance into Sector Seven, and she is no stranger to the usage of alchemy as she was taught some of it by Roy.[5] Litchi's most impressive scientific feat, however, is her liquid theory of seithr, a theory which could ultimately lead to the creation of a Black Beast or Nox Nyctores; this has been applauded by both Relius and Kokonoe, who see it as her magnum opus. In her quest to save Roy, Litchi became an Observer, but her abilities as one are weak, meaning that she has to amplify her ability using both machinery and an Overdrive.[6]

Ultimately, Litchi is not as strong as others in the cast, having lost to Makoto Nanaya and Bang in battle. By herself, Litchi was not able to qualify as one of the chosen and only managed to become one thanks to Lao Jiu, the latter of which is slowly killing her each time she chooses to employ the power of the Boundary. The more Litchi continues to use Lao Jiu's power, the closer she leans to becoming like Arakune.
