Tiáopí Liú

**Tiáopí Liú**, or just called **Tiá**, is one of the residents of Ariamis and a childhood friend of Lumi and Lixue Vermon.

## Personality

Tiáopí has a fun-loving, childish, innocent personality. Despite his cheerful nature, Tiáopí is strong and determined and really wants to make his friends happy. Tiáopí is also quite intelligent and can sense when evil is lurking. However, he often speaks to others, even if they're his friends, in a condescending manner, riling them up, and is often unbearable to some. Whether it's through his fluent use of slang or clever use of baby talk, his mockery knows no bound. Tiáopí often teases Xiao, claimed he was taller than Xiao, talking about her small chest, and saying "That must be frustrating. How Frustrating for you.".

If he is touched, he changes to a radically different personality, which is more delinquent-like, violent, and actually his second personality. That personality is highly aggressive, as he attacks whoever is in his surroundings, or barely dislike anything from, insulting them and talking to them in a blunt and ever rude manner.

## Background

As a child, Tiáopí was very close to his father, even stating that when he grew up he hoped to still be by his side. Because of this, a priestess who visited his house often, became jealous of him to the point that she yelled at Tiáopí for saying that instead of his father getting married or staying alone and lonely, he would rather marry his father. Later that night, after refusing to eat dinner with the priestess, Tiáopí's father asked him to get along with her and claimed that whenever he put his hand on Tiáopí's head, he knew what Tiáopí was thinking.

A couple of days later, the priestess asked Tiáopí to play hide and seek, saying that whoever was found by Tiáopí's father would be the loser. Tiáopí hid in a locker while the priestess hid beside a folded cardboard box in the open, naturally being found instantly. Tiáopí observed this and was planning to get out of the locker but then witnessed his father and the priestess becoming intimate in a chair. This caused him to get aroused and touch himself. Once the two stopped and Tiáopí's father left the room, the priestess told Tiáopí that he could never do anything like that with his father, no matter how much Tiáopí loves him, because he was a boy. After not getting a reply, the priestess opened the locker to see Tiáopí with his pants down crying. The priestess commented that what Tiáopí was doing was disgusting before Tiáopí ran out of the shrine in the rain.

Once home, Tiáopí washed his hands vigorously. When his father arrived home, Tiáopí ignored him and pretended to be asleep. After that, against Tiáopí's liking he often remembered that day and after touching himself he would immediately wash his hands afterwards. Because of this, he began to put some distance between himself and his father. One day while walking with his dad, Tiáopí's father said that it would be great if Tiáopí had a mother. After Tiáopí stated he did not want one, he started crying because he loved him and felt guilty for upsetting him. His father, seeing this, tried to comfort him by patting Tiáopí's head. Tiáopí remembered his father's words and slapped his hand away, telling him not to touch him and that it was disgusting.
