## History

### Childhood

As a Child, Li Tianxi originally had the ability to speak but became mute following a traumatic experience. Consequently, she frequently went to doctors with her mother in the hopes that they could cure her muteness.

At some point in her childhood, both her parents died on the same day following a violent domestic dispute, leaving her and her brother alone.

### Present

Since the start of her brother's partnership with Qian Jin, her brother had relied on Li Tianxi's special ability in tandem with his own to remotely control people, which allowed him to commit many acts of violence and homicide. While Li Tianchen was remotely controlling Chen Bin in an attempt to murder him, Li Tianxi caught a glimpse of Chen Bin's memories and emotions, causing her to break down. She then broke free from her brother's control and fled.

After a failed attempt to catch up to Li Tianxi, Li Tianchen impersonated his sister in a bid to capture Cheng Xiaoshi, however leading to the unintended capture of Lu Guang. This incident resulted in an arrest warrant for Li Tianxi, who was wrongly identified due to the disguise. The police were able to quickly find Li Tianxi in an abandoned grocery store, only to soon realize that she was not the one responsible for the incident, as their aggressive interrogations left the mute girl in severe distress. While further attempts made by the police to obtain more intel from Li Tianxi were ineffective, Qiao Ling volunteered to attempt, and was able to successfully communicate with her via drawing. Through her drawings, Li Tianxi provided Qiao Ling crucial insights into how hers and her brother's remote control ability functioned.

Soon after, the police received a message from Li Tianchen, who demanded a hostage exchange to be made in the next 35 minutes, trading Lu Guang for their original target, Cheng Xiaoshi. While Cheng Xiaoshi was able to escape the exchange using his ability, this was anticipated by Qian Jin. He, along with Li Tianxi, who was brought along for her telepathic ability, were captured by Xiao Ma who was stationed nearby on Qian Jin's orders.

Xiao Ma brought them down to some underground tunnels to meet Qian Jin and Li Tianchen. While Li Tianchen was surprised to see his sister there, Qian Jin was greatly displeased by her betrayal. During this meeting, Xiao Ma was shot by Qian Jin for "knowing too much". However, the shot was not fatal, and the enraged Xiao Ma was able to catch Qian Jin by surprise, disarming him and chasing him further down the tunnels, while also alerting Lu Guang, Qiao Ling and Xiao Li to their location. Meanwhile, Li Tianxi attempted to intervene in the fight between Li Tianchen and Cheng Xiaoshi, however to no avail as Li Tianchen expressed his disappointment in Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang's failure to take any action to change their tragic past, and declared that he was going to change their fate himself. At this moment, Lu Guang had arrived at the scene with Qiao Ling, but was quickly tased and restrained by Li Tianchen.

As Li Tianchen pressed on Lu Guang's stab wound and threatened Cheng Xiaoshi, Li Tianxi, who was unable to bear the situation, called out to her brother and spoke out the words "brother, I want to go home" accompanied by sign language, with tears flowing down her face. Jolted form the conflict, Li Tianchen recalled teaching the phrase to her sister while they were young, and broke into tears himself. However, she was then suddenly shot from behind by Qian Jin, who had managed to subdue Xiao Ma, and fell to the ground. While Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi engaged Qian Jin, Li Tianxi slowly muttered to her brother, "I am scared... I miss mother..." Officer Xiao then arrived on the scene, and Li Tianxi urged her brother to flee. Left outnumbered with no allies, Li Tianchen heeded her sister's words and fled in tears. Engaged in battle with Xiao Li, Qian Jin was eventually defeated. In her final moments, Li Tianxi muttered words of gratitude to Qiao Ling, and transferred her telepathic ability to her before passing away.

## Personality

Li Tianxi is shown to be a caring and somewhat anxious girl; she (while scared of her own twin brother) still cares for him despite his crimes and behaviour towards her and other people. While her mental age is that of a child's, she is still capable to understand what her brother is doing is wrong.

She's emotional and easily intimidated by shouting, the result of her depressing past. Due to being mute, she has a difficult time expressing her emotions. She often speaks unintelligibly. Her words came out slurred yet understandable to some degree. However, other communication methods still work, like when Qiao Ling told her stories through drawings.

## Abilities

### Telepathy

Li Tianxi has the ability to possess others by using a photo of them. When doing so, she can see what they are seeing in the present and gains access to their memories. However, she cannot control their actions and can only spectate them.  She also experiences what the person she's spectating is feeling physically and emotionally.

Her power can be used in tandem with Li Tianchen's ability. When Tianxi is spectating someone through a photo, Tianchen can use his powers to control her use her power to indirectly control the person she's spectating. In doing so, she is able to possess said person in the present remotely. When this happens, Tianxi enters a trance state and isn't aware of what Tianchen is doing, but it is implied that she can occasionally catch a glimpse of his actions subconsciously.

## Relationships

### Li Tianchen

Li Tianchen is her twin brother. Growing up, Tianchen always felt the need to protect Tianxi from danger. They held a close bond. Tianchen even learned sign language to teach her how to communicate despite her disability.

After the tragic events of their past, this changed. Her brother turned cruel and deranged. He committed multiple homicides, even using Tianxi's ability to manipulate the consciousness of others. Tianxi disapproves of her brother's actions. Despite that, they both care for each other. Tianchen joins Qian Jin in his hunt for Cheng Xiaoshi to use his ability: Time traveling. He hoped this would save him and his sister from their current state. However, the process and results harmed Tianxi more than it helped her.

### Qian Jin

Qian Jin adopted and raised Li Tianxi and her brother following their parents' deaths. The two worked for him, with Tianchen helping Qian Jin murder his targets and Tianxi being an unknowing accomplice through her powers. However, after aiding in the murder of Chen Bin, Li Tianxi ran away and eventually ended up helping Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang, and Qiao Ling to stop Qian Jin's plans, an act that Qian Jin saw as a betrayal.
