Tushan Yaya

* red
* blue

Tushan Yaya is a deuteragonist in the Fox Spirit Matchmaker series. She is a nine-tailed fox, Queen of Tushan, and Leader of the Spirit Union. After her sister Tushan Honghong used up her spirit power and morphed into Susu, Yaya became the most powerful Fox Spirit in Tushan.

Although she appears arrogant and indifferent, she is very proud and looked up to her older sister Honghong as an idol. By contrast, Yaya is relatively disappointed at her extremely weak youngest sister, Tushan Susu, as Susu does not quite live up to Honghong's strength. Yaya really misses Honghong and tries to get Susu to transform back into Honghong.

She is extremely calm and cool, often alluring other men with her charms, but at the same time frightening them with her raw ice magic power.

She really wants Bai Yuechu and Susu to get married, almost having a fetish for seeing them kiss or married. Yaya says that it is her duty as well as that of Tushan's to get them wed.

## Appearance

Tushan Yaya is a female Fox Spirit who despite being hundreds of years old has a youthful appearance, and is considered a very beautiful woman. Yaya has a voluptuous figure with large breasts and is very tall. She has light skin, maroon eyes (which sometimes turn red when intimidating someone or expressing anger) and dark brown hair. She wears a red and white robe, a large white scarf that encircles her upper body, and high heels.

Later on around the start of Arc 4, she changes outfit and wears blue instead--as 500 years ago Honghong told her that red did not suit her.

As a child Yaya wore red and white clothes with no sleeves. As an adult, she wears the similar outfit but with a furry collar and a big scarf. After meeting Tushan Honghong once more, and taking her words into account, she changes to blue clothes, though the design remains the same. She also carries a huge gourd known as the Endless Gourd around with her, which greatly increases her power after drinking from it.

## Personality

### Childhood

Yaya used to be quite rude and childish. She often found most things boring and could take naps that could last for more than ten days. She hated having people tell her to not adopt her sister's character and fighting style, as it did not suit her. Although she seemed very self-centered, she was actually quite relaxed but just preferred to do whatever she wanted to do.

### Adult

Yaya has matured greatly and now has a commanding attitude. When people do not comply with her wishes, she intimidates them into doing so. She is rather stoic and fearless, and only expresses emotion when annoyed or angry, in danger or when she meets her sister, Honghong. She prefers to use her sister's methods when doing things, such as never using her mouth to speak and instead using Tushan's Thousand-Mile Communication.

## History

### 500+ years ago: Honghong and Dongfang Yuechu

She grew up alongside Honghong and Dongfang Yuechu. When Dongfang leaves, she feels that he betrayed her and Tushan. When Dongfang returns to have a staged battle with Honghong, Yaya feels even more enraged at him. She challenges him to a duel, but since Dongfang back then overpowered her, they settle on a drinking game. Drunk, the two sit underneath the night sky, while the hiccuping Yaya questions Dongfang why he left, calling him numerous expletives (like 混蛋).

However, after Dongfang makes a Heart Oath with Honghong, fights Heihu Queen, and disappears, Yaya realizes that Dongfang went away and traveled the world to realize Honghong's dream to reunite humans and yaoguai. Yaya along with others like the Yiqidao League also realize that Heihu Queen was the true enemy that sought to keep humans and yaoguai apart, while using Dongfang's Xukong Zhilei to rule the world.

After Dongfang passes away, Yaya begins to feel an obligation to get Dongfang's reincarnations married to Susu, so that the two can reincarnate into Dongfang and Honghong and stop Heihu Queen.

### Luolan and Pingqiu

She once saved Luolan and Pingqiu Yuechu from Nanguo Xiao Wangye and Kumu Yaoxian. She was unable to convince Pingqiu (Dongfang's first incarnation) to marry Susu and was about to kill him until Rongrong stopped her and said that Pingqiu may now be a different soul from Dongfang. She then lets Pingqiu go and tries again with Dongfang's future incarnations.

Later on, she meets Luolan once again. This time, Luolan is controlling Bai Yuechu like a puppet. Yaya is able to scare Luolan away with her ice magic (Season 2).

### 300 years ago: Yan Ruyu

Yaya once barged into Huntian Prison, searching for a Shadow Fox that was trying to possess Yan Ruyu. She is about to kill Yan but Rongrong tells her not to as Yan was Rongrong's only student.

### Present

Sometime ago, she and Rongrong find and raise Tushan Meimei (Zuoshi). Meimei was enchanted by Yaya, but never got her attention as she was always busy with Susu. He then left Tushan to join the Heihu Queen. Zuoshi returned to Tushan, launching an invasion. The Battle of Tushan follows. Yaya is able to freeze Shi Kuan, the Northern Emperor.

After helping defend Tushan, Yaya tries to force Susu to marry Bai, but both refuse, and Susu flees from the wedding. Yaya then gets really pissed, but Bai stops her from going after Susu. After waiting for more than 500 years just to see them married, she gives in and says 'boring' (无聊). At some time, she teaches Bai and Susu about Tushan's true enemies, the Shadow Foxes.

## Abilities

Tushan Yaya, by practicing austerity, has developed formidable magic, so much that that when others catch sight of her, they run away as her power is off the charts. She generally does not need both hands to perform magic arts, but when dealing with Bai Yuechu's Pure Yang Flame and Tears of the Void, she must use both hands.

### **Nine tailed Fox**

Yaya is able to transform into a 9 tailed heavenly fox (九尾天狐). After drinking wine, she summoned one tail on herself, during her fight with Bai Yuechu, which greatly enhanced her power. Later in this battle, she summoned all nine of her tails and in this form can unleash her full power.

### **Ice Magic**

Yaya has practiced ice magic (冰系法术) for her entire life. After the disappearance of Honghong, Yaya refined her ice magic, and eventually achieved the highest level of ice spells: Absolute Zero meaning the coldest temperature. She has used this spell before to freeze Bai Yuechu's Tears of the Void, which was thought to be impossible. Never before has a demon refined ice magic to such a level.

### **Endless Gourd**

When Yaya drinks wine from the Endless Gourd, her power greatly increases. Rongrong once said that once her sister drinks wine, no one can stop her. The Endless Gourd can refill anytime.

### **Magic Search**

Yaya can use magic search (妖气搜索) to find targets across long distances. She used this to find Luolan in Tushan.

### **Heavenly Magnification**

This spell (法相天地) can make one grow to at least ten times their size for a limited amount of time. Yaya has used this before when trying to stop to Gold Fire God and gave everyone a chance to recover.

### **Pure Yang Flame**

Although able to use Pure Yang Flame, which she learned from Dongfang Yuechu, she prefers not to. She uses it to melt the ice trapping Bai and force him to kiss Susu so that Honghong could reappear. (Season 2)
