Background and History
Tang Ya’s parents were killed and the Tang Sect was seized, leaving her impoverished. She lived on an allowance while hoping to reclaim the sect’s holdings 2 28.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Ya and Bei Bei found Lin Fan standing near an unconscious Huo Yuhao. She accused Lin Fan of hurting Yuhao, then apologized when Yuhao explained that he had passed out after fighting a baboon 2.
Tang Ya needed a third Soul Ring and wanted the Mandala Snake Lin Fan had captured. Unable to pay his price of fifty Gold Soul Coins outright, she signed an interest-free agreement to repay him two coins per month. She killed the snake with a short blade he provided and became a Soul Elder after absorbing its ring 2 3. She then invited Lin Fan to travel with her, Bei Bei, and Yuhao to Shrek City 3 4.
Appearance
Tang Ya is a young woman with a youthful appearance 2.
- Long black hair tied in a ponytail 2
- Expressive eyes, delicate features, and fair skin 2
- A light-blue fitted outfit when first seen 2
Personality
Tang Ya acts quickly when she believes Yuhao is in danger, but acknowledges her mistake once she learns the truth 2. She is determined to restore the Tang Sect despite its limited membership, money, and strength 27 28.
She is enthusiastic about opportunities to improve her cultivation. Lin Fan’s accelerated training method delights her, and she asks to continue practicing with him 28 29. When Bei Bei accuses Lin Fan of trying to win her over, she rejects the warning and angrily orders Bei Bei away 29.
Relationships
- Lin Fan — Sold her the Mandala Snake on an interest-free repayment plan, then helped her cultivate. She wants him to join the Tang Sect, but he refuses while offering advice and help 3 27 28.
- Bei Bei — Travels with her and calls her “Teacher Xiaoya.” He questions her agreement with Lin Fan and later warns her against trusting him, causing an argument 2 3 29.
- Huo Yuhao — Calls her “Sister Tang” and “Teacher Xiaoya.” She checks on him after finding him unconscious and later works alongside him selling grilled fish 2 27.
Tang Sect Restoration
- Tang Ya plans to recruit members and reclaim the Tang Sect’s holdings. She says the sect has only three members and that she is raising what money she can 28.
- She seeks to recruit Lin Fan after seeing his strength, but he declines to join any sect 4 27.
- Lin Fan tells her that restoring the sect requires more strength and money. Their joint cultivation speeds her Soul Power growth to roughly four or five times its usual rate, giving her renewed hope of advancing 28 29.
