Tiantian

Biodata

Background / History

Tiantian has accompanied Tang Xiaoling since she was little, and she considers him her best friend. Before she enters the Evil Spirit Amusement Park, her father, Tang Long, explicitly tells her to take Tiantian along because he will protect her in his place 2 17.

His seemingly ordinary status as a household pet conceals both Ghost Monarch cultivation and a privileged position within the Ghost Emperor’s household. Other Ghost Monarchs must show him deference because he protects Tang Xiaoling 40.

Appearance

Tiantian normally resembles a small yellow or ginger kitten with soft, fluffy fur 1 2 29.

• Eyes: Pupils narrow into vertical slits when he threatens an enemy; an emerald-green flash accompanies his control of Wu Qian 4 19.
• Enraged appearance: Protruding fangs, bristling fur, and a savage expression replace his usual adorable look 28.
• Animal sounds: Usually meows, but also growls and gives a soft bark when approaching Xiaoling 2 7 28.

Personality

Tiantian is affectionate and usually languid around Xiaoling, resting in her arms and responding to her questions with gentle cries. When she is distressed, he rubs against her cheek and licks away her tears. He reassures her rather than blaming her after she apologizes for offering him as collateral 2 20 28 29.

His treatment of threats is markedly harsher. He destroys a portrait spirit to intimidate the others, manipulates Wu Qian into breaking the stall’s rules, and threatens a massacre when Xiaoling is frightened. Nevertheless, he restrains himself because the Ghost Emperor has forbidden him to break the instance’s rules on his own initiative 19 25 28 29.

Tiantian takes his responsibility seriously. He believes that even ten thousand deaths would not atone for failing to protect Xiaoling, and later reproaches himself for letting her play all day without eating 29.

Mental Attacks and Compulsion

Tiantian can target a human’s mind without producing the same effect on nearby witnesses 4 19.

• Old Lady Zhao — Initially threatens Xiaoling, but becomes accommodating after recognizing Tiantian as Lord Sky Dog and receiving his warning 7.
