Personality
Litchi is a kind, intelligent woman who exudes confidence and sophistication: at first glance, she is what many would consider to be the 'ideal' woman, if such a person could exist. Moreover, especially to those she is unfamiliar with, Litchi rarely shows any irritation or anger outwardly---instead, she usually hides her true feelings behind a polite smile or, at worst, behind some light teasing. Although her affable nature and stunning figure have netted her many acquaintances and admirers over the years, Litchi usually keeps a friendly distance from others.
Joining LAW has given her the opportunity to shed some of her image and show her true self to the world---in more ways than one. She no longer pretends to be shy about her body and now embraces her more sensual side. Furthermore, whereas Litchi limited her teasing before, she now openly teases others. Despite these changes, Litchi is still largely the same person as she was before joining LAW, albeit less inhibited.
Secret
Throughout her life, a great source of frustration for Litchi was others' inabilities to see through her outward appearances. Oftentimes, people would view her as as a mere pretty face (or body) and fail to see her as a person. Other times, people would become enamored with her kind, seemingly gentle nature and begin to idealize her. This greatly bothered Litchi as she knew that there was a lot more to her than her kind demeanor and stunning figure: she is, after all, a plasma physicist with a PhD from a well-respected university, a martial artist, and a skilled mahjong player! And just like anyone else, she has her fair share of personality flaws as well, even though she generally hides them.
The consistent failure of others to look past Litchi's outward appearances created within Litchi a desire to show the world who she really is. At the same time, despite having a desire to show her true self to others, years of being idealized and labeled by others have made her somewhat guarded, unsure of what others' intentions are or what image they have of her in their mind. Thankfully, Litchi finally has a venue for showing her true self to the world: LAW.

Flaws
Litchi can be short-sighted when it comes to her goals. For instance, during her PhD program, she picked an advisor based solely on his academic credentials and area of research without bothering to investigate him as a person. Even after it became clear what kind of person her advisor was, Litchi stayed with that advisor for longer than she should have because she felt like switching advisors would hurt her academically. Moreover, Litchi is not above harboring ill-feelings/grudges. She still feels resentment towards her PhD institution for failing to adequately punish her advisor for his behavior.
Additionally, despite her outward demeanor, Litchi is not necessarily a confident woman. Due to various events in her past, she does have some self-doubt and still beats herself up over some of her past mistakes. Furthermore, while Litchi is a lot better about this nowadays, in the past Litchi had been particularly sensitive about people insulting her intelligence. This was due to people underestimating her and/or dismissing her due to her looks. All-in-all, Litchi knows that she is extremely capable but still harbors some doubts.
It can also be noted that Litchi can be quite venomous when angry or upset. When in this state, Litchi's words become extremely acerbic, and Litchi rarely holds back when cutting into people verbally. If Litchi happens to be in the ring while she is angered, Litchi may engage in "heelish" behavior towards her opponents: humiliation and painful submission holds are a possibility in these situations. However, this side of Litchi will seldom come out as there are not too many things that would anger Litchi to this extent. Furthermore, Litchi tends to avoid showing irritation with people whom she does not know (unless she is in the ring with them).

How to piss off Litchi
Litchi dislikes being treated like nothing more than a "walking pair of boobs". While Litchi is not ashamed of her sexuality, it greatly irritates her when others see her as nothing more than a sexual object. For Litchi, being treated in such a manner brings back unpleasant memories of being dismissed and/or harassed due to her breasts. If an opponent were to harp on Litchi's breasts and repeatedly throw sexualized insults at her, it is very likely that Litchi would become quite irritated.
NOTE:
Litchi is not particularly bothered by the fans objectifying her as she realizes that such is normal in her line of work (i.e. being a LAW hentai wrestler).

Moves
Signature Moves
Spinning hook kick/wheel kick
Description:
A powerful spinning attack that can knock an opponent out, especially when it lands cleanly. Due to its potential to cause damage, Litchi will only use this move against a tough opponent. If Litchi successfully stuns or knocks her opponent out, she can capitalize on her opponent's unconsciousness to set up a submission or hentai hold.
Spinning back kick
Description:
A spinning kick to the body designed to debilitate an opponent. Ideally, it will cause an opponent to crumple to the mat.
Rolling thunder kick
Description:
An extremely flashy and (ideally) unexpected kick. This kick can be difficult to land but is capable of causing a lot of damage when it does land. Litchi does not rely on this kick too much as overusing it will make it predictable. However, she will occasionally throw this kick to catch her opponent off-guard.
Finishing Moves
Huāplata
Description:
A reverse omoplata with hentai elements. This move serves as both a regular submission and a hentai attack. The name "Huāplata" comes from the "-plata" in omoplata and the Mandarin word for flower, "huā"---the flower aspect is an allusion to the fact that Litchi plays with her opponent's "flower" when performing this move.
Chinese Booby Trap
Description:
Litchi grapevines her opponent's legs, making it difficult to escape. Then, Litchi smothers her opponent with her breasts, possibly while jokingly saying "This is why they call me the 'Boobie Lady'."
The Great Spread of China: Three Generations of Shame!
Description:
Litchi puts her opponent into a hold that leaves them exposed. From there, Litchi has a number of options. One option is to make subtle adjustments to maximize her opponent's humiliation and exposure. Alternatively, Litchi can also begin fingering her opponent of fondling her opponent's breasts. Finally, while this move is not primarily meant to be painful, Litchi can also add some pain into the mix. It should be noted however that due to this move being difficult to set up and execute, Litchi will typically only be able to pull this move off against an opponent who is either incapacitated or significantly weaker/less-skilled than Litchi.
Past
Summary
Litchi was born in Shanghai, China but moved to America at a young age. Throughout her life, the first thing that many people noticed about Litchi was how large her "assets" were. Wishing to make a living off of her "assets", Litchi decided to join LAW and become a hentai wrestler."It's the Boobie Lady!"
- Tao Ling, giving a "concise" summary of Litchi's relevant past
Complete (Secret)
Born in Shanghai to a scientist and an engineer, Faye had a relatively comfortable early life. From an early age, Faye's sharp mind was apparent, resulting in her parents hiring a private tutor to teach the young Faye. Faye ended up progressing quickly, managing to get several years ahead in her studies. However, when Faye was seven years old, her parents died in a car accident. This resulted in Faye being sent to live with her aunt who had immigrated to America with her husband a number of years prior. Similarly to Faye's parents, Faye's new caretakers were relatively well-off and were solidly upper-middle class.
Upon arriving in America, Faye started attending a relatively-affluent private K-8 (kindergarten to 8th grade) school. During her first year, she made meteoric progress in her English skills and performed extremely well in math, despite still coping with the loss of her parents. The summer after that first year, Faye began showing interest in skipping grades as she felt that her current studies were too easy (apart from English which she still occasionally had trouble with). Not wanting to hold Faye back, Faye's caretakers successfully petitioned the school to let Faye skip ahead three grades. That next school year, Faye was placed in sixth grade.
Initially, Faye had a difficult time fitting in. Physically, Faye was comparable to her peers as she had begun developing much earlier than most; however, Faye was clearly behind maturity-wise. As a result, Faye was forced to grow up quickly and adjust her behavior to match that of her peers---something that initially felt unnatural to Faye. In spite of the rough start, Faye was eventually accepted by her classmates as a social peer (although Faye outdid her classmates when it came to academics).
After graduating from middle school, Faye then went on to attend an elite college preparatory high school when she was only eleven. Being three years younger than her peers made Faye extremely self-conscious, resulting in her generally keeping to herself at first. Additionally, around this time, Faye began receiving a lot of unwanted attention from others due to her already having developed a sizable bust. This unwanted attention caused her anxiety as she did not know how to deal with the attention she was receiving---even worse, Faye began experiencing some physical harassment as well: on one occasion, a couple of Faye's classmates decided to make a game out of trying to throw Skittles down her shirt.
Afraid that she could experience even worse harassment in the future, Faye looked into taking martial arts to learn how to defend herself. As luck would have it, there was a martial arts place offering Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) classes. Faye immediately signed up and began taking Sanda classes; shortly thereafter, Faye also began taking classes in other martial arts, most notably Taekwondo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ). Taking martial arts ended up being a huge boost to Faye's confidence and she became much more social. Additionally, Faye also joined the gymnastics team during her freshman year as well.
Faye eventually became quite well-liked and admired at her high school. She became known for her kind, confident personality and stellar academic performance (she did not openly advertise her martial arts training, however). Internally, however, Faye still felt mildly self-conscious about her large breasts and the fact that she was generally three to four years younger than her peers. To remedy this, Faye had tried her best to fit in with her peers, making sure to keep her flaws hidden and maintain a good image---although she never tried to change her personality outright and act like someone she was not.
Ultimately, despite her fair number of extracurricular activities limiting the time that she had to study, Faye still managed to graduate near the top of her class, and went on to study mathematics and physics at a prestigious university at the age of fifteen. Since Faye had taken so many advanced classes, she was essentially able to skip the first year of undergraduate education. Apart from the fact that Faye was the president of the martial arts club at her school and graduated in three years with a 4.0 GPA, nothing particularly noteworthy occurred during this time in Faye's life.
Immediately after finishing her undergraduate degree, Faye went on to enter a PhD program in physics at a different prestigious university. Because Faye had a strong interest in plasma physics (particularly magnetohydrodynamics), she decided to attend a different institution, one that was more active in plasma physics research than her undergraduate institution. Faye's first year of her PhD program went extremely well with Faye quickly adjusting to her new environment. Unfortunately, Faye chose her advisor purely based on his area of research and academic credentials (he was one of the world's leading experts in his area) without bothering to investigate him as a person---had Faye not been so myopically focused on her research, she would have heard various negative stories about her advisor.
WARNING: After this point, this backstory begins touching on some sensitive subjects. Reader discretion is advised.
Soon after Faye had decided on her research project and had begun working on it, her advisor began regularly making inappropriate comments about Faye, particularly about her large breasts. This bothered Faye a lot but Faye did her best to ignore the comments: she had already started on her research and her advisor was the only one at the university who specialized in Faye's research topic. Not wanting to start all over again, Faye stuck with her advisor. As time went on, the harassment only got worse as Faye began receiving unwanted touches on her shoulders and back from her advisor. However, despite her advisor's inappropriate behavior, Faye kept silent. While Faye was not particularly afraid of her advisor or of administration, she felt like speaking up would jeopardize her work and that she just needed to put up with her advisor for long enough to graduate.
Anxious over her advisor's behavior and burnt out over her research (partly because it reminded her about her advisor), Faye would simply go through the motions for the rest of her second year. Although her progress was satisfactory, Faye no longer found any joy in her studies and was simply trying to finish. Additionally, Faye's peers would also occasionally make inappropriate remarks to her (although not quite on the same level as those made by her advisor). Regardless of her difficulties, however, quitting the program was never an option in Faye's mind: she would see it through to the end, no matter what.
However, at the beginning of Faye's third year, her situation got a little brighter after she met a fellow doctoral student by the name Lotte "Roy" Carmine. Because Roy was researching adaptive control systems for the magnetic confinement of plasma in tokamak fusion reactors, he needed some help from a plasma physicist to help model the behavior of plasma. Faye happened to be nearby when Roy was asking around, looking for a plasma physicist to talk to. This resulted in the two of them meeting and striking up a conversation.
While Faye and Roy's relationship was initially purely academic, the two quick quickly become very close. Faye would sometimes help Roy out with his research, helping him to come up with plant models and even helping him with figure out part of a Lyapunov stability proof at one point (Roy had been trying to prove that his adaptive control system would be Lyapunov stable). On the flip-side, Roy was one of the few people that Faye felt comfortable confiding in and letting her guard down around. Eventually, their relationship became romantic with the two of them even discussing the possibility of getting married after they graduated (although both of them knew that such talks were premature as they had only known each other for less than a year at that point).
Unfortunately, while Faye's romantic life was progressing well, the harassment from her PhD advisor had only gotten worse. For instance, Faye's advisor made it a habit to "accidentally" brush his groin against Faye's buttocks or rub his shoulder/upper arm across Faye's breasts when walking past her. Although Faye tried her best to avoid her advisor whenever she could, she could not avoid him entirely as he was still her advisor. Eventually, Faye's advisor tried to grab her buttocks, which prompted Faye to put her advisor in a wristlock and tell him off, making it abundantly clear that she would fight back if he tried anything like that again. After that, the sexual harassment stopped.
However, despite stopping his harassment, Faye's advisor still made life difficult for Faye. In retaliation for Faye's resistance, Faye's advisor stopped devoting time to Faye. It became extremely difficult for Faye to even get a meeting with her advisor and when meetings did happen, they would only be for about ten minutes. Whenever Faye would send research paper drafts to her advisor to look over, he would either get it back to her at the last minute (i.e. the day the submission was due) or after the due date. Moreover, Faye's advisor would do everything in his power to hinder Faye's progress and slow her down. Because Faye was too stubborn to quit or change advisors, this continued until the middle of Faye's fourth year---and by that time, Faye was still not anywhere close to being done with her degree.
Eventually, despite Faye's adamant refusal to tell anyone about the situation, Roy decided to talk to a professor in the physics department, Dr. Celica Konoe, about the situation (Roy already knew this professor from intramural sports). While Roy did not mention Faye specifically, the professor immediately figured out that the person in question was Faye: since Dr. Konoe had been hearing rumors about Faye's advisor for years and she knew that Faye was that person's advisee, it was not hard for Dr. Konoe to figure out who Roy was talking about. Then, shortly after talking to Roy, Dr. Konoe decided to talk to Faye about the situation. Unfortunately, Faye was quickly able to deduce that Roy had told Dr. Konoe about her situation, leading to a heated argument between Faye and Roy shortly thereafter in Roy's apartment. This resulted in Faye and Roy barely speaking at all for the next few weeks.
WARNING: This backstory gets even more dark and touches on even more sensitive subjects after this point. Reader discretion is advised.
During those few weeks, Faye's life was completely upended when "Student X", a second-year PhD student who shared the same advisor as Faye, committed suicide and wrote in her suicide note that she had been sexually-assaulted by her advisor towards the end of her first year. Following this development, Faye's advisor was promptly suspended and an investigation into him was opened (Faye herself was interviewed as part of that investigation; in that interview, she revealed all of the things that had happened between herself and her advisor). At this point, Faye realized that it was time to "jump ship" and find a new advisor: she ended up switching her advisor to Dr. Konoe, who despite not being an expert in the exact area that Faye was working in, still had some familiarity with the area and could advise Faye.
The night after switching her advisor, Faye decided to call Roy to apologize. She was still upset that Roy had gone behind her back to talk to Dr. Konoe but Faye also realized that Roy was only trying to help. Faye also began to realize that she should not have stuck with her advisor for as long as she did and that the people telling her to switch advisors (i.e. Roy, a few good acquaintances, and even Tao) were right. However, upon calling Roy, there was no answer.
Roy had died in a car accident. This news devastated Faye and she blamed herself for Roy's death. After her argument with Roy, Faye felt extremely guilty over the way she had acted. She was upset about the hurtful words she had said, her failure to listen to Roy's advice, and her insecurity. She viewed herself as a coward for not reaching out to Roy sooner to reconcile: she had avoided talking to Roy out of guilt. Faye felt guilty that she had not been there for Roy---perhaps if the two had reconciled, Faye could have taken care of Roy and advised him not to drive while sleep-deprived. Now, since Roy was dead, she had no way of making things right.
Faye's only solace was in the fact that Roy had not given up on her. The counseling center was nice enough to inform Faye that Roy had received relationship counseling, had forgiven Faye, and wanted to continue the relationship; while this was a breach of protocol, the counseling center figured that knowing that information could give Faye some closure. While Faye did receive some closure as a result of this knowledge, it was not much.
After Roy's death, Faye took the rest of the semester off. She remained in her apartment and mostly remained isolated (although Tao would occasionally come to visit). Moreover, she would constantly have to pass by the intersection where Roy died on her way to various places, which was a painful reminder of what had transpired and how she could have acted differently.
Eventually, Faye returned to finish her PhD. Thankfully, things went a lot more smoothly and Faye was able to finish her PhD. Furthermore, despite harboring resentment towards Roy's advisor for pushing him so hard, Faye helped complete the research papers that Roy had been working on (she was familiar with Roy's work so she was able to do this). Finally, after countless hours of work and a ton of suffering, Faye finally graduated with a PhD after five and a half years.
But by this point, Faye was sick of academia and academic work. Between the harassment she received, her being treated differently because she was a large-breasted attractive woman, her first advisor screwing her over, and Roy practically being worked to death, Faye did not want anything to do with academia. Furthermore, the whole situation made her dislike research, making her disinclined towards doing research for industry. The cherry on top of this fiasco was that Faye's first advisor only received a one-year suspension and three-year probation following the incidents with Faye and "Student X".
While there were plenty of places that would hire a physicist with a PhD, Faye was not sure she wanted to touch anything theoretical ever again. This left very few options for what Faye could do. After graduation, Faye spent a few months pondering what her next move would be. Eventually, Faye recalled a rather rude suggestion that a classmate had made to her. That classmate stated that Faye could "put her massive breasts to use and become a LAW hentai wrestler", and that it would be "hot to see [Faye] do sexual things with another woman". After remembering that, Faye then began to think: if she was going to be objectified either way, she might as well make some money doing so. Plus which, she would not have to maintain the appearance of being the "perfect woman" while in LAW as orgasming in front of a crowd and/or forcing another woman to orgasm conveys a completely different image. And Faye would get to grope cute/hot women, which was a definite plus. With that in mind, Faye decided to take on the name of "Litchi" and join LAW.
Upon arriving in America, Faye started attending a relatively-affluent private K-8 (kindergarten to 8th grade) school. During her first year, she made meteoric progress in her English skills and performed extremely well in math, despite still coping with the loss of her parents.

Side note: Faye and drinking
Faye did, however, discover that she could be quite perverted when drunk. She found this out when getting drunk in her dorm room with her roommate. As Faye become more intoxicated, she found herself becoming quite handsy with her roommate, groping her roommates breasts and rubbing her roommates stomach. Thankfully, Faye and her roommate were good friends so her roommate just laughed the incident off---Faye, on the other hand, was quite embarrassed about the situation and avoided her roommate for a couple of days after the incident (everything went back to normal afterwards though).

Side note: Faye's feelings and regrets
Due to Faye's martial arts training, she was confident that she would be able to defend herself against her advisor if he ever decided to sexually assault her. Because of this, she did not feel like she was in much danger when around her advisor. However, Faye was aware that not everyone had her training and that some of her fellow advisees might be at risk. To this day Faye still feels guilty about not doing more to try to stop her advisor and let others know of the situation.
However, at the beginning of Faye's third year, her situation got a little brighter after she met a fellow doctoral student by the name Lotte "Roy" Carmine. Because Roy was researching adaptive control systems for the magnetic confinement of plasma in tokamak fusion reactors, he needed some help from a plasma physicist to help model the behavior of plasma. Faye happened to be nearby when Roy was asking around, looking for a plasma physicist to talk to. This resulted in the two of them meeting and striking up a conversation.
Faye and Roy's meeting
Roy had been working hard to learn about plasma physics, particularly magnetohydrodynamics, for his research. However, having majored in electrical and mechanical engineering in undergrad, his background was not the best for plasma physics. Even though Roy had done well in his fluid dynamics and electromagnetism classes, magnetohydrodynamics was not an easy subject to learn. Granted, in spite of the difficulty he experienced, Roy was still making progress---just not as much as he would have liked. As a result, he began looking for a plasma physicist to help clarify certain points. Since the best place to look for plasma physicists was the physics department, the physics department was where Roy looked first.
Upon walking into the physics department area, the first person that Roy saw was Tao, a Chinese international student. Although Roy did not know many people in the physics department, he was aware of Tao: an eccentric Chinese girl who was a first-year PhD student and was only sixteen years old. "Not exactly the kind of person to escape notice," thought Roy as he approached Tao.
"Hi Tao, do you know where I can find a plasma physicist? Particularly one who's good at magnetohydrodynamics?" asked Roy casually. Despite not knowing Tao personally, Roy knew that Tao was a friendly person---somewhat odd, yes, but almost always willing to help. Without even looking at Roy directly, Tao replied.
"Hmmm... plasma physi---Oh! Boobie Lady! She's a plasma physicist!" exclaimed Tao excitedly. Then, without missing a beat, Tao returned to her work, leaving an awkward silence (awkward for Roy at least) in the air. Roy sighed, slightly amused as Tao seemed to have interpreted his question a little too literally.
"Can you show me where she is if she's nearby or tell me where she is if she's not nearby?"
"Sure thing!" said Tao as she jumped out of her seat and began walking to a nearby study room without even looking to see if Roy was following. Sighing once more in amusement, Roy began to follow Tao.
"So, Tao, what's 'Boobie Lady's' actual name?"
"Lín Fēi is her name! Kinda an uncommon name though as most Chinese given names are bisyllabic. If I don't call her 'Boobie Lady', I usually call her 'Litchi' since she's always eating lychee berries. You usually spell 'lychee' as L-Y-C-H-E-E but I prefer to spell it as 'L-I-T-C-H-I' because it looks cooler," spoke Tao rapidly. Between Tao's slight accent and rapid speaking, Roy did not catch everything that Tao had just said. Suddenly, a stern voice rang out from one of the study rooms.
"Tao! I told you not to call me 'Boobie Lady'!"
With disappointment in her voice, Tao responded "Aawww... but Boobi---Litchi! Everyone else calls you 'Boobie Lady'. It's what people notice first!" Suddenly, the door to the study room opened briskly and Faye stepped out of the room.
"I won't deny that but---HEY!" cried Faye as her breasts were suddenly grabbed by Tao. "Don't do that!" said Faye as she gently pushed Tao off.
"Awww... Miss Litchi... Can't I play with them?" whined Tao as she looked at Faye. Faye simply shook her head no. "Can I at least simulate them with finite element analysis?" asked Tao.
Faye let out a small laugh before saying "Alright, but you have to do all your homework first---even the 'easy' stuff."
"Awww... you're no fun," complained Tao as she slunk back to the area she was in before. Meanwhile, Roy simply stood there with a slightly amused look on his face.
"Now then... can I help you?" asked Faye to Roy.
"Yes. Do you have time to help with a magnetohydrodynamics problem?"
"May I ask what this is for?"
"Research. I'm trying to come up with a plant model for an adaptive control system."
"Hmmm... alright. I suppose I can help."
"Thanks Miss... Litchi?" Upon hearing Roy call her Litchi, Faye let out a giggle. Tao always seemed to create interesting and relatively innocuous misunderstandings when it came to Faye's name.
"I go by Faye, actually," said Faye in a friendly manner as she beckoned for Roy to enter the study room. Smiling, Roy went in after Faye.

Despite not knowing Tao personally, Roy knew that Tao was a friendly person---somewhat odd, yes, but almost always willing to help. Without even looking at Roy directly, Tao replied.
"Hmmm... plasma physi---Oh! Boobie Lady! She's a plasma physicist!" exclaimed Tao excitedly. Then, without missing a beat, Tao returned to her work, leaving an awkward silence (awkward for Roy at least) in the air. Roy sighed, slightly amused as Tao seemed to have interpreted his question a little too literally.
"Can you show me where she is if she's nearby or tell me where she is if she's not nearby?"
"Sure thing!" said Tao as she jumped out of her seat and began walking to a nearby study room without even looking to see if Roy was following. Sighing once more in amusement, Roy began to follow Tao.
"So, Tao, what's 'Boobie Lady's' actual name?"
"Lín Fēi is her name! Kinda an uncommon name though as most Chinese given names are bisyllabic. If I don't call her 'Boobie Lady', I usually call her 'Litchi' since she's always eating lychee berries. You usually spell 'lychee' as L-Y-C-H-E-E but I prefer to spell it as 'L-I-T-C-H-I' because it looks cooler," spoke Tao rapidly. Between Tao's slight accent and rapid speaking, Roy did not catch everything that Tao had just said. Suddenly, a stern voice rang out from one of the study rooms.
"Tao! I told you not to call me 'Boobie Lady'!"
With disappointment in her voice, Tao responded "Aawww... but Boobi---Litchi! Everyone else calls you 'Boobie Lady'. It's what people notice first!" Suddenly, the door to the study room opened briskly and Faye stepped out of the room.
"I won't deny that but---HEY!" cried Faye as her breasts were suddenly grabbed by Tao. "Don't do that!" said Faye as she gently pushed Tao off.
"Awww... Miss Litchi... Can't I play with them?" whined Tao as she looked at Faye. Faye simply shook her head no. "Can I at least simulate them with finite element analysis?" asked Tao.
Faye let out a small laugh before saying "Alright, but you have to do all your homework first---even the 'easy' stuff."
"Awww... you're no fun," complained Tao as she slunk back to the area she was in before. Meanwhile, Roy simply stood there with a slightly amused look on his face.
"Now then... can I help you?" asked Faye to Roy.
"Yes. Do you have time to help with a magnetohydrodynamics problem?"
"May I ask what this is for?"
"Research. I'm trying to come up with a plant model for an adaptive control system."
"Hmmm... alright. I suppose I can help."
"Thanks Miss... Litchi?" Upon hearing Roy call her Litchi, Faye let out a giggle. Tao always seemed to create interesting and relatively innocuous misunderstandings when it came to Faye's name.
"I go by Faye, actually," said Faye in a friendly manner as she beckoned for Roy to enter the study room. Smiling, Roy went in after Faye.
Faye and Tao's relationship
Despite Tao's eccentric nature and penchant for groping Faye's breasts, the two get along quite well, with Faye taking on a mentor role for Tao. Because they are both of Chinese descent and both entered their PhD programs at a young age (eighteen in Faye's case and sixteen in Tao's case), Faye felt an affinity for Tao. During Tao's first year, Faye found herself guiding Tao and keeping her on-track---while Tao had genius-level intellect, she was very unfocused. Thankfully, with the help of Faye, Tao figured out how to manage herself and eventually went on to graduate at the same time as Faye. Tao is now a successful theoretical physicist.
Unfortunately, while Faye's romantic life was progressing well, the harassment from her PhD advisor had only gotten worse. For instance, Faye's advisor made it a habit to "accidentally" brush his groin against Faye's buttocks or rub his shoulder/upper arm across Faye's breasts when walking past her. Although Faye tried her best to avoid her advisor whenever she could, she could not avoid him entirely as he was still her advisor. Eventually, Faye's advisor tried to grab her buttocks, which prompted Faye to put her advisor in a wristlock and tell him off, making it abundantly clear that she would fight back if he tried anything like that again. After that, the sexual harassment stopped.
However, despite stopping his harassment, Faye's advisor still made life difficult for Faye. In retaliation for Faye's resistance, Faye's advisor stopped devoting time to Faye. It became extremely difficult for Faye to even get a meeting with her advisor and when meetings did happen, they would only be for about ten minutes. Whenever Faye would send research paper drafts to her advisor to look over, he would either get it back to her at the last minute (i.e. the day the submission was due) or after the due date. Moreover, Faye's advisor would do everything in his power to hinder Faye's progress and slow her down. Because Faye was too stubborn to quit or change advisors, this continued until the middle of Faye's fourth year---and by that time, Faye was still not anywhere close to being done with her degree.
Eventually, despite Faye's adamant refusal to tell anyone about the situation, Roy decided to talk to a professor in the physics department, Dr. Celica Konoe, about the situation (Roy already knew this professor from intramural sports). While Roy did not mention Faye specifically, the professor immediately figured out that the person in question was Faye: since Dr. Konoe had been hearing rumors about Faye's advisor for years and she knew that Faye was that person's advisee, it was not hard for Dr. Konoe to figure out who Roy was talking about. Then, shortly after talking to Roy, Dr. Konoe decided to talk to Faye about the situation. Unfortunately, Faye was quickly able to deduce that Roy had told Dr. Konoe about her situation, leading to a heated argument between Faye and Roy shortly thereafter in Roy's apartment. This resulted in Faye and Roy barely speaking at all for the next few weeks.
WARNING: This backstory gets even more dark and touches on even more sensitive subjects after this point. Reader discretion is advised.
During those few weeks, Faye's life was completely upended when "Student X", a second-year PhD student who shared the same advisor as Faye, committed suicide and wrote in her suicide note that she had been sexually-assaulted by her advisor towards the end of her first year. Following this development, Faye's advisor was promptly suspended and an investigation into him was opened (Faye herself was interviewed as part of that investigation; in that interview, she revealed all of the things that had happened between herself and her advisor). At this point, Faye realized that it was time to "jump ship" and find a new advisor: she ended up switching her advisor to Dr. Konoe, who despite not being an expert in the exact area that Faye was working in, still had some familiarity with the area and could advise Faye.
The night after switching her advisor, Faye decided to call Roy to apologize. She was still upset that Roy had gone behind her back to talk to Dr. Konoe but Faye also realized that Roy was only trying to help. Faye also began to realize that she should not have stuck with her advisor for as long as she did and that the people telling her to switch advisors (i.e. Roy, a few good acquaintances, and even Tao) were right. However, upon calling Roy, there was no answer.
Roy
For the past few weeks, Roy had been under a tremendous amount of pressure. Not only had he had a big fight with Litchi but his research was also running into some trouble. As a result, Roy had been spending many late nights at the university working to get his research to work. On top of that, a couple research papers he was working on had deadlines which he had to meet, resulting in him pulling a couple of all-nighters to finish those papers and get them submitted. This resulted in Roy being dangerously sleep deprived as he had been averaging 2-3 hours of sleep each night for the past few weeks.
Eventually, Roy managed to make it through that nightmarish period of time: his work was finished, at least for the time being. And he had only been awake for around sixty hours---far from his record. Not only that but it was also only 8 p.m., meaning that he would be able to go home and have a proper night of sleep for the first time in weeks. As Roy was driving home, he thought about how he was going to call Faye the next day and apologize: neither of them were blameless in the argument and both of them were at fault. Roy would have reached out earlier but he had been under enormous pressure from his advisor to produce Between the constant pressure of academia, him not wanting to have a difficult conversation while being sleep deprived, and generally being nervous about reaching out to Faye again, Roy put off contacting Faye. Although Roy felt guilty about not reaching out to Faye earlier, his guilt made him resolve to be better in the future and to not put off dealing with relationship issues.
"Our first major fight..." said Roy out loud as he drove his car. "Does this mean the 'honeymoon period' is over?" Roy laughed at the thought before saying "I guess all good things come to an end." In truth, Roy was actually extremely nervous about his relationship. It greatly concerned Roy that both of them had avoided confronting the problem and working things out. It also did not help that both of them had said some extremely hurtful things to each other.
During the argument, Roy had called Faye "myopically obstinate" and "stubbornly self-destructive to the point of sheer idiocy" in regards to her stubborn refusal to change advisors. This outburst was the culmination of frustrations that had been brewing for a while now. In the past, Faye would often vent to Roy about her frustrations and Roy would offer his advice: Faye should ditch her advisor. However, Faye was not looking for advice---instead, she just wanted someone to listen to her. Faye also felt insulted whenever Roy would suggest that she switch advisors, taking it as an insult to her intelligence and decision-making capabilities. This led to Faye becoming irritated with Roy and Roy feeling like Faye was not taking his input seriously.
And just like before, the same pattern played out in Faye and Roy's final argument. This time, however, Roy's statements were more aggressive and Faye took Roy's statements as being insults to her directly, instead of being harsh criticisms of her behavior as Roy intended them to be. At the time, Faye took insults to her intelligence very poorly, regardless of whether they were real or perceived---and since Faye felt comfortable around Roy, her usual facade of pleasantness was not present. This led to Faye becoming visibly enraged and verbally lashing out at Roy.
After the argument, Roy had some doubts about whether he wanted the relationship to continue. However, he ultimately decided that he did want the relationship to continue and that he would try to get the relationship back on track---once he became less busy. While Roy had been extremely busy for the past few weeks, he did go into the school's counseling center to receive relationship counseling and had a single session. Roy was adamant about making his relationship with Faye work out.
As he was driving, Roy continued thinking about Faye for a while. Eventually, however, he started thinking about flopping into his bed and getting some sleep. Slowly, his eyes started to drift shut as his sleep deprivation caused him to fall asleep for a few seconds. Suddenly, the blare of a truck horn jolted Roy awake.
CRASH!
An instant later, Roy was dead. A large semi-truck went crashing into the driver-side door, killing Roy instantly and moderately-injuring the semi-truck driver. A few minutes after the crash, the EMTs were greeted with the sound of a ringing phone: Faye was trying to reach Roy.

The Argument
"Now you're insinuating that I'm an idiot?!" roared Faye, much louder than before. Roy was stunned: previously, the conversation had only been tense, not explosive.
"That's not what I fu---" yelled Roy in response before being abruptly cut off.
"You! Of all people! Treating me like an idiot like everyone else! A pair of tits with no brain!"
"Will you listen for onc---"
"I'm smarter than you will ever be! Seriously, you needed help with figuring out magnetohydrodynamics? It's just Navier Stokes and Maxwell! It's not that hard!" Roy simply sat there in shock over Faye's sudden outburst, unable to come up with a retort; after all, it was no secret that Faye was the smarter of the two. "And don't even get me started on that Lyapunov function! The answer was staring you right in the face! If you had any modicum of talent or creativity, you would have been able to see it!"
Faye knew she was being spiteful and that what she was saying was not correct. Even for her, someone who specialized in that field, magnetohydrodynamics was not a trivial subject---it was no surprise that a controls person would have at least some difficulty with the subject. Furthermore, the Lyapunov function was not particularly obvious to find. In that case, Faye had just been a fresh set of eyes who was able to see something that Roy had missed. Roy also knew that Faye's criticisms were not valid; at the same time though, they really hurt.
"Get out," hissed Roy. At this point, Roy was on the verge of tears---it was not blatant but Faye could see that he was. Faye's heart skipped a beat as she realized that she had went too far. For a brief moment, Faye's regret was visible on her face and Roy noticed it. However, Faye's face quickly grew stern again.
"Fine," said Faye with anger still in her voice as she turned around to leave.
"You really are a spiteful, insecure bitch," said Roy as Faye was exiting.
"Well, at least I'm not an id---" Suddenly, Faye stopped mid-sentence as she realized what she was about to say. "Nevermind. Bye!" screamed Faye as the door slammed shut. Immediately after the door slammed shut, Roy started silently crying as Faye walked back to her car feeling horrible and guilty about what had just transpired.
"That's not what I fu---" yelled Roy in response before being abruptly cut off.
"You! Of all people! Treating me like an idiot like everyone else! A pair of tits with no brain!"

Faye's only solace was in the fact that Roy had not given up on her. The counseling center was nice enough to inform Faye that Roy had received relationship counseling, had forgiven Faye, and wanted to continue the relationship; while this was a breach of protocol, the counseling center figured that knowing that information could give Faye some closure. While Faye did receive some closure as a result of this knowledge, it was not much.
After Roy's death, Faye took the rest of the semester off. She remained in her apartment and mostly remained isolated (although Tao would occasionally come to visit). Moreover, she would constantly have to pass by the intersection where Roy died on her way to various places, which was a painful reminder of what had transpired and how she could have acted differently.
Eventually, Faye returned to finish her PhD. Thankfully, things went a lot more smoothly and Faye was able to finish her PhD. Furthermore, despite harboring resentment towards Roy's advisor for pushing him so hard, Faye helped complete the research papers that Roy had been working on (she was familiar with Roy's work so she was able to do this). Finally, after countless hours of work and a ton of suffering, Faye finally graduated with a PhD after five and a half years.
But by this point, Faye was sick of academia and academic work. Between the harassment she received, her being treated differently because she was a large-breasted attractive woman, her first advisor screwing her over, and Roy practically being worked to death, Faye did not want anything to do with academia. Furthermore, the whole situation made her dislike research, making her disinclined towards doing research for industry. The cherry on top of this fiasco was that Faye's first advisor only received a one-year suspension and three-year probation following the incidents with Faye and "Student X".
While there were plenty of places that would hire a physicist with a PhD, Faye was not sure she wanted to touch anything theoretical ever again. This left very few options for what Faye could do. After graduation, Faye spent a few months pondering what her next move would be. Eventually, Faye recalled a rather rude suggestion that a classmate had made to her. That classmate stated that Faye could "put her massive breasts to use and become a LAW hentai wrestler", and that it would be "hot to see [Faye] do sexual things with another woman". After remembering that, Faye then began to think: if she was going to be objectified either way, she might as well make some money doing so. Plus which, she would not have to maintain the appearance of being the "perfect woman" while in LAW as orgasming in front of a crowd and/or forcing another woman to orgasm conveys a completely different image. And Faye would get to grope cute/hot women, which was a definite plus. With that in mind, Faye decided to take on the name of "Litchi" and join LAW.
