Biography
Appearance Tian Yan is a young woman who is dressed quite modestly, covered from neck to feet in long, warm clothing. As she is frail of health, it is likely to prevent herself from getting ill. She typically carries a neutral expression or a slight frown, as if in thought (which she usually is). When she steps out of Lieshan Hall, she wears a long blue cloak over her white robes. After she sheds her disguise once the truth about her association with Net Trap is revealed, she is shown to be wearing a skin-tight dress underneath her robes. Personality Known for her intellect, Tian Yan is a highly reasoning person who can quickly deduce and uncover other people's plans, as well as holes in people's logic. Her reasoning is even capable of convincing her hot-tempered uncle that her father's murderer came from outside of the Peasant School. However, she finds that she can do nothing to curb his ambition to become Xia Kui. Because she deduced that the entire civil war within the Peasant School was the machinations of an outside force, she does not desire the war, and seeks a way to end it peacefully. As a result of this position, she slowly garners Tian Hu's ire, while Han Xin calls her "the only sober person left in the Peasant School." Though she is a woman in the male-dominated Peasant School, she is unafraid to speak her mind even when she knows it will anger those she speaks to. She is also a determined woman who is willing to seek out her supposed enemies in order to make a truce to further her own goals. The true depth of her cunning is revealed in the finale of Season 5: all of the Peasant School's events, including the death of her own father and the resulting conflicts, were all her machinations. Some time before the start of the civil war, she joined the Net Trap in order to destroy the Peasant School, for unknown reasons. Synopsis Tian Yan makes her first appearance mourning the death of her father. However, as the person who prepared his body for burial, she notices something amiss with Tian Hu and Tian Zhong's belief that Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie assassinated her father at Zhu Jia's orders.

Advertisement Relationships Tian Hu Tian Yan has a somewhat rocky relationship with her uncle due to their clashing personalities and priorities. While he values her intellect and foresight, and cares for her as family, it is clear that it is at least partially motivated by his own ambition to become Xia Kui. Although her reasoning that Wei Zhuang, Ge Nie, and Zhu Jia are not the perpetrators of Tian Meng's death is enough to convince him, it does nothing to deter his plan to become Xia Kui and annihilate Zhu Jia. However, she and Tian Zhong are the only two people known to be able to curb his wrath, at least for a while. Eventually, due to the different perspectivesTian Yan won the 13th place in the character popularity vote with 316,037 votes, making her one of the 17 characters ranked higher than Jing Tianming, who won the 18th place with 30,645 votes. The early disguise of Jing Ni is based on a reused model of Qin Empire's soldier, albeit with claws added. Tian Yan is a character exclusive to the animated series and is not originated from the novel series. The name of Tian Mi (田蜜) and Tian Yan (田言) are both derived from Chinese idiom "甜言蜜语", figuratively meaning flattering, which forshadowing their status as traitors. Tian Yan was named after the phrase "誓言" (pinyin: Shi Yan), meaning oath and vow. Tian Yan's costume switch into her Jing Ni outfit once revealing her true nature is one of the most memorable and fan-favorite scenes in the entire series. Tian Yan's agriculrist outfit is a combination of two early concepts, one with the deep blue cloak (to establish her loft) and the other with furry cape (to mirror her faked sickness). Her coat was in darker hue in early design but was changed to white, presumably to fit her debut within her adoptive father's funeral (since the color white symbolizes death in Chinese culture). Tian Yan is a foil to her rival Tian Mi. While both of them are working for Zhao Gao as spies within the agriculrists, Tian Mi only tries to use her alliance as a step for her own glory and acts dramatic and flitarious. Tian Yan, on the other hand, acts more composed and more focused upon vengence, while taking her work under Net Trap and subsquently Qin Empire more seriously.
