Her casual outfit consists of a green crop top with yellow sleeves, an orange jacket with yellow details on the front and near the shoulders, baggy blue pants, and black shoes with yellow stripes.
Personality[]
Tia has always had a secretive and independant personality and usually doesn't reveal her secrets to anyone except Rocket, who she immediately became open to and had a liking towards upon their first encounter, only growing in subsequent episodes until she and Rocket both expressed their feelings of love towards one another, thereby remaining a couple till the show's end. As the series went on, she became closer to her other teammates and also other characters like Kira and Norata ( Rocket's parents ). She was secretive in season one, but when she returned to the match against the Red Tigers, she bonded more with her teammates, and when the team accepted Rocket as the captain, she was more friendly with the Snow Kids. She can also be quite quiet and shy, but on the football pitch, you'd better watch out. She's also best friends with Mei and gets along with her fellow team-mates relatively well.
Tia is also a very kind person as shown when she creatively thinks of Rocket's sixteenth birthday present. However, she is also shown to be determined and refuses to let anything get in her way.
Tia also has skills learned from her governness Stella in the kitchen. This is seen when Tia takes over for the pirates' kitchen robot during the trip to rescue her parents. Arti and Sonny make sure she gets a much-needed rest and in return, Tia cooks the pirates a meal that Sonny says is possibly the best meal he's ever had onboard the Black Manta.
Tia is also a sharp observer and helps the situation during the rescue attempt of her parents by videotaping the codes needed to get into the system. When speaking to the team after her return from the pirates, she has nothing, but nice things to say about them. Tia is the only member of the team that the pirates willingly took onboard for a mission, and the second member of Snow Kids to take off with the pirates. Tia is calm and careful, but can also get angry fast, and while this means she is happier to allow D'Jok, Micro-Ice and Rocket to take the majority of the goal-scoring, she still scores beautiful goals when the opportunity presents itself.
Skills[]
Tia is the very first person to use the Breath of Akilian in 15 years, as it was considered that it vanished during the Ice Explosion. This leads to the team depending on her during their early matches until other members developed the Breath. She is well-known for her famous « backflip-kick » and she has been seen using it in almost every match. She kicks the ball as high as she can, flies up until she reaches it's level, flips backwards and kicks it towards the goal. In the field, she knows how to deal one on one, she demonstrated defeating Rocket at the Sphere. She also has rather good tackling skills. She has great control over the Breath, probably because she was the first to master it. Also, when she gets angry or stressed, she goes straight for the goal and usually, the ball finds the target. Tia is probably one of the most skillful Galactik Football players, showing she is really at ease with a foot ball especially when she uses the Breath to do some amazing air-based football tricks and her skills were showed at the beginning of the series. Tia is also one of the only three aside Ahito and Rocket to receive enhanced training in controlling and mastering the breath by Dame Simbai, another testament to her maturity and skill in the use of the flux.
Relationship with Rocket[]
Season 1: Rocket and Tia first met under unusual circumstances - Tia, whose ship had been in an accident, was noticed by Rocket. Rocket saved Tie from danger and took her to his cave to make sure she was okay. Tia, who had come from Planet Obia to Akillian to take part in Aarch's recruitment, convinced Rocket to go with her, and he agreed. Tia easily made the team, while Rocket was taken home by his father and Aarch's brother, Norata. Eventually, Rocket joined the team, and Tia immediately became his closest person. She was the first to learn that Rocket was Aarch's relative, and it was she who, risking her health and even her life, went in search of him during a snowstorm when Rocket escaped after revealing his secret. They were both in love with each other, but they were so shy that they were afraid to confess their feelings. Before leaving for Genesis, Tia decided to take the initiative and, with Mei's help, impressed Rocket by wearing a dress and earning Rocket's admiration. While on Genesis, Tia found Kira, Rocket's mother, who abandoned him when he was an infant. Initially, Rocket was outraged at Tia, but after a conversation with Aarch, who advised him to confess his feelings to Tia before it was too late, Rocket sneaked into Tia's room at night and kissed her. At the end of the first series, they became a couple.
Season 2: This series was a breakthrough for Rocket and Tia. After four years, they were still a happy couple. While walking in the Genesis forest, Tia at one point fell off the edge of a cliff. Without a second thought, Rocket ran to her rescue, using Breath, which was forbidden off the pitch. The partners tried to keep it secret, but the League authorities found out about the event. Rocket was suspended from Snow Kids, causing him to leave the team despite Tia's pleas for him to stay. Tia had no contact with her boyfriend for a long time, which broke her heart, but she continued her search for Rocket. She eventually found out that Rocket was playing a very dangerous form of soccer called netherball. Tia was horrified by the change in her beloved, but she continued to try to convince him to come back to the team. Rocket pushed her away and said he didn't want anything to do with her anymore, which hurt the girl deeply. Despite this, she still wanted Rocket back and to do so, she dueled him in Netherball. She won, although it cost her a painful injury. Only then did Rocket realize how much damage he had done to Tia, abandoned Netherball and returned to the team. Tia was still there for him and helped him get acclimated to Snow Kids.
Season 3:After the Netherball crisis, Tia and Rocket found peace in their relationship, but not for long. After arriving on Paradisia, Rocket contracted a disease called Resonance, a sequelae of Netherball. Tia was by her sick loved one's side, trying to ease his pain. When Lun Zia appeared on the team and began to show her interest in Rocket, Tia became jealous and arguments broke out between the partners. Eventually, Rocket managed to convince Tia that she was the only woman he loved, and their lives returned to peace and harmony.
History[]
Compared to many of the Snow Kids, Tia had a privileged and secluded upbringing. Born on Akilian in the aftermath of the Great Explosion, she travelled extensively throughout her childhood with her parents who were diplomats. As a child, her parents had little time for her and she was raised mainly by her governess, Stella. At some point in her childhood, she was striken by an unexplained fever, a result of her exposure to the Meta-Flux at the time of her birth. She developed the Breath as a small child, something her parents and the Flux Society failed to identify. She also has a particular interest in film and photography.
Tia first appears in the series in A New Hope when her spaceship crashes on Akilian. She is rescued by Rocket and taken to his secret cave where she reveals she is searching for Aarch in order to join his team. Her use of the Breath in try outs astounds everyone present and guarantees her a place in Aarch's original seven chosen players. Intially, she remains shy and secretive and it is only after Rocket joins the Snow Kids that she begins to make a connection with her team.
Her use of The Breath makes her a target in early matches as the Snow Kids are heavily reliant on her skills to score. After she was injured in the Wamba's game
by a dangerous foul, Tia returned to Akilian where the police were waiting to arrest her. It was revealed that she had used actors to portray her parents in a video message to give herself permission to be on the team, however Artegor Nexus had learned from the Wamba's that she was a runaway and had called the police.
Tia was then taken back to her home on the Obia Moon and forbidden by her parents to return to the team. However she and her nanny hatched a plan and using her skills with a camera, she created a looping video of her sleeping to fool the guards who kept watch over her. She then returned to the team on Akilian and helped to win the match against the Red Tigers which qualified them to participate in the Galactik Football Cup as representatives of Akilian. After Callie Mystic told Tia's Parents about the wonders their daughter's football career could do for their image, they allowed her to stay on the team. She later talks to Rocket on the fact that Callie had gotten more out of her parents in one minute than she ever had in 20 years. This shows the ignorance of her parents over Tia.
Over the course of the series, her attitude towards the other members of the team became very relaxed and she began to make friends with them quickly. Once they reached Genesis Stadium, she suprised Rocket by tracking down his mother and reuniting them on his birthday which lead to disasterous consequences in their friendship.
After everything was straightened out, Rocket presented his feelings to Tia after some advice from Aarch by giving her a kiss in the middle of the night and states she had sweet dreams.
In Season two, four years after winning the cup, Tia and Rocket are boyfriend and girlfriend. However, in the first episode, the couple are shown to be walking through Genesis Forest where Tia decides to film the sights and accidently falls off a cliff and Rocket is forced to save her by using The Breath. Rocket was suspended and left the team, Tia then spent all of her free time trying to find him and eventually was reunited with him as he left the Netherball Sphere in Genesis Stadiums underground although he pushes her away.
Tia later leaves Genesis with The Pirates to go and rescue her parents from the Technoid Prison Barge, leaving the team without a midfielder and forcing Yuki to take her place while Ahito plays in goal. After the success of freeing her parents, Tia returned to her post as Midfielder.
Tia later faces Rocket in Netherball where she hoped he could see what he had become. Rocket however was not able to see that he was facing Tia, he had hallucinations that he was fighting previous opponents of Netherball. It wasn't until Tia was injured that he actually saw her and realized what he had become, she then told him that she would beat him and successfully outscores Rocket. She then pleads with him to return as he is needed by the team and her. At the end she and Rocket both announce that they are resigning from Netherball. This causes an enormous riot that ends up with the Sphere being destroyed. After Rocket returns she makes up with him. He apologizes to her and she thanks him for saving her life in the forest.
During the finals against The Xenons, Luur fouls Tia badly, which makes Rocket unsurprisingly angry. She is forced off the pitch and replaced by Mark, she is however returned to the pitch with Ahito where they watch the Penalty Shootout in person.
In Season Three, after arriving on Paradisia, she carefully took care of her partner Rocket when he fell ill with MRI, then Tia and Rocket's relationship was put to a severe test when Lun-Zia joined the Snow Kids for the tournament and took a liking to Rocket, which made Tia jealous and there was an argument between the partners. When she found out that Lun-Zia already had a boyfriend named Dukuba, she realized that her behavior was stupid, to which Rocket agreed and forgave her, then rubbed her hair and kissed her tenderly on the cheek. After this difficult situation, Tia and Rocket's relationship became stronger, tighter, happier, more durable. In the epilogue of season 3, she got scared when Mei, Micro-Ice, and the Children from the Galactik Club they disappeared from the Holotrainer out of nowhere and there was no trace of them anywhere.
Trivia[]
- A hint of how skilled in Galactik Football Tia is a fact that she outdone Rocket, the intended All-Stars team member (which means he was the best of them at that moment and has been improving in the Sphere since his suspension), who defeated every other All-Stars member, in Netherball. It's unknown, though, if Rocket was actually playing all-out after realizing who his opponent was, but Tia never resorted to violence herself. This leads to a conclusion that Tia is one of the most skilled GF players, if not the most skilled.
