Personality[]
BFB[]
Liy is a pushy and manipulative contestant, often trying to force others into doing what she wants, such as making Ice Cube manipulate Teardrop's vocal cords or trying to convince Clock to form a truce with her. She sometimes complains about not receiving enough support, as shown when she didn’t get enough votes to rejoin in "Get to the Top in 500 Steps."
While she can be irritable and quick to anger, as seen when Ice Cube stops helping her or when she learns she had the most votes to be eliminated, Liy also gets cranky when bored, as shown in "Enter the Exit". Despite her manipulative behavior, Liy has a more positive side and attempts to atone for her past actions by saving contestants' lives. She has saved 2,753 lives, just 10 short of 2,763.
TPOT[]
Liy is portrayed as impatient and impulsive, often acting out of boredom, like when she repeatedly throws Match into the water in "Out Of The Blue". Despite this, she shows strong leadership and resourcefulness, guiding her team through challenges. Liy takes charge during crucial moments, solving problems like traps and leading the team to find armor to protect them from Four. Though she can be sarcastic and frustrated, she values teamwork and recognizes her teammates' efforts. Her determination and bravery shine through as she persists after setbacks and helps her team escape in the final battle with Four.
Since joining the show, Liy has shown to be supportive, advisable, and emotionally intelligent. She understands how to manage anger and helps others process their emotions, as seen in "The Power of Four", where she reassures Pen and encourages him to express his feelings in a healthy way. Her ability to listen and provide comfort show that she's caring, empathetic, and a good listener. Despite her competitive nature in challenges, like when she fought Kitchen Sink in "Seasonal Shift", she genuinely cares about her friends, and values emotional well-being.
Abilities[]
Strengths[]
- Light switching: If her switch is flipped while she is against a wall, she has the ability to turn on the light of whichever room she is in, as seen in "Out of the Blue", though this may not be the case for every light and/or every room.
- Power switching: On top of flipping her switch, she can also turn her handle around to a wooden variety with a much smaller switch. As she switches to this, she gains a significant increase in strength and agility as seen in "Seasonal Shift", though there could be more unknown abilities. When switched, Liy was able to smash through a boat, grab Kitchen Sink, drag them back to another boat and smash them to pieces, all while falling straight down.
Official Character Guide biography[]
Naturally curious, Liy is probably one of the most adventurous characters on BFDI. She is a plastic light switch. To some, though, she is somewhat pushy. She's always trying to force others to do as she wants them to do, such as trying to get Ice Cube to wiggle Teardrop's vocal cords to get her to talk.
Liy is curious and will always look to discover new things, like what's at the top of Bell's string.
Did You Know?: Liy wishes she was an empress. Then she could say "I, Empress, am pressed and am impressed" when toggled skillfully.

Pre-Battle for Dream Island Again[]
In "BFDI APPISIOTE 225555555!!!!!", Liy makes her debut. She is seen briefly when Michael Huang shakes the camera at a light switch on a wall.
Battle for Dream Island Again[]
In "Meaty", Liy makes her technical animated debut, where she appears as a recommended character who gets hit by Ruby's pink paint, just like the rest of the recommended characters.
Battle for BFDI[]

Liy makes her actual animated debut in "Getting Teardrop to Talk". In it, she asks Tree to hold Teardrop's jaw open while she fiddles with her vocal cords in hopes of making her talk. Tree declines the offer and "leafs". Ice Cube later appears, and Liy asks if she is cool. Ice Cube is unsure, but Leafy interjects and says Ice Cube is cool, along with everyone else. Liy asks Icy again if she wants to help her make Teardrop talk. Ice Cube says "Yeah!". They immediately start playing around with TD's vocal cords, and Liy says she can almost hear Teardrop's voice. Bracelety is seen cheering Icy, and Clock asks her why she's condoning Ice Cube's "torturing" (wiggling the vocal cords) of Teardrop.
After Clock's argument with Bracelety and Fanny, he tells Liy to stop trying to force Teardrop to talk. Liy refuses, and then Clock asks Icy if she wants to stop. Liy interjects that Icy should make her decision, but Ice Cube says she wants to stop. Clock appreciates Ice Cube's decision, but Liy becomes frustrated with Ice Cube and says she thought that Ice Cube was cool. Icy apologizes and continues along with Liy to try to make Teardrop talk.
Liy and Ice Cube's experiment is cut off when Teardrop is hit with a fork and chomps down on Ice Cube's legs. She leaves, hitting Clock and Liy both on her way out. Liy tells Clock that they've "both wronged Teardrop today", and holds out her hand for a truce. After she tries to grab his clock hands, Clock finally shakes her hand. Ice Cube inserts herself into the truce as well.
Upon his arrival, Liy sees Four and asks what it is. Pie suggests that she squish it, which she does, causing Four to scream. Saw tells Liy to stop because she doesn't know what it does. When X appears as well, Liy squishes him and says that he has a different texture than Four.
When picking teams, Liy overhears Pie say that she hasn't killed anyone. She is impressed and mentions that she's killed before, however it was "extremely disturbing". Wanting to learn to resist the temptation to murder, she joins Pie's team. Her team is the first safe thanks to Pen.
In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", when Black Hole frees Foldy from the jawbreaker, Liy glares at her and tells her to go back to her team.
In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Liy buys one quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) cans of Fork Repellent from Lollipop to help her team prevent death.
In "Today's Very Special Episode", after Bell calls for help, Liy finds her and asks what's going on. Upon learning that Eraser is climbing Bell's string, Liy declares discovering what lies at the top her "next adventure" and starts climbing, much to Bell's dismay. During the contest, forks are seen circulating around Liy. She guesses this is due to a malfunction of Lollipop's fork repellent.
In "Fortunate Ben", during Cake at Stake, Liy falls into the bottom two with Pie and says that "voters should see [her] in a positive light" since she "said one pun two months ago". When it is revealed that Liy will be eliminated with 7,553 votes, she makes a speech, revealing that she has saved 2,753 lives out of the 2,763 lives Death P.A.C.T. has saved in total. She says that she joined Death P.A.C.T. with the intent of putting her "traumatic killing past" behind her and has spent hours and a lot of willpower saving people instead of murdering. Without the support of her team, she wonders what the point is of restraining herself. She presses her switch, then continues pushing until it revolves around and reveals a toggle switch on the back. She also presses this. Tree asks Four to suck her up, which he does.

After she's gone, the team discusses what she was a switch for. Pillow claims that Liy is "much more" than just a light switch, but doesn't get a chance to elaborate.
In "Enter the Exit", she is seen in the EXIT along with Pencil, Leafy, and Bracelety. She ponders when Four is coming back. Pencil doesn't know when, and states that he "disappears sometimes". Liy says that her question was a rhetorical question, but Pencil tells Liy she made an error. Liy says that she's bored because the four students inside the class have had to do the same worksheet 50 times. When Pencil says that one of the many things the students have to do is to have an "appreciation ritual" for Four, Liy says that the "ritual" is not math.
When Bracelety finishes her work, Pencil sighs because break time had just begun, but Liy reiterates that the break time was not for her, but for Bracelety. When the males who were eliminated but were not sent come into the class, Liy is shocked that Loser was eliminated. When 8-Ball and Stapy announce they want to get out of the class, Liy tells them they "just got here". Her rejoining audition is admitting that she made a mistake prior to her elimination, and telling the viewers if they don't vote for her, her team name won't be applicable anymore. This could be an indirect threat.
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", she and the other EXITors ponder on what lies behind the locked door behind Pencil's seat. Stapy teases her, but she hits him and tells him the door is locked. Just before Liy uses one of Stapy's staples that she had just made into a lockpick to exit, Four appears and tells the EXITors to sit. Since she was sat behind Roboty, Four can't see Liy. However, she still does not rejoin. She angrily asks why people do not support her. When 8-Ball asks her if she is sad because she did not rejoin, Liy proclaims that she isn't and that she has found her "next adventure".

In "The Escape From Four", Liy is first seen in the EXIT, hearing Loser reading Donut's diary. She tells everyone that she doesn't agree with the idea of being happy together in the EXIT, which shocks everyone. She tries to explain that they should be happy "out there". Bracelety is confused so she explains that they should escape, saying they are strong enough, which Loser and Stapy agree to.
A while later, Liy asks Stapy how the stacking is going, but after Stapy obviously appears to be struggling, she later cheers in delight as Match and Pencil ask Loser to climb up instead of Stapy. She then throws some things found in the exit to Loser to stack. When asked if she can throw anything else, she claims there's nothing left to throw. She tells Match and Pencil to help Loser reach Four's mouth, but they both decline her request. Liy then angrily threatens that if they don't do it, both of them will be demoted to "bember", despite not being in the alliance, which finally makes them agree to do so.
Liy is also climbing the pile along with Stapy to help them, but sees half of Spongy's body enter Four's body. She says that climbing through Spongy is their best option to reach the outside world, much to Match and Pencil's disgust. She tells them to face it, because Four's mouth is too high for them to reach, but both of them just decide to bail. When Loser tells the others that Spongy's holes are stretchy enough to fit all of them, she hops inside him, along with Bracelety, David, Dora, Loser and Stapy. She is able to pop out of one of the holes, but quickly gets sucked into EXIT again as Four pulls all of the eliminated contestants (except Loser and Spongy) back in.
Battle for BFB[]
In "Chapter Complete", Liy is first seen asking Four if he went somewhere, after hearing a voice asking when he'd be back. Later, Four claims that everyone hates them, and Liy, in a deadpan voice, tells him that he shouldn't say that. When Four zaps 8-Ball to death, Liy used this as an example of why everyone rejected him. Liy, along with the other imaginary characters, is then snapped out of existence by Four.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Liy gets up from her fall from Spongy and tells Stapy that it's time to for plan B. Stapy listens and knocks down their tower of items. They both hang the EXIT sign back up and Stapy gives her a hammer.

As they work, Pencil arrives and asks what they're doing. While removing the boards with the hammer, Liy explains that she didn't even get to take a peek behind the back door before Four caught her and boarded it up and won't hesitate to do so now. While quivering, she pulls out one of Stapy's staples to unlock the door and slowly opens it.
In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", the episode continues from the moment when Liy opened the EXIT door. Everyone decides to leave just as Four arrives to stop them. Four ends up grabbing Roboty, and Liy is forced to leave him behind. Everyone decides to walk down the hallway, and what awaits them at the end appears to be a dimension based entirely around Four.
In "Outbreak At Stake", the exitors argue over what their next move should be, with Liy wanting to explore the waterfall. They decide to split up into groups, with Liy's group being her, Stapy, and Match. They're tasked with exploring the waterfall.
In "Out Of The Blue", Liy, Stapy and Match are looking at the fourtress from afar, and Liy is certain that could be their escape. They decide to use the inverted waterfall to get there, but realise they can't breathe in the water. Liy, thinking Match could, throws her in. Match struggles before retreating, gasping for air, and gets annoyed at Liy, who throws her in again. When Stapy asks why, Liy says she's just bored. Match returns, telling her to stop, and when Liy asks if she wants to try again, Match quickly denies.
After years of trying to scale the waterfall, they finally decide to go in together. If any of them start to drown, the other two will bring them to the surface to catch their breath. They did this repeatedly until they eventually reached the top, but fall again.

Once they reached the castle, Stapy accidentally kicks Match off the edge. Liy insists they go get her and sarcastically thanks Stapy. When Match returns, Liy tells Stapy no more tricks and traps—they have to be serious now. Inside, the trio notice armor on the floor that could be used to protect them from Four. As they move to retrieve it, they fall into a hole hidden by a rug.
In the hole, Stapy grabs Liy, attaches her to the wall and flips her switch, illuminating the room. Match calls him a hero, and Liy says it wasn’t all him. She notices a set of keys on the pillar and Match goes to grab them. Liy tells her that it’s probably a trap but it’s too late, and the walls start to close on on them. Liy asks what they’re gonna do.
Later, Liy and Stapy are trying to push the walls back, and ask Match to help, who refuses. Stapy rips her sleeping mask and demands her assistance, and Match gets angry. She uses him to fire multiple staples on either end of the walls. Liy realises that these could be used as a ladder, so she tells them to climb. Liy and Match make it out safely, but Stapy is still trapped. Liy convinces him to force the walls open, and he eventually does, but in the process notices a hidden door with a lock on it that was initially not present before. Liy says she can’t ignore a secret door, so she and Match jump down and use the keys from earlier to unlock the door.
They open the door to find a bunch of locked cells. Behind the cells is armor that could be used for their stack. A quick montage shows them trying it on. After checking all the cells, Liy notices one more cell yet to be opened, but they see nothing inside and leave. As they head out with the armor, Liy says they might actually escape. These words trigger Four, who starts running to their location.
Four tells them to go back to algebra, and the three of them use the armour to protect themselves. Liy uses Stapy as a horse and Match as a sword, declaring that Four won't stop them. Four teleports them to a fight arena and tries to blast Liy, but she dodges. She hurls Four, but he swiftly recovers and attacks, only to be blocked by Stapy. Liy and Match lunge at Four, kicking him out of the castle. Seeing a fire in the fourest, Four rushes towards it. Back in the arena, the trio returns to their original plan of using their stack to escape through Four's mouth.
Subsequently, they arrive with the armour, reuniting with Pencil, Bracelety and David. Pencil and Match share a loving hug before Liy steers their focus back to rebuilding the stack. Once the stack is complete, Liy informs them that they have everything, but it still isn't enough for them to escape. Fortunately, Bracelety saves them by attaching Roboty’s plunger to the top of the stack.
Everyone jumps on the plunger, using it as a boost to narrowly escape through Four’s mouth. The EXITors eventually manage to escape and are relieved, but just as Four prepares to send them back, Two intervenes, curious as to what's going on. Liy pleads her case, telling them that they've been trapped for six years. Two listens and orders Four to put them down. They hire the exitors as cooks for the failed debuters, but the exitors remain unhappy. They plot their escape, and Liy leads the charge by breaking open the windows with Pencil's lead. The episode concludes on a cliffhanger.
In "What's Up Bell's String?", Liy and the other EXITors are still trying to break out of the kitchen. Frustrated by the barriers on the windows, Liy uses Pencil's lead to shatter the glass. Later, at the end of the episode, a piano breaks the windows, freeing all the exitors from the hotel. Liy is given a chance to join TPOT. In her audition, she tries to convince people to vote for her, saying she's ready for her next adventure.

In "Category One," Liy receives the highest number of votes with 25,250 votes, so she and Pencil both join the show. Two allows them to choose which teams they want to join. Liy glances at Death P.A.C.T Yet Again but quickly decides they don't meet her standards, opting instead to join team . Downstairs, Two introduces
to their newest member, Liy, who is warmly welcomed by TV. Liy then greets Pen, mentioning that it’s been a while since they last saw each other.
Later, Donut is announced safe during CloudYAY's Cake at Stake and receives a master key as his prize. Liy catches the key, playfully declaring it her treasure now. Meanwhile, during 's cake at stake, Needle is eliminated, leaving Pen deeply saddened. Liy offers him comfort, reminding him that she's by his side. After Needle and Barf Bag mysteriously disappear, Tennis Ball attempts to track them using his device but finds no leads. However, Liy notices some unusual activity approaching the hotel on his tracker.
The unusual activity turns out to be bugs seeking shelter from the storm. Two then announces the next contest: protect the hotel from the approaching wildlife. is assigned the task of dealing with the giant Davidian outside, and with their mission clear, they head to Basketball's Aboveground Factory to strategize.
They agree to knock out the Davidian, but Pen asks how they’re going to manage it. Suddenly, Liy comes up with an idea, and Pen and Bottle follow her to Two's room. Once there, Bottle asks what the plan is, but Liy quickly tells her to stay quiet or they might risk waking Two and losing the challenge. Pen tries to open the door, only to find it locked.
Remembering the master key from earlier, Liy uses it to unlock the door, revealing a sleeping Two holding a jar of milk. As they quietly enter, Bottle trips over a broken chip by the door, causing Pen and Liy to stumble. This nearly wakes Two, so, thinking fast, they hide under the bed. Pen realizes that Bottle is missing, and Liy notices an empty jar on the floor.
The scene shifts to Two holding Bottle. Groggy, Two mumbles something about hearing a noise but shrugs it off and drinks the milk from Bottle before drifting back to sleep. Once Two is fully asleep again, Liy, Bottle and Pen quickly sneak away.
They head back to Basketball's aboveground factory, where Tennis Ball unveils an enhanced version of TV. The group gives a round of applause, impressed by the upgrade. Tennis Ball then outlines his plan: they'll use TV to distract the Davidian and lead him away from the hotel, while Liy, Bottle and Pen will use the milk to knock him out, preventing any damage to the hotel. With their roles clear, the four set out to execute the plan, while Tennis Ball stays behind to operate the controller for TV.
Outside, Liy, Bottle and Pen ask Black Hole to use his gravity to boost them onto the Davidian while TV works to grab his attention. Black Hole agrees but takes a moment to tell Liy it's nice to see her again. With that, he launches them onto the Davidian, and they begin their climb toward his mouth. Meanwhile, TV successfully distracts the Davidian, leading him away from the hotel as planned.

As they approach his shoulders, the Davidian is suddenly provoked, causing the trio to lose their grip and fall. Fortunately, the strong wind carries them upward, and they manage to latch onto the Davidian’s hair.
When the Davidian stumbles into a hole, losing his balance, it provides the perfect opportunity for the group to reach his mouth. Liy uses Bottle to feed the Davidian the milk, and he soon falls asleep. With the Davidian neutralized, is declared safe from elimination.
In "I SAID CAREFUL!!!," Liy and Bottle gather grass from Grassy, using it to rejuvenate the dead grass in the storm-ravaged area from the previous episode. Later, during the Cake at Stake, Eraser is eliminated, leaving Pen visibly upset. As Pen and Eraser share a final hug, Pen reflects on how he’s losing everyone he’s close to. The scene then shifts to Liy, who watches the interaction from a distance, feeling sympathy for Pen.
For the challenge, Two explains the contest: each team must retrieve a flag from the summit of either the mountain or the volcano. They emphasize that all four teams are free to choose either summit, but only one immunity is available per location. Before starting, Two asks if everyone understands the rules, and Liy questions why anyone would choose the volcano over the mountain. The scene shifts to CloudYAY gathered at the base of the volcano, confidently preparing to ascend it. Watching from afar, Liy quickly retracts her question, muttering, "nevermind".
With the instructions clear, sprints toward the mountain. Along the way, Liy spots Black Hole using his gravity to lift his teammates upward, giving them an advantage. Angered, Liy accuses him of cheating and retaliates by hurling Pen at Fanny. The impact causes Black Hole to lose his hold on Fanny, who plummets to her death. Pen and Liy share a triumphant high-five for their efforts.
Basketball suggests ordering jetpacks from Robot Flower's shop to speed up their climb. The team agrees, and when the jetpacks arrive, Liy eagerly straps one on, exclaiming that they’ll go super fast. However, before the rest of the team can equip their jetpacks, Pin suddenly swoops in and snatches them all. She sternly declares that Robot Flower is her teammate, so Liy and her team have no right to use the jetpacks.

A heated struggle ensues between Pin and over the jetpacks. Just as things escalate, Black Hole intervenes, sweeping away both Pin and all but one of the jetpacks. Fortunately, Liy manages to preserve a single jetpack, but the team now faces the daunting task of strategizing with only one jetpack left.
Forced to abandon their original plan, the team brainstorm a new strategy to make the most of their single jetpack. They decide to let TV wear the jetpack while the rest of the team hold onto him, using his stable frame as a central point for balance.
Liy eagerly helps strap the jetpack onto TV, and with everyone securely holding onto him, the group takes off, soaring into the air. At first, everything seems to be going smoothly, and the team starts to feel optimistic about their plan. However, doubts arise as Basketball points out that their combined weight might be too much for the jetpack to handle.
Moments later, the jetpack begins to malfunction, sputtering and jerking uncontrollably. TV struggles to regain control, but the sudden shifts in direction throw the team into a panic. Everyone starts screaming in fear as they spiral through the air, desperately clinging to TV while trying to brace for what’s to come.
The group reaches the edge of a cliff, where Liy drops Bottle off. Bottle briefly climbs back on, but Liy firmly leaves her behind. One by one, she removes the rest of the team, who land safely below. Realizing the jetpack is no longer an option, they consider climbing the rest of the way but find the slope too steep to navigate. As they assess their options, Tennis Ball suggests finding supplies to aid their ascent.
Liy spots a cabin in the distance, speculating it might contain useful tools. Before they can act, Snowball arrives and buries them under a flurry of snow. He and his team then seize the opportunity to rush toward the cabin.
The group work together to free themselves from the snow before noticing a nearby sign. Initially, the sign appears to read "No Avalanche!" and Liy exhales in relief. However, as the snow covering the rest of the message slides off, it reveals the actual warning: "Notice: Avalanche!" Panic sets in among the group, but Pen quickly suggests ordering climbing equipment from Robot Flower's shop. Despite Basketball’s urgent warning not to proceed, the order has already been placed.
Moments later, Robot Flower speeds down the mountain, her rapid descent triggering the avalanche. Acting quickly, Liy and the rest of the team race toward the cabin for shelter. They manage to reach it just in time, but the snow from the avalanche barricades the only exit, trapping them inside.
Snowball, frustrated by the situation, confronts Liy, blaming her for the disaster. He strikes her in anger, and Liy warns him not to do that again. Unfazed, Snowball antagonizes her further by rapidly flipping her light switch on and off before shoving her backward. Pushed to her limit, Liy prepares to bring out her inner switch to retaliate, but Pen steps in, urging Snowball to back off and leave Liy alone.

A fight erupts between the two teams, their frustration boiling over into chaos. As they argue and scuffle, the ground beneath them suddenly gives way, sending both teams plummeting into a deep pit below. The chaos continues as they recover, but their bickering is interrupted when icicles start dropping from the ceiling, followed by large heaps of snow cascading into the pit.
As the snow settles, members of Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again emerge from the drifts. Liy is startled to see them, but before she can react, Book hurls a snowball at her, declaring that the fight isn’t over. Liy braces to respond, but Marker steps in, urging everyone to stop fighting. Despite his efforts, tensions escalate further as all three teams join the fray, transforming the pit into a chaotic snowball war.
Realizing their priority, the teams redirect their focus toward finding the flag buried in the snow. Liy and her team dive headfirst into the drifts, frantically searching, but Snowball relentlessly pursues her, determined to block her efforts. The snow becomes a flurry of movement as everyone scrambles, tensions running high, however, Grassy ends up finding the flag, securing immunity for Team 2.
With the mountain flag claimed, the focus shifts to the volcano, where CloudYAY is steadily nearing the summit. Observing this, the remaining teams recognize that their chances of beating CloudYAY to the flag are slim. Frustration builds as contestants voice their frustrations about some of the members of CloudYAY: Book grumbles about Pencil's overbearing behavior, Price Tag criticizes Pillow's violent tendencies, Ice Cube complains about Yellow Face’s limb-stealing antics, and Fanny voices disdain for Golf Ball’s bossiness.
Seizing the moment, Liy proposes an alliance between the teams to sabotage CloudYAY, given their mutual dislike for the team. Grassy enthusiastically supports the idea, pushing Snowball aside in the process. Snowball merges into the snow, inadvertently creating a makeshift sled. The contestants pile on top, launching themselves off the edge of a cliff in a chaotic attempt to intercept CloudYAY.
The plan takes a disastrous turn as the contestants, including Liy, are sent hurtling off the edge of the cliff. The impact results in several deaths. Two swiftly recovers all the dead contestants, including CloudYAY members Pencil, Pillow, and Donut. Upon realizing that the other teams are banding together against them, CloudYAY retaliates, and a fierce battle erupts. Amidst the chaos, Liy notices Golf Ball and Yellow Face sprinting towards the volcano, determined to secure the flag. Urging her team to follow suit, Liy rallies them in a final push to reach the flag first, hoping to seize victory before CloudYAY.

"Wait, team!"
As continues to chase Golf Ball and Yellow Face, the former quickly notices their pursuit and veers off in another direction to shake them off. Liy spots this but, determined, the team presses on, focused on claiming the flag. Inside, Yellow Face crosses to the end of the bridge inside the volcano just as
arrive. Realizing they are being followed, Yellow Face aggressively shakes the bridge, causing Liy and Tennis Ball to lose their footing. Both fall off the bridge, plummeting into the lava below, causing them both to succumb to the fiery depths.
Despite the combined efforts of the other teams to sabotage CloudYAY, Winner ultimately reaches the flag first, securing immunity for CloudYAY. Meanwhile , along with Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again, fall short, losing the challenge. As a result, both teams find themselves up for elimination.
In "Seasonal Shift", Liy and the rest of arrive at the top of the hotel to begin the Cake at Stake ceremony. However, before it starts, Two suddenly disappears, Marker inexplicably turns green, and the hotel itself vanishes. Strangely, none of the contestants notice these changes, except for Black Hole. When he tries to raise his concerns, the others seem oblivious and ask him to explain. Their memories are disconnected from the original timeline, leaving Black Hole as the only one aware of the discrepancies. The ceremony proceeds, and Liy is announced safe with 19,861 votes by VR Headset, now the host. Black Hole grows frustrated with the constant host changes and demands to know if this was some kind of joke, but Liy misunderstands him, thinking he’s referring to her safety. He attempts to clarify, but the rapid shifts in the host continue, deepening his confusion.
Later, Golf Ball and Tennis Ball realize Black Hole was correct: the Yoylite has been altering the timeline, with only Black Hole unaffected. Suddenly, everyone’s memories of the original timeline return. Black Hole, still confused, asks what caused this. Golf Ball speculates that the Yoylite is the culprit. TV then examines the timeline and discovers that the failed debuters have been scattered across different points in history. The next challenge is announced: teams must travel back in time to collect the failed debuters one by one. The two teams that gather the most will earn immunity, while the other two will face elimination. is tasked with retrieving Kitchen Sink, who is stuck on January 12th, 2018. Liy and the team quickly set off, with TV staying behind to observe the timeline.
Upon arriving, materializes atop a cliff, where they see contestants doing BFB 5's challenge. Liy observes her surroundings and asks what’s happening, to which Pen explains that she was eliminated before this point. Suddenly, they hear distant screaming, which turns out to be Kitchen Sink chasing Free Food in a paper airplane. The two planes collide, sending all the members of Free Food tumbling toward the ground. In a quick move, Kitchen Sink catches them in their plane and glides away.
Determined to stop Kitchen Sink, decides to build their own paper plane. As they work, Bottle enthusiastically steps onto the plane, but Liy, Pen, and Tennis Ball immediately shout at her to get off. Bottle agrees and steps off, but only until the plane is ready. Once completed, the plane unexpectedly turns into an air balloon. Liy questions the transformation, and Tennis Ball suggests that since CloudYAY traveled further back in time, their actions likely caused a ripple effect, altering random details across the timeline. Liy then turns her attention to the new hosts, Three and Ean, and wonders aloud if the "ripple effect" could have caused the change in hosts as well.
The team climbs aboard the air balloon, and Liy raises it into the air. In an unfortunate turn, they accidentally collide with Beep, but both teams manage to survive the impact. Remote notices them and is confused by their presence, while Pen’s past self calls them imposters. Liy, annoyed, declares she isn’t dealing with that team again and lifts the air balloon higher. They collide with Free Food and demand that Kitchen Sink get down immediately, but Kitchen Sink smugly refuses. Suddenly, the rocket ships turn into boats, sending all the teams plummeting toward the ground. Frustrated and done with the absurdity of the situation, Liy activates her secret switch and charges toward Free Food’s boat. She demands that Kitchen Sink stop messing around before grabbing and slamming them onto the boat, causing Kitchen Sink to shatter. Liy then reverts back to her original form.

With Kitchen Sink taken care of, the group braces for the continued fall. Hoping for a shift in the timeline, they hold on to the hope that something will save them. Moments later, the boats transform into clouds, breaking everyone’s fall and allowing them to float safely. Before leaving, the group briefly considers fixing the mess they caused but ultimately decides against it. Instead, they use the Yoylite to return to the present, bringing the deceased Kitchen Sink with them.
Upon arrival, Four congratulates the team for their efforts but quickly redirects them to June 29th, 2012, where they witness the BFDI contestants carrying Clapboard toward the execution. Tennis Ball, horrified, realizes that this is the moment when he, Pen, and the others attempted to execute Leafy after she sold Dream Island. Amused, Bottle teases Pen about how un-P.A.C.T.-like that was, but Pen protests, explaining that he wasn’t exactly happy about it. As the group watches, the scene shifts to Pen’s past self, who clearly shows joy and eagerness as he prepares to execute Clapboard. Pen insists that the past is the past, and Liy reassures him, telling him that everyone has regrets.
Determined to stop the execution, the group follows the BFDI contestants as they reach the Announcer Crusher and place Clapboard on the platform. As the crusher begins to descend, the members of panic. Tennis Ball asks what they should do, and Liy, spotting Leafy escaping, responds that they need to deal with her first. The group chases after her but loses track of her when they reach the Evil Forest. Tennis Ball, recalling the events from before, remembers that Leafy went left, and they all quickly catch up to her, only to find her blocked by a massive tree. Cornered, Leafy begs them not to go through with their plan, but Liy throws Leafy into Bottle, and they return to the other BFDI contestants. Bottle excitedly presents Leafy to the group before letting her go, and seeing this, the other contestants immediately start chasing her once again. This distraction gives
the perfect opportunity to save Clapboard from the Announcer Crusher, and the team teleports back to the present with Clapboard safely retrieved.
Carrot Cake commends the team for successfully retrieving their second debuter, Clapboard, before immediately redirecting them to March 1st, 2011. Upon arrival, they spot Leek climbing a massive barf bag where the contestants are competing inside. Pen calls out Leek’s name, but Bubble, who hears him from inside the barf bag, mistakes it for an actual leak. Just then, Leek accidentally tears open a hole, causing the vomit to spill out. Frustrated, Liy and Pen follow Leek up the barf bag, while Bottle picks up Tennis Ball and carries him up.
As the group pursues Leek up the barf bag, Team 2 arrives, determined to retrieve Leek. Snowball picks up Price Tag and tears a massive hole in the barf bag, causing an immense amount of vomit to spill out. Bottle notices their intent and tells Liy and Pen to keep climbing, while she and Tennis Ball go deal with the immediate threat. The duo leaps down while Liy and Pen continue climbing. At the top, Leek jumps onto one of the platforms and pushes Pencil off, and Liy and Pen soon follow. However, when Leek sees the duo, they jump into the vomit and swim in the opposite direction. Liy, disgusted, says she refuses to follow suit, but before she can finish her sentence, the barf bag collapses due to vomit loss.
In the aftermath, they spot Leek from a distance and demand Leek get over here now, but Leek refuses. They try to escape, but Bottle catches them, blocking their path. As everyone regroups, Bottle asks where Tennis Ball is, and the scene cuts to Tennis Ball being chased by everyone on Team 2, who tries to take Leek out of 's grasp. Despite their efforts,
manages to stop them and is able to return to the present with Leek safely.

The group turns in Leek, and Ean congratulates them for successfully retrieving their third debuter. However, their celebration is short-lived when they notice the crack in the sky has grown dangerously large. Confused, Tree demands to know if or Team 2 are responsible for the growing instability, suspicion evident in his voice. Both teams awkwardly deny any involvement. TV then informs the contestants that CloudYAY has time-travelled back to BFDI 25, leaving their Yoylite behind. This revelation shocks everyone, and it's quickly realized that CloudYAY's actions are likely causing the worsening timeline disruption.
As the teams prepare to use their Yoylites to travel back and stop CloudYAY, the Yoylites across all teams suddenly lose their color, levitating momentarily before the vibrant hues are sucked out of them, rendering them lifeless and completely useless. The contestants stare in disbelief as their Yoylites drop to the ground, no longer functioning.
Trapped in the present, the teams are left helpless, unable to prevent CloudYAY’s interference or fix the damage already done. They watch in helpless horror as CloudYAY’s actions unfold on TV, each moment worsening the situation. However, their worst fears come true when Leafy is allowed onto Dream Island, an event that effectively seals the collapse of the timeline.
The crack in the sky grows even larger, signaling the imminent destruction of everything they’ve fought for. As the sky continues to tear apart, the contestants brace themselves for what they believe will be their final moments. Filled with terror, Liy, Bottle, and Pen hold onto each other, resigned to the fact that their permanent deaths are just moments away.
However, just as all hope seems lost, everything suddenly snaps back into place, as if the very fabric of reality has been repaired. A deal made by Gaty with One has restored the timeline, and Two reappears. CloudYAY is returned to their original timeline, unharmed. While the crack in the sky still lingers, it is now significantly smaller and more manageable, offering a flicker of hope amidst the chaos.
In the aftermath, , along with CloudYAY, are announced safe from elimination. Meanwhile, Liy and the other contestants turn their angry gazes toward the members of CloudYAY, furious at the reckless actions that almost destroyed the timeline. However, CloudYAY appears unwilling to take responsibility for the havoc they caused.
In "The Power of Four", the challenge requires teams to find an effective hiding spot and avoid getting tagged by Four or X. If a contestant is tagged, their team will be at risk of elimination, with the two teams having the most tagged members facing the vote. While Bottle and TV choose to hide separately, Liy, Pen, and Tennis Ball take cover inside the Clubhouse of Awesomeness. As they dance inside, Liy confidently declares that their team is guaranteed to win. However, their hiding spot is compromised when Black Hole inadvertently tears apart part of the clubhouse walls, leaving them exposed.
Black Hole quickly apologizes, but Liy accuses him of trying to make them lose on purpose. Just then, Pillow arrives with X and directs him to tag them. Liy complains about the unfairness of the situation, arguing that their hiding place was destroyed. X, acknowledging this, decides to let them off with a warning but only this once before teleporting away.
Four arrives immediately after and tags Tennis Ball. In a last-ditch effort, Tennis Ball tackles Four, urging Liy and Pen to save themselves. The two quickly flee before Four can tag them, hiding inside Roboty’s chest compartment. For a moment, they remain safely concealed, but soon, Liy hears the unexpected sound of rushing water. Curious, she and Pen step out, only to realize they have been mysteriously teleported to a waterfall.

"Whoa..."
Pen describes the setting as otherworldly before turning to Liy, noting that she must be sick of such surreal environments after everything she experienced inside Four. Liy agrees, adding that she’s especially tired of waterfalls. Pen invites her to elaborate, and as they sit down, Liy explains that she was with Match and Stapy. Pen is particularly surprised at the mention of Stapy, given their past conflict, but Liy simply remarks that a lot changed in there.
As their conversation continues, Pen confesses that he had wished he could have confronted Pencil, since she was partially responsible for Eraser’s elimination. Liy asks why he didn’t, and he admits that he doesn’t know how to express his anger—or if he even can—because it’s just not something he’s ever done before. In response, Liy shares her own struggle with controlling her anger, explaining that she forced herself to suppress it while on Death P.A.C.T.. She then reveals her secret switch, explaining that while it’s still a part of her, she remains in control. She chooses when it’s necessary to let it out, such as when she fought Kitchen Sink. Amused, Pen flips her switch back to her normal state, and Liy concludes that anger isn’t inherently bad.
Still doubtful, Pen questions whether he can control his emotions the way Liy does. She reassures him that it’s never too late to start expressing himself. Encouraged, Pen decides to give it a try, launching into a rant about Pencil’s actions ever since she joined the show, venting his frustrations as he repeatedly strikes the wooden plank beneath them. At first, Liy supports him, but as his anger intensifies, she quickly reminds him that he has to control it. With one final strike, the plank snaps in two. Despite this, they manage to land safely on the other side.
Pen tells Liy that letting his anger out felt good, and she reminds him to breathe, reassuring him that he’s fine. He exhales, feeling a sense of relief. Pen thanks Liy for the advice, and wonders aloud where the broken plank went. But before they can dwell on it, X suddenly steps out of Roboty, spotting them on the other side of the waterfall. X declares that they’ve been found and that this time, he will tag them. Liy quickly urges Pen to run as X flies toward them. The two scramble into a nearby tree, hoping to stay out of sight. Liy whispers to Pen, asking if he can still see X. Peering through the leaves, Pen scans the area, but X is nowhere to be seen. He turns back to Liy and quietly assures her that they’re safe, only for X to suddenly appear right beneath them.
Startled, Pen and Liy lose their balance and plummet from the tree, landing on the edge of a cliff. They barely manage to grab hold of the ledge as X closes in. Thinking fast, Liy grabs Pen and leaps off the cliff, sending them both into freefall. As they plummet, they pass through "BFDI APPISIOTE 225555555!!!!!" before crash-landing directly onto Four’s eyeball. X promptly transports them out before tagging them both, officially disqualifying them from the challenge.
Pen is visibly disappointed by their defeat, but also asks if CloudYAY is still in the game. Black Hole informs him that only three of them remain untagged. Determined, Pen declares that they have to go find them. He rushes toward the ruins of Gelatin’s Steakhouse, and Liy follows close behind, offering him words of encouragement.
Nearby, Pencil is spotted driving away in the FreeSmart SuperVan. Determined to stop her, Pen takes off in pursuit, but he isn’t fast enough, and the van speeds away. Frustrated, he blames himself for letting them escape. Liy reassures him that he did his best, but Pen insists that he can’t let lose the challenge, as he doesn’t want to lose any of his friends. Seeing his distress, Liy tries to comfort him.
Later, the SuperVan returns, giving Pen a second chance. Wasting no time, he steps directly in front of the van as Liy cheers him on. His sudden presence causes the van to swerve and tip over. Pencil scrambles out just as Four rushes toward her. As Pen watches her terrified reaction, he realizes that Pencil is scared of Four. Liy reminds him not to let his anger take over, so Pen quickly shifts his approach. Instead of letting Four tag Pencil, he lifts the van with her still inside before hurling it in the opposite direction, putting space between Pencil and Four. Though Four blasts him for interfering, Liy commends Pen for his actions, telling him she’s proud of him.

"Well done, Pen! I'm proud of you!"
Soon, the challenge comes to an end, and is declared safe from elimination, meaning Liy is safe as well. As the game wraps up, she realizes they’ll finally discover where Bottle has been hiding this whole time. Moments later, to everyone’s amazement, Bottle steps out from behind the hotel doors. Liy and the other contestants cheer for her, impressed by her clever hiding spot.
In "Bottle For Dream Island", Liy joins Black Hole, Price Tag, and Winner in an eating contest, where the goal is to consume Bottle’s dishes as quickly as possible to earn points for their respective teams. The first dish is a bowl of gasoline, which Liy eagerly drinks, enjoying the taste.
The next dish is a plate of chocolate balls. While the others use their unique abilities to dispose of the food (Black Hole with absorption, Price Tag through selling, and Winner through absorption) Liy accuses them all of cheating as she eats the chocolate balls herself. However, the mix of gasoline and chocolate upsets her stomach. Winner apologizes, suggesting that things would be easier if Liy had a special ability too. Hearing this, Liy activates her secret switch, using it to crush the chocolate balls. As she does, the others watch in fascination.
Liy continues crushing the chocolate balls with enthusiasm as Black Hole cheers her on. She thanks him and throws the remaining chocolate balls onto the plate. However, a yellow token accidentally gets lodged in her switch, causing it to malfunction. Liy accuses Black Hole of sabotaging her, but he denies it and tries to help remove the token. In the attempt, he accidentally sucks her in, unintentionally killing her.
Later, Liy enters the Clubhouse of Awesomeness. She opens the door slightly and overhears Pen talking to Pencil about the difficulty of letting go of old friends and the value of forming new ones. Listening quietly, Liy smiles to herself before gently closing the door and walking away.

Trivia[]
Comparisons[]
- Liy is one of three characters to appear in "BFDI APPISIOTE 225555555!!!!!". The others are Foldy and Stapy.

- Liy always competes on the same team as Bottle and Pen.
- Liy holds the record for the most votes to join into a season.
- Liy is the second person to join TPOT late, the first being Teardrop and the third being Pencil.
- Since Liy joined TPOT in "Category One", every single member of Death P.A.C.T. has competed in TPOT at least once.
- Just by merely joining into the final 25 of TPOT in "Category One", no matter where Liy places, it will be significantly better than her ranking of 62nd/61st in BFB.

General[]
- She is always drawn in the storyboards with her switch flipped downward, but in the show, her default appearance always has it flipped up.
- Liy's voice in "Getting Teardrop to Talk" is slightly pitched up (possibly to differentiate it better from Lightning's). This is either fixed or replaced in "Lick Your Way to Freedom", where her voice is unaltered.
- Her voice is again pitched up in "Enter the Exit", when she says "You guys just got here!" to Stapy and 8-Ball.
- In "The Escape from Four", Liy's voice sounds unusually mellow and monotone. This can possibly be attributed to her voice actor, Sabrina, getting older and having her voice change.
- She has admitted that she has killed someone and described it as disturbing.
- In BFB 5, it was revealed that she can change herself into her past design from "BFDI APPISIOTE 225555555!!!!!".
- Prior to Profily’s introduction, Liy had the least total episode appearances out of the contestants.
- She was originally going to be one of the contestants in BFB to escape with Loser and Spongy in BFB 16. Afterwards, she would go to TPOT, making it 41 contestants + 1 debuter. However, this changed and the crew needed to make a new plan of 42 contestants.[4]
- Despite this, she would eventually join in TPOT for real when she got the most amount of votes to join in "Category One".
- According to the Official Character Guide, Liy wishes she was an empress so that she can say "I, Empress, am pressed and impressed."

- She was in the EXIT for 6 years, 5 months, 2 days.
