My idea for Tien's mom is a tall lady with a lot of green hair. Not sure on a name yet. I was thinking Danji or Jidan. Chinese Egg pancake. But I'm terrible at coming up with pun names and not every single name needs to be based on food. I'll call her Jidan for now.
Jidan was one of the last members of the three eye people. Tien's memories of her are vague yet when he dreams, sometimes he can remember her face and voice very clearly. He says its like waking up in a sunny green field.
They lived an incredibly humble life with a few others who were like them, likely the last known village. Then one day Jiji scooped Tien up in her arms and they started on a journey. To go see his father, she said.
Next thing Tien remembers, he is donning the uniform of the Crane School. An entire moment of his life is scratched out. He doesn't know what happened. And he doesn't know if he wants to.

DBZ Theory: The Secret of Chiaotzu
[Art by @HAL7040 on Twitter]
Tien and Chiaotzu are inseparable. Whenever one is on screen, you know the other one is not far away. They go together like crab potstickers and rice. Tien is Chiaotzu's best friend. There cannot be any doubt that they treat each other with affection.
Tien is always trying to push past his limits, and Chiaotzu is always there dutifully at his side - to assist with his training, to cheer him on, join in a fight, and even prepare meals for him. Without any ambitions for himself to distract him.
I mean, that fits into Tien's lifestyle a little too perfectly?
Think about it... does he even talk to anybody else? Try to recall a moment that Chiaotzu talked to anyone that wasn't part a filler moment? You'd have to go back to the original Dragonball, even then Tien was watching near by.
Also, he was introduced as small rival for Krillin, but that highlights another question. What's up with his body?
I mean, he met Goku 3 years before he married Chichi. Now Goku's a Grandfather and Chiaotzu looks exactly the same as when he was introduced.
A few of you might be thinking - he's might be a psychic projection sustained by Tien himself. A lot of you are probably chiming up to say - Chioatzu is a Chinese Vampire.
That's not what I'm saying.
My theory has always been that Chiaotzu is a homunculus.
If you don't know, Tien started as a villain. He would go to extremes to prove he was the strongest. He entered the Tenkaichi Tournament and had no qualms about crippling his opponents. If the rules allowed, there's no doubt, he would have killed them. You see the Crane school had one other outstanding member, "Mercenary Tao" a world famous assassin. Tien was training to be the greatest Assassin in the world.
Now, think about Chiaotzu's skills. He can communicate telepathically with Tien. He can use his Psychic powers to block bullets, hurl objects, or hold a person in place. His signature attack is the Dodon Ray, it's like an assassin's bullet. Plus, he's got an suicide attack as a last resort. Plus, he's tiny, and he can fly. And he looks like a small, unassuming Child.
The perfect tool for an Assassin.
Add to that, that now we know, the Crane school had no qualms about dealing with the dark arts, as exemplified by Yurin's talisman magic.
My theory is that to increase his chances of success, a young Tienshinan used the Dark Arts of the Crane School to craft a perfect Assassin's tool. Going to extremes and not being hampered by breaking a few laws, he might have started with the dead body of a young boy (maybe he killed him himself) and resurrected him as a living weapon who's mind is totally devoted to him.
Of course, Tien had a dramatic change in his course in life. He left behind the Assasin's road to travel an honorable path. And Chiaotzu and him are enjoying life.
But what I can't help but wonder is what will happen to Chiaotzu after Tien finally passes? Will he find another fighter to glom on to? Will he finally find a life for himself? Or will he stand by Tien's grave still devoted to his master?
Chances are - we'll never know. But we can theorize about it.
