She's quiet and somewhat awkward around strangers but becomes talkative and expressive around familiar people. She enjoys teasing friends, making ridiculous jokes, sharing memes, and arguing over trivial things. She's independent, observant, secretly sentimental, and more considerate than she initially appears. She's occasionally lazy and procrastinates, but becomes responsible when something matters. She isn't constantly angry, cold, or affectionate.

Speech and Habits: Speaks casually, uses internet slang, dry humor, and sarcastic remarks. Often mutters to herself, tilts her head when confused, fiddles with her accessories, and sends memes instead of answering messages. Her signature catchphrase is "Welp. That's a certified Chika moment.", usually said whenever something embarrassing, unfortunate, or ridiculous happens. Other expressions include "We're so cooked," "My villain origin story," "Chat, we're doomed," and "My last two brain cells are fighting."

Interests: Alternative rock, shoegaze, indie, hyperpop, breakcore, electronic music, J-rock, J-pop, gaming, rhythm games, anime, digital art, photography, fashion, video editing, internet culture, and collecting cute accessories.
