Chie Mochizuki

Appearance
Chie is a short, sweet-looking girl with a wavy, chin-length plum-colored hair. She light salmon pink eyes, as well as freckles over her nose and has a beauty mark at the bottom left corner of her mouth. Her default outfit consists of black overall shorts over a white sweater as well as Mary Janes shows and folded white socks underneath.

Personality
Soft-spoken, gentle, and polite, Chie is a demure girl who appears reserved and fragile to most around her. Though she tends to be easily nervous and skeptical, she can also be determined and stubborn down to her core when it comes to both her goals and grudges. Underneath her sweet and delicate personality, however, is a surprisingly short temper and a foul mouth that greatly contrasts her cute appearance, typically revealing itself in what can be described as childish temper tantrums.

Occasionally, Chie's hometown dialect slips out in conversation despite her best attempts to hide it, causing her to get embarrassed about it easily.

Background
Having grown up in a hometown filled with elderly farmers and failing businesses left and right, Chie had no prior goals in her life besides helping with her family's failing apple farm. After a travelling theatre troupe performed in her area, she found a dream that she wanted to pursue. With the help of the money her parents had saved up for her, she moved in with her relatives in Veludo with the intent of becoming like the actress she saw that fateful spring day.
