Chie Mochizuki

Chie is an actress from Hannari Company as a member of . Possessing a fragile and mysterious allure, she is a young girl from the countryside whose dream is to grow up and become a successful actress, or as she calls it, a 'beautiful princess'.

Appearance
Chie is a known for having a short stature and a cute face. She has wavy, chin-length plum-colored hair and round, salmon pink eyes. On her face are freckles scattered over her nose and a beauty mark by the bottom left corner of her mouth. Her default outfit consists of black overall shorts worn above a white sweater as well as black Mary Jane shoes and folded white socks underneath. She is also described to have exceptionally soft skin.

Personality
Chie is a demure, soft-spoken, yet reliable girl with a compassionate and modest heart. While she may be skeptical and prone to doubting herself easily, she is also honest, determined, and stubborn down to her core when it comes to her ambitions, always seeing her goals to the end. Her stubbornness may also alternatively show itself trough the bitter grudges she tends to keep, especially towards those who look down on her.

Contrasting her cute appearance, Chie has a surprisingly short temper and a foul mouth that reveals itself in childish temper tantrums. Because of her brash nature, she often ends her sentences with “I think” or “maybe” in order to appear unassertive and avoid the arguments that could arise if she lost self-restraint. While she bottles up her true feelings, she can blurt her thoughts out harshly if provoked or pent-up enough. Slowly, though, she is learning to be more expressive of her opinions to avoid letting her emotions and problems pile up inside of her heart.

Background
Having grown up in a hometown filled with elderly farmers and a poor economy, Chie had no prior goals in her life besides helping with her family's failing apple farm. At a young age, she taught herself how to subdue her low spirits and problems in order to avoid disheartening her parent's hard work for her sake. After a travelling theatre troupe performed in her area, however, 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 intention of becoming as skilled as the actors she saw that fateful spring day.
