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 only understanding of the world comes from the rumors in her hometown. She joined the company with the dream 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 and plum-colored hair as well as 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 yet reliable girl with a gentle and honest heart. While she is prone to doubting herself easily, she is also hard-working and outright stubborn when it comes to her ambitions, always seeing her goals to the end. Her headstrong nature combined with her upbringing causes her to misunderstand people's intentions and behaviors often, making her seem more pessimistic than she actually is. Because of this, she also has a tendency to hold grudges against people for long periods of time, especially those who she thinks look down on her.

Contrasting her cute appearance, Chie has a surprisingly short temper and a foul mouth that reveals itself through her occasional snarky remarks or temper tantrums. She thinks before she acts, often ending her sentences with “I think” or “maybe” and speaking slowly to appear unassertive and keep certain aspects of herself in control. Although she avoids lying, she instead tends to withdraw her frustrations and refrain from direct confrontation as much as she can. Despite this, she may blurt out her genuine thoughts and comments if provoked enough to do so.

Background
Raised in a hometown filled with elderly farmers and a struggling family business, Chie had no prior goals for herself besides supporting her parent's apple farm. After a travelling theatre troupe performed a rendition of Snow White in her area, however, she finally found something to desire. With the help and support of her parents, she moved in with her relatives in Veludo Way with the intention of becoming as skilled as the actors she saw that fateful spring day. Still, it seems that the cost to fulfill her dream is more expensive than she thinks.
