Confession: I was holding my breath waiting for you to read this... Now I can let it go, in relief, since I seem not to have upset our resident Chiana expert! ;-)
Jokes aside, she is such a fascinating character, that studying her was a great experience.
she is contradictory but never ceases to be Chi. Somehow she can be at once selfish and selfless, violent and gentle, innocent and vulgar
Agreed. And she is like this - IMHO - because she doesn't perceive attitudes as "good" and "bad", those are terms that have little or no meaning to her. For someone so... thirsty for experiences, everything must be tasted at least once, and savored in all its flavors.
There is an innocence in her approach to life that puzzles others only because they seem to have lost that ability. Indeed she is NOT childish, but she has retained that childhood way of looking at the world: without preconceptions or prejudices, just a like a child opening its eyes for the first time, hungry for experience.
