Unfortunately there is...no consistent guide anywhere for this series so I did a write-up of my own here. I posted it separately to save space because it's a lot. :'D
Personality: Chise is definitely not an average young girl and it's not just because of the magical aspect of her life. Because of the tragic events of her childhood, Chise was raised in a world where she was treated like something horrible and disgusting and this heavily influenced her own view of herself while she was growing. She sees herself as a burden to others which is why she stays quiet more than speaking out and giving her opinion on things. She also sees herself as very selfish because she does things for the people she cares about because it makes her happy to see them happy--and somewhere along the way this translated to being selfish in her head. Chise does her best to just be an obedient child, doing whatever others say and doing what she can to appease them even if it never works.
Once she's in an environment where she's able to flourish, Chise starts to show who she really is.
Underneath the quiet and obedient girl is one that is very determined to prove herself and what she can do. She's much smarter than anyone ever gave her credit for and she proves to be a very quick learner when it comes to magic. Everything that Elias tasks her with learning she takes on and throws herself into without hesitation. It doesn't matter the size of the challenge or how foreboding it may seem in general. She's very good at finding a way around anything that may prove to be a hurdle and analyzes everything about the situation she's in before acting. Most of the time.
Without people there blocking her every move and cutting her down when she attempts to do things, Chise proves to be very impulsive in certain situations, acting on emotion more often than not. She cares deeply for her new little family and will not hesitant to protect them however she can, even if it means putting herself into danger. But this desire does go beyond her new family sometimes, especially once she starts to feel for them as seen when she shoved Alice out of the way, someone she barely knew, and took a potentially fatal blow for her. She can also be quite impulsive when it comes to her magic. Chise has been warned many times over that overuse of her powers will effect her lifespan and her energy but she will still use it on a whim when someone needs help or protecting. Whether it's saving two spirits from disappearing forever or protecting Elias, her power is great and very, very draining on the young girl. Despite the dangers of it, she's not going to stop anytime soon. Sorry, Elias.
With this impulsiveness comes a quick-temper right on its heels that is usually one of the driving forces of her impulsive actions. She's starting to really connect the dots as to what angers and upsets her and she reacts the way she thinks is appropriate. A lot of the time this means doing something very big and very dangerous but, hey, that's what you're suppose to do when you're mad, right? She's still learning how to use restraint when it comes to her temper and it's probably going to take quite awhile before she can fully reign it in once she snaps. Until then, she's going to continue to take on individuals like The Wandering Jew, whom is easily more powerful than her, simply because he was a terrible person and threatened her friends and family.
As seen when Renfred and Alice attempted to sway her away from Elias, Chise has proven to be quite loyal to the oddity of a being. He is the first person to ever give her a chance, give her a real purpose in life and that alone makes her loyal to him. It doesn't matter to her that he lied about his intentions for her nor does it matter to her that he could very easily kill her any day. He looked at her as something more than an object. He gave her a home. He gave her things that no one since her parents had ever given her. Her life feels more complete now more than it ever has and she will never betray him. It comes up again when Angelica mentions that she doesn't have to do or say things just because it's what Elias may want her to and Chise responds that what matters most to her is making him happy. To making sure she doesn't, essentially, look a gift horse in the mouth since he saved her life. She does start to grow past this, start to realizing that she can be more than just subservient (though she struggles with it because she sees it as being selfish in a way) and is slowly starting to be more vocal about things and question the things that Elias says and does.
Now while there have been quite a few negative things to come with her learning to let her emotions go, there have been some good things. One of these good ones comes in the form of curiosity which Chise has in abundance. She doesn't hesitate to question things and ask every new person she meets questions, wanting to learn more about them and what they can do. The world was never really open to her to explore and learn about because of how stifling her family was as she was passed around and now, with a whole new world to explore as well, Chise is a little bit overwhelmed and blown away at times. She manages to keep it inside when she experiences something beyond her imagination, opting for a more neutral stance most of the time, but every now and then true child like wonder will shine through. (Such as when she met the dragons. Nothing could have stopped her from being bright eyed in their presence.)
Something that takes a little longer to show itself in full is just how much Chise cares for those around her, whether they are apart of her new family or just an outsider. At first, she does what she's told, what Elias wants of her, because that's what's always been expected but along the way she starts to learn more about him and begins to show concern for him. He's very secretive which worries Chise and it makes her keep a close eye on him which helps her learn how to read his rather inexpressive face. Anytime something happens to him she reacts with worry, checking him over for wounds or demanding that he tell her how he's doing. From there her natural need to mother hen those around her starts to show as she shows compassion for spirits that are involved in a job they go out on, instant love for the King of Cats and a deep concern and immediate sort of love for the grim she meets in the graveyard. Each individual that ends up on the receiving end of her concern will have it for as long as they are involved in her life and she will not forget them, seeing every memory she has of her friends and family as the most important things in her life.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Breeder Starter: Litwick I would like to have Chise start with a Litwick because each Pokedex entry describes it as a seemingly helpful creature that is, in reality, attempting to lure people and Pokemon into the Ghost World. This is very similar to the Will-o'-the-Wisps and other Fae in Chise's canon and how they attempt to sweet talk and lure individuals into the Faerie World. (Chise herself was almost tricked by a trio of Faeries after she first moved in with Elias and later became good friends with one of the little Fae.) Considering Chise is a Sleigh Buggy back hope and magical beings of all types are naturally drawn to her, I feel like a Litwick would just be instinctively drawn to her presence as well and would be a good starter for her/end up protective of her because hey that's THEIR strange human okay!

Victory Road Sample: Could someone explain something to me. Can the faeries here be trusted? Why does the Pokedex say that ghosts are the ones that will trick you and lure you away?
Where I'm from fae creatures are the ones you can't trust.
[She knows from first hand experience.
Attached is a picture of a Litwick that looks rather pleased with life, the universe and everything, staring at the camera--or maybe it's whoever's behind the camera that the little ghost is staring at--like it's looking at the best prize in the world.]
Is the Pokedex absolutely correct? Or is it possible this is a fae creature? It acts like that. And apparently they try to lure people to their 'Ghost World'.
Sounds a lot like Jade Ariel and her friends from home.
