Chiana
Chiana
(played by Gigi Edgley) is a Nebari, a race of people who force control
on their people by use of a technology that inhibits emotions. She
comes aboard Moya as a prisoner of this technology, and convinces the
crew that she has committed no crime. Though she intended to leave Moya
immediately, she stayed on as a permanent crewmember, and became
indispensible. Chiana, because of the inhibitions usually placed on her
people, and also because of her age, is very childish, often wild, and
very sexual, taking great pleasure in love and affection. She is very
catlike, possessing the ability to leap twice her height, and she
rarely stops moving for any reason. She almost never sits, instead
preferring to croush on top of things. She considers John as an older
brother, a feeling he reciprocates (he even nicknames her Pip), and
even though she has a huge crush on him, she never truly acts on it,
knowing that he would never want her. Chiana is a liar, a thief and a
cheat, and though she would never do anything to hurt the people she
cares about, her emotions often take control and she often does
extremely stupid things. Nevertheless, Chiana proves herself valuable
to the crew time and time again, although Crichton, D'Argo and Aeryn
never truly trust her abilities.
