This article covers a subject from a Star Wars: Visions story that Lucasfilm declared is set in an alternate history within a reimagined galaxy.

"The news isn't for facts, dear. It's for feelings. It's to our benefit to know how the people feel—and how they've been told to."
―Chie, to Ekiya[1]

Chie was a female individual who was an aunty by the time that twenty years had passed since the Sith rebellion. She worked as a bounty hunter and claimed to only take jobs that involved fighting Jedi knights. As a believer in the gods and the Force, she was opposed to any being who used the Force for selfish ends, whether Jedi or Sith. When she journeyed with the Traveler and Ekiya on the latter's starship, the Poor Crow, Chie was secretly spying on behalf of the Traveler's former master, the Jedi lord Hanrai.[1]

Behind the scenes

Chie appeared in the 2021 non-canon novel Ronin: A Visions Novel, by Emma Mieko Candon.[1] Like all names in the novel, Chie's name is comprised of phonemes used in the Japanese language.[2] Candon likened the character to a Buddhist nun, the legendary creature tengu and Benkei,[3] a historical warrior-monk popular in Japanese history and storytelling.[4]

In that sense, you can also see a touch of tengu in her whole deal. A master warrior in her own right, one who has some opinions about the way certain other warriors carry themselves. 22/" (backup link)
