'''Chai''' is a [[peppy]] [[elephant]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}}. She first appeared in {{NLWa}} and has appeared in all subsequent games.

Chai is a blue elephant with a pink teacup on her head and yellow tips on her trunk, feet, and hands, as well as a white belly, hair, and eyelids. Her eyes feature cross-eyed blue pupils, which become smaller when she's shocked. She has Cinnamoroll on her shirt, the Sanrio character her design is based on. Chai and [[Tia]] are both elephant villagers based on {{Wp|teaware}}.

Chai is a peppy villager, which means she will appear over-excited to see the player and most other villagers. Like all peppy villagers, she will appear childish and immature, usually asking the player for items they want. She will enjoy the usual hobbies and will tell the player that when she is bug catching, she is looking for a particular bug that may look nice in her home. She will get along well with other villagers, particularly the lazy, normal, big sister, smug and other peppy villagers, but she may annoy and upset cranky and snooty villagers who are known to appear older than other villagers. Due to the honest nature of peppy villagers, she may mention how "old" or "boring" they are due to her opposing, upbeat personality. She will easily get upset in conversation when it is not going her way, but will forget ever having the conversation due to her short attention span.

In {{NLWa}}, Chai can only move to the player's town if her [[amiibo|amiibo card]] is scanned.
