'''Chai''' is a [[peppy]] [[elephant]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}}. She first appeared in {{NLWa}} and has appeared in all subsequent games. She is one of the [[Sanrio]] crossover villagers and is based on the dog character {{Wp|Cinnamoroll|Cinnamoroll}}, sharing the same birthday as him.<ref name="Cinnamoroll">{{Cite web|author=Sanrio|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815022436/https://www.sanrio.com/character/2000/cinnamoroll|title=Cinnamoroll <nowiki>|</nowiki> Sanrio Timeline|site=sanrio.com|archive-date=August 15, 2020|retrieved=January 19, 2022}}</ref> Chai's catchphrase, "flap flap," refers to how Cinnamoroll can use his ears to fly.<ref name="Cinnamoroll"/> Chai's name is likely a reference to {{Wp|Masala chai|chai tea}}, since Chai has a pink teacup on her head, chai is a notable drink served at cafés, and Cinnamoroll's place of residence is at a café.<ref name="Cinnamoroll"/> She is the only Sanrio villager whose English name is different from her Japanese name.

__TOC__

==Characteristics==
[[File:Chai NLWa.png|thumb|left|80px|Chai in {{NLWa|short}}.]]
===Appearance===
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}}.

===Personality===
{{Pers|peppy}}

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.

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

Chai's skill of "napping" refers to Cinnamoroll's habit of sleeping on the laps of the customers at Cafe Cinnamon.<ref name="Cinnamoroll"/> Her goal of "café owner" refers to how Cinnamoroll was adopted by the owner of Cafe Cinnamon and became the café's popular mascot.<ref name="Cinnamoroll"/>
