Chimi is one of the three titular tritagonists of Maya and the Three. She is a master archer from the Jungle Lands and believed to be the Skull Archer from the purported Teca prophecy.
Born an albino, Chimi was ostracised from her community on account of her appearance and came to be known as El Monstruo Blanco or the White Monster. These experiences caused her to be extremely mistrustful of humans. However, this attitude of hers changed when she encountered Rico and Maya risking their lives for her. She later began a relationship with Rico and had four children with him.
She is voiced by Stephanie Beatriz, who also voiced Batwoman in Catwoman: Hunted, Gertie in Ice Age: Collision Course, Gosalyn Waddlemeyer in DuckTales (2017), Mirabel Madrigal in Encanto, Nimue in Tales of Arcadia, Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Sweet Mayhem in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, and Vaggie from Hazbin Hotel.
History[]
Background[]
Chimi's mother passed away giving birth to her. Being an albino, everyone in the Jungle Lands thought she was a curse and abandoned her in the deepest part of the jungle. She was about to be attacked by a snake when Monkey and the other jungle creatures intervened and saved her life. They accepted her and took her in as part of their family. When she was a toddler, she attempted to make peace with the jungle lands, but people were afraid of her and called her el monstruo Blanco and attack her. She would then grow to be the most skilled archer in all the Jungle Lands. One day, she entered an archery championship organised by the Jungle Lands king to find new archer for his army. Chimi, being the best archer, easily won the championship and once she took off her mask, the jungle kingdom was shocked to see her and the archers prepare to shoot her until the king told them not to and was chosen by the king to be part of his army, being awarded with a giant golden bow from Teca. When the jungle lands king called her his pet, Chimi angrly growled and punched the king, knocking him to the ground, much to the jungle lands shock. The moon had turned grey and the king called her a curse, to which she did not care and took the bow with her and left. Unknown to her, the jungle lands king had ordered his archers to set fire to the jungle, despite his daughter the widow queen's pleas him not to. China's adopted animal had died during the fire, including Monkey who had raised her as his own. Heartbroken, Chimi stayed over the bodies of his friends, crying bitterly. She is shown to be incredibly loyal to those she calls her pack.
Physical Description[]
As a child, Chimi was born with albinism, a thing that was consider unusual between mesoamerican natives and inside the narrative of the story, she has red eyes and short white hair with a fair skin complexion. As she grew older, her hair is tied into two pigtails
Chimi grows up to be a slender young woman with albinism, red eyes, and white hair. She wears a standard archers attire, and carries around a bow and arrow everywhere she goes. Chimi is seen to have painted make-up on her face that resembles the Goddess of Death, Lady Micte, as she wears black paint around her eyes with five yellow dots under and above her eyelid, red lipstick, light teal patterns around the black paint with yellow dots as well, and black swirls on her cheek and forehead. She also has black lines over and in the corner of her lips.
Personality[]
Chimi was severely discriminated against by humans from the very moment of her birth. Her mother, the only one who was happy to see her, died soon after she was born, and the villagers blamed her albinism as being the cause for her death. As a result, they abandoned Chimi in the forest. She was about to be killed by a snake, when the forest animals intervened. They took her in as one of their own. As a result, Chimi developed a very strong connection with animals, being able to understand their language. Chimi also developed an obsession with the Goddess of Death, believing that through her, she would get to see her mother again.
Chimi's animal family was killed in a fire by the jungle lands king after Chimi angrily punched him for calling her his favorite pet and took a golden bow made from Tecas , the enraged king had ordered his archers to burn down the jungle, while his daughter the widow queen pleaded him not to. Chimi grew even more morose and withdrawn and started to immensely distrust and dislike humans, often shooting arrows at any human who dared to come near her tree. Even after meeting Maya, she told her very matter-of-factly that if she was lying about meeting Lady Micte, Chimi would kill her. She also rebuffed Rico's advances towards her. However she began to trust humans after seeing Rico, Chiapa, and Maya risking their lives for her. Because of this she warmed up to Maya, and others. After the battle of Mictlan, Chimi was reunited with her mother and her adoptive monkey and animals. Years later, Chimi married Rico and the two had four kids.
