Just had to jump in here and say Chiana is my FAVORITE, for some of the reasons you mention. At the end of the day, though I'd like to think I am a super-competent badass like Aeryn or a compassionate revolutionary like Zhaan, the fact is, I'm Chiana through and through: still figuring shit out, kinda weird, totally sexual but not totally sure where I put my heart. She is particularly like me as a teenager, but I retain a lot of her qualities down deep.
