==Story arc==
===Her Reasons===
Chickadee can first be seen at Alexandria's side when the commander of Colony Iota ambushes the party at Dies Arch. Chickadee doesn't fight, and waits for Alexandria at the top of the arch. When the skirmish comes to an end, Alexandria retreats and watches the party from above. Recognizing Colony Iota's commander, Mio comments on Alexandria's reputation. Chickadee immediately jumps to her defense and insults the party in return. After they escape, Chickadee goes back to Colony Iota with Alexandria.
She is next seen after the defeat of Consul E, as she runs to Alexandria to express how stressful her plan to use Ouroboros to take down the Consul was. Alexandria apologises, and Chickadee explains to the party how they were tricked into this fight by Alexandria. Taion disapproves of the strategy, pointing out the sacrifices Colony Iota made to reach that point may not have been necessary. Alexandria retorts her methods were faster, and that victory requires sacrifice. Noticing the rift between Alexandria and the party, Chickadee intervenes and offers them to look around the colony to see for themselves how things are here. 
As they watch soldiers at work from a vantage point in the colony, Chickadee explains that Colony Iota's methods are to use a minimum of people to achieve maximum results, and how they use the Collectopaedia Cards to their advantage for such goals. Eventually, Noah accepts to help them and to destroy the Flame Clock. They all head for the Colony Iota Ferronis, where Alexandria reluctantly reveals she is in her sixth term and that it is kept a secret from everyone but her team chiefs and Chickadee. The lieutenant elaborates in her place on how she thinks she looks too young and uses cosmetic to look older and give herself an air of authority fit to her commander role.
===Harvest Day===
It is Harvest Day in Colony Iota, a monthly event rewarding soldiers for their hard work. Chickadee is handing over Harvest Day Tiaras to the chosen ones. When Misaka doesn't show up as she is called to receive her tiara, the party offers Chickadee to look for her while she carries on with the celebration. Chickadee entrusts them with Misaka's Harvest Day Tiara, which is safely delivered to its new owner.
===Inescapable Past===
Gambert comes to Chickadee to ask her to convince Alexandria to allow him to hold a tech summit with Colony 30. Chickadee tries to explain him there is no way the commander would accept, when Alexandria notices them and joins the conversation herself. To their surprise, Alexandria accepts the idea. Chickadee explains to the party how Colony 30 once crushed Colony Iota in battle, leaving Colony Iota, and especially Alexandria, with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Chickadee then leaves to contact Colony 30 and inform them of Alexandria's visit.
===Alexandria's Birthday===
Chickadee goes to Yunnae's Rise, where she keeps a secret: White Millica flowers blooming there. She wants to pick up some of these flowers for Alexandria's birthday, because they carry the symbolism of revealing secrets. She is hoping the gift will give Alexandria the push she needs to open up to others. But at Yunnae's Rise, she is cornered by Ferises, and saved by the timely arrival of Alexandria and the party. Chickadee gives Alexandria her present, and the commander rewards her by revealing some of her secrets and asking her to share her real age and birthday with the rest of the colony.
