Chen

Chen is character from the Touhou series. She primarily featured in the second stage and extra stage of Perfect Cherry Blossom.
==Bio==
A bakeneko, Chen serves as a shikigami (essentially a type of familiar) to Ran Yakumo, who herself is a shikigami to Yukari Yakumo. She has the mind of an older child and isn't much of a threat by herself, but gains fearsome power when 'possessed' by the nearby presence of her master. This link weakens the further she is away from Ran, and splashing her with water likewise reduces her abilities to scratching and biting.
She somehow appears to have been taken in by Clown and acquired his powers of the Honk prior to her first appearance in the mania. This transformed her into a rather cocky little thing which only communicates through an unending stream of repeated, nerve-wracking Honks. This - and the seemingly superhuman powers which the Honk unleashed in her - lead to no small amount of frustration in those who had to fight her.
==In 8chanmania==
===Season 1===
Chen's first debuted in 8chanmania XIV, although nothing beyond her making it through the nominations has survived.
During 8chanmania XX, Chen teamed up with her new master Clown. The honking couple defeated:
*Executioner Smough & Dragonslayer Ornstein
*Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold
*Avenger Angra Mainyu & Bazett Fraga McRemitz
*Waluigi & Wario
Before being silenced by Peacock and Big Band in the finals.
She returned yet again for 8chanmania XXV. She started the tournament against badly hung-over Suika Ibuki, whom she managed to beat despite of the Oni's fabled physical strength. She later would notably fight and defeat the dreaded Scuttlebug, before performing a successful pinfall against Kazuma Kiryu and winning the belt of 8chanmania XXV.
As one of the champions, Chen was granted access to the finals of 8chanmania XXXIII. There, she mercifully managed to take out the overpowered munchkin edit named Nidorina, and likewise slapped away the Hands of Evil. Unfortunately, she didn't made it past the quarter-finals after having a run-in with Brendan Fraser.
===Losing the Honk===
While it is unknown whether Chen acquired the powers of the Honk from Clown directly or by some other means, the latter nonetheless (re?)absorbed them from the cat at some point prior to 8chanmania x MFW - IN/V/ASION. She currently is feverishly trying to reclaim it, but at the same time, the return of her natural instincts as a shikigami means she feels the growing urge to return to her master, Ran Yakumo.
===Season 2===
Ever the fan favorite, Chen was instantly nominated for 8chanmania XXXIV. The good honk she gave Rin Tezuka sadly was utterly ineffective on Big Mahu.
When Hatsune Miku tried to take over the mania 8chanmania LXIII, Chen volunteered to be one of her champions. she successfully fought and bested Reimu Hakurei in the preliminaries, but drew the short end of the stick against Renne Bright in the next round. For what little it is worth, them being on the same team meant it wasn't too much of a loss..
Chen finally was reunited with her master Ran Yakumo in 8chanmania LXV, but their reunion was of a short nature, as the shikigami family was defeated by Ankha and Pikachu Libre.
===Season 3===
Chen's first honk in 8chanmania's third season took place in 8chanmania LXXIII. She neatly KO'd full-time pervert Stork after the latter voiced interest in the breasts of her master/mommy Ran Yakumo and successfully managed not to trip on Stairs-chan, but did not know da wey of Ugandan Knuckles.
===8chanmania C===
During 8chanmania C, Chen formed a team with Rudy the Clown, Clown (Female), and Chen_(♂) in order to participate in the Battle of the Honk. They fought and unfortunately lost against the enemy team, consisting of Clown, Fargus, Pietro, and Clown Man.
==Trivia==
*Chen's "Honk" version is based upon a 4koma by the artist Bkup. Her "Non-Honk" version appears to be more akin to her usual Touhou character. As of 8chanmania LXXIII, Bkup Chen is regular Chen's Stand.
* While Chen technically is part of the Yakumo household, she (unlike Ran Yakumo) has seemingly not yet earned the right to use this last name. Alternatively, her absence of a last name may stem from Yukari Yakumo seeing Chen as little more than a pet that doesn't need one (as opposed to Ran, who acts as her right-hand woman and representative).
