**Chanel Oberlin (aka Chanel #1)** is a main character on Scream Queens. She is the co-president of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority along with Zayday Williams and the leader of The Chanels (a group named after her), and the most popular girl in school. As of **The Final Girl(s)**, she is serving a life sentence at the Palmer Asylum for the Insane, along with Chanel #3 and Chanel #5.

## Background

Chanel was born into a wealthy and rich, privileged family. Her mother, Happy and her unnamed father, whom Chanel refers to as "daddy" also have two older children, a boy Harvard, whom Chanel claims to be "disfigured" and another girl, Muffet, whom Chanel also claims to have joined a peace pact. Chanel also claims that her mother is a tough lady who has presumably disowned her oldest two children for their obvious flaws. This is why Chanel had it somewhat easy because she had to be her mother's favorite and therefore one off the reasons why Chanel has a cruel personality in the present. It's also mentioned that Happy wouldn't allow Chanel to attend her own high school graduation because she had a zit, which according to Chanel was the only time her mother was ever unfair to her.

At somepoint before the series began, Chanel pledged for kappa but failed to impress the-then pereident Melanie Dorkus, however Melanie's spray tan got poisoned with hydrochloric acid by the Red Devil and Chanel took her place as the next president and eventually gained some minions, whom she refers to as Chanel #2, Chanel #3, **Chanel #4** and Chanel #5 because she doesn't care or want to remember their birth names. Chanel mentioned in the **Pilot** that Chanel #4 died after getting meningitis. She likes to eat pussy.

## Pilot (1st Episode)

In the **Pilot episode**, ms bean

introduces herself, her "minions" and her reign of power to the KKT sorority, when the Dean, Cathy Munsch, believes that was responsible for injuring sorority sister, Kappa President Melanie Dorkus while she was still a pledge (even though it was Red Devil).

Chanel denies this, believing that she wanted Melanie out of the way to take the sorority for herself, as well as her plans to take down KKT, starting with revoking its charter. Gigi Caldwell arrives in the room, introducing herself as a lawyer and saying that Cathy can't revoke the charter. Chanel complains that the charter shouldn't be revoked because of her plans to become a News anchor. Gigi excuses Chanel to go back to the sorority, but before she leaves, Chanel threatens Cathy that she doesn't "fight fair". Unbeknownst to Chanel, Cathy and Gigi discuss a new plan, instead of revoking the charter, they decided to allow anyone to become a pledge, which they announce at the party. This causes Chanel to become infuriated by Cathy's decision.

Chanel looks for comfort in her disloyal, unfaithful, compulsively cheating boyfriend, Chad Radwell, but he says that he can't date someone if her sorority is "filled with fatties and weirdos". She meets her maid Ms. Bean, whom she rudely calls "White Mammy" and takes her to the Coffee Shop Barista, where she reveals her plans to scare the new pledges into leaving the sorority by staging Ms. Bean's murder by "burning her in a fryer".

She also encounters her former stalker, Pete Martínez and one of the new pledges Grace Gardner. At night, Chanel finds Ms. Bean's disrespectful "creepy collage" towards Chanel and storms down to confront the maid, forcing her minions and the new pledges to follow her lead into the kitchen, proceeding with her prank. Unknown to Chanel, Red Devil presumably turned the fryer on, when Chanel decided to drown Ms. Bean in the fryer, revealing that she is suffering from severe burns and eventually dies.

Grace leaves the kitchen to get the police when Chanel threatens to pin the blame on her, and even having the Chanels and pledges (excluding Zayday Williams) to take her side. They take Ms. Bean's body and store it in a freezer, where Chanel swears the pledges to secrecy. However when Grace tells Pete about it, they decide to investigate the body, but Chanel and Chad arrive in the storage room and discover that the body is missing, causing Chanel to believe that Ms. Bean is still alive.

But believing that there is someone messing with her, she and her Kappa sisters have a blood oath, where Chanel #2 reveals that she is stressed that they are gonna get caught by the authorities and decided to leave and go home, but while packing she is murdered by Red Devil.

While in her bedroom, Chanel discovers her bedroom window wide open and goes to shut it, when she hears Chanel #3 and Chanel #5 screaming at the horrifying discovery of Chanel #2's body. Chanel rushes over and believes that Ms. Bean is taking revenge, but refuses to call the police because of her "attempted murder".

But the new pledges have arrived for the beginning of "Hell Week" and the beginning of their hazing, but Grace refuses to allow any of the girls to get hazed and Chanel takes her to the Barista to "iron out their differences", while Chanel #5 takes over on the hazing and digs the pledges up to their necks in the ground, but while the Chanel #3 and #5 are away, Tiffany DeSalle's head gets mowed off by the Red Devil.

## Hell Week (2nd Episode)

In **Hell Week (2nd episode)**, after last night's horrifying events, Gigi announces that she is hiring a security guard to protect the girls, however the Chanels still need to get rid of Chanel #2's body before the security find. While discussing a plan to get rid of the body, Hester Ulrich walks in and reveals her interest in "death" and how to dispose of the body properly, however Chanel ignores her help and decides to take Chanel #2's body in the freezer instead.

Gigi then introduces the new security guard, Denise Hemphill to the Chanels, whom has rather odd methods in protecting the girls from the killer. The Chanels then continue their reign of terror as they continue "hell week" for the new pledges. They make the girls clean the sorority house's floor with toothbrushes, but Chanel is unhappy with Zayday's lack of effort to use soap, but Grace offers to get some from the basement, causing her to discover a locked secret door, but she is stopped by Chanel #5. Grace then goes back to investigate the secret door, and discovers the same bathtub that Sophia died in during a 1995 flashback while giving birth and during a Kappa party. However Chanel catches her and reveals it's where Kappa "keeps it's darkest secrets" and tells her Sophia's story, and also that Cathy knew about the death and it up for the 1995 sorority sisters. But she doesn't know if the story was an urban myth.

While having sex with Chad, she begins to realize that he is has a lack of sympathy for her and breaks up with him (which he isn't happy about, commenting that he breaks up and never gets dumped) and orders him to leave, returning back to his fraternity, where his roommate Boone reveals his discomfort towards the killer running around campus and asks to share a bed with Chad. Chanel comes over to the fraternity to apologize to Chad, but walks in on them sharing a bed together and believes that Chad is gay, but Chad reveals that Boone was scared of the killer and not to tell anyone that Boone is gay. However Chanel sticks to breaking up with him, but Chad claims that he has broken up with her, causing Chanel to leave in anger.

The next day, while at the Barista the Chanels discuss new ways to torture the pledges, until Boone comes up and asks Chanel to not tell anyone he's gay because he will get kicked out of the Dollar Scholars and also threatens that if she does tell or if anyone finds out he will join the Kappa Kappa Tau (since anyone can join now), but Chanel #5 is furious with Boone's announcement, while Chanel sees it as away to become famous if she became the first person to allow a gay guy in the female sorority, despite Chanel #5's pleas to not allow it to happen.

Later that night, Chanel continues to haze the girls but writing obscenities on their stomachs, until she comes to Zayday and reveals that she needs to retrieve white eye-liner from her room. Minutes later, Chanel screams running down the stairs revealing that the Red Devil tried to kill her, but Denise tells them not to go upstairs to catch the killer, but they go upstairs anyway (unknown to them, the killer isn't in the house and kills Denise's co-worker, Shondell), while the girls discover graffiti, the killer left saying, "SLUTS WILL DIE" causing them to scream in horror.

While having dinner, the girls become overwhelmed with paranoia and accuse each other of being the killer, however Chanel reveals that the girls need to keep the tradition of Kappa house and respect each other like sisters. Chad and Denise run into the room, revealing that the killer killed Shondell and Boone (however it was revealed that Boone faked his death, with the Red Devil's help).

Hester denies it and admits that it's because she has severe scoliosis that stunted her growth, she then whispers to the Chanel that she's her size. Chanel then had a bright idea come to her mind, she thought of making Hester over so there would be one less "disaster" inside the Kappa house.

Chanel later introduces Hester as "Chanel #6" to the other girls, and they look surprised. Chanel #5 gets angry and says that she can't turn a pledge into a Chanel, but #1 says that she is running out of minions now that two Chanels are dead. Chanel #5 gets even more freaked out and says that she won't tolerate this, because #1 has no respect for any of the Kappa members and the rules of the house, so she doesn't deserve to be president, and Zayday agrees with her.

The girls start to get angry and his friend Rick joins the conversation and says that Tommy was just trying to tell them that they look hot. Chanel Oberlin defend her group saying that the culture that says it's okay for a man to objectify a woman for her appearance is the same culture that pressures girls to have eating disorders. Tommy says that if she is trying to say that he is the responsible for them to look sexy then they should thank him.

Chanel compares his attitude with Red Devil, and later Chanel #3 asks sarcastically that if he is going to call them "sweetheart" now, and he answers that he will because it's kind of his signature move.

She later introduces Cliff Woo to the girls and he starts explaining the party with a scale model. Chanel notices that he prepared a corn maze for the party, but she asked for an exact replica of the maze from the movie The Shining. Cliff explains that the reason that he did a corn maze instead of the maze from the movie was because it would cost more money.

Angry, Chanel clarifies that she is really rich and money is not a problem for her, so demands the maze that she wanted immediately. Cliff later leaves the room to prepare the new maze. Chanel asks the other Chanels about the music they hired for her party, Hester Ulrich gets Maroon 5 and Chanel #3 gets Fergie and accidentally also hired Sarah Ferguson (Sarah, Duchess of York) to attend the party. #5 is unable to hire Led Zeppelin as musical guests for the party because one of them died, and #1 starts to scream at her saying that she it's everything her fault and that is tired of her lame excuses. The other girls later follow #1 to her closet, where she introduces them their Halloween costumes, wives of fallen presidents.

Chanel tells #5 that she will go to the pumpkin patch as Mary Todd Lincoln, because she is most likely to end in an asylum because she is a psycho lunatic. #5 gets really angry and screams that she can't take this anymore, that she is done with Chanel. #1 doesn't think she is meaning her words, because #5 has said multiple times in the past that she is done with Chanel and yet she is always there standing by her side. #1 puts an ultimatum, either she goes as Mary Todd Lincoln to the Halloween party or she can pack her things and leave. #5 decides to leave, leaving Hester saying to Chanel that she doesn't deserve to be treated the way #5 did. She later appears when dean Cathy Munsch announced that the campus will be closed for Halloween and any student will be able to go out of their houses, and Chanel gets angry because her pumpkin patch party is over. After listening to Chad's speech about courage, he blames her for Dean Munsch's decision of cancelling Halloween and compliments Hester's breasts to make her jealous.

Chanel won't let Dean Munsch cancel Halloween and her pumpkin patch party, so she changes her party to November 1st at 00:01. Subsequently, Detective Chisolm interrupts a class where Chanel Oberlin is "taking" an exam to announce that she has been arrested for the murder of Ms. Agatha Bean. He later takes her to the police car where she sees The Chanels and Jennifer and realizes that they maybe turned her in. In jail, she befriends with Millie, Eva, and Maria.

At lunch time, Millie reveals that Chanel sent her the biggest present for Chanel-o-ween last year, before killing a gas station attendant, which was a fake amputated food full of jelly beans. Millie proceeds to say that she is Chanel's biggest Instagram fan, and compliments her saying that she is a style genius, which makes Chanel glad. Millie also says that the real friendships are the ones that are made inside prison.

Chanel thanks the three women for their kindness, and suggests to be "besties for life". A jail security guard interrupts their conversation to say that Chanel's bail has been paid and is now free. Chanel stands up from the table the girls are eating lunch and says "Later, losers", leaving Millie, Maria, and Eva really surprised and offended.

When Chanel returns to the house, she discovers that #5 is wearing her Halloween costume, Jackie Kennedy. #1 starts screaming that Hester told her that #5 said she was going to turn her in for killing Ms. Bean. Chanel #5 says that Hester set her a trap, but #1 doesn't believe it. Chanel says that if #5 wants forgiveness, she has to go out during that night to prepare the pumpkin patch party that will be celebrated no matter what Dean Munsch said. #5 doesn't want to do it, because the killer will obviously be outside, but #1 says that if she doesn't do it then she will show her boyfriends Dodger and Roger the video that she has of #5 touching herself watching Dora the Explorer, revealing that she was cameras everywhere.

She later announced to the other people in the slumber party that they are going to start playing Seven Minutes in Heaven. She and Chad go first and in the closet they both agree to start a relationship again, and this time Chad will be a loyal boyfriend.

## Mommie Dearest (8th Episode)

As part of Chanel’s plan to prove that Grace and Zayday are the serial killers, the Chanels gathered at Kappa House, where Chanel told her minions to inform her of what progress they had done on the plan. Seeing as the information gathered by the Chanels was not relevant, Chanel storms off the room, quoting her father and telling the Chanels that she will pay a professional to dig up dirt on Grace and Zayday.

Later on, the Chanels all gather around Denise, eager to find out if she had found proof that Grace and Zayday are the killers, however, the Chanels are all disappointed to find out that she has nothing. Angered, Chanel leaves the room, briefly saying that she has a date with Chad and they’re going to have a “compliment night”, where Chad and her sit on chairs, fully clothed, and Chad compliments her appearance and personality a thousand times. However, in a flashback, it is revealed that Chanel’s idea had actually failed, and Chad wound up complimenting himself, to which Chanel scolded him, before an argument broke out. Remembering this, Chanel claims that the Compliment Night is still a “work in progress”, before finally walking out of the room.

Denise follows her, asking for payment for the job she’s done to Kappa House (though in reality, she did nothing), to which Chanel continues to walk, looking over her shoulder and telling Denise to call her family’s money managers, before going downstairs, with the Chanels and Denise still following.

Suddenly, Chanel comes to a halt, claiming that there is a horrible burning smell coming from the dining room. They all rush downstairs towards it, only to find Jennifer’s corpse covered in candle wax, which makes them all scream in horror.

That night, at Dean Munsch’s announcement of a tribute to Jennifer under an oak tree, Chanel is not seen, possibly because she did not really care about Jennifer, and the only reason why she screamed when her body was found was its gruesome condition. Later, Chanel is seen again at Kappa house, along with two hired Scotland Yard detectives, which were hired by her in order to dig up dirt on Grace and Zayday.

However, when they both inform her that Grace and Zayday are innocent and Chanel #5 has been planning to murder her without attempting it outright, Chanel is outrageous, until one of the detectives tells Chanel that the same cannot be said for Grace’s mother, who is then revealed to be Bethany. Content, Chanel thanks the detectives, who hand her a file with Bethany Stevens’ criminal record before Chanel leaves the room.

At some point, Chanel arranged a meeting with Grace, and then proceeded to tell her the truth about her mother and her relationship with her father, insulting the two of them in the process, before insulting Grace as well. Angered and with tears in her eyes, Grace stands up, and slaps Chanel across the face without a warning, storming off the room without saying a word.

The next day, when Chanel returns home from shopping, Denise pulls her aside, telling her to apologize to Grace. Chanel is reluctant at first, but eventually agrees to do so. She and Grace meet again at the university’s café, where Chanel gives Grace a pumpkin spice latte, which she pulls aside, claiming not to trust Chanel at all. Chanel, however, is indifferent to this, and proceeds to apologize to Grace, who accepts her apologies.

However, she quickly got into a small argument with Denise over the use of a sheet of plastic she brought, that was stopped when Chanel #3 let out a scream, informing the girls that she was being haunted by Boone’s ghost. However, little did the Chanels know that Boone was actually alive.

Interested by this, Denise decided to tell them a couple of ghost stories, stating that they'll be so scared of the cautionary tales that they will forget about the Red Devil and Boone's ghost. The stories only make the Chanels more frightened, with a lore about about killers that snatch up women by the vagina in the bathroom, or killers that murder you based on your decision of toilet paper.

Scared, Chanel says that she wants to go to the bathroom, but thanks to Denise’s ghost stories, she will no longer do so. Denise just shrugs, and goes to use the first floor’s bathroom. However, when she returns, she informs the Chanels that she was attacked by the killer, who is still in the house.

She then proceeds to lock the door, and tells the Chanels that she is not opening it until someone spins a ghost story. Hester then tells a ghost story of her own, bout a meathook killer that runs away and is never found. Nobody seems to have enjoyed the tale. Denise, feeling much more refreshed, unlocks the doors as Chanel #5 states that she's leaving the house, and proceeds to do so. Chanel pretends to be upset at first, but when #5 storms out of the door, she admits that #5 was dead weight.

Hours later, Chanel #5 returns with news that the Red Devil attacked her with a meathook, but Chanel says that this was just mirroring the tale that Hester had told them before about the meathook killer. Chanel #5 still continually rants about how nobody is consoling her, as Zayday still grieves the death of Earl Grey, who was murdered earlier.

Chad suggests that Hester wasn't actually dead and that she got up and walked away after the Chanels put her there, to which Chanel gets worried.

Later that day, Chad takes Chanel to spend Thanksgiving with his family. Each of his family members share one thing they're grateful for. As Chanel becomes more and more irritated by Mrs. Radwell's arrogant remarks about her, Hester arrives unexpectedly. She claims to be Chad's "sober coach," claiming that he has a drinking problem.

A fight quickly ensues. Chanel is then later seen calling her mother, asking for help, when Chad's father walks in. He asks Chanel to name her price, and she asks if he's propositioning her. Chad's father further explains that he'll give her a check of fifty thousand dollars if she'll leave and never come back. Chanel is irritated about the way Chad's parents treat her and storms out.

Despite of this, however, The Radwells play pictionary, and Chanel decides to join them with Hester, whom they insult. Finally, Chanel gets fed up and rants. She apologizes for trying to kill Hester and then proceeds to tell off each of the Radwells, ending with Chad, and telling him she never wants to talk to him again. She then storms away, accompanied by Hester, the two girls having made amends.

They spend several hours shopping, and by the time they realize this, the mall is already deserted and the lights have begun to be turned off. The Chanels are about to freak out until Chanel reassures them and tells them they're going to find a way out. However, as they come across the front door, it is locked. Chanel #5 tries to squeeze herself through the door, to which Chanel mocks her. However, as #5 turns around, the Red Devil shows up behind her, causing the Chanels to scream. They all run off, with #5 clinging herself onto #3 in order to not be left behind.

As they run down the stairs, Chanel shouts insultuous things to #5, stating that all that's happening is her fault. When they reach the first floor of the mall, they realize that there's another Red Devil waiting for them. However, Chanel #3 spots an open door, and the Chanels run away. Chanel, however, does not go with them, and states that she will stay behind because she is Kappa's president.

Inside the mall, she repeatedly taunts the Red Devil, but she ends up shooting Chanel in the shoulder, to which she falls to the ground, thrashing about madly while shrieking and crying in pain. She starts to crawl away, until the Red Devil points her crossbow towards Chanel's face. She is about to pull the trigger when Denise Hemphill shows up with two other cops. She starts bragging about getting a new job, but is interrupted when the Red Devil shoots one of the cops in the chest, killing him.

The Red Devil then procceeds to escape, and Chanel is taken to safety. The next day, Chanel informs the rest of Kappa that she is okay, and the wound did not affect any artery. She then states that it is obvious that Dean Munsch is the killer, and tells the other Chanels that they should kill her.

The Chanels and Grace attempt to poison Dean Munsch, but fail. Later on, the Chanels attempt to murder Dean Munsch again, but this time, Zayday comes with them. They attempt to freeze her to death, but once again, fail.

## Dorkus (12th Episode)

Pete admits to Grace that he was part of the Red Devil scheme, and claims responsibility shooting Chanel in the mall.

The next day, a vitriol-filled email, penned by Chanel after her Kappa sisters' failure to help her kill Munsch, goes viral after the Red Devil fowards the email to the news, and the public begins to turn on Chanel. She considers suicide, but Zayday convinces her to rise up and reform her cruel ways. Just then, the Red Devil bursts into Chanel's room, but as it turns out, it was only a helpless pizza delivery guy who was strapped to a dynamite vest and forced to impersonate the Red Devil by an unknown female, who Hester claims was wearing a veil and mumbling "something dork". The pizza guy is then blown apart in the Kappa house, with his intestines spewing all over the walls. After Chanel's conversation with Zayday, she tells the other Chaneld to go on an apology tour, starting with Melanie Dorkus, who still believes that Chanel is responsible for the acid attack that left her permanently deformed.

The Chanels then arrive at Melanie's house for the apology, however Hester stays behind to rob Chanel's closet, and Chanel #5 leaves for a Tinder date. As it turns out, Chanel never intended to apologize, and instead, she repeatedly attempts to stab Melanie with scissors, convinced she is the killer, due to Hester's description of a woman wearing a veil and mumbling "dork". She is just about to finish off Melanie, when Grace and Zayday show up and stop her with the proclamation that Hester is the Red Devil.

The sisters all return to Kappa house, and are discussing what to do about Hester, when suddenly, they hear a loud scream. The girls all grab assorted kitchen utensils as weaponry, and slowly walk upstairs to the source of the noise. They find Chanel #5 coming out of the bathroom, who says her Tinder date was actually fake. From there, they all walk into Chanel's closet and find a distraught Hester laying on the ground with a stiletto heel jammed into her eye socket. Grace seems noticeably confused as she was convinced that Hester was in fact the killer, but now she is questioning everything. Just then, Hester looks up and points her finger at Chanel #5, referring to her as the killer, and claiming that she was the one who attacked her.

## The Final Girl(s) (13th Episode)

Once Hester is out of the hospital and recovering from the damage inflicted on her eye, she points at Libby and shouts that she is the Red Devil. Chanel and Chanel #3 start to corner Libby because they begin to believe she is the killer, just as Denise Hemphill arrives to support their theory. Grace and Zayday object, stating that Hester is the real killer and they have evidence to prove it. Hester suddenly arrives and perfectly dismisses all of their evidence.

After accusing #3 and #5 as the killers, Hester accuses Chanel of being one of the killers. She shows her a video recording from the hardware store of "her" shopping the tools that the Red Devil previously used to murder people. It is revealed that it was actually just Hester wearing a blonde wig in order to frame Chanel, as the video only shows her from the back. She says if the video isn't enough proof, she has the receipt from the purchase since Chanel used a credit card in her name, which Chanel claims she doesn't even own.

Denise is then convinced that Chanel was involved, so she arrests her as well, but not before suspecting Zayday. The Chanels all refuse to be taken into custody, so Denise calls in a bunch of male strippers dressed as officers for back-up, and the Chanels get taken away.

During their trials, Chanel, #5, and Chanel #3 are sentenced to life in a mental asylum. They unexpectedly find happiness there; Chanel is unanimously voted as the asylum president. The three of them happily eat anything they want since there are "no boys to be skinny for".

The season ends with Chanel preparing to go to sleep. Chanel walks by the people sleeping and smiles. She finally lays on her bed and covers her eyes. She hears a knife being taken out of his/her sheath, but doesn't pay much mind to it. The Red Devil appears behind her bed wielding a knife. She screams as the Red Devil is about to stab her from behind, leaving her fate unknown as the season ends.

## Physical Appearance

Chanel has long blonde hair and hazel eyes. She wears a lot of *Chanel*, because she is "the peacock of the group and has to really stand out," said the show’s costume designer Lou Eyrich.

As a very fashionable girl, Chanel is always impeccably dressed, perfectly matched, and perfectly coiffed. Her clothes usually come in very icy pastel colors and vintage pieces.

## Personality

Chanel is ruthless, selfish and fashionable. All her life, all she wanted to do is to have a great boyfriend like Chad and to be the president of Kappa Kappa Tau, and rule the roost. When this finally happened, she became the most popular and the meanest girl of Wallace University. Chanel is not a nice person, and usually says whatever goes through her mind. She likes to insult people and does whatever she wants. Typically, Chanel considers everyone an enemy and inferior than her. She has a very snotty attitude and she can be quite a bully to other people, and even treats poorly her "best friends", The Chanels. The deaths of Chanel #4 and Chanel #2 didn't even really seem to phase her. Popularity, humiliating, and blackmailing are essential things in her life. Once, she made Pete think that she liked him back so she can laugh of him and humiliate him. Everytime Chanel wants something she has to get it, or else, she will make a big scene in front of everyone, the scenes she creates mostly involve screaming, crying, insulting and act like a huge baby because she feels superior and no one can ever tell her to stop because she will start insulting that person physically and emotionally. As a queen bee, she walks with a lot of confidence and is always the center of attention wherever she goes. Chanel is very spoiled and regularly clarifies that she is extremely rich. She appears to have severe anger issues, and is arguably the most aggressive of the Kappa Kappa Tau girls.

Chanel gets really freaked out when things doesn't go the way she wanted and blames other people for her problems, mainly Chanel #5, who appears to be Chanel's least favorite person in Kappa house and treats her in really bad way. She mocks Chanel #5 by mentioning to everyone that she has vagina teeth and always makes her feel like the lucky whiny loser Chanel brought in. Chanel also shows a lot ruthless mean attitude towards new pledge Grace, Chanel always calls her Nancy Drew and finds Grace to be very annoying and obnoxious, but not as much as Chanel #5. Chanel needs to be mean to other people so she can feel confident. The reason why she is a horrible person to everyone is because in reality she feels really lonely and insecure, because she has never had true friends, her boyfriend compulsively cheats on her, and her parents strongly neglect her, even forgetting about her birthday.

Chanel has tried being a nice person in the past, but all things that includes being a good person makes her want to vomit. In her love life, Chanel loves hard and usually tries to work it out every time there is a problem. She cares about the person she is in a relationship with and all she asks for is to get back what she gives. When her boyfriend lets her down, she usually gives more chances for him to change and when she makes mistakes she quickly asks for forgiveness and tries to fix it. When Chanel can't fix the problems she's in, she usually eats her feelings away, and this is very hard for her as her insecurity demands her to be skinny and look pretty in front of everyone, even though she deeply feels like no man should treat her this way and she should stand up for herself, like that time when she beat up those two douchey frat brothers with Chanel #3, Chanel #5 and Hester.

* > **Chanel Oberlin:** "Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today because a backstabbing little bitch got exactly what was coming to her. Chanel Number Two literally never had my back. Whenever I wanted to strut across campus or down a long hallway with the other Chanels, she'd always be like "I have a colonic!" So, instead of strutting across campus in a beautiful diamond formation, we were forced to strut across campus in a triad formation like a bunch of hobos because Number Two didn't think she should have to walk behind me. But whenever I'd find myself descending a staircase in heels, you can bet Number Two was right there behind me with a helpful little nudge. This dumb, dead whore also used her high pony wiles to seduce my man into rubbing uglies with her. So I hope you all grasp the concept that this is what happens when you rub uglies with my man--you end up dead! So, have fun being dead, Number Two. You were a stupid, little trollop and I hope you're burning in hell right now. Amen." (Chanel during Chanel #2's funeral in **Beware of Young Girls**)
