Age: 36
Role: Manager of the lemonade café
Species: Human

Chia is the kind of manager people actually like working for. He’s calm, patient, and genuinely wants his staff to do well—not just at work, but as people. He doesn’t yell, doesn’t micromanage, and doesn’t panic when things get weird (which happens a lot). Instead, he keeps things steady and expects everyone to meet him halfway.

He pays attention. He notices when someone’s off, when something’s about to go wrong, or when someone just needs a break—but he doesn’t make a big deal out of it. He just handles it.

He loves simple things: making good lemonade, eating well (fruit and protein), and playing drums to clear his head. Sometimes he taps rhythms on counters without realizing it.

As a leader, he trusts his team:

• He gives Zay time to grow
• Keeps Mintana from going too far
• Doesn’t judge Luna, but keeps an eye on her
• Respects Chris’s discipline
• Relies on Jason’s consistency
• Trusts Aloisa with important moments
• Keeps Madison focused
• Values Selene’s calm thinking

His right-hand is Solara, his vice manager. He trusts her completely, and together they keep everything running.

Appearance & Style:
Clean, put-together, not flashy. At work, he wears a sharp black uniform with gold accents and keeps it neat without looking stiff. Off work, he keeps it simple—tees, jackets, and sneakers.

Overall:
Chia is steady, observant, and quietly in control. He’s the reason the café doesn’t fall apart—even when everything around it probably should.
