Chie Satonaka is a character in Persona 4. She is a student at Yasogami High School and a member of the Investigation Team.
Profile
Chie is a 2nd year student at Yasogami High who is in the protagonist's class. She befriends the protagonist on his first day of school and later walks him home while introducing him to Inaba. By the start of the story, she has also been long time friends with Yukiko Amagi, and is familiar with Yosuke Hanamura whom she lent her Trial of the Dragon DVD. Chie has an interest in martial arts and loves meat, and comes off as a tomboy due to these interests. At the same time, Chie shows a struggle with her femininity: Her Shadow reveals that she's jealous of Yukiko's feminine looks, she forces Yosuke to go with her while tailing Kanji so a boy will be there to protect her, and she speaks with a very feminine Japanese pronoun throughout all of her appearances.
Chie wears the Yasogami High uniform with a bright green and yellow jacket over it that she accessorizes with cheap, retro style can badges. In the TV World, she wears bright lime green glasses. Design-wise, Chie's jacket was a turning point for Shigenori Soejima. He wanted to include a character in a lame jersey-style jacket to emphasize the Japanese rural stereotype, but he didn't like how the school's colors looked on a jersey jacket. Instead, he tried making Chie's jacket look more retro, and this ended up defining how he would include un-cool things because of the game's rural setting while still being able to make them look stylish.[1]
Gameplay
Chie is the Chariot Social Link. She becomes a playable party member in April with the Persona Tomoe. In line with her love of martial arts, she is mostly a physical damage and critical hit oriented character, but also learns a few Bufu spells.

- The DVD Chie lends Yosuke is called Trial of the Dragon. In Japanese, its title is The Legend of Jackie Chan or The Legend of Seiryū (Japanese: 成龍伝説, Hepburn Seiryū densetsu). Jackie Chan's name is written 成龍, but Chie pronounces it seiryū like the azure dragon which would normally be written 青龍. Seiryū would be the Japanese on'yomi readings of Chan's Chinese stage name 成龍, but Jackie Chan is not actually called this in Japanese.
