{{nihongo|Chi|ちぃ|Chii}} is a Chobit (an extremely advanced persocom that possesses a very powerful processor and highly developed programming) that Hideki found in a pile of trash on his way home one night. When she was first activated, Chi was unable to communicate properly, only being able to say "Chi", which causes Hideki to name her that. Chi remembers nothing of her past life or how to do the simplest of things, so Hideki takes it upon himself to teach her and take care of her.
Before she was found by Hideki and named Chi, her name was Elda. She was the second Chobit produced by Ichiro Mihara. Elda was created after Hibiya noticed that Freya, the first Chobit, was becoming increasingly depressed as time went by. Elda was created to be Freya's little sister, in an effort to make her happy. In the anime, it is explained that Hibiya reset Elda's memories after her husband's death. However, in the manga, Elda lost her memories as a consequence of taking in her ailing sister's heart. Some time after, Hideki found her and brought her home. Elda's memories were on the disc which was accidentally left in the garbage when Hideki salvaged her.<ref name=HibiyaDisc>'''Chitose Hibiya''': That disk... ...contains all of Elda's old memories. After what happened with Freya... ...I couldn't bear to lose her too. It's only a small part of what made you who you were... ...but I thought that together we could rebuild. I know I made you a promise... ...but... ...I thought that if you never found someone to unlock your potential... ...I could... ... I could wake up the old you. We could be a ''family''' again.{{cite book|title=Chobits Volume 8|publisher=[[Tokyopop]]|pages=24-25|id=ISBN 1591824095}}</ref>
After she is activated, Chi proceeds to start learning about the environment around her, and makes some hilarious mistakes in the process, such as imitating a pornographic pose from one of Hideki's magazines. Eventually, when Chi starts communicating properly and learns enough about her environment to be able to function in it, she gets a job at Hiroyasu Ueda's bakery.
