| At the age of 10, she developed an interest in wavecasting via ZIM’s home academics program [[Learning educational modules]]. A hyper-aware and imaginative child, Chalice was encouraged by BOB to occupy herself with diverse hobbies, including [[frac-tonal music]] and [[programming wetware]].

Due to BOB droning her body during more physically challenging activities, Chalice has scrapes and a perennial sunburn. Her hair is a soft pink color, with a strict center part. | | At the age of 10, she developed an interest in wavecasting via ZIM’s home academics program [[Learning educational modules]].

She fears this eventuality as much as she idealizes the idea of freedom. | | As a result, Chalice covets private pleasures and is increasingly annoyed when BOB wants to join in.
