Supporting Characters/Chenya

Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker, better known as Chenya, is a third-year student of Royal Sword Academy. He is a childhood friend of Riddle Rosehearts and Trey Clover.

Appearance
Chenya has short, choppy purple hair with his bangs cut in a curve, as well as three bobby pins pinned to the bang on the left and right sides of his face. He has a pair of purple cat ears with a piercing of a speech bubble containing the word "up" in his left ear as well as three arrow piercings in his right ear. He has yellow eyes with slitted cat pupils. He wears a baggy white shirt over a striped purple t-shirt, and blue pants with various patches on them, as well as a purple belt that has the sentence "Can you stand on your head?" printed on it. He has purple painted nails and wears a ring shaped like the Cheshire Cat's smile on his right hand.

Personality
Chenya when first introduced is rather cheerful and mischievous, as he likes to pull pranks for the sake of seeing people's frightened faces. (Ex. only making his head visible to terrify Deuce and Ace to look like he only has a head for a body part). Chenya seems to be rather carefree and isn't afraid that much of the NRC students who hold hatred for Royal Sword Academy and their students, sometimes visiting Heartsabyul to see Trey and Riddle, despite being a student of Royal Sword Academy.

Background
Chenya and Trey have known each other since they were young. One day, as they were playing near Riddle's house, they spot him and ask him to play croquet with them, even though he was in the middle of self-studying. The three became friends and Riddle would use his self-studying hour to sneak out and play with them. However, when Riddle's mother found out, she forbade him from playing with them again. Years later, Chenya would attend Royal Sword Academy.

Unique Magic
Chenya's unique magic can make parts of his body disappear and reappear at will.

In the manga, Chenya's unique magic can also make him float midair.
