Chani
Beautiful, enigmatic, and fierce, Chani is a lithe young Fremen girl indigenous to the desert planet Dune, which invaders call Arrakis. Like all Fremen, she was raised to defy the outsiders who come to brutalize her people and exploit their world’s primary natural resource, the spice. Due to the harsh environment, Chani dresses in the water-conserving “stillsuit” of her tribe, all of whom have acquired iridescent blue irises from constant exposure to spice. Though she is loyal to her leader and peers, she seems to have an empathic connection with Paul, who, unbeknownst to her, presciently dreamed of Chani even before their first encounter. Indeed, the pair seem to have an intimate connection somehow spanning the reaches of both time and space. Clearly, there is much more to her than meets the eye — but for now, her destiny remains a mystery.
