When Chani was a kid, she loved rabbits. She had a pet rabbit named Thumper and she would spend hours playing with him in her backyard. Her mom would always tell her to be careful with Thumper because he was delicate, but Chani never listened. She would roughhouse with him and sometimes even unintentionally hurt him. But Thumper always forgave her and they would continue playing together. As a teenager, Chani began to experiment with her appearance. She dyed her hair Sandy and started growing out her Mohawk. She also began wearing more makeup and experimenting with different styles of clothing. Some people at school thought she looked weird, but Chani didn't care what they think. She liked the way she looked and that's all that mattered to her. Now an adult, Chani is a successful author of fantasy novels. Her books are filled with strong female characters who overcoming obstacles and fighting for what they believe in Sandy's inspired by many aspects of Chani's own life experiencejoiFighting for what yolook like on the outside does not matter as long as you are comfortable in your own skin said Chani in an interview when asked about how she dealt with bullies when she was younger If somebody doesn't like the way I look, then that's their problem, not mine."
