Chanti first met Waxwing when Waxwing went to handle a dangerous situation involving [[Rupert]], the awful bird, and found a teenage Chanti handling the situation with her bird powers. Waxwing offered to train her and Chanti accepted because she didn’t know what else to do with her developing powers.  
==Appearance==
Chanti’s is described as looking like Black-Korean rapper Yoon Mi-rae. She has slightly looser curly hair, and a lean and toned body. He dress sense is "very fashionable", and her civilian clothing includes lots of chokers and velvet.  


Prior to teaming up with the [[Paternoster]] and [[Mr Good]], she and [[The Champ]] had teamed up a couple of times. This has mostly been by virtue of being in the same place at the same time rather than a planned team-ups.

When we see her in [[Extracurricular: Out Of Time]] she is in her first year of undergrad, although her major is still undecided.
When in [[Blough City]] during "[[Extracurricular: Out Of Time]]", she is having fun being “away from the pressures of home” and has really leaned into the fashions of the time, wearing marabou-trimmed jackets over the top of her dress. Her clothing is styled after Anna Mae Wong and Josephine Baker (extremely fashion forward, lots of feathers, lots of headpieces), with her hair is slicked down in a Josephine Baker style or a teased out style. The hair products in Blough City at this time are not as advanced, and Chanti prefers silk presses or braids rather than using relaxers.


She is "not much of a party person" due both to her more reserved nature and the expectations of the parental figures in her life.
When attending [[Goldfinch|Gale Green]]'s party during this arc, Chanti wears a gold fringe dress with sequin laurel leaf motif and a fascinator with a small live gold bird on it. After being touched by the [[The Gloam|Gloam]], her outfit changed, appearing to have an oil-slick, iridescent quality to it.


Her mother is Black and her father is Korean. Her mother knows about her powers, but her father does not (he's a "little uptight").

Tools.png This article is under construction. Please excuse the mess.

“I prefer to think of myself as a trouble-solver, but that’s not everyone’s perspective, I’m sure.”

Chanti Park is a superhero in Bluff City under the name Grouse. Chanti is 18 or 19 and a newly graduated senior during the events of When Justice Is Done.

Appearance

Chanti’s is described as looking like Black-Korean rapper Yoon Mi-rae. She has slightly looser curly hair, and a lean and toned body. He dress sense is "very fashionable", and her civilian clothing includes lots of chokers and velvet.

Her superhero costume is based off of the greater sage-grouse bird, and is colorfully black, brown, and white with lots of texture and stripes and a big fluffy white collar piece around her neck and shoulders, and her hair in two tight braids in tall ponytail. She wears a mask with yellow eyes. She changes into her superhero costume by running through a cloud of birds who dress her.

When in Blough City during "Extracurricular: Out Of Time", she is having fun being “away from the pressures of home” and has really leaned into the fashions of the time, wearing marabou-trimmed jackets over the top of her dress. Her clothing is styled after Anna Mae Wong and Josephine Baker (extremely fashion forward, lots of feathers, lots of headpieces), with her hair is slicked down in a Josephine Baker style or a teased out style. The hair products in Blough City at this time are not as advanced, and Chanti prefers silk presses or braids rather than using relaxers.

When attending Gale Green's party during this arc, Chanti wears a gold fringe dress with sequin laurel leaf motif and a fascinator with a small live gold bird on it. After being touched by the Gloam, her outfit changed, appearing to have an oil-slick, iridescent quality to it.

Personality

She is "not much of a party person" due both to her more reserved nature and the expectations of the parental figures in her life.

After returning to Bluff City via the Tunnel Project, the Gloam caused her to bring some of Blough City back with her and made her feel as though the city were more "grey" than when she left it.

History and Involvement

Chanti first met Waxwing when Waxwing went to handle a dangerous situation involving Rupert, the awful bird, and found a teenage Chanti handling the situation with her bird powers. Waxwing offered to train her and Chanti accepted because she didn’t know what else to do with her developing powers.

Prior to teaming up with the Paternoster and Mr Good, she and The Champ had teamed up a couple of times. This has mostly been by virtue of being in the same place at the same time rather than planned team-ups.

She is currently trying to choose her major. Her mother wants her to go into orthology/biology, but Chanti feels like it’s too on the nose or that it’s too hard since she can talk to the birds she would be studying, and is thinking about going into nursing. When we see her in "Extracurricular: Out Of Time" she is in her first year of undergrad, although her major is still undecided.
