Background
Some time in the past, Chie was attending Advanced Nurturing High School. She became friends with Sae Chabashira.

Personality
Chie is a friendly class teacher who also likes drinking as she often appears in school with a hangover.

In spite of her quirks, she appears to be insightful as she recognized potential of students from class 1-D who could advance such as Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, who she never met (anime only), may present a problem for her class based on what Ichinose told her about him.

In the manga, she also assumed him to be popular in his class, due to his good looks.

Plot
During Episode 4, in Class 1-B, she is suffering from a hangover and is told by Chihiro Shiranami on how she reeks of booze. She struggles to tell the students scores of a recent quiz and once they are given out. She runs out the class to puke after telling them that they will receive their points.

In Episode 8, she is getting a massage with Honami Ichinose and behaves rather oddly. She calms down and they discussed students of each class they should watch out for. When Chie mention someone was missing from the list and its someone Honami previously informed her of. Honami thought she was suggesting Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, as she confirmed that something seems to be odd about him.

In Volume 11 she points out how Ayanokōuji Kiyotaka had been hiding his abilities and says that she doesn't hate students like him in general but especially dislikes students like him when she deems them her enemy,which she inderictly does in the same volume.

In Year 2 Volume 3 she stops Ayanokōuji Kiyotaka at a task site and interrogates him about his math score and asks him if he would transfer to her class via the use of 20 Million Private Points.
