Her hair honks if you squeeze it

Chuatury "Chuchu" Panlunch is a character in Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury. She is a first-year student in the piloting department, who belongs to Earth House. She is nicknamed "Chuchu" and piloted MSJ-105CC Chuchu's Demi Trainer.

Appearance

Chuchu's most iconic hair is her hair, appearing bright pink that goes down to her chin with two strands coming out the back and two very noticeable buns of hair that appear bigger than her entire head. Those buns also honk like a clown nose when squeezed. She also has matching pink eyes.

ChuChu wears the Asticassia Student Attire while attending classes there. The Student Attire is peacock blue for the most part, being peacock blue shorts and making up two sleeves. One of the sleeves is tight on the arms with black wrist cuffs, and the second sleeve being very loose and oversized with red coloring the inside of the sleeves. On the torso itself, black colors coat the chest, shoulder, collar, and hips. Red runs over the top of the shoulders, and a large red zipper is tied to the base of the neck. On the left part of the chest is a small red triangle with one of the edges disconnected from the rest. ChuChu's most unique part of her attire is a puffy white jacket covering her entire uniform up below the chest, the jacket has magenta interior coating, and magenta and pink wrist cuffs. ChuChu's shoes are pure white with grey soles and pink laces with matching pink socks.

Personality & Character Chuchu is a troubled young girl who endures the discrimination and harassment at school that a significant portion of Spacians exhibit towards Earthians like herself and her friends. Along with her home community being the subject of Spacian oppression and exploitation, Chuchu has a very negative impression of all Spacians, often deriding them as "turds" and lashing out at them. She was initially vicious to Suletta when she first tried to join the Earth House even though she was one of the few Spacians not derisive of Earthians.

Because of the harsh circumstances of her growth and present situation, Chuchu is rather hot-headed and prone to picking fights, especially with Spacians who harass or torment others. She often prefers being direct and confronting problems head-on. Chuchu sees herself as someone who carries the burdens as hopes of her home people and is sympathetic to those carrying similar struggles, which helps her open up to defending Suletta from bullies during the Spotting Exam that she accuses of living without any true goals or hardships. She has a close friendship with Nika Nanaura, who often helps to calm her down in intense situations, and Chuchu looks up to her as an older peer.

History Chuchu grew up in a mining town on Earth and is familiar with the many accidents people suffered over the years.

Suletta's Arrival Chuchu watched the opening match between Miorine and Guel with the rest of the Earth House and commented that Miorine had no chance against him as a non-pilot.

After Suletta Mercury was arrested for using a Gundam, she talked with Nika and Martin at lunch about how she even got in with a low company like Shin Sei. Chuchu loudly bemoaned the Spacians for repressing the Earthians, not caring if anyone overhears them. When two girls tried to force the group to move from their table, Chuchu attempted to push back, but Nika said the three of them would leave. Even after the girls spit into Nika's food and Chuchu tried to stand up for her, Nika left and told them to follow without breaking her smile, much to Chuchu's confusion and frustration.

She later watched Suletta's rematch against Guel with the rest of the Earth House. When Suletta began turning the tide, she cheered for her to crush the Spacian, although Martin reminded her that she was not from Earth either. After the duel ended with Suletta rejecting Guel's marriage proposal, Chuchu bemoaned how the entire duel was the result of a lovers' quarrel and that Spacians led overly carefree lives.

The Spotting Exam Chuchu readied to take the spotting exam with her Demi Trainer, with Nika and Nuno providing support. She began dashing through the course and remarked how easy it was, but a black paint spread over her Demi Trainer's camera and blocked her vision, causing her to fall down a slope onto a landmine and fail the exam. Upon existing the cockpit, she discovered a slow-acting masking spray and vowed to pummel the person who did it.

Afterwards, when heading back to the Earth House, she spotted Suletta talking with the others and lashed out in frustration for her being a Spacian, slamming a wrench against a wall hard enough to dent it. She threw the wrench at Suletta and yelled at her to leave the House while Nika and Lilique tried to restrain her. Chuchu told her to never set foot there again, and Suletta ran off frightened.

Later that night, she talked on a video call with some older workers she knew on Earth. They asked her how she was doing, and she replied that she held her own and even fought off a gang of Spacians yesterday. She tried to ask about the recent suppression of an Earth factory rally on the news, but they told her to not worry about them and to concentrate on her studies and craft operating, which she thanked them for.

The next morning, she spotted Suletta and Miorine readying to take the spotting exam. She tried to yell at Suletta again for showing up to their House and using Miorine, and Nika tried to calm her down. Miorine told Chuchu it was wrong to take out her frustrations with Spacians on Suletta, which was no better than how they treated Earthians like her.

When Suletta was taking the exam and said her monitor went dark, Chuchu noticed two girls watching and congratulating each other. Though initially frustrated at Suletta's retakes holding her up, Chuchu heard both her breaking down in tears after her repeated failures and Miorine reminding her of the hopes and goals Suletta had for the Mercurians. After hearing the two girls making fun of Suletta, she rushed out of her cockpit and knocked one of them out with a single punch. She yelled at the other for bullying someone like Suletta, saying she was carrying the hopes of others. She started a fistfight with her, which Nuno and Suletta tried to break up. After the other girl inadvertently hit Suletta, Chuchu punched her in the face.

After the fight, Chuchu was frustrated that she and Suletta both have to take a make-up exam. Nika offered Suletta the chance to join the Earth House, and before Chuchu could lash out again, Nika calmed her down with a soft smile. Chuchu reluctantly backed off and accepted Suletta, but only on the condition that she addressed her as a senior, even though she herself was a grade below her.

MSJ-105CC Chuchu's Demi Trainer was a mobile suit introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury. It is piloted by Chuatury Panlunch.

Technology & Combat Characteristics The base MSJ-105 Demi Trainer is an older model in Burion's Demi Trainer line. The MSJ-105CC is Chuatury Panlunch's customized personal unit and the result of "Project Chuchu". As students in Asticassia School of Technology's Earth House are typically unable to afford the latest, most advanced Demi Trainer models, it is common for them to purchase obsolete Demi Trainers and modify them extensively to try to reach parity with the newer models. In Chuchu's case, her unit was customized for hit-and-run tactics. It is armed with a long-distance beam rifle to strike targets from afar, and its legs feature acceleration and deceleration enhancements for rapid, precise maneuvers. The alterations to the legs make the unit difficult to control for pilots who lack high-g training, however. Although Chuchu disliked the idea of retreating and repositioning in between attacks, she eventually came to accept the MSJ-105CC's design.

Armaments Large Beam Rifle A custom weapon built specifically for this unit, using the Demi Trainer's original large-scale firearm as a base. The rifle is mounted to its arm unit in front while being carried. It receives a direct supply of energy from the unit's backpack and can fire at both short and long range by adjusting its convergence rate.

Beam Gatling A weapon built using standard parts of the Deadalus System.
