Personality

Chyna is an optimistic, witty, bright, and outgoing girl who loves to stand out. She is not meek. However, her father doesn't like her going to parties or hanging out with boys. Most of the time, Chyna is shown trying to find a place where she feels she belongs, usually dragging Fletcher and Olive to join. Chyna usually gets Olive and Fletcher to join in with events, such as organizing prom and the ANTernet. She also doesn't like people feeling left out or upset when she can do something about it. She also doesn't like to let people down. However, when she does this she tends to find out she's being conned.

Season 1

In TransplANTed, she's immediately excited by the look of her new school, with a bonus of cute guys. At the A.N.T. Farm, Gibson welcomes her. Chyna then meets Olive, who immediately starts giving out facts on China's (the country) Dynasties. Chyna thinks her talent is talking but Olive says she has an eidetic memory. Chyna then meets Angus and almost launches a missile controlled by a joystick, thinking it's a game. She proceeds to see Fletcher carrying a human sculpture to her confusion. Fletcher explains that he's an artist, and is sculpting the class for an assignment. In music class, Chyna accidentally sits in Lexi's chair, so Lexi pushes her off it to see if this "Chyna is breakable". Mr. Zimbaldi notices Chyna on the ground and helps her up, seeing that she's a new prodigy. He then asks her to play something on the violin, which Chyna wows everyone with.

Farm, since Lexi says Chyna needs to practice, she cheers everything she says, annoying Olive. She then takes a raincheck to get a weave with the other Cheerleaders, leaving Olive looking for a new friend. At practice, Lexi wears Chyna out with several exercises, leading to Chyna losing her voice, which is exactly what Lexi wanted so she can't tryout for the school play.

Pad, (which is where she kept her speech safe), Olive volunteers to help Chyna record her speech (since Olive remembers every word from what Chyna wrote on her speech, since she has an eidetic memory). But when a deafening noise (caused by Fletcher) makes Olive lose her memory, Chyna, Fletcher, and Angus go to great lengths to get her memory back before Principal Skidmore dismisses her from the A.N.T. Program and sends her back to kindergarten. At the end of the episode it is shown that Olive did lose her memory, up until the point when she got trampled in the hallway, then her memory came back.
