Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker, better known as Che'nya, is a student of Royal Sword Academy. He is a childhood friend of Riddle Rosehearts and Trey Clover.
Appearance
Che'nya has short, choppy purple hair with his bangs cut in a curve, as well as three bobby pins pinned to the bang on the left side of his face. He has a pair of purple cat ears with a piercing of a speech bubble containing the word "up" in his left ear as well as three arrow piercings in his right ear. He has yellow eyes with slitted cat pupils. He wears a baggy white shirt over a striped purple t-shirt, and blue pants with a purple belt that has the sentence "Do you stand on your head?" printed on it. He has purple painted nails and wears a ring shaped like the Cheshire Cat's smile on his right hand. He also has a long, bushy tail that has purple stripes and a purple to white ombré coloring.
Personality
Che'nya when first introduced is rather cheerful and mischievous, as he likes to pull pranks for the sake of seeing people's frightened faces. (Ex. only making his head visible to terrify Deuce and Ace to look like he only has a head for a body part). Che'nya seems to be rather carefree and isn't afraid that much of the NRC students who holds hatred for Royal Sword Academy and their students, sometimes visiting Heartsabyul to see Trey and Riddle, despite being a student of Royal Sword Academy.
Background
Che'nya and Trey have known each other since they were young. One day, as they were playing near Riddle's house, they spot him and ask him to play croquet with them, even though he was in the middle of self-studying. The three became friends and Riddle would use his self-studying hour to sneak out and play with them. However, when Riddle's mother found out, she forbade him from playing with them again.[1] Years later, Che'nya would attend Royal Sword Academy.
Che'nya has a brief but significant role in Book 1, where he suggests to Grim, Ace, Deuce, and Grim that they go talk to Trey if they wanted to find out about Riddle and his attitude.
He reappears again at the end of Book 1, during the Non-Birthday party claiming that he had come to enjoy the party. However, he leaves almost immediately when the other members find out that he is a student at their rival school, the Royal Sword Academy.
In Book 5 he appears again showing the way for Gran, Dominic and Snick to rejoin their dwarf friends. He later has a brief friendly chat with Trey and Riddle, where Che'nya points out that they have not seen or heard from each other since the Non-Birthday party. Since Trey and Riddle are busy, however, they postpone meeting later. [2]
Che'nya is one of the participants of the school field trip to Noble Bell College in Fleur City and plays a supportive and helpful role for the boys of Night Raven College with the city and firelotuses.[3]
