The daughter of the Ox-King. Chi-Chi is Goku's first and only love (though he didn't realize it when they first met). At the start Chi-Chi was rather panicky, attacking anything threatening with extreme force (she beheaded a T-Rex with only the blade on her helmet), though eventually grew out of this to become a rather firm fighter. At first when Chi-Chi asked Goku to wed, he agreed, under the impression marriage was food. When he realized his mistake years later, he still gladly agreed to marry her anyway. By the Z series, she was a rather overprotective parent, worrying about Gohan's education (which clashed with his saving the world) and her family's welfare in general.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: A–D]]
* ActionMom: Even though she's retired from fighting, she still has some scenes when she kicks ass.
* AdaptationalBadass: Her incarnation in ''Super Dragon Ball'' (with the assistance of Nimbus, and while using the Power Pole and Bansho Fan) can go toe to toe with, and even beat, every other fighter in the game. That being said, the game's roster includes the likes of Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu.
* AdaptationalJerkass: While she had two bad moments in the manga, in the anime, she is obnoxious, impatient, pushy, and short-tempered.
* {{Adorkable}}: Mostly when she was 12, especially when she blushes over Yamcha and Goku.
* AesopAmnesia: In ''Dragon Ball Super'' some of her CharacterDevelopment from the Buu Arc is reversed. She's once again demanding of Goku, forcing him to get a job instead of train. Most of this is because the family needs money and she's about to have her first grandchild, making her high-strung again. She's still, however, quite lenient on Goten, allowing him to run off and play with Trunks with no issue. She is also quite chilled when Goku leaves to train again, even saying she wants to throw a party for his return.
* AgeInappropriateDress: Her outfit at age ''twelve'' is a blue bikini, with pink gloves and boots, and a green cape. In the edited dub Goku even commented she should wear more clothes.
* AlmightyMom: It was a RunningGag that superpowered aliens were afraid of her. [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath Then she]] [[TearJerker ran into]] [[OmnicidalManiac Majin Buu.]] Also, she and Bulma provide the page's image.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: As shown in the movie "Bojack Unbound" when she cheers on Gohan when he's fighting in a tournament and Gohan looks embarrassed. This may be understandable, as she was raised in seclusion and she probably doesn't know she's embarrassing Gohan.
* AngerBornOfWorry: The only reason she gets upset with Goku and Gohan fighting dangerous villains, or Goku dragging Gohan into dangerous battles, is because she cares for their well-being.
* AngstComa: Went into a brief one when she heard that Gohan was killed.
* AnywhereButTheirLips: After their fight during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, she gives Goku a peck on the cheek, the only time the two have ever kissed onscreen. In ''Super's'' Future Trunks Saga, Goku states outright that, despite being married for ''decades'' and having ''two'' children, he and Chi-Chi have never actually kissed, much to Vegeta's surprise.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Chi-Chi can be very overbearing towards Goku, especially when it comes to Gohan's studies and after she finds out she's going to be a grandmother. Still, it's clear that she loves him dearly. When he was sick with his heart virus, Chi-Chi was literally in tears as she took care of him and cried for joy when he got well. She is also accepting, eventually, of Goku leaving to train with Whis. She even planned to have a big feast for him when he returns home, and she rushes to his side after he's kicked out of the ring and knocked unconscious by Frost. She hugs him, saying that she was afraid that he had died. She's also becomes greatly concerned when Goku loses his appetite and control of his energy because he's sick with his Delayed Onset Ki Syndrome and wants to feed him until he gets well.
* BadassAdorable: When she was younger.
* BadassNormal: Very powerful as far as {{Muggle}}s go at least. It's to the point where she not only trained Goten into becoming a Super Saiyan (albeit, unintentionally), she even survived getting hit by him in his super form (for non-fans, it's like an ant surviving being run over by a truck). She's even able to make her husband and her sons, all three of which can turn into beings a couple ''million'' times stronger than her, tremble in fear.
* BareYourMidriff: At age ''12.''
* BerserkButton:
** Don't call her an old lady. Maron almost had to learn this the hard way if Roshi and the others didn't restrain Chi-Chi from her.
** Early on, do not suggest saving the world is more important than Gohan's studying.
* BookDumb: While it's not as obvious as Goku, she never actually had an education either and was raised in seclusion her whole childhood. No doubt this is a factor in why she pushes Gohan to obtain a proper education.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Although she does have messed up priorities and they often clash with Goku's, she does have a point about how Gohan shouldn't grow up being an idiot. In about 50% of her lectures, she is actually right.
* BullyingADragon:
** She walks right up to Super Buu on Kami's Lookout, [[ArmorPiercingSlap slaps him across the face]], and angrily chews him out for killing Gohan. Keep in mind that Buu had just slaughtered ''every last human on Earth'' barring those on Kami's Lookout with a single attack, and Chi-Chi saw him do so. Needless to say, Chi-Chi has an OhCrap moment when she realizes what a bad idea this was... right before Buu turns her into an egg and crushes her literally underfoot.
** She herself is a victim of this in a filler episode. After she throws Mr. Shu out after he insults Goku and harms her son, Mr. Shu yells at her until she chases him, warming him to never return.
* CaptainObvious: In the Piccolo Jr. Saga, she screams "Goku's hurt!!" after Goku is shot through the shoulder by Piccolo's BreathWeapon. Really, Chi-Chi? The fact that Goku has a gaping hole in his shoulder and is [[BloodFromTheMouth coughing up his own blood]] and screaming in agony wasn't enough of an indicator?
* ChainmailBikini: When she was a child.
* CharacterExaggeration: Chi-Chi's temperament and EducationMama attitude are fairly exaggerated in the anime, compared to in the manga.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: As part of her [[SheIsAllGrownUp growing up]]. She started off as a DaddysGirl and was just as sheltered and naive as Goku. Who ever thought she'd turn out to be an overprotective AlmightyMom with anger management issues.
* ChekhovsGunman: After her first appearance as a child in the manga, she was never seen again until the 23rd tournament where she was now an adult. Averted in the anime as she made a few appearances in between said appearances to remind us she still existed.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Met Goku when he was 12, and later HappilyMarried him.
* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Goku promised to marry her when they were kids, thinking marriage was a kind of food. When they meet again at the Tenkaichi Budokai, Goku keeps his promise anyway and marries her.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She comes off as this at times since Goku can be a fight obsessed idiot to the point of ignoring his family and other responsibilities. She forces him to work to support his family instead of mooching off of Ox-King and Mr. Satan and training all the time.
* CrazyPrepared: For Gohan at least. These quote basically explain it:
-->'''Krillin:''' So what's with all this stuff?
-->'''Chi-Chi:''' Here's his underwear, toothbrush, coloring book, and sleep mask. And here are some snacks for the trip and his medicine. And we have a hair dryer, full dinner set with salad and dinner forks. Multi-
-->'''Krillin:''' Yeah, I think we get the picture.
* CryIntoChest: Does this when Goku was about to return to the Otherworld after his day was up. Did it again when Goku informed everyone that he wasn't dead anymore and could return home with his family.
* CuteBruiser: Tomboyish? Check. Can kick serious ass? Check.
* DaddysGirl: To the Ox-King.
* DemotedToExtra: Chi-Chi still keeps her physical strength from the first series but gave up fighting in favor of being a housewife and overprotective parent in ''Z''. Though, with what goes on in this series, it's kinda hard to blame her.
** Lampshaded in ''[[Anime/DragonBallKai Kai]]''
---> '''Roshi:''' That little firecracker wife turned out to be a real school mom, did she?
* {{Determinator}}: When she has goals involving her sons, she ''never gives up,'' even when she's obviously outclassed.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Chi-Chi slapped Majin Buu for supposedly killing Gohan, she never thought of the consequences of doing so. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu It ends as well as you'd expect]].
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: '''''[[MamaBear She slaps Super Buu in the face because she thought he killed Gohan!!!]]'''''...[[DoNotTauntCthulhu and promptly gets killed for it afterwards.]] Regardless, very admirable. It also counts for if she ever [[spoiler: scolds Goku]] after [[spoiler: he becomes a god in ''Battle of Gods'']].
* DotingParent: [[EducationMama Gohan]]. [[DotingParent Goten]]. Compare and contrast.
* DotingGrandparent: She's very fond of her granddaughter Pan.
* TheDreaded: Her fiery temper manages to make her intimidating to characters who are ''far'' more powerful than her. Even Goku gets scared when she's angry.
* DrillSergeantNasty: This is due to her being an obvious parody of the Asian mother. She comes off as this education-wise towards Gohan.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: As shown in filler episodes, and this also may be the reason why she made Goku take a driving test for a license.
* DubNameChange:
** She's known as Milk in Latin America, as "chi-chi" is a vulgar slang term for breasts in Latin American Spanish, akin to "tits".[[note]]Ironically, "chichi" means "boobs" in Japanese too.[[/note]] [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Then again, milk is also related to breasts...]]
** Averted in Spain, where Chi-Chi still maintains the original name, despite being the word used by kids for the female extenal genitalia.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: E–K]]
* EducationMama: She acts like this towards Gohan, so he could avoid the violent lifestyle of his dad. When Goten was born though, she switched from academics back to martial arts, though Super shows she still has Goten's education in mind (though to a much less gung-ho degree than she was with Gohan's).
* EnragedByIdiocy: With Goku's. A good example will be in a movie when she gets angry with him because he was acting like an idiot when she was trying to drill him for an interview.
* {{Expy}}:
** Chi-chi is a somewhat more complicated example than some of the other ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' characters - in the main, she's inspired by Princess Iron Fan, but her actual role and relation to Ox-King is more like that of Iron Fan's ''son'', the Red Boy. She's also a bit more similar to the Red Boy in terms of her relationship to Goku - Wukong and Red Boy were "sworn brothers", and Goku and Chi-chi get married.
** Her personality and appearance, in adult form, are based from Mrs. Tsun, a character of ''Manga/DoctorSlump''.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Chi-Chi (milk/breast) because her father is the "Ox-King." Their family is a reference to cows.
* FatalFlaw: Chi-Chi's wrath and impatience is this. Because of her wrath and impatience, it causes her to [[SkewedPriorities think]] irrationally and to make the worst decisions. Her (albeit understandable) anger even caused her to get turned into an egg and killed by Majin Buu.
* FearlessFool: One key flaw about Chi-Chi, is that she's too impulsive and never thinks of the consequences of her actions. This is shown well when she gets herself killed by Majin Buu by [[MamaBear slapping him in the face, because she thought he killed Gohan.]]
* FauxHorrific: In the Cell Arc, when Chi-Chi sees Gohan in Super Saiyan form for the first time, she freaks out about his hair color. This is more a case of ValuesDissonance, blond hair is seen as a sign of being a delinquent in Japan.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: By the time she and Goku meet again at the Tenkaichi Budokai, he has forgotten about her and their promise and doesn't even recognize her. Chi-Chi didn't take it well.
* FriendlessBackground: Prior to meeting Goku, Chi-Chi didn't have any friends because she was raised in seclusion.
* FryingPanOfDoom: She uses this in ''Anime/YoSonGokuAndHisFriendsReturn'' to Master Roshi when he acts like... well, [[DirtyOldMan Master Roshi]].
* GirlyBruiser: She is a skilled martial artist but she also enjoys being a housewife and she likes wearing makeup.
* GoldDigger: An unusual case - while she herself is happy to marry the dirt-poor Goku, she is very interested in the money that her son's girlfriend was born into. She is not very subtle about this.
--> '''Chi-chi''': Videl comes from a very wealthy family. She's a perfect match for Gohan!
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: She still looks good after Pan is born. It's more obvious when she doesn't do her hair up in a bun.
* HairTriggerTemper: ''Big time''. Her temper has caused almost ''every'' character she confronted to fear her.[[note]][[BigBad Except Super Buu]][[/note]]...
* HappilyMarried: To Goku. They've been married for decades, had two children together and despite her husband dying ''twice'' she didn't remarry either time.
* HimeCut: Though it's difficult to tell, since her hair is usually done up but it's long enough to count, she has the sidelocks and the even bangs. She's a princess after all. It's even less apparent after the Cell saga, but a few scenes with her hair down in ''Super'' show that it is still in this style.
* HotBlooded: As a teenager she had quite the temper. Less so as an adult.
* {{Housewife}}: She retired from fighting to become this and an overprotective EducationMama.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: This allows her to ride the Flying Nimbus as a child, and she is still shown being able to ride it immediately following the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Goku, a Saiyan, while she is a human woman.
* ItsAllMyFault: When she learns that Goku died in the Cell Games, she was very distraught and blamed herself for arguing with him over fighting, particularly over their then-only son taking part. This was profound enough to change her stance on martial arts almost completely when Goten is born.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In the first few seasons of ''Dragon Ball Z''. Chi-Chi may seem hot-tempered, abrasive, and a bit selfish, but at the end of the day, she loves her family very much and tries to do what's best for them. This does diminish in the Buu Saga when she mellows out and becomes a lot nicer.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: A filler episode of the Trunks Saga certainly counts. Chi-Chi hires a private tutor named Mr. Shu for Gohan, but as soon as she leaves the room, Mr. Shu proves to be a SadistTeacher who prides himself on [[WhipItGood beating his students]] with a whip when they don't do as he says and gets a sick kick out of openly and relentlessly mocking and insulting Goku, calling him a brainless brute and a deadbeat parent. When Gohan [[TheDogBitesBack stands up to him]] and damages the whip, Mr. Shu quickly calls in Chi-Chi and makes Gohan seem like the bad guy... before declaring that Goku's abandonment drove Gohan to such violence and proceeding to whip Gohan across the face hard enough to draw blood right in front of Chi-Chi while laughing about it all, which [[MamaBear pisses Chi-Chi off so much]] that she [[DestinationDefenestration throws him out the window and chases him off of their property]] all while screaming at him never to come back. For some fans, Chi-Chi doing so actually redeemed her entire character.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: L–R]]
* LetMeAtHim: Normally, when it involves her sons, Chi-Chi usually tries charging into battles to protect them. The Ox-King and the others always have to hold her back.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Towards Goku. She didn't even know him for a day and wanted to marry him.
* LoveMartyr: To Goku. She puts up with a lot given that Goku is sometimes childish, somewhat ignorant of human emotions, and often runs off to fight the threat-of-the-week. She still loves him unconditionally and never even considered remarrying either time that he died, even when it seemed like he was gone for good.
* MadeOfIron:
** A playful tap from Goku accidentally sent Chi-Chi through the wall of a house, through a tree, and halfway into a boulder. In the next panel she only has her head and arm in bandages to show for it, and she's merely annoyed rather than in pain...as a good reminder that she probably hasn't lost her previous strength, which helps slightly.
** She also survived Goten striking her as a Super Saiyan during their sparring match (put into account that a {{Muggle}} is an ant compared to a [[GoldenSuperMode Super Saiyan]]).
* MamaBear: She may have retired from fighting, but she'll do whatever it takes to protect her sons.
* MasterApprenticeChain: Yes, even she has one since she personally trained Goten and she was trained by her father who was a student of Master Roshi: Mutaito > Master Roshi > Ox-King > Chi-Chi > Goten
* MemeticBadass: An InUniverse example.
--> '''Master Roshi:''' [[LampshadeHanging I know why! Because he's scared, that's why!]] Of the one more powerful than a Super Saiyan...''[[HenpeckedHusband his wife!]]''
* MisplacedRetribution: She blamed Goku for Gohan's injuries after their fight with Vegeta.
* MissingMom: We never see her mother, only in a picture with Chi-Chi as an infant, where she is TheFaceless, as this is an anime-only addition. It turns out the poor woman got sick when she was really little and quietly passed away.
* MoralityPet: It is hinted that she is this to the Ox-King when he was still evil.
* MsFanservice: She has been exploited over the years especially her first [[http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb283/Scadoodly/Renders/chichi.png outfit]] which is creepy considering her age, but when she grows up Chi-Chi is given a more wholesome appearance aside from one BathtubScene in {{Filler}}.
* MsViceGirl: She encourages Gohan and Videl's relationship when she finds out Videl is rich.
* MyBelovedSmother:
** Chi-Chi has a rather skewed sense of priorities when it comes to choosing between the human race's continued survival and her son's studies (something that Gohan even Lampshades in ''Super Android 13!'' when, after Chi-Chi tried to stop Gohan from going after the androids due to homework, he asks her which she values more, his studies, or Goku's survival against the Androids, which shocked Chi-Chi with this revelation enough for her to allow Gohan to go). Fortunately, she loosens up with Goten.
** She was also opposed to Videl's apparent interest in Gohan... until she discovered how much money Videl has.
** By the time Goten is born and gets older however, [[CharacterDevelopment Chi-Chi has mellowed out a bit.]] She has no problem with Goten training to fight or entering tournaments. In fact, she is the one who even initiates Goten's training.
* NoBadassToHisValet: She is married to one of the most powerful and feared beings in the universe. Doesn't stop her from yelling at Goku and forcing him to get a job. Several characters, including her son, call her the real powerhouse in the universe. She also orders around several other powerful characters like Krillin, Piccolo, and her sons, not caring that all of them can easily break her in half. The only person she never yells at is Vegeta and that's mostly because her interactions with him are limited.
* NoIndoorVoice: Mostly before the Buu Saga in the show, because she's known for being very loud.
* NoSocialSkills: Like Goku, she was raised in seclusion as a child.
* NoSympathy: Only once. She was so upset at Gohan being at the battle against Vegeta and Nappa that she showed no concern whatsoever for Goku, who by the time the fight was over, didn't have a single unbroken bone in his body. Also an OutOfCharacterMoment.
* NoSympathyForGrudgeholders: This is how Chi-Chi is portrayed regarding Piccolo. She's portrayed as an asshole when she shows her open contempt for him (mostly filler scenes). This is due to his past actions as a demon king. It also helps that she even witnessed Piccolo try to kill her husband (then fiancee). He even succeeded in doing so in the Saiyan Saga (granted Goku was doing a HeroicSacrifice, but still). Piccolo also kidnapped her son Gohan for a whole year, and he was the reason Gohan almost got killed in the Vegeta fight (that she irrationally blamed Goku for). This does diminish in the Buu Arc when she's shown to respect Piccolo more. In a filler scene, she even goes as far as to spank Goten because the latter disobeyed Piccolo's orders (while Goten was fused with Trunks, as Gotenks, mind you).
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Unlike her usual reaction to Goku fighting, after hearing that Goku Black killed an alternate version of her and Goten and that her Goku lost twice is to ask Goku why he hasn't killed him yet and that he should be ashamed for losing twice before telling him to go and finish the job.
** Chi-Chi's frantic behavior when Goku himself starts acting out of character when he was ill and when Hit was hunting him down is very unusual for her.
** The only person on Earth who can be more protective of her children and grandchild than her is [[PapaWolf Piccolo]]. His intensity and fury when Gohan or Pan are involved is the only thing terrifying enough to scare her into submission, something even Super Buu couldn't do (and he KILLED her).
* OhCrap: Chi-Chi gets this expression shortly after she slapped Super Buu in the face before she was turned into an egg and killed.
* OneHeadTaller: To Goku.
* OnlyOneName: Although she is called "Son Chi-Chi" after she marries Goku, we never hear a last name of hers.
* OutOfCharacterMoment:
** In a filler scene when she ends up getting mad at her dad and throws a destructive tantrum. Chi-Chi is usually never like that towards her father at all.
** Only once, she was so upset at Gohan being at the battle against Vegeta and Nappa that she showed no concern whatsoever for Goku, who by the time the fight was over, didn't have a single unbroken bone in his body.
* ParentalHypocrisy:
** Chi-Chi comes off as this towards Gohan, forbidding him from fighting despite her fighting herself when she was a teenager. This is understandable, as she believed that Gohan was far too young to be fighting at age 4-5. It also helps that even other characters like Krillin and Bulma lampshaded throughout the series about how children (Gohan, Goten, and Trunks) shouldn't even be fighting and engaging in dangerous activities in the first place. It also helps that Chi-Chi started fighting when she was 12, in contrast to Gohan who started fighting when he was ''4.''
** Unfortunately she's at it again with her granddaughter Pan, stubbornly arguing that she wants Pan to grow up lady-like and not a martial arts freak like the rest of the family. Yet she says this while snatching Pan away from Gohan and Mr. Satan and ''effortlessly'' [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower leaping backwards across the room in a single bound onto a piece of furniture]]. She gets over this once Videl set her straight.
* ParentingTheHusband: She acts like this towards Goku due to his childishness, much to her chagrin (at times).
* ThePowerOfHate: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL6Il8CF-uQ It once made her go Kaio-Ken.]]
* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: People often forget Chi-Chi is a princess that can kick almost any human's ass. She's also the one person that can actually control Goku.
* PrimAndProperBun: Throughout the series, she has her black hair in a bun. As seen in Super, while sleeping in bed, she wears it down instead.
* ProperlyParanoid: Her attitude towards Gohan being involved in dangerous battles come off as this.
* RetiredBadass: She chose to become an EducationMama when she had Gohan.
* PuppyLove: Towards Goku when they were children, although Goku didn't return the feeling, however it was more out of his typical naiveté on such issues rather than genuine disinterest.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She's black-haired and pale-skinned, and when she reappears during the Piccolo Jr. Saga, both Krillin and Yamcha openly comment on how gorgeous she is.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: S–Z]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: In one of the last episodes of ''Z'', "He's Always Late," she is shown in more casual clothes than her usual matronly attire. She gets quite some compliments about how good she looks.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: To the point Goku wasn't able to recognize her when they meet again at the Tenkaichi Budokai.
* ShesGotLegs: As shown [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrkvfq0WND1qhuot8o2_500.jpg here.]] She's show to have very toned legs when she's not wearing baggy pants.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Gohan and Videl after she get to know Videl better, and finds out that she's rich.
* ShoutOut: Chi-Chi's original design was ''Franchise/SuperSentai''-like. She even shot beams out of the gem in her helmet that is an homage to Ultraseven from ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Never once shows interest in anyone but Goku.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She falls in love and marries with Goku, who is pure of heart and has saved the earth on more than one occasion.
* SkewedPriorities: As mentioned above, she's convinced that Gohan's education is more important than saving the world. In ''Super Android 13!'', Gohan asks her if his education matters more to her than her husband's life when she tries to stop him from helping out, which shocks Chi-Chi enough that she lets him go.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Chi-Chi gets her fair share of AmusingInjuries towards her. First, in the original series, she gets knocked out by Yamcha. In ''Z,'' Goku accidentally slaps her against the wall, a tree, and half a rock. Also, in a filler scene when she's training Goten, he accidentally kicks her into a tree.
* SpoiledSweet: This applies to her kid self. She was rich with a sweet personality until she and the Ox-King lost all their fortune in the fire.
* StacysMom: She still looks good even after visibly aging. For example in the OVA, ''Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!'', Master Roshi acts perverted to her and staring at her boobs. Cue FryingPanOfDoom from her to the DirtyOldMan.
* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Goku in Dragon Ball. She entered the Tenkaichi Budokai in order to get him to marry her. When Chi-Chi was visibly heartbroken when she felt his promise wasn't genuine, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Goku then proposed to her for real.]]
* SternTeacher: She was one for Gohan before he enrolled in high school, as he was home-schooled most of his life after all.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110801004945/dragonball/images/1/19/Kidchichi.png outfit]] at age ''twelve''. As a teenager and adult, she wears much more modest outfits.
* SupremeChef: She's gotten a lot of comments on how good her cooking is.
* TohokuRegionalAccent: Quite thick in her initial appearances, although it tapers off to just a few salient traits once she reappears at the 23rd Budokai.
* {{Tomboy}}: Mainly as an adult.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Chi-Chi and Bulma also with this trope. In the middle of the series, after Lunch has been chucked out, Bulma is the adventurous wrench wench while Chi-Chi is mostly concerned with being a good wife and mother. However, later on in the series, Bulma settles down and doesn't change much otherwise, but Chi-Chi has relaxed a lot and is much more comfortable with reminding everyone that she's an extremely skilled martial artist in her own right.
* TomboyPrincess: She enjoys fighting and she's a princess.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Sure Chi-Chi does martial arts, but she also enjoys being a housewife and she likes wearing makeup.
* TooDumbToLive: In the Buu Arc when she [[DoNotTauntCthulhu slapped Super Buu for killing Gohan]]. He promptly transformed her into an egg and crushed her.
* TookALevelInBadass: When she was first introduced, she was a BadassUnintentional who unintentionally killed a T-Rex (key word being unintentionally). After SheIsAllGrownUp, she was an even match for Goku (who, by that point, has taken down an army, the resident SatanicArchetype, and rivals Earth's god in power). Taken further when she's training Goten, wherein she (probably middle-aged at that point) not only was an even match for someone who was close to going Super Saiyan, but survived a blow from him when he actually went Super Saiyan (which, as mentioned above, is like an ant surviving getting run over by a speeding truck).
* TookALevelInKindness: In the Buu Saga. She does not get upset as much and she less harsh on Goten than she was on Gohan, allowing him to play and not study all the time. She even trained Goten in Martial Arts and allow Gohan to skip school so he can get ready to enter the World Martial Arts Tournament. Part of this was because she took Goku's death very hard, and decided to ease up on them in honor of him.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: See TooDumbToLive above.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her outfit as a child qualified for both this and PinkMeansFeminine.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. She shares many dere-dere moments with Goku when she's not mad at him about Gohan's studies. She was originally a Type B in Dragon Ball and goes back to being a Type B in the Buu Saga.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: She's even the trope image. Ox is huge and resembles an ogre.
* UptownGirl: For Goku because she's a princess.
* ViolentlyProtectiveWife: When [[SadistTeacher Mr. Shu]] dares to insult Goku in front of her and Gohan, Chi-Chi doesn't take too kindly to hearing someone insult her husband.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Bulma. They usually get into arguments involving their husbands or sons, but they show they care for each other.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: When she was younger.
* WasTooHardOnHim: Seems to feel this way about how she raised Gohan given that she is not as strict with Goten.
* WeakButSkilled: When training Goten, she was more than a match for her much more powerful son despite not knowing squat about ki control.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Before Goku first went to train with Whis, she has him in an armlock when she catches him.
* WetBlanketWife:
** She wanted Gohan to be a scholar and learn to resolve issues peacefully, despite the dangers she and Goku faced in the past (though since this is before the Saiyans arrive, Goku was still pretty much WorldsStrongestMan so she probably didn't have much to worry at first.) She remains against all the danger her husband and son go through, but learns to adapt. After the seven-year TimeSkip, she mellows out a bit with their second son, Goten, (to where she actually trained him) and she really can't yell at Goku anymore because he's already dead. In fact, Gohan theorizes that Chi-Chi feels guilt over this behavior now that Goku's gone and that she believes might have an indirect effect on his death.
** In ''Super'', Chi-Chi is initially dead set against Goku training, demanding that he gets a job and work like a human, despite having barely survived it's encounter with Beerus. It's at least partly her desire to have Goku be someone respectable to their granddaughter Pan.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Chi-Chi has good intentions for her family, but the way she goes at it tends to be problematic.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: She is the strongest woman on the planet untrained in ki control, as pointed out by the other characters, including her youngest son, Goten.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** She gets called out by Yajirobe for showing no concern for Goku and only showed concern for Gohan at the end of the Saiyan Saga.
** Chi-Chi also gets called out by her father in the Cell Arc (it's filler) for getting upset with Goku for allowing Gohan to fight Cell.
** She herself regularly dishes these out to Goku when it comes to wanting to take Gohan to fight dangerous battles. However, considering how the writing is on the show, doesn't work. Some of what undermines her argument is that Goku may train Gohan for battle, but until the Cell Games (in which Goku made sure Gohan surpassed him) he never actually put him in live battle. The times that it happened, Saiyan and Freeza Saga, it was beyond Goku's control since he wasn't there. When he's around, the first thing he does is sideline Gohan. Not to say she doesn't have a point since Gohan is still a child during the Cell Games.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Most people wouldn't realize it, or at least it doesn't sink in, but in the beginning of the ''Z'' series, she's at most '''''23'''''. Guess motherhood really did mature her, huh?
[[/folder]]
----

* OOCIsSeriousBuisness:

* AnywhereButTheirLips: After their fight during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, she gives Goku a peck on the cheek, the only time the two have ever kissed onscreen.

* ProperlyParanoid: See BothSidesHaveAPoint above.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While she is completely obnoxious about it, Chi-Chi has a right to be concerned with Goku engaging in dangerous battles against monsters like Frieza and Cell. It helps that even other characters like Krillin and Bulma lampshade how children shouldn't even be fighting against dangerous villains. There's also the fact that around the time she shows she utterly adamant against Gohan fighting alongside Goku and the others, he really ''was'' too young to go to battle. Case in point: when Gohan fought Cell, he was ''9''. As a mother, the thought of her (then) only child going to what was essentially warfare must be unthinkable.

* DidntThinkItThrough: When Chi-Chi slapped Majin Buu for supposedly killing Gohan, she never thought of the consequences of doing so.

* O.C.C.IsSeriousBuisness

** ChiChi's frantic behavior when Goku himself starts acting out of character when he was ill and when Hit was hunting him down is very unusual for her.
** The only person on Earth who can be more protective of her children and grandchild than her is [[PapaWolf Piccolo]]. It's the only thing terrifying enough to scare her into submission, something even Super Buu couldn't do (and he KILLED her).

* EducationMama: She acts like this towards Gohan, so he could avoid the violent lifestyle of his dad. When Goten was born though, she switched from academics back to martial arts, though Super shows she still has Goten's education in mind (unknown if to Gohan's levels or not though).

** Of Princess Iron Fan from ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.

* RealityEnsues: One can say that Chi-Chi's overprotective attitude towards Gohan constantly putting his life on the line to fight dangerous monsters (minus the whole SkewedPriorities & InsaneTrollLogic) is a realistic portrayal of how real life parents were to act if their children were constantly put in dangerous situations that can result in their children getting seriously injured, or worse, killed.
** Another good instance would be how her temper getting the better than her (see FatalFlaw). This is an instance of UnfazedEveryman being deconstructed. Chi Chi is so used to the fantastical things that happen around her and that her family is a part of that she's become numbed to the dangers that her loved ones are constantly involved in. Because she's so used to the unbelievable, that her friends and family are physical gods, and that for the most part they save the day while she is generally removed from the direct danger she doesn't recognize or sense real threats until it's too late. As such, she completely let her anger get override her fear and sense of self-preservation when she slapped Super Buu for (supposedly) killing her son. Suffice it to say that unlike most of the god powerful people around her, Buu was NOT going to let Chi-Chi get away with that and retaliated in a way that was expected by all except Chi Chi until it was too late and he turned her into an egg followed by crushing her.
