Chiana is a fictional character on the television science fiction series Farscape, played by Gigi Edgley.
Chiana is a Nebari, a grey skinned race whose society is heavily regimented by the government (known as The Establishment). Chiana's independent ways made her a target for government reprogramming, but she successfully escaped, and ended up a prisoner on Moya with the rest of the crew.
Chiana is best known for her adventurous spirit, and open nature. She has displayed that she is a more than competent fighter, and amazingly agile and acrobatic. She tends to crouch on objects, rather than sit or stand.
Chiana has had a romantic attraction to D'Argo, which underwent several shifts during the course of the series, but ultimately ended when - under extreme guilt - she had an affair with D'Argo's son Jothee; D'Argo distanced himself from her immediately afterwards, but both have become good friends again since. She also has displayed an attraction to John Crichton, who has bestowed upon her the nickname "Pip" (which is reportedly actor Ben Browder's real-life nickname for Gigi Edgley). She also attracted a less-friendly nickname of "Miss Monochrome" from Jool not long after they first met.
Chiana was present, and assisted, with the birth of Moya's son, Talyn and maintained an emotional connection with both Moya and Pilot after the event.
After her encounter with an Energy Rider, Chiana began to experience precognitive visions that left her with blindness and splitting headaches. These visions later evolved into being able to see in slow motion, and each time she used this ability, the blindness afterwards lasted longer, until she ended up competely blind. Later on she received new eyes from a Diagnosan that allowed her to see energy sources and to see through walls.
