Chula

A former member of the Thai national climbing team, she grew up on limestone cliffs. Her long black hair is braided into a thick plait, her skin tanned to a glossy honey color by the sun, and she has a fit, curvaceous figure with beautifully defined arm lines. She always wears white tape on her hands. Off the wall, she walks barefoot on the sand, and at night she plays drums at beachside bars.

Personality. Sunny, straightforward, and competitive. She loves a challenge; a simple "If you're scared, just quit" is enough to make someone grit their teeth and climb up. Her lessons are strict, with no compromises on safety rules. She has a loud laugh and enjoys teasing people—she laughs even harder when she sees someone blush—but if someone is genuinely trembling with fear, she's the first one there to take their hand. When she's in a good mood, she sprinkles in some climbing jargon.
