Chyna Parks

"We'll call it the ANTernet!"

- Chyna in ANTswers

Chyna Anne Parks is a musical prodigy. Needless to say, she can play several instruments including the guitar, violin and piano. She is a talented singer and surprises people with her strong, beautiful voice. Her other talents are dancing, cheerleading, and drama. Never afraid of a challenge, she sees high school as an exciting place. Unfortunately, she needs to drag her new friends, Olive and Fletcher, out of their shells to experience it. She is the main protagonist of the show. She is teased by Lexi because Lexi sees her as a threat. Chyna is usually playing instruments or being mischievous. She is portrayed by China Anne McClain.

Personality
Chyna is an optimistic and outgoing girl who never gives up. Being witty and clever, she is always eager to help people out, but she also likes helping herself and can become selfish at certain times.

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 organising 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. Sometimes she can be intelligent, compared to Fletcher and she was smarter than Olive however this turned out to be a lie (IntelligANT). Often, she uses music to help her, during difficult times, and is known to sing too much (You're the One That I WANT), as stated by Olive and Lexi.
