Chie is also skilled in martial arts (it’s implied she’s self-taught; she spends much of her free time with the Protagonist “training”) and employs these tactics in battle. One of her most powerful moves is the Galactic Punt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX-A2F6QKwQ&feature=player_embedded), which is basically what it sounds like - she kicks really, really hard. MegatenWiki (http://www.popanime.net/megami/wiki/index.php?title=Chie_Satonaka) lists this as the only instant-kill follow-up move in Persona 4; this speaks highly to Chie’s great physical skills as a fighter.
Persona and kung-fu training aside, Chie is still merely mortal - able to be injured or killed, susceptible to diseases, the whole bit. She is also still an average teenaged girl, with the usual laundry list of insecurities that go along with that age.
Arguably, one of Chie’s biggest fears is that of failure. She’s tough, and strong-willed, and definitely a fighter, and she seems to have never suffered any real, crushing defeats in her life, but even so, her Shadow makes light of this insecurity by taunting Chie during their confrontation - “I can’t do anything on my own, much less as a girl.” Failure - especially failure to protect people, and even more significantly, her friends - would amount to a fundamental weakness for Chie. Since her self-made mission in life is basically to protect people, inability to do so would be devastating to her very essence as a person.
She’s also terrified of bugs, particularly grasshoppers.
Reason for Joining: Protecting people is Chie’s raison d'être - as noted above, she’s decided to pursue a career in law enforcement after high school. She would see a situation such as this as an opportunity to not only help out in that aspect, much like she did in solving the serial murders in Inaba, but also acquire valuable experience in a similar line of work (as well as see some interesting new places - remember, she’s lived in a small rural town her entire life). Also, since the murder mystery’s been wrapped up, there’s nothing terribly exciting going on in Inaba ...
Position Desired: Just an Agent is fine!
Point in Canon: She’ll be post-True Ending of the game by a couple weeks (mid-March 2012).
Notes: WARNING - Armed Legs. WARNING - Mystery Food X. WARNING - Trial of the Dragon.
