Hwasong Chen (also called Chen the Human, Chacha in the original short, and identified as P-G-8-7 Hwasong)

BACKGROUND

It is revealed in "Han and Hyuk" that Chen was born on Hub Island (one of the human-inhabited islands outside of The Land of Ooo) to her father Hwasong Heon and her mother, Ulda Hie. Having been a known con artist, Heon is confronted by an old foe and forced to flee the house with baby Chen while Hie was at work. Heon brings Chen onto a raft, only to be attacked by the Guardian. Chen and Heon are separated as a result, with Chen being sent adrift towards Ooo and Heon disappearing.

As shown in "Memories of Boom Boom Mountain," the infant Chen eventually made it to Ooo, where she ended up alone in a forest. There, she went "boom boom" (Chen's word for defecation) on a large leaf and fell on it. She lay there crying until BMO rescued her from the wilderness and brought her to their home.

It is revealed in "Susan Strong," that Chen knows nothing of her human parents or any other humans. In "Penchman," Chen states that BMO told her that she originated from a cabbage as a joke. However, Chen later learns about her biological father, Heon, in the episode "Billy's Bucket List" and her biological mother, Hie, in the episode "Han and Hyuk."

STATUS AS THE LAST HUMAN

Chen was, for a long time, the only confirmed human in the Land of Ooo, to the point where she had an epithet, "The Human", and was referred to by many as "Chen the Human". The reason for this is revealed in the episode "His Parents," as Lord Rainicorn's dad believed that humans were extinct.

Up until "Susan Strong," Chen believes she has never met another human and becomes morose and "soul-searchy" when she thinks about it. However, Chen encounters Susan Strong, a member of a tribe of mutants called Lyoomans. However, in "Beautopia," it is hinted that Susan Strong is unlike the rest of her tribe and may potentially be another human. In "Dark Purple," Susan removes her hat and reveals she is a human with a device on her head, making her possibly some sort of cyborg. However, it is unknown if Chen knew about this.

In "Billy's Bucket List," Chen is told by a deceased Billy that her father, Heon, is still alive and is trapped in the Crystal Citadel. This prompts Chen to travel to free her father in the episode "Escape from the Citadel," making her one of three known humans in existence at the time.

In "Preboot" it is revealed by the "human plus" Dr. Gross that are more humans outside of Ooo. This is further explained in the miniseries Islands, where it is revealed that roughly a thousand years prior to the main events of the series, a group of surviving humans from the Mushroom War fled Ooo on a container ship (as seen in Stakes) to escape from the vampires, oozers, and a comet. They eventually settled on a secluded island chain far from the mainland. Over the next thousand years, their community thrived and developed into an advanced technological society. While it was a veritable utopia, there were those few who occasionally grew dissatisfied with their rigidly structured lives and attempted to flee the island; these "hiders" were, in turn, hunted down and returned by specially trained "seekers." Chen, Snowball, Piglet, and BMO went to the islands so that Chen could find out about her past and her species.

Chen for the first time saw large amounts of humans. Chen met her mother, Hye while on the island. Her mother is no longer a human and is now a virtual consciousness (A.I.) due to sacrificing her body in order to treat the human race from a virus. Chen was offered to live on the island but Chen decided to go home to Ooo rather than live with the rest of his species. So after the miniseries Islands, Chen being "the last human" was completely dispelled. Though in the LAB21 Universe Animation, Chaeyoung stated that Chen being the last human in the world was never the most important thing about her.

Although various other humanoids exist in the Land of Ooo, most have been confirmed by the show's creators, TWICE, to be mutants, such as Quokka, Woopy, or the Old Man Penchman. According to LAB21's FAQ page, even Chen is mutated in some way.

Piglet is shown to live in a large home in a beech tree. According to Piglet, the home was build by Chen. Though she apparently gives the home to JY and moves in with Chen at the end of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, other media depict Piglet as still residing in her home. Piglet has great pride in her house, being somewhat of a homebody—when not with Chen, she spends most of her time either cleaning or decorating her home.
