Cheelai is a near-human alien distinguished by lime green skin, short white hair, and a slender, curvy physique. She wears a purple bodysuit paired with white battle armor adorned by a green gem, a blue scouter shielding her left eye, and later dons a lavender jacket while residing on Planet Vampa. Her striking appearance garners favor from figures like Beerus, who allows her stay on his planet.

A former galactic delinquent, Cheelai evaded capture by stealing a Galactic Patrol ship, leading her to join the Frieza Force. Tasked with recruiting warriors, she operated out of self-interest rather than loyalty to Frieza. During a mission to Vampa, she encountered Paragus and Broly, rescuing them after witnessing Broly’s immense power. This sparked her bond with the socially inexperienced Broly, defying his violent upbringing.

Driven by compassion and impulsivity, Cheelai sabotaged Paragus’ control over Broly by destroying the electric collar’s remote, condemning Paragus for exploiting him as a weapon. When Broly faced annihilation from Gogeta during his battle on Earth, she intervened with stolen Dragon Balls, teleporting him safely to Vampa before fleeing there with Lemo.

After Goku supplied resources to their group on Vampa, Cheelai accompanied Broly to Beerus’ planet for training, tempering the deity’s irritation through charm and Lemo’s culinary skills. Initially wary of Goku’s motives, she gradually accepted his aid, recognizing Broly’s need for mentorship.

Skilled in pickpocketing, marksmanship, and tactical ingenuity, Cheelai relies on gadgets like capsule-stored housing and a ray gun, avoiding direct combat. Her personality blends sharp wit, fierce protectiveness toward Broly, and a penchant for reckless decisions, exemplified by clashes with Paragus and crisis-driven impulsivity.

In *Dragon Ball Legends*, Cheelai features in the Tournament of Time arc, steadfastly seeking Broly amidst universal chaos, reaffirming her prioritization of his safety over galactic stakes.
