Chiana is a fictional character on the TV Series Farscape played by Gigi Edgley. Her character is young, adventurous, rebellious, and full of energy. She is also incredibly agile, able to fit herself into tight spaces. She presents tough, self-sufficient image to cover her emotional vulnerability.

Chiana is a Nebari female brought aboard in "Durka Returns" when the ship she was being transported on collided with Moya. Chiana was a prisoner slated to be reprogrammed as her penchant for independent thought and rebellion ran counter to Nebari Society controlled by a government known as The Establishment. When her controller was killed, Chiana was free to join Moya's crew of fugitives.

Chiana has one brother, an older brother Nerri. They both escaped Nebari Prime when they were very young and traveled together for a few years. When Nerri joined the resistance movement opposing The Establishment, he and Chiana separated so she would not be endangered by his work.

Chiana initially shared some of Rygel's less appealing traits of selfishness and greed. More time spent on Moya however, has created a sense of loyalty and respect for her crew mates. She became involved with D'Argo and like Chiana there relationship was passionate and dramatic. Chiana reacted poorly to D'Argo's desire to settle down and have family. Rather than reject him, she forced him to break their relationship by engaging in an affair with his son Jothee.

Chiana became attached to Moya's son Talyn whom she helped birth. She was devastated when the young Leviathan and Captain Bialar Crais sacrificed themselves to destroy Scorpius' Command Carrier in "Into the Lion's Den".

In "Losing Time" Chiana encountered an Energy Rider. Ever since, she has experienced prophetic visions that leave her disoriented and temporarily blind. With each new vision, the blindness lasted longer until she was left completely blind. She later received new eyes from a Diagnosan which enabled her to see through walls and identify energy sources.
