Page "That's So Raven" Paragraph 19

* Chelsea Ophelia Daniels, played by Anneliese van der Pol, Aged 14 – 15 ( Season 1 ), 15 – 16 ( Season 2 ), 16 – 17 ( Season 3 ), 17 – 18 ( Season 4 ).

Often referred to as Chels, She is Raven's female best friend.

She is an environmentalist, vegetarian, and closet artist.

She is portrayed as being dimwitted ( although earlier seasons portray her to be almost as smart as Raven, but to extreme limits ); at times, her stupidity is so potent that she is frequently oblivious to what should be obvious and unable to discern sarcasm from sincerity.

She usually uses the catchphrases " That makes more sense!

" or '" This is awkward!

" She also likes to make jokes, which only she would laugh at.

Despite her apparent lack of common sense and intelligence, she has a few surprises up her sleeve — such as occasionally knowing certain " smart " things, which usually tends to surprise everyone else.

In Season 1, it is revealed that Raven and Chelsea's friendship goes all the way back to when they were in pre-school, but she was also shown to be dimwitted back then because she did not notice Raven blowing out the candles on her birthday cake.

It should also be noted that Chelsea was just as caring when she was young as she is now because one of her unfulfilled wishes on that same birthday was to stop global warming.

She is quite similar to Newt ( from Cory in the House ) in personality.

Occasionally, Chelsea refers to a specific relative, Cousin Earl, at times.
