Chantal was the most responsible and sensitive of the Wellards but also the most lonely, although she did love all of her family she had a tendency to get annoyed with them (especially Roxy) when schemes were taken too far and her father who she viewed as a deadbeat for a long time. She was also moved easily by gestures of kindness, shown when she actually cries over being gifted things from Jackie out of what she perceived as kindness.
She was closer to Rio than she was Roxy being unable to actually bring herself to tell him when the time came for her to leave the dumping ground as well as Rio and Roxy.
