Casi, known in Japan and some US & UK games as Charu (チャル) is an artificial intelligence program that takes the form of a human girl. She appears to help out whenever she can or assists the Professor.
Appearance[]
Casi is a pale-skinned girl originally with big violet eyes that became green over time, and long flowing green hair usually worn straight down or in a ponytail.
In Ape Escape and Ape Escape: On the Loose, Casi wore a black spandex outfit with white cuffs below her shoulder and around her neck, and the Professor's insignia on her chest. She also wore white socks with red, white, and black shoes, two red bracelets, and a pair of red and white circled ear pieces.
In Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed, she wears the same outfit, but now has a spider motif.
In Ape Escape: Million Monkeys, she wears a sleeveless white shirt with short blue shorts.
Personality[]
Casi is a helpful girl who appears to behave formally with others. She is very nice but a quiet girl. She is a loyal assistant to the Professor and not quite as pushy or hot-headed as Natalie.
Biography[]
Working at the Professor's lab, she helps Spike travel through time by giving him instructions on how many apes he has to catch. She also displays the level titles and how many monkeys are in these stages.
When Natalie and the Professor were kidnapped by Specter and his monkeys, Casi became Spike's temporary mentor until they were rescued.Casi fulfills the same role as the previous game by telling how many Monkeys there are in a level.
Casi joined the Hi-Tech Tournament along with Spike, Natalie, and the Professor. This in turn made her a playable character. After the final battle they had with the Grid Core, Casi helped everyone escape from the world the Grid Core had trapped them in. They all arrived back in the normal virtual world safe and sound.
In gameplay, she can jump up to 3 times.Casi appears in Million Monkeys with a physical body, but also Virus-variations of herself used by the enemy.
Other Appearances[]

Trivia[]
- The name "Charu" originates from the Japanese pronunciation of Virtual (バーチャル), which is fitting, as she is an AI program. Her English name is also appropriate, as it contains the letters A and I (Casi).
- Despite not being present in Ape Escape 2, Jimmy can unlock 4 bonus sketches of her.
- Casi is called "Charu" in both English versions of Ape Escape 2 and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
