Always wondering why Chick Counterfly is given the backstory of being
a human being brought on board the Inconvenience? One level, to show the good deed intercession of the Inconvenience despite their charter not to interfere.....but

Chick is, in the group of fictional Chums, REAL. Chick is a human now caught into the (romances) that are the Chums' adventures.
