Chase Anderson

Chase is a character from My Next-door Neighbors!. He is a freshman in high school and the friend and former neighbor of Doris Brooks.

Appearance
Chase is a teenager of medium height. He has light blue eyes and a small nose. He often appears happy, though his smile is not always genuine.

His hair is light brown with a slightly orange tint and is well-combed and short. He has fringe that goes to the left side of his face, stopping at his eye.

He usually wears red clothing.

Personality
Chase is a charismatic and charming boy who is popular and has many friends. He is easygoing and naturally makes people feel special when they talk to him. Though unintentional, this causes many girls to be attracted to him.

He is optimistic and always seems happy, though that is sometimes a facade. He is talkative and likes to include others in his conversations and activities whenever he can.

Brayson Arai
Chase and Bryson are former step-brothers.

At the beginning of the story, they have a hostile relationship, mostly on Brayson's side because he believes that Chase abandoned him and his mother. Soon, they reconcile and grow closer, acting like brothers once again and playing video games with each other just like they did when they were kids.

They now have a steady relationship and tend to confide in each other, though it is mostly Chase who opens up about his problems.

Brayson believes that Chase's greatest strength is his ability to deal with annoying people and not get angry with them.

Azami Arai
Azami is Chase's former step-mother.

They are on good terms, and Azami still allows Chase to hug her and call her "Mom". She does not seem to blame him for staying with his father instead of with her and Brayson.

Mr. Anderson
He is Chase's father.

They have a rocky relationship, but seem to be growing a bit closer. Chase sees him as a bit selfish, especially when he proposes that they move. His father reveals that he just wants to get away from the Arais, saying that it is better for everyone if they do not live in the same building. Chase accepts this but still harbors some negative feelings toward him.

Doris Brooks
Chase and Doris are close friends and neighbors, often hanging out with each other and having movie nights with their friends. He is the first person to befriend her when she starts attending their school. He tends to look out for her and does his best to support her in her endeavors. He also encourages her to be more outgoing.

Chase has romantic feelings for her. He admits this to Bryson Arai and later Emmett Neilson. When Zeke Harrington learns about this, he tells Chase that Doris knows that he likes her and is starting to distance herself from him because of that. He then tells him that it would be easiest for them if he tried to grow apart from her.

Doris returns Chase's feelings but believes that he is in love with someone else. This causes her to despair and become agitated whenever she is around him. Though their relationship is easygoing and light-hearted at the beginning of the story, it is now somewhat strained.

Annabelle Williams
Chase and Annabelle are close friends and are on good terms with each other. Before his move, they hang out with each other often and watch movies together with their other neighbors.

Annabelle is the first of his friends whom Chase introduces to Doris when she comes to their school. This is because he thinks that she is a nice person.

Zoey
Zoey and Chase were friends but now have a strained relationship and do not interact often.

They share the same P.E. class, and that is where they met. Because Zoey does not seem to have friends, Chase decides to be extra kind to her and make sure that she is included in all activities. This causes her to develop romantic feelings for him and later confess over text. He turns her down, saying that he loves someone else.

Because of this, she believes that he is a bit manipulative and not a genuine person, saying that he tends to make everyone with whom he interacts feel special even if he does not actually care much about that person.

Emmett Neilson
Emmett and Chase are close friends that are often seen spending time with one another. They seem to trust each other and have an overall good relationship.
