Chi-Yu may be modeled after members of the ''{{wp|Cyprinidae}}'' family, specifically the {{wp|goldfish}}. The beads around its eyes make it particularly similar to the {{wp|Telescope (goldfish)|telescope eye}} and {{wp|celestial eye}} breeds. The curved beads by its eyes are based on the ''{{wp|magatama}}'', comma-shaped beads made of jade that served as ceremonial and religious objects. The coloration and location of the beads, together with Chi-Yu being borne from envy, may invoke the idea of the "green-eyed monster", a phrase coined in William Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Othello}}'' to refer to jealousy. | Chi-Yu may be modeled after members of the ''{{wp|Cyprinidae}}'' family, specifically the {{wp|goldfish}}.
