Chibi characters follow specific proportional rules: heads are typically 1/2 to 1/3 of total body height, features are simplified and rounded, and expressions are exaggerated for maximum cuteness. The style strips away anatomical complexity to focus on personality and charm. AI chibi generation understands these proportional relationships, producing characters with the right head-to-body ratio, simplified limbs, and the kawaii expressions that define the style.
