Chisatae

Chisatae is the femslash ship between Tae Hanazono and Chisato Shirasagi from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Tae is the guitarist of the band Poppin'Party (Popipa), while Chisato is the bassist of the idol band Pastel*Palettes (PasuPare). Both girls attend Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy, Tae being a year below Chisato.

The two girls are both observative and calmer characters, but are also very different as well. Tae has an imaginative mind. She's a very relaxed individual who does things at her own pace but is still down for anything. She also has a tendency to daydream and make odd remarks as well. Chisato on the other hand is a little more mature, she's a realist and although generally polite, can be very blunt in her manner of speaking. Unlike Tae, Chisato somewhat prefers a sort of peace and order of things. Together though, they make a particularly odd pairing.

They have a couple of lounge interactions, and are in two Event Stories together. Their first meeting was in the Event Story "Run Away Rabbits!" in which Chisato bumps into Tae and her bandmate Arisa, as they're trying to locate the rabbits let loose into the school. Tae begs Chisato to help, who ends up joining them in their search. In the end helping Tae out gave Chisato the inspiration she needed for the next PasuPare costumes.

Later on, they interacted in "The Whitest Day" Event. White Day is a holiday where people reciprocate gifts received on Valentines' Day. Tae bumps into Chisato a few days prior to White Day, whom she asks to help her think about what to do for the day since the two of them have absolutely nothing to do. As blank as a sheet of paper, a fully white day, as Tae puts it. The rest of the event centers on the two, along with a few others joining along, going around figuring out what to do for White Day. They go to a candy shop together, then the station, they stop at Tsugumi's cafe for a bit, shop at the mall, etc. When they eventually go to the arcade Tae notices a giant stuffed rabbit plush that reminds her of her pet rabbit Oddie, and tries winning it in a crane game. After failing, she asks Chisato if she would want to try the game. Chisato decides to give it a try, and managed to win the rabbit plush almost immediately. Tae and the others are impressed, but Chisato simply brushes it off as a fluke. Although seeing how much Tae wanted it, Chisato then lets Tae have the plush, saying "It would be happiest with the person who appreciates it the most." Tae is delighted and happily accepts the gift. By the end of the day, Chisato and Tae talk about the whole white day experience, even though in the end Tae and Chisato didn't figure out what to do on their White Day, Tae says that thanks to Chisato there wasn't a single dull moment. Chisato, although she was somewhat reluctant to joining Tae for the day at first, says she enjoyed the time as well, and thanks her. Tae remarks that she is the one who should be thankful, and that she wants to repay Chisato for the rabbit plush.

In Tae's Special Card Story for the White Day Event, she mentions how impressive she thinks Chisato is, especially "how easily she took charge while also keeping [Tae] at the front of her mind." She notes how well Chisato fits the older-student role and how she brought her to so many places she wouldnt have gone to before, thankful for her help brightening up Tae's White Day. In Chisato's Special Card Story, she says that Tae is "a very mysterious individual." She thinks that with Tae's way of thinking or just the special vibe she gives off, that there's never a dull moment with her. "Quite the opposite, in fact." as Chisato says, and that without Tae, she wouldn't have spent time with everyone else. She admires Tae's charm that so naturally just bring people together, that she has a type of charisma, an effect on people, Chisato included.

Fanon
This pairing is a rarepair within the fandom, for the sole reason that that both characters in the ship, like most rarepairs, are often shipped with other characters mainly. For Tae it's Taesaaya and Taeari, while for Chisato it's Ayachisa and Kaochisa. People liked the odd quirky dynamic portrayed in the White Day Event between them, and with the second season of the anime having Tae interact with Chisato much more for almost an entire episode, the ship grew more, although ultimately is still considered a rarepair.
