Chandra

Wadi girl in the game of Chula

A girl encountered inside the Wadi game Chula in the episode Move Along Home, whose hopscotch rhyme Sisko, Kira, Dax and Bashir must copy to pass a barrier.

Chandra is a child who appears in the first-season episode Move Along Home. After Quark is caught cheating the Wadi, the first delegation to visit from the Gamma Quadrant, their leader Falow makes him play a game called Chula, in which Benjamin Sisko, Kira Nerys, Jadzia Dax and Julian Bashir find themselves trapped as the living pieces.
In one of the early stages the four come upon Chandra playing a hopping game on a patterned floor and chanting a rhyme that begins with the word allamaraine. She passes freely through a force field that throws the officers back.
Dax works out that the rhyme and its steps are the key. The four officers follow the girl, hopping and singing the verse, and are let through, one of the more famously undignified moments in the series.
