In _Zero no Tsukaima_ , when Louise's older sister, Éléonore, is first seen,
she shouts, "Louise! Chibi-Louise!" She calls Louise this many times, as
pictured below.

What does this expression mean, and why does Éléonore use it when the rest of
Louise's family does not?

Why does Éléonore call Louise "Chibi-Louise"?


The word "Chibi" (ちび or チビ), means "short person" or a "small child".

Louise is the vertically challenged youngest sister in the family. So it makes
perfect sense for her older sisters to poke fun at her with the name "Chibi-
Louise". (or "short Louise")
