Spoilers ahead
Chastity, Cher, is a young hippie runaway who drifts and hitchhikes aimlessly, reflecting on life and love. She survives by her wits, engaging in occasional scams (such as pretending to be a gas station attendant and keeping customers’ payments) and accepting offers of rides, food, and shelter from men she meets, while firmly and coldly rejecting any sexual advances that come with these offers. Sometimes she is childlike, other times she is angry or destructive for seemingly no reason. She chose the name “Chastity” from the dictionary because it meant abstinence, purity, freedom from ornamentation, simplicity.
