Chi-Ji is a large white crane celestial with red accent feathers and ruler of the Temple of the Red Crane on the southern central coast of the Krasarang Wilds. Chi-Ji can sometimes be seen flying around the Cradle of Chi-Ji off the coast of the Krasarang Wilds to the southwest of the temple.
Mists of Pandaria
Edit

Shortly before the emergence of sha, Anduin Wrynn trained with him for a short time. Thanks to the efforts of Anduin and the champions of the Horde and the Alliance, Chi-Ji and his Temple of the Red Crane were freed of the corruption of the Sha of Despair.
Chi-Ji and the other three August Celestials opened the gates to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
Chi-Ji helps the adventurer atop the Pedestal of Hope in defeating Ellia Ravenmane, who has forsaken Chi-Ji's hope and become possessed by a sha. After the fight Chi-Ji thanks the adventurer, telling them that they embodied the Way of the Crane.
Chi-Ji also granted his powers to an adventurer who was about to kill Zhao-Jin the Bloodletter.
War Crimes
Edit

Chi-Ji and other Celestials chose to hold a trial involving the members of the Alliance and Horde rather than sentence Garrosh Hellscream among themselves. During the trial, Chi-Ji took the form of a blood elf as a show of respect to the gathered races.
