Champey probably lost her sight when she was left under a tree as a baby.
Champey was abandoned as a baby by her mother under a tree near a lake. People say that insects ate her left eye while she was lying there, and she can only see a little through her right eye. Champey is also deaf. When she was four years old, an orphanage found her and brought her to Krousar Thmey.
Champey does not know why she cannot see. She is a happy child, and never asks questions about what happened to her.
