Chloe Price

Hey, nerd! It's-

[No. No, that sounds.. impersonal. She smacks her forehead and sighs, gesturing towards the camera.]

Cut, cut. That sounds dumb. Let's try again. Okay. Ready?

Sup, it's Chloe! Ugh. Of course it's me.

[This is so fucking. Awkward. She can hear how rehearsed this sounds and it just sounds so fake.]

Hey! Hi! Hello!

[None of these sound right. Ugh. She just had to decide to go about this a different way than say, a letter. That would've been easier. But sometimes there are things you have to say that can't be said in writing. They mean more than that.]

Okay, okay! Let's... [Chloe clears her throat.] Anna! Hey, I-

[Chloe rolls her eyes at her own damn self.] Fuck it. Look. I'm- I'm gone, okay? Let's get that out of the way right now, because there's something hella more important that I gotta tell you. I love you. Like, a lot. I know I've never been too good at saying it as often as I could've. But I figured I didn't have to, you'd just... know.

I thought I knew what love is before. I thought I'd never have it again, that... I dunno. Nothing ever seemed to go right, so why would I ever get my hopes up? But then I met you, and girl. You proved me wrong on both things. Because love isn't... love is-

It's. waking up every day next to you. It's in all the things we do together. Our battles, the dates, staying up way too fuckin' late and laughing at stupid shit. The way you smile. It's- you just.. life is good when you're in it, when it never was before.

[Is that- is she sniffling?]

Don't be sad. Don't you dare cry, either. No tears. Just... smoke a blunt and think about all the laughs we had, okay? Those memories are all that matter! Wherever I end up... they're what I'll be thinking about. Anyway- yeah, that's.. that's all.

Okay, Munchies, cut. [Chloe heaves a huge sigh, shaking her head. That was. a Lot.]

Damn, I'm not even actually gone but I felt like I was there for a second. Shit. Anyway, so yeah- erase like the first few minutes of that, it's garbage. Start from the emotional bits.

[Munchies gives an enthusiastic nod.

He saves the entire video.]

Personality:

All things considered, Chloe hasn't lived the easiest of lives. Because of this, she isn't easy to get along with, either. The two biggest factors in Chloe's life that sent it all spiraling downhill is the death of her dad as well as her best friend, Max, moving away shortly after. Without Max there to keep her from making bad decisions, Chloe inevitably closed herself off and started to act out in various way, which created a strain on her relationship with her mother and everyone else around her.

She's angry because her father died, she's angry because her mother married someone she doesn't get along with and she's angry because she's alone. Her unhappiness at home is a big part of what drives her down the path of recklessness. She's resentful that her mother remarried, much less to David Madsen of all people. She and David have an awful, antagonistic relationship and Chloe often refers to him as "stepdouche". She has no respect for him at all and actively antagonizes him whenever she gets the chance.

Her relationship with her mother is better though- she loves her mom, even if she's terrible at showing it and often causes her mother more grief than she intends. It's just hard, y'know, when you have so much anger and resentment build up. She tries to distance her mom from her shenanigans as much as possible, but when you get into as much trouble as Chloe does, it's not an easy feat.

On the outside, it all looks like typical teenage rebelliousness. Chloe likes to spend her free time drinking, smoking up or just generally having a good time, so she isn't angry or resentful all the time- in her down time, she enjoys music, going to concerts, having a good time and chilling with people. Some would say she can be funny, witty and overall a chill person to hang out with. She's just had the misfortune of falling in with the Wrong Crowd and as a result, she's gotten into some pretty bad situations.

She's been in trouble for vandalism, drug use, violence and theft and as a result she's been expelled from Blackwell Academy because of it; though her abysmal GPA of 1.7 probably had a lot to do with it as well- which is hilarious, because it's revealed in "Before The Storm" that she's actually good at science and potentially other subjects, she just doesn't give enough of a shit to go to school. So she's smart, it just doesn't necessarily show because she's too busy sticking it to the man.

There was one good thing about her going to Blackwell though; she met Rachel Amber. Rachel was essentially Chloe's rock and savior. It's stated by Chloe that Rachel saved her life, helped keep her from spiraling too far out of control. Rachel was there for her when no one else was, Chloe immediately felt a connection to her and for the longest time, Rachel was the only good thing in her life. For better and worse, she's had a large influence on Chloe's life right down to Chloe's signature "hella" that she picked up from Rachel.

Needless to say, Rachel disappearing really did a number on Chloe. It's made it hard for her to be optimistic or happy, she honestly feels lost without her, just the same she did with Max.

When Max comes back into her life, it's obvious from the start that despite how happy Chloe is to see her, she holds some anger and resentment towards her for leaving and not keeping in touch. They were best friends, after all. She's angry and hurt and she lets Max know, because she isn't the type to hide her anger or hold her tongue even when it comes to friends.

That's the one thing that drives people away from Chloe and gets her in trouble the most- her mouth. She isn't afraid to speak her mind, nor does she think through the ramifications of her actions or her words and she can be downright reckless. At a few points in the game, Max has to rewind time because Chloe has gotten herself in trouble, either physically or verbally because she's picked a fight when she shouldn't.

Don't think she doesn't love Max, though- as far as she's concerned, having Max back is the best thing to happen to her. For better or for worse, they both have each other's back. To get an idea of how much she cares for and values Max, it's revealed in "Before the Storm" that Chloe regularly wrote letters to Max that she wouldn't send, because she got tired of Max never writing her back. But in spite of that, she'd always said she would gladly welcome Max back without a second thought.

Chloe, for all of her faults, is a good friend. Once she cares about someone, there isn't anything she won't do for them- it's not an exaggeration to say she would kill for them. When finding out that Rachel's been murdered, Chloe is at first so grief stricken that she can't do anything but sob. When she recovers, she's out for blood and doesn't even think twice before she's rushing off to literally go kill the person she thinks is responsible for it. Chloe doesn't play around.

Adding to that, Chloe is resourceful and smart. It's with her help that they uncover the mystery behind Rachel's disappearance, and while she might not have the powers Max does, she's good at lying and convincing people when she needs to- or outright arguing with them, honestly. In "Before the Storm", it's often Chloe's talent at arguing that gets her what she wants. While it gets her in trouble, it also benefits her occasionally.

That's why it's good that she has Max in her life- Max keeps her from going overboard or doing anything too reckless, which Chloe sometimes takes for granted. She's always quick to encourage Max to use her powers, never once thinking of the consequences no matter how many times Max tries to tell her that they can't rely on them.

Over the course of the game, Chloe comes to realize just how much she cares about Max and how good she's been to her. It all comes to a head when they both realize that Chloe needs to die in order to set things right in Arcadia Bay. She selflessly accepts the fact and even admits to her wrongdoings, her shitty behavior towards her parents and shows remorse for it all. But above it all, she loves Max and doesn't want Max to ever forget her.

All in all, Chloe is unpredictable, wild, reckless, always ready to do stupid shit for fun or profit, occasionally selfish; the list goes on. She's just very much the type of person who relies on others a little too much, whether she realizes it or not. It's not that she's a bad person, she just makes a lot of mistakes.

Victory Road Sample:

[The feed clicks on and Chloe gives a thumbs up as greeting.]

Sup. So, uh- how's the weather been lately? Normal? Any freak storms? Animals acting weird? anyyy... tornados? Asking for a friend, she likes chasing storms.

[Yeah, that's totally believable. She's not asking because she's paranoid that the giant tornado from Arcadia Bay might have followed her here to exact it's revenge on her for, y'know, just existing. She can't help but think she got off easy, that it's going to realize she's in fact still alive, and just...

Ended up in the Pokemon world? Somehow? It's an easier thing for her to accept than it is for most people, considering the alternative was staring directly into that swirling vortex of doom. All things considered it could be worse. But she's waiting for the other shoe to drop.]

Also, how the hell am I supposed to get this loser from eating everything in sight?

[As she speaks, she points the camera at her starter, Munchlax, who's sitting on the ground chowing down on all the nuts and berries Chloe half-heartedly scrounged around for him. It won't leave her alone, so she feels obligated to take care of it.]

You know that friend who always says they aren't hungry but then asks if you're gonna finish your fries? He's that friend but on steroids. I don't share my fries with anybody.

[She sounds so exasperated as she points the camera back at herself.]

I named him Munchies, which didn't offend him as much as I wanted it to. Actually, I don't think he gives a shit.

Yo!
