== Biography ==
Chloe was born on the 30th of Cern, 164 CE. Her birth was particularly stressful for her mother and she herself was a small quiet baby. She contracted Yellow Fever at three months old which nearly killed her. It left her partially deaf in her right ear and entirely deaf in her left. Because of this, she failed to hit certain milestones at the appropriate ages, but was otherwise intellectually capable. Her nurse, Lenora Kuusik, had trained at the Petrikov Sanitarium for the Rehabilitation of the Insane and Malformed. She helped teach Chloe in her early years and helped her become fluent in sign language, though she would eventually learn to speak around age three. Chloe always spoke with a strange cadence, a slight impediment that she became increasingly embarrassed by as she got older. 
As the middle child, Chloe was close with both her older and younger siblings. She especially loved her sister Helena and her younger brother Irving. Chloe enjoyed caring for her baby sister Cassandra, often trying to teach the young girl signs. Unlike her older siblings, Chloe did not attend school outside of the palace as her needs were too unique and the political tensions of the empire too risky. Chloe was assigned a playmate named Talia Cyrelle who she was very close to. The girl would be one of the retainers executed alongside the Imperial Family. 
On the 18th of Vilja 176 CE, Heir Apparent Prince Roscoe Wilem was stabbed to death after peace negotiations with revolutionaries in Fleur. The royal family shutdown Isgerdia, eventually becoming completely barricaded inside Vitoria until 177 CE. On the 3rd of Igna revolutionary forces breached Vitoria, taking the family hostage. The majority of their own guards turned against them. The family was kept inside the larder of the palace for near two weeks. Chloe wrote several letters to her sister Helena during this time which she erroneously believed were being sent to the woman. Two days later, the family would be awoken from their slumber in the early morning and told to prepare themselves. In their confusion, some of the murderers told them they would be moved to Fleur for trial though after a few minutes the true nature of the moment was revealed.
The family were pushed against the wall before they could truly respond. Guinevere turned to her husband and cried, "My God!" before being shot. Chloe was holding her sister Cassandra when the shooting began. In total, approximately eighty rounds were fired before the smoke became too heavy to see. When the dust settled all were dead, save for Irving, who was injured but still living. He was huddled against the body of his father when he was bayonetted. Chloe was killed instantly by a bullet to the head though several more rounds pierced her chest and thigh. Her body was not displayed like her parents' and brother's, instead being dumped in an unmarked grave alongside her sister.

Cassandra had dark hair which she kept short and sad dark eyes. In her youth, she was happy and bubbly despite her impediments though she was said to have become incredibly somber following Roscoe's death. She only wore black until her death.
