*"Let's not say goodbye..... Let's say till our paths cross once more...." - Chloe Waverly*

**Chloe Waverly** is a long-time resident of Ashford Falls, New York and the daughter of local physician Dr. Albert Waverly and town socialite Candace Waverly. Her brothers are local entrepreneur Daniel Waverly and Benjamin Waverly.

Known for her jovial animated personality and child-like naivete, Chloe was born in October 1962 and attended Ashford Falls High School with her brothers, Rachel Hedison, Danny Featherstone, Russell Coleman and Bobbi Pierce. As a teenager, she briefly dated Blake, Russell and Danny at several times, but she was also admittedly attracted to Russell's younger brother, William Coleman, who failed to notice her as he instead tried wooing Rachel. Well-liked by her teachers and mentors, Chloe's first job was as a nanny to Cathy Creekmore and Lisa Creekmore, the daughters of Lionel Creekmore, the town mayor, who praised her and treated her as if she were his daughter.

In her home life, Chloe and Ben were often the target of sibling rivalry and bullying from their older brother, Daniel, who was often antagonizing toward them growing up. While not abusive, Dan often treated Chloe as if she had never grown above the mentality of a small child, but he indulged in frequent character assassination toward Ben for being sensitive and less inclined to sports. Although this behavior tapered off as Dan grew up, Chloe accepted his humor as good-natured ribbing, but Ben instead grew up with severe insecurity and lack of self worth issues. Chloe as a result became more close with Ben than she was with Dan. Her best friends in high school were Bobbi Pierce, Amelia Warren and Maddie Harrington, who she followed to Ashford Falls Christian Normal. With Bobbi, Amelia, Rachel Hedison, Caitlin Featherstone and Monica Baldwin, she took ballet classes at Madame Lily's Ballet School under Lily Edgecombe.

Unsure where to take her life, Chloe floated around a bit trying to find a job she liked. She was once an assistant to Dan at Ashford Falls Landscaping and later worked as a secretary at Elizabeth Easton Elementary, soon taking a job at the Ashford Falls Library during the summer once, a role that later became permanent. During her time there, both her mother and Constance Taft were usually trying to fix her up with several of the town's most eligible bachelors, like Quentin Baldwin, Len Snedeker or William Coleman. Although Quentin liked her, they had no real chemistry and their friendship remained platonic, and while Chloe was attracted to William, he was already in love with Diana Freeling from afar. Len was only interested in her clothes.

Romance-wise, Chloe was still too connected to her role as an over-grown girl to fully mature into an adult. In 1989, in order to break up her brother Blake's engagement to Caitlin Featherstone, Rachel Hedison tried re-initiating Blake's old chemistry with Chloe and for over a year and a half used staged incidents and subterfuge to make it look like as if Blake was still seeing Chloe on the side. During this period, Chloe was confused by her returning attraction to Blake and his seeming new interest in her through his engagement to Caitlin. Unaware of Rachel's duplicity, she tried becoming the sexy sterotype she thought Blake wanted, but the extreme change in her personality was giving her great anxiety. Unsure who to turn to, she went to William Coleman, the only other love of her life for advice. Seeing through these events, William confronted Rachel straight on to discontinue using Chloe as a tool to her own means by appealing to her sense of decency. Although Rachel was still not over breaking up Blake and Caitlin, she knew she was no match for William's standing in the community and instead turned to unscrupulous means.

During a particular hard winter fraught with power outages and a huge volume of illnesses, Chloe was one of several local citizens hit hard with tuberculosis and fought to stay alive. She ended up falling in love with Dr. Paul Kirkwood treating her, but when her advances became too much for him, he passed her on to Dr. Elizabeth Freeling. Nevertheless, she remained attracted to Kirkwood for some time until her brother Dan took her aside and told her to stop embarrassing herself for a very unlikely romance. She soon became aware of Kirkwood's attraction to Helen Caldwell and seeing them together pressured her into giving up on her childlike infatuation. However, she was also harshly confronted by Rachel Hedison who was already tied up a vicious triangle with Helen for Kirkwood's affection and ordered to back off rather than have to face another rival for him.

More in-line with her personality, Chloe worked intermittently between the library and the school and even did community work for Councilman Douglas Greer through 1988 and 1989, but in the following Spring, there was a series of sexual attacks in town. Bobbi Pierce, Helen Caldwell and Maddie Harrington among other girls fell prey to the rapist. When Chloe was attacked, she managed to get a view of the assailant's face and identify him as Bud Mason. As a result, her attack was much more violent and merciless and nearly fatal. Dr. Kirkwood once more became her doctor to save her life, but the violation to her character was much more damaging, and Chloe was sent to recuperate at Ardmore Mental Hospital where she was visited often by her family and closest friends.

The attack had such repercussions on her life that for the first time in her life, the bubbly and out-going aspects of her personality disappeared and she became more insecure and withdrawn. In the hospital, she befriended Francine Lawson, who had been hospitalized by her family to "cure" her lesbian lifestyle. Francine and Chloe apparently became lovers, and when Chloe was discharged from the hospital, she became a social worker to free Francine and release other patients hospitalized for misconceived reasons, among them, Rachel and Blake's step-brother, Ty Hedison. Eventually losing contact with Francine, Chloe met Jenny Turbeville through her friendship with Lisa Creekmore, and the two of them became lovers, acquiring the Old Latimer House which they restored into a residence.

In 1995, Chloe supported Sabrina Collins in the 1995 Mayoral Race due to her pro-LGBTQ rights issues. She battled Rachel once again during the election, punching her in the face over their history of slights.
