Chloe looking up at (to) you.

Chloe Royz is a daughter of a potent psychic nicknamed ESPer who was most active during the events of Time Crystal and Ice Crystal. She is also a sister to Arthur Royz, although they share only a mother in common. After Arthur's sacrifice during the events of Ice Crystal, Chloe fled to Insomnia with Excellion where she has worked as Kosmos's servant and bodyguard ever since.

Chloe won't deny any order from either Excellion, Kosmos and Shiro, although to a degree in Shiro's case, but that loyalty doesn't extend past those three.

## Appearance

Chloe Royz is quite short ever for her age. Her ember eyes are usually covered by a blindfold, to ease the mind-reading since, according to Chloe, doing so without a blocked vision causes immense pain. Chloe uses Kosmos's custom-sewn outfit for battles, it grants her protection against elements, physical and ether damage.

Chloe is a 10-year old girl with psychic abilities in the Ice Crystal arc. She plays a secondary role, irritating her brother Arthur Royz from time to time. She attracts attention of Excellion who later pursues her to a dark alley as a shapeshifted offender, an event that changed Chloe's personality and ideals for the rest of her life.⠀

After the final battle with ESPer Arthur asks Excellion to look after Chloe in his stead. The writer gives the son of genesis a book titled "Ice Crystal" and tells him to pass it to Chloe after she had matured enough.

After her brother's disappearance, Chloe keeps asking Excellion of his whereabouts, never finding out truth in the end. To somehow evade that topic for the time, Excellion brings Kosmos along to meet Chloe.

## ~~Profane birthright~~ By design!!

### Forest Encounter

Chloe, alongside Rita, was first discovered by Tael on his quest of collecting firewood. While her friend hid behind a stump, Royz had attacked the strongest creature alive and was met with a light-speed flurry of slashes which rendered her unable to continue fighting. However, Tael showed mercy by healing Chloe. When Excellion caught up with the three, Chloe decided to follow him on the quest to keep a close eye on Tael:

> "His might, Excellion... I have to stay"

Royz parted ways with Rita and soon the three heroes headed back to Constantine and Talkbox.

Chloe's cooking is flavorless to the point of cucumbers being the stand-out of her dishes.

### Soul fight 1&2

Chloe teamed up with Tael to defeat a powerful Clockwork caster, Soul, who utilized time-suspense magic.

Two heroes utilized... unconventional means of combat and no matter the shame it brought, victory was more important.

### Protodrake Cave

Chloe retrieved a spear which was used to kill Constantine's father, Sunrisen. The team brought the spear back to Aspid and Lida, a local blacksmith, managed to reawaken it.

### Tactical Precision Disobey

Chloe initially took part in the fight but backed out due to the rising danger. After TPD was melted into a steel ball, Chloe used Reawakened Spear to cut-open the way to its heart.

### Femme Fatale

Chloe proposed herself as bait to lure out the royal messenger who was known as an active sexual predator. Talkbox advised the rest of the party to hold on to their judgement and let Chloe try to get herself out of the situation, which she did, awakening Souls at Zero.

### The Dragon of Constant Agony

Chloe teamed up with Kuro to bring Constantine down. She provided the map for her teammate while Kuro was climbing up the Dragon of Constants. During this encounter she lost her katana as well as her blindfold, a couple limbs and vital internal organs. However, after the fight, Excellion regenerated her body. Kosmos's custom-made blindfold couldn't be recovered...

## Abilities

### Mind-reading

Chloe can read mind of any living being, although some may intervene or outright block her readings. Chloe uses mind-reading to not only foresee the opponent's movements but also to see the battle from their perspective to find weaknesses in their stance.

### Anti-gravitational Halos

A basic magic taught to her by Excellion. Chloe uses the rings of light to hold weapons mid-air, block hits or even close her own wounds.

### Blood Arts:

* Homuramaru: Chloe creates a blood-made blade.

### Reawakened Spear

Reawakened Spear has 3 modes of combat: Spear-form, Axe-form and Scythe-form.

Reawakened Spear is capable of opening a direct pathway to the enemy's heart. However, to do that, Chloe must be well-acquainted with whoever she wishes to inspect. So far she managed to open a pathway to Tactical Precision Disarray and The Dragon of Constants.

#### ビブレイド

ビブレイド (BiBureido) - is an experimental sword given to Chloe by Excellion in order to replace her previous weapon that she had lost in Wyveria during the fight with the Dragon of Constants. The name is a clever wordplay: originally nicknamed Vibrate Blade by Chloe was shortened to ViBlade, which, in turn, was katakanized to ビブレイド (BiBureido). The "Bi" part of ビブレイド is yet another nod at the fact that Chloe is wielding two blades at the same time. Perhaps there is a third hidden meaning, unknown to anyone. ビブレイド is capable of cutting through almost any material, however it first needs biometrical data from Chloe before it can be used without repercussions.

### Stand

    Souls At Zero reads the minds of every person on the battlefield simultaneously, projecting a 3-dimensional map of the enemy/ally positions onto Chloe's FOV. Royz may extend the map onto anyone else if she so desires. Souls At Zero is also able to deal moderate physical damage and block hits.

Souls at Zero inhabited Chloe's heart from birth, enabling mind-reading.
