Chloe Knight

FC: Scarlett Leithold

**Chloe Summer Knight:** (b. 1st November, 2022) The child of Mathew Knight, Chloe never knew her mother. When she was moved to England after the school year started her father had no choice but to accept his daughter is a witch. She was sorted into Hufflepuff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## Appearance

She has grey-blue eyes that are further developed as she grows. She has long golden blonde hair and she mostly always wears dance clothes. Chloe is one who always likes to wear her hair up in a bun or a ponytail. A bright smile and eyes curious, Chloe is 4 feet 8 inches in height.

## Personality

Shy beyond belief. Chloe hasn’t had many interactions with kids her own age, so she doesn’t speak much when people first meet her. Chloe is better at speaking dance terms and ready to run from large groups of people. She tends to be the calm in the storm around her as she was raised to be calm and in control already, that her emotions should be for when she is alone.

## Background

Chloe was born, things only got worse for her mother. One night the mother and Mathew got into a fight. A big one where he threatened the mother and Chloe. Saying they were his and he could do what he wished as he was the man of the house. At that time, Mathew took Chloe from her room and told the mother he didn't want her any longer. He had a child he could raise to worship him and the ground he walked on. Mathew worried that people were talking poorly about him and he began to claim the mother was cheating on him and using him. That she was out of his league and he would never find someone else. But he was the one suffering. Mathew turned anyone he talked to against the mother.

As Chloe was so young, barely three months old, she was motherless as people told the mother to leave her child with Mathew as he actually cared. The pressure became too much and after one last fight, Mathew kicked the mother out and moved the next day. As he had planned to move anyway but without the mother and only with Chloe. Mathew would always ignore Chloe when she was a baby when she cried. Yes, he would feed her and ensure she was clean, but not hold her when she cried.

By the time Chloe could walk, he thought his daughter needed to start pulling her weight. Placed in different dances, Mathew came from some money, though he was a deadbeat son who never told his parents about Chloe, he wanted to get all the money he could. She was overloaded with classes that she barely had time to play.

By age 3 she was put into dance comps. She was traveling so much and her father was ensuring that people knew his daughter was a dancer. In this time, Chloe hung off her father constantly and would cry when she was on stage. Allowing Mathew to look like a good father and come get her. He would coo and get her to calm down. Until they were alone and he would ask her why she didn’t. And tell her she needed to be on stage to make papa happy. So she started to. Even though she hated it.

Her father would manipulate Chloe into performing. Making himself a victim of the situation. Asking why she liked hurting him and why she must make him look like a bad parent. He was sure to make her see him as the only person she answered to.

By the age of 4, Chloe only spoke to her father, as she was taught that he was to do all the talking. And he shouldn’t be intruded on when talking. So At any time, she would look around and not speak until Mathew was finished speaking to the adult he was talking to. It was also at this point she was talked over when she wanted to speak. Her father made her second guess what she was saying all the time. Even making fun of Chloe’s speech.

When Chloe began kindergarten, her father decided to keep her home. Giving her only 4 hours of ‘school’. In reality this was her practicing in the hotel room and her father giving her the answers. He did not teach her how to do anything, only giving her the correct answers to tell the school. He was having her dancing 4 hours a day. She wasn’t allowed to play too much, as she was supposed to rest as much as she could.

Entering her first official dance comp, she didn’t place in the slightest. Her father became angry at her, yelling at her about how disgraceful it is to have Chloe as a daughter. He increased her dancing to 7 hours, and school was still 4 hours. But her schooling was always rushed as quickly as possible. Meaning she wasn’t getting a full education.

It went on like this for years. At a comp, a letter was sent for Chloe to join the school. Her father never showed her the letter. Instead he packed up and moved them to England. Chloe was 11 years old and she wasn’t told what was going on. Just the fact he was being torn away from his daughter. And how dare someone play this prank. He explained that some strange people were trying to take her away from him. They were in England for two weeks, when Chloe got the letter for Hogwarts. She was three weeks behind in classes. And with someone coming to collect her, her father had no choice. They rushed to get her everything, her father cheaping out and the night before Chloe left, she was belittled and called gross for being a wix.

#### Life At Hogwarts

In her first Year Chloe made very few friends. Noah, Willa and Monti. In this time Chloe told Monti very little about her father, but Monti outright stated to Chloe she did not like her father. At a dance comp over summer, Noah's grandmother punched Mathew, causing things to become a little worse for Chloe.
