Description
Chloe is a young woman from the farming village of Pasloe who appears as a supporting character. She is an original creation for the anime adaptation, with her role in the story being fulfilled by a different character in the source material.
Chloe has mahogany hair that falls past her shoulders and striking violet eyes. She has a voluptuous figure and notably pale skin, which is uncommon for someone who works in the wheat fields. Her typical attire consists of a white dress worn under a dark blue coat.
Having known the traveling merchant Kraft Lawrence for a long time, Chloe regards him as a mentor and friend, and harbors unrequited romantic feelings for him. She is ambitious, progressive, resolute, and talented, possessing all the promising qualities of a merchant. However, she is professional to a fault, willing to prioritize an unscrupulous business deal over friendship or even human life. Her progressive mindset, which is characteristic of the villagers of Pasloe, leads her to dismiss old gods like Holo as obsolete and unworthy of reverence. This practicality and ambition drive her actions throughout the story.
Chloe serves as one of the main opposing forces to Lawrence and Holo during the currency speculation incident in the town of Pazzio. Using the merchant skills she learned from Lawrence, she becomes a key negotiator on behalf of her village. Her village, along with Earl Erhendott and the Medio Trading Company, conspires to manipulate the value of silver coins by spreading false rumors among minor merchants, hoping to gain significant economic benefits for Pasloe. When Lawrence discovers the plot and allies with the Milone Trading Company to counter it, Chloe is tasked with stopping him due to her familiarity with him. She attempts to kidnap Holo, but the plan fails and leads to a chase through the city's sewers. When she is unable to bribe Lawrence into surrendering, she orders her men to kill him. This action triggers Holo to reveal her full wolf form, causing Chloe to faint in terror. The conspiracy ultimately fails, and Lawrence breaks off ties with her following her willingness to have him murdered and to turn Holo over to the Church.
Chloe has known Lawrence for many years, seeing him as a mentor and an object of affection. She desires to become his business partner, but he does not reciprocate her feelings in the way she hopes. This dynamic gradually sours as she chooses her village's financial ambitions over their personal connection. Her relationship with Holo is one of direct opposition. Chloe sees the wolf deity as a relic of a bygone era and an obstacle to progress, dismissing Holo's significance and ultimately attempting to have her captured by the Church.
Throughout her appearance, Chloe demonstrates a notable development from an aspiring apprentice to a hardened conspirator. Her initial interactions with Lawrence are tinged with her personal feelings, but as the plot progresses, she suppresses her emotions to pursue her goals, even ordering the death of the man she once admired. Having fainted when confronted by Holo's true form, she is last seen recovering from the incident and later appears in a cameo looking out over her home village of Pasloe from a hill.
As a normal human, Chloe possesses no supernatural abilities. Her notable skills are entirely mundane, consisting of negotiation, trade, and financial manipulation, all of which she learned from Lawrence. She also has a degree of influence due to her alliance with the Church, which grants her a relatively comfortable position within that organization.
