	The term ''sweet, but pretentious'' is often used to describe Chloe's demeanour. When she was embraced she was a seemingly well-educated and mannered young girl, with a naturally sweet and kind personality, who always spoke the truth - even when others didn't want to hear what she had to say. It has been centuries since, and that innocent child died long ago - but the innate personality and habits of her upbringing are still there, and Chloe wields her child appearance like a fine weapon for full potential.

	Rare for an elder, Chloe does not appear to have any interest in political power. She seems to care about her clan, especially her ''sister'' Helen, who she is notably protective over and to those who know them well, is effectively a mentor and guardian over - ironic considering Helen visibly acts that way to Chloe, leading those not in the know to believe Helen is Chloe's mentor, whilst it is actually the reverse. It is a beneficially co-dependent relationship - Helen helps care and mentor Chloe's mental health and social integration (especially with kine/modern society), whilst Chloe mentors Helen in kindred affairs.

	Chloe has shown to be interested in the arts and literature - she can recite Homer's ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliad Iliad]'' (in the original Homeric Greek) or Ovid's ''Metamorphoses'' (in classical Latin) by memory, loves going to the opera, theatre and music concerts - more for the environment and experience, than any particular preference for the music itself... she does not like most modern music (often considering them "noise") but would still enjoy going to a heavy metal concert. Many people are unaware that she is skilled in various musical instruments (particularly the piano and violin) and has a rather beautiful singing voice, which evidences some vocal training. She also loves dancing and one of the few shows she watches on television is "Dancing with the Stars" and she can dance to professional level to most of the dance styles they perform (she claims this is because they became fashionable during her existence and learnt them by keeping up with the trends) - though reactions to seeing an apparent 11-year-old dancing a samba or paso double vary from "cute" to "disturbing". She feels that the elegance of traditional balls has been lost in modern society, and still enjoys the elegance and glamour of wearing a nice dress and dancing the night away at a ball or similar function. These interests make it quite easy for Toreadors, Ventrue and Brujah scholars to have common ground with her to become allies - although to their loss most Toreadors and Ventrue would not allow themselves to be seen as being anything more than polite to ''one of the lunatics'' and risk the social jabs that would likely follow in their clans (especially the Toreador). So keen is she on the above, in fact, that some have wondered if Chloe is in fact secretly a Toreador turned mad by Damien's machinations - although of course the Toreadors vehemently deny this and find the suggestion insulting, and Chloe would never allow any Thaumaturge to study her blood to determine the truth. The Malkavians, of course, find it both preposterous and funny. Her insight and wisdom, they claim, is simply too obviously great for her to be anything other than a Malkavian.

	~~No information~~ in ~~database~~.		Chloe's social style - and how she should be approached - depends on both if she is dealing with kindred or kine, and if she is suffering a regressive episode or not.

			When regressing, her attitude does not perceivable differ between kindred and kine - she is concerned only with her own interests, curiosity and entertainment. She tends to cling to strong father-figures (though not abusive ones, a paternal or firm approach is better than an aggressive one that is likely to make her angry and rebellious) and can be easily influenced by those with either good charisma or the ability to manipulate others. The regressive child is innocent and typically takes things at face value - believing things she would not. Whilst her personality is that of a child, however, bear in mind that she is still an elder and although she will take things at face value, is still knowledgeable and can identify falsehoods if they contradict her own knowledge. Whilst regressing, she is generally more excitable and impulsive, keen to "fun" action over "boring" discussions and intelligence-related tasks, which can be used to make her do things her better judgment would normally prevent her doing. If approached properly and she decides she likes you, she can be very affectionate, playful and helpful. The flip-side is that this also makes her more impatient, and therefore quick to lose focus on serious tasks, discussions, and more prone to outbursts of anger - which very quickly leads to frenzy... and a frenzied elder is never good to be around.

			When not regressing, her style varies. Around mortals, or kindred who do not know yet know her status, she typically plays up her age - acting like a young child. Or at least, she acts like a centuries-old person, robbed of her childhood, vaguely recalls and believes modern children are like. Her act would likely seem strange to anyone with actual experience with child behaviour, acting erratically for her physical age - often acting "too young and immature" or "not immature enough". Still, she is old and an experienced liar, and can play the role convincingly enough that she may simply seem more mature or immature for her apparent age, at least for a short duration. She finds it too tiresome to do this charade long-term and therefore only typically ''acts her apparent age'' around mortals (as a tiresome and insulting necessity for the masquerade) or to get the measure of a kindred she doesn't know (which she finds entertaining and informative). This facade drops rapidly the moment it ceases to be useful to her. Only the most socially ignorant Camarilla kindred in Ashford do not know that she is an elder, so trying to act her physical age amongst the kindred is generally pointless, and she knows it - but this has proven a useful surprise advantage against inexperienced and ignorant marauding Sabbat and autarkis that [fatally] judged her by her appearance. She is respectful to the kine for much the same reason she is to kindred - it is not their fault they have such short lives, after all, and respects the innovation and passion of the living, which she feels the kindred typically lack. Nonetheless, her attitude towards the kine can be compared with how a breeder may care for the horses in her stable. She may care for them and even prefer some over others for various reasons, like a prized stallion, but the bottom line is that mortals are like animals to her. Likable and usable, but expendable. Give her the choice of saving 10 mortals or one Malkavian neonate, and the wise money would be on her choosing to save the Malkavian.

			Generally with kindred she is respectful and attentive. She listens when spoken to and rarely interrupts, unless she feels there is a need to do so - more likely to crush someone's argument once they finish their discourse, than interrupt an obviously flawed discourse. Whilst she may and typically is polite when then destroying their discourse, it is no less devastating and even Toreador ancilla pause and think about their next words before speaking in her presence. In many ways she is a proponent of education - even if that education is public humiliation or upsetting pranks... the recipient may lose face but they learn and become wiser in the process. She also understands that wisdom comes from insight - and therefore respects and listens to those with passion, including the seemingly-crazy ramblings of the insane, Malkavians or otherwise, often gleaming insight from them which most kindred simply cannot comprehend how she acquired. It is rumoured that she began advocating for the Malkavian preparations for "a tidal wave of blood coming soon" after having one brief conversation with [[The_Quinzel_Files_(WoD)#Case_Profile:_Bairstow.2C_Paul\|Paul Bairstow]] about mortal susceptibility to firearms - months before the Sabbat Crusade struck, during which Bairstow was revealed to be a Sabbat defector and spy.

			Chloe generally prefers to listen than talk and, especially of late, prefers to avoid crowded areas - or at least crowded by mortals... she does not seem to mind being around heavy concentration of kindred at Elysium, whilst she prefers to avoid being at large mortal gatherings. Some have noted that her actions become more erratic and unpredictable when around groups of kine, especially when passions are high. She is intelligent and enjoys intelligent discourse - especially with those who can look past her appearance and treat her like the elder she is and not the child she appears to be. Whether the reaction to her appearance is positive or negative, the fact it has influenced the behaviours is an almost-instant negative point against the kindred who address her; much like most nosferatu react favourably to those who do not react to their appearance, and are often antagonistic towards those who react negatively/rudely to their appearance. She particularly favours discussions about art, music, classic literature, and fashion (she enjoys dressmaking and clothing, although she struggles to follow fashion - so informing her about latest trends and styles is both entertaining and useful to her). For those seeking to earn her favour with a gift, things intended for adults but sized for her stature (such as mature-adult clothing, rather than children's clothing) are often a good start.

			But her general civility and respect for others should not be taken as weakness. She is an elder, and is not the kind, sweet child she seems. She will have no hesitation in mentally lobotomising a rude Toreador, or manipulating several mortals into attacking a rampaging Lupine in order to buy her time to escape. She cares about a few individuals but most, although she may respect them, would see their deaths as " a pity and a loss" but not anything to be upset over.

	She is almost always seemingly sweet and kind, regardless of her company. She appears to enjoy listening to what others have to say quietly and patiently, only interjecting when she has something she feels important. This even seems to be the case when she is around neonates, something that many neonates feel other elders (especially Toreador, Ventrue and Tremere) could take a leaf out of. She believes that although age counts for a lot of wisdom and experienced knowledge, that the young can have insights and ideas that would never cross the mind of elders - especially in the technologically- and socially-confusing modern nights. This makes her popular with neonates and, when combined with her child appearance, makes it easy for neonates to forget or never realise that they are in the presence of an elder. Even when disagreeing or chastising, she is generally polite and respectful. Despite this overall pleasant demeanour, she is typically described as having a ''noble bearing'' with the pretentious attitude to match - though as one nosferatu described it, "nowhere near as up-their-own-ass as the average Ventrue or Toreador". Some describe her pretentiousness as more akin to the Tremere - a self-confidence born of a belief of her own self-worth, yet tempered by a humility born of always being under someone in a higher position. When she speaks, it is the voice of wisdom of someone who has lived through centuries of turmoil and dealt with more kindred and other supernatural than most kindred will ever meet. It can be disconcerting for neonates, unaccustomed to dealing with her, to hear this sweet child speak with such confidence, authority and knowledge.

She might be sweet and cute and want to dance, sing and play with toys one moment, and dissect a living human being the next moment the way a young child might dissect a beetle that crossed their path, out of curiosity. The cruel games that children sometimes do on insects or animals due to a lack of empathic maturity are often repeated on mortals. When you throw in her powerful mental powers, it has been observed by her carers to find her sitting having a "tea party" with mortal "dolls" dominated into playing the roles, much like a child would use toy dolls. And just like a child in a tantrum may break an object in anger if told she cannot play with it, so might Chloe easily break her mortal "toys" if so repressed.
