— Chloe to Yuri Briar[1]
| ||
Chloe (クロエ, Kuroe?) is a State Security Service officer and Yuri Briar's junior officer.
Appearance[]
Chloe is a young woman with medium-length dark magenta hair in a bob with bangs. Underneath her hair, she wears drop earrings that are in the shape of handcuffs. She has dark pink eyes which are slanted and narrow.
Chloe mainly wears the SSS standard uniform. When going outside, she typically dons a black cap with an eye at the brim, along with a jacket.
When she was in college, Chloe appeared to have longer hair which she tied in a ponytail.
Personality[]
Chloe appears to be a relaxed and easy-going person, as shown when surrounded by her co-workers. Chloe also shows care for the people she respects and will try to reach out and help them if she sees them in a bad spot. As a Secret Police officer, Chloe takes her work seriously and with pride. During the mission to secure Winston Wheeler at Shellbury, she questioned why they had to be undercover, appearing to be uncomfortable with having to disguise herself in her own country.
History[]
Six years before the start of Operation Strix, Chloe attended a college in Ostania. While she was there, she met the 14-year-old Yuri Briar, who suddenly appeared without even completing high school. Chloe would witness Yuri's eccentric personality, from his rudeness towards their classmates, his self-destructive work ethic, and his obsession with his older sister Yor. After college, Chloe heard that Yuri got into government work, and when she joined the SSS, she was surprised to learn that he had done the same and was now her superior officer.
Synopsis[]
Mole Hunt Arc[]
Chloe and other SSS officers receive a new mission from the Boss
The Boss orders an emergency summons to inform his officers of their mission to secure agent Winston Wheeler as he crosses the border to Ostania with valuable intel stolen from Westalian Intelligence. Chloe is present during this meeting, standing behind Yuri.[3]
Chloe, alongside Yuri, the Lieutenant, and another officer, arrive at Shellbury, where the rendezvous with Wheeler will take place. As the officers are dressed incognito, Chloe asks why they are disguising themselves in their own country, saying it is making her jittery. The other officer explains that this is an unofficial operation due to the current government not wanting to disturb their relationship with Westalis, among other concerns.[4]
A delirious Yuri mistakes Chloe for Yor
After it is revealed that the "Winston" the SSS officers met with is actually Twilight, all officers engage in a search for the spy. Yuri goes down the sewers after getting a lead on the spy but does not send out any signals, prompting the Lieutenant to search for him with Chloe. They find Yuri beaten and unconscious, and Chloe tries to wake him up. Upon awakening, a delirious Yuri mistakes Chloe for Yor and goes in for a hug. Surprised and flustered, Chloe chops at Yuri's head while yelling that she is not his sister, and the Lieutenant tells her not to injure him any further. As Yuri and the Lieutenant catch up on their current situation, Chloe wraps her arms around herself while huffing to herself. The Lieutenant decides to pursue Twilight on his own and orders Chloe to bring Yuri back to the surface for medical treatment. As Chloe helps Yuri walk, she tells him that, for a moment, she thought he was really dead. Yuri curses Twilight and swears to continue chasing after him once he is out of the sewers, but Chloe refuses, saying he would only get in the way with his injuries.[5]
Chloe shows Yuri and the Lieutenant her potential Twilight suspect
The mission to secure Wheeler ultimately ends in a draw after Wheeler is captured by WISE and the SSS unveils WISE's mole in their ranks. Thanks to Yuri's fight with Twilight, all of the SSS are actively searching for suspicious individuals in Ostania with the same arm wound as the spy. Chloe arrests Bobby Bockle of the Chicken Circle and takes him to headquarters for interrogation after believing he matches Twilight's arm injury. However, she is surprised when Yuri and the Lieutenant dismiss her suspect after she shows him to them. Before leaving, the Lieutenant orders Yuri to help Chloe with the interrogation.
While interrogating Bobby, Chloe notices Yuri taking out his frustrations on the suspect. After Bobby reveals the location of the Chicken Circle, Yuri and Chloe head out to investigate the base together, with the latter driving them there. During the drive, Chloe inquires Yuri about his recent mood. While they talk about Yuri's ongoing behavior since their college days, Yuri suddenly hides himself in the car, having smelled Yor and heard her footsteps nearby. As they drive past a crosswalk, Chloe sees Yor and is creeped out by Yuri's ability to sense her. The two begin to argue about making up an excuse if Yor saw them, with Chloe suggesting that Yuri could have said that they were lovers. Yuri refuses the idea, saying that he could never do that to the woman who set aside her own happiness for him. Not having little brothers of her own, Chloe is confused and says that she would want Yuri to find happiness if she were Yor.
Chloe slaps Yuri
The pair arrive at the Chicken Circle's base. Before Chloe can attempt a reconnaissance trip, Yuri charges in alone, despite her protests. After listening to Yuri's fight with the men inside, Chloe enters the building just in time to save Yuri from being stabbed by disarming and defeating the attacker. Chloe slaps some sense into Yuri and admonishes him for his recklessness, reminding him that people like him can die. She asks Yuri how Yor would feel if he died and points out how everything he says he does is all for her, calling him a self-serving hypocrite. Chloe then expresses her admiration for Yuri's fortitude but says that it leaves him blind to too many things.
Yuri apologizes, and Chloe does the same, realizing she went a little overboard in getting her point across to him. Chloe tells Yuri that the way Yor supported him might seem normal due to their time together but says there are other ways people can support each other. She instructs him to take better care of himself and be able to prove it to Yor. To her astonishment, Yuri concludes that he must improve his defensive skills in evading and blocking.[1]

Relationships[]
Yuri Briar[]
Chloe's memories of Yuri in college
Yuri is Chloe's superior officer in the SSS, and she refers to him as "Lieutenant" while they work together. She first met Yuri when she was in college, during which Yuri was 14 years old at the time. Chloe knows how Yuri is despised by most people because of his impertinence, which she jokes about to him later on, and admires his toughness in both his heart and body and respects his fortitude. However, she also points out that his toughness leaves him blind to too many things and that he does not take into account his own safety. Despite their difference in ranks, Chloe can be very casual with Yuri, to the point of not hesitating to hit him when he tries to hug her while in a half-conscious state.
