Chloe Reyes

Chloe Reyes is one of the main characters in the Elsaverse, and the true protagonist of its first story arc, which was planned out since its inception to tell her story: in Dreaming with Elsa (2015) she's introduced as the main villain, but her role keeps evolving throughout the saga, as she is indeed a victim, and then eventually unveiled as the true heroine in Saving Chloe (2018). She is Morland's daughter, as well as Charles' younger sister, and she is getting married to Paul soon. Chloe hasn't any power, although she's the only blind spot for her father's foreshadowing power: Morland can't be sure about the consequences of his actions if Chloe is involved in them.

Early Years
Chloe was born from a human mother, some years after Morland arrived in Sangrive. Not many details about her childhood are provided, but from the few scenes about her teen years scattered through several titles, it can be easily inferred that her father never showed much appreciation for her and always tried to subdue her through fear and physical abuse; on the other hand, her mother actually loved her and cared about her, and tried to give both of her sons a moral compass that only Chloe ended up using. Morland's ways had, however, a bigger impact back then. At highschool, Chloe had only two actual friends: her boyfriend Paul, and Miranda; and she was so scared of her father that she didn't even dare to go and visit her mother when she was severely ill after her own son and Chloe's brother, Charles, infected her with the scarlatine, which enventually caused her death. Later on, Chloe would use this episode to pick the nickname "YellowFever" on an online forum in which she cooperated with her father's enemies.

After her mother's death, Morland broke Chloe's relationship with Paul, by threatening him with having Crow killing him if the boy didn't stop seeing Chloe. A bit later, Morland finally ordered Chloe to enter the family business, by forcing her to have sex with one of his partners in her eighteenth birthday. Chloe was a virgin, as she never went beyond kissing Paul because she didn't feel ready for anything more, and her only sexual experience was an awkward first attempt with Miranda after learning what was about to happen to her on her birthday. From that moment on, though, Chloe gained lots of experience, as she was constantly whored out by her father to achieve his business goals. Chloe became one of his minions, and she carried out several missions for him: most of them involved having sex to get what her father wanted, but some of them also involved darker methods. In one of those occasions, Chloe provoked an accident that put her friend Miranda in a coma, as a collateral victim; after waking up, Miranda never forgave Chloe, as she didn't believe that her friend wasn't aware of what would happen. And that was the moment when things started to change.

Morland used to abuse Chloe every time she failed on her missions, mostly whipping her right arm to the point that she had to get a colourful tattoed sleeve to try to cover all the scars; when she freely decided to get a pair of wings tattoed on her back, she was severely punished for that too, and she decided to not overtly oppose her father anymore. But, after accidentally hurting Miranda, Chloe went to visit her friend daily while she was in a coma, and Morland's mild reaction to those visits made Chloe realize about her own strength: even though she doesn't have a power as such, the fact that Morland can never know for sure the consequences of his acts when she is involved is, indeed, a powerful weapon. Whenever Chloe failed a mission, he would not know if that failure was just an unforeseen consequence of her inability or a product of an intended sabotage, and this actually gave Chloe some room to do whatever she wanted to do. Chloe understood that all those punishments Morland was inflicting to her were just a product of his own frustration about that malfunction she causes on his power, and a way to keep her in line through fear, using physical and psychological abuse to prevent those sabotages from happening. So, in theory, she could make her father's plans to go wrong, at the cost of being punished; of course, Morland knew that too, and she was only given minor missions, so that a possible failure wouldn't hinder those plans in a serious way.

The "Elsaverse" Days
One day, Morland ordered Chloe to steal a full copy of the "Morpheus", a magical book of dreams that came from the parallel universe. Chloe was given a small fragment of the book, and she learned some dream spells she used to trick Elsa, the book's owner, in order to get her out of her apartment so that Chloe would get a chance to steal her copy. She eventually failed, as Elsa realized what was going on, but Chloe met Xara in the process. She learned about Xara's own mission of bringing Morland back to their home world's justice, and decided to help her. Even though she didn't confess her actual identity to Xara, Chloe agreed to feed her with info, and from that moment on she informed Xara about her evil father's movements using the nickname "YellowFever". However, as Chloe only received the partial info she needed to carry out her missions, this meant that Xara started working to effectively stop Chloe, without knowing she was her mole. That way, Chloe found herself on a difficult spot: she had to keep working for her father, knowing that a failure would mean a painful punishment for her, while also knowing that the info she was passing to Xara would let the blind woman to make her fail.

Things escalated when Chloe was assigned to follow rockstar Jessica Springfield and prevent her from starting a love relationship with Marc, who could help the singer to overcome her depressive state and hurt Morland's plans by preventing a massacre at the Mayoral rally he was going to attack. Miranda, who was also helping Xara, quickly understood what Chloe's goal was, and she stopped her former friend before Chloe could actually hurt the couple. Helped by Vince, Miranda kidnapped Chloe and kept her sedated at her home; when Chloe woke up, it was already late for her to accomplish her mission. She was so sure that Morland would not forgive that new failure, and Miranda was so angry at her due to the consequences of the coma, that Chloe even encouraged Miranda to kill her, if that would help Miranda to feel a little better. Fortunately, Miranda's boyfriend, Lucas, convinced his girlfriend to free her. Chloe was, indeed, severely punished by Morland after the incident, and she stayed hidden at her safehouse for about a month; in her last message as "YellowFever", she told Xara that she wouldn't be able to keep passing her info anymore.

Still unaware of their now useless mole's actual identity, Xara and Miranda turned to Paul, hoping he would be able to get in contact with Chloe again, and get some info out of her. Paul, who had spent more than ten years without seeing Chloe but still loved her, eventually agreed, and he quickly guessed that "YellowFever" was, indeed, Chloe. He got to her just when she was seriously considering forgetting about her principles and just embrace her father's evilness, as she deemed impossible to ever get away from him; fortunately enough, Paul showed her that there were still good people willing to help her. After a tense meeting with Xara's Angels, in which she finally confessed being the mole, Chloe made amends with Miranda and Elsa, resumed her love relationship with Paul, and then decisively helped the group to stop Morland once and for all: after abducting Xara, Morland thought he would succeed by just keeping her sedated, but he wasn't aware of Chloe's involvement with Xara's group, which made his assumption wrong. They rescued Xara, and Chloe and Paul cornered Morland in the portal room in his mansion's dungeons before he could flee to his homeworld. Chloe finally told him that she had been trying to oppose him by failing on her missions on purpose, which her father welcomed as a sign of her actually being his sly daughter and not just a clumsy minion; however, she wasn't able to shoot him, and her boyfriend Paul had to stop him, getting a feisty revenge of their forced breakup back in their highschool days.

After Xara took Morland and Crow to their homeworld, Chloe felt free at last, and revealed herself as the sweet, kind-hearted and smart girl she always had been. Taking over her father's business, she quickly changed "El Rey Casino" management style, and asked the newly appointed Mayor, Anne Kruin, for the city's permission to use one of Morland's hotels as a shelter for abused women. Kruin, who was also a victim of Morland's plots, as she was being poisoned by Crow in order to keep her on a tight leash, was expecting Chloe to keep exploring that dominance over her, but Chloe actually sent her the antidote she needed. In exchange for her kindness, the Mayor promised Chloe to make the Sangrive Police Department to keep an eye on her brother Charles, who ran away during the final confrontation with Morland and had been missing ever since. In the most personal side of things, Paul proposed to Chloe, and they are getting married soon, after sorting out Paul's platonic relationship with his friend Serena.

Miscellaneous

 * Due to her mother being from Sangrive's world and Morland being from the parallel world, Chloe's blood is diluted, and she ages slowly than a regular human being but still faster than Morland, Crow and Xara while in Sangrive. This makes her look a bit younger than she really is, which helped her with her 'business' partners when she was working for her father.


 * Morland's punishments were focused only on Chloe's right arm, with her tatoo covering the scars so that her sexual partners wouldn't get scared away. This left a nervous habit in Chloe, as she unconsciously hold her right arm whenever she thinks about her problems.


 * Another forced change in Chloe's look is her hairstyle: Morland's partners prefer her to wear it a bit longer than she actually likes it. That's why, in Saving Chloe, she decides to get a haircut to get her highschool look back, as a sign of commitment with her fight for freedom.
