Biography
Before the show
Chloe started dancing at The Next Step when she was six.[7]
Chloe was in B-Troupe a year before the series. During this time, she befriended the E-Girls.[7] Chloe dreamed of becoming a part of the group.
Season 1
Chloe is excited to join E-Girls when she gets into A-Troupe. Although, she is unable to experience all of the benefits because of her financial difficulties; her father lost his job forcing Chloe to work two jobs in order in order to pay for dance and other expenses.[3]
Due to her jobs, Chloe constantly arrives to class late and finds excuses to leave early. Although she is consistently berated with questions about her whereabouts, she refuses to tell anyone about her job for fear of seeming uncommitted. She eventually tells Michelle about her jobs when she is spotted by her with her work uniform for Southside Johnny's. She makes Michelle promise not to tell anyone.[8]
Chloe begins to get picked on by Emily, of which only gets worse as time progresses. As a result, she is approached by Michelle, Riley, James, West, and Daniel with the secret routine to dethrone Emily as Dance Captain. Chloe is infuriated by the routine, but is told by Michelle to keep it a secret since she is keeping her secret.[9] Chloe eventually joins the routine.[10] Chloe is ecstatic when the routine works to promote Michelle and demote Emily, believing that the future looks much brighter.[11]
With Regionals on the horizon, Chloe's financial issues boil over and she is forced to quit A-Troupe. To her horror, all of the members of A-Troupe enter Southside Johnny's while she is working. She believes that they are there to ridicule her, especially since each member merely orders a drink, but comes to realize her peers' true intentions when she receives a $50 tip from each member. With these tips, Chloe is able to pay for the expenses of Regionals and re-joins A-Troupe.[4]
Season 2
After making it into A-Troupe for the second year, Chloe is granted a job teaching Baby Ballet classes. She is initially opposed to the occupation due to her fear of children, but eventually warms up to Margie, one of her students.Chloe is also trusted with the key to the lockbox in Kate's office that holds the studio's money.[12]
When the the studio's lockbox goes missing, Chloe is suspended from the studio indefinitely despite not having committed the crime.[13] When Chloe learns that Emily has been suspended from the studio for allegedly framing her, Chloe finds the situation to be fishy. Moments later, Chloe spots Amanda paying for a smoothie with the dollar bill that Margie drew a smiley face on, which she knows came from the lockbox. Chloe realizes that Amanda is the culprit and Chloe's suspension is lifted.[14]
Season 3
After beating Jen in a dance battle, Chloe makes it onto the Internationals team.[15]
Chloe assists West with his ballet in preparation for his audition for La Ballet de la Reine's The Nutcracker. Upon realizing how nervous West is for the audition, Chloe agrees to accompany him. She has fun during the audition, but does not expect to get into the studio. Thus, she is astounded to discover that she made it into the ballet company.[5] Despite the incredible opportunity, Chloe is met with a dilemma: the tour takes place during Internationals.
Chloe has trouble choosing between Internationals and joining La Ballet de la Reine. She initially decides against joining the ballet company, but is convinced of otherwise by West and Margie, and eventually accepts her position with the company. In celebration of her decision, she dances with Margie in the studio for the last time. While dancing with Margie, Chloe witnesses her vanish into a cloud of sparkles, causing Chloe to wonder if Margie was real at all.[6]
Season 6
Chloe returns to the dance studio, accompanied by her new assistant Oliver, to choreograph Noah and Richelle's ballet duet for Regionals. She is impressed by both of their technique, but only invites Noah to audition for a professional job. Upon being asked by Richelle why she was not asked to audition as well, Chloe tells Richelle about her "lyrical eyebrows", which starts Richelle's goal to dance with true emotion.[16]
Season 7
Chloe attends The Next Step's 30th anniversary party.[17]
In Piper's alternate reality, Chloe is involved with West's failing acting career and she is likely his agent. [18]
Personality
Chloe is quiet, shy, and kind. Her meekness allows to be a pushover who strives too hard to please others in the earlier seasons. At this time, she lacks much individuality and simply goes with whatever she is told, despite it sometimes being the wrong thing to do. She cares a lot about what other people think of her, especially in terms of her wealth and dedication, exemplified by how adamant she is about nobody finding out about her financial issues.
Chloe is determined, hard-working and occasionally motivational, aspects of her personality which shine through as the series progresses. She becomes more independent and confident, especially with the help of Margie. She becomes less ashamed of her economic status and begins to care less about the opinions of others. She is able to stand up for what she believes in, as opposed to merely sitting on the sidelines. Chloe is also clever, as she is able to deduce that Amanda stole the money from the studio when nobody else can.[14]
While Chloe is friendly, she suffers from pedophobia, which results in her wariness of youngsters.
