Biography
Chloe Lewis was born in London and was from a well-off family. She went to Oxford and majored in Nursing. It was when she was working in Wales for her summer that she met Taerlyn, and the two began a romantic relationship that quickly soured. Chloe saw Taerlyn as a clingy and selfish person, and would often spend days apart from her only to come back to a distraught Taerlyn. At one point Chloe had a fling with another woman, which ended when her fling found out about Taerlyn and went to her with information. Despite this, Chloe and Taerlyn remained in a relationship for a while after that, though Taerlyn was even more pressed for the two to spend time together. The two eventually broke off their relationship, and the two didn't speak to each other for years afterward.

About seven years later, the two met again by chance. While Chloe was happy to reconnect, Taerlyn wanted nothing to do with her, and tried to get her to leave at first politely, then firmly. The two had an altercation, which nearly came to blows after Chloe insulted her daughter and which had to be broken up by the Queen.

Personality
Chloe is a manipulative and controlling woman, often turning situations around on those near her. She has a need to be in the right, and when confronted on her behavior she becomes defensive and snappy.

Taerlyn
During their relationship, Taerlyn was eager to please Chloe, who in turn treated Taerlyn's high need for attention as clinginess despite benefiting heavily from Taerlyn's affection. She treated Taerlyn poorly but would become angry with her when Taerlyn couldn't provide the same level of love as normal. After the break-up, Taerlyn realized how awful the treatment she received was, and when the two met again Taerlyn refused to speak with her, and when Chloe persisted she directly called her out and asserted her worth.
