IN-CHARACTER:
Character name: Chloe Price
Character journal:helladoomed
Series name: Life is Strange
Canon notes: 'Save Arcadia Bay' ending, right before Max does the final rewind.
Species: Human!
History: There is a decent description of Chloe's events in-game on her wiki entry at Chloe Price. She'll be following the general decisions that the in-game Max Caulfield made, since Chloe is stuck in her whims for most of the story.
However, she continues on through the rest of Day 5 (spends a chunk of it dead and then doesn't, ah time travel), and will be coming from moments after she has talked Max into sacrificing her (Chloe) to save the town and her mother and all of Max's friends. So from her perspective, she'll be about to be erased, or die, or whatever awful thing is about to happen, but will wake up on the Fleet instead.
Personality:
For lack of a better way to put it, Chloe Price is a mess.
She wasn't always, of course. Her childhood was, from all appearances, fairly idyllic. She had a loving mother and a doting father and a best friend who was practically her soulmate. She was happy, almost bubbly child in a lot of ways. But when she was fourteen, her father was killed in a car accident, and a few months after that, her best friend moved to California and stopped speaking to her completely. Chloe didn't take it well.
This sudden hole in her life triggered a rebellion that never really stopped, fueled by misbehaving, but drugs and drinking and boys and girls from the wrong side of the bay, and created the punk-rock bad girl she is at nineteen. And she looks cool. A blue-haired, tattoo'd bisexual with a kick-ass attitude who doesn't take shit from anyone and will dish it out at a moment's notice.
And it isn't exactly an act, but it is covering up a lot of issues. A lot of issues. Plainly, Chloe has five years worth of unaddressed problems that manifest in the worst possible way. She's afraid of being abandoned again, stuck somewhere between clinging desperately to the people she cares about, sure that she can rely on them forever, and yet at the same time being utterly convinced they're going to leave her someday.
She has an extremely short temper, and lashes out at anything she perceives as an insult (unless it comes from someone she doesn't think is worth her time.) she'll 'turn' on someone in a heartbeat, becoming furiously angry with them over things that either don't warrant it, or do but not the way she reacts. (an example of this is discovering that Rachel, the girl she has been in love with for years, was sleeping with the town druggy. She goes from 'desperate to find her' to being furious and cursing her name in the span of a couple minutes.) She does know when this happens at least, and typically apologises later, but when it's going on, it's a mess.
She has clear and obvious problems with authority figures, manifesting as a tendency to say things she really shouldn't around cops and teachers. (Which would also be why she has a criminal record, and has been expelled from school. Oops?) And especially with her step-father (her step-douche, as she calls him.) who she is constantly at odds with. He represents so many of her problems, really. He is essentially replacing her father, he is the security chief at Blackwell, and he tries to treat her like a soldier. And she lashes out about all of it.
In spite of all of this, Chloe is not a bad person. She's a messed up person, yeah, a genuine fuck-up in a lot of ways. But she's still a good person, in the long run. She cares about her friends and is fiercely loyal to them (even with her moments of anger) and loves her mother more than she can really admit. She's clever in the face of problems, passionate with the things she loves, a risk-taker when it comes to adventure and excitement, and more than willing to sacrifice herself for what she considers a 'worthwhile cause.'
Which is a trait that tends to bite her in the ass a lot. And gets her killed at least twice, and nearly two more times. She feels a lot of 'righteous' anger at the world, and thinks she is more than willing to kill or die for it. (Though she only truly has to make that choice once...and she does choose the right thing in the end.)
In still awful but less dramatic terms, Chloe iis also something of an addict, especially of cigarettes and pot, and to a lesser extent alcohol. While these may have started as youthful acts of rebellion, she now basically needs pot to 'get going' in the morning, and anytime she's doing something that involves sitting still for more than a few minutes, cigarettes start piling up in her ashtray. There are also bottles scattered throughout her life, though all are empty before Max comes into the picture.
Which isn't to say that all of her habits are bad ones. She's very smart, smart enough to have managed five years of getting into trouble without ever actually getting into any real trouble. Smart enough to have dealt with bad boys and clever girls and walked away...mostly...unscathed.
And smart enough to still actually be interested in learning things. Admittedly, mostly science and music things, but she's got a head for them. The few times she genuinely gets into researching science, she clearly already knows where to look and what kind of information she would need.
Addendum: There is a theory that says that Chloe suffers from a form of borderline personality disorder. She does share a lot of the symptoms, and it would explain many of the reactions and 'choices' she's made, so I felt compelled to include it, but I don't know enough about it to speculate on the specifics. And it's clearly something that has never been officially diagnosed or treated.
Abilities: Chloe is pretty average as far as humans and their skill-sets go. Is Bad Luck With Guns an ability? 'Cause she has a ton of that. Oh, and technically she knows how to pick locks but she's awful at it.
