__TOC__

Appearance and Personality

The Soldats' most feared assassin uses her trademark daggers to kill with no mercy for Altena, and she introduced herself as the "True Noir" to Mireille and Kirika when she first meets them. She makes a brief appearance in episode seven, and is first introduced in episode ten when she is ordered to assassinate Judge D'Estaing.

Chloe fights mainly with daggers, and her unique skills are superior to those of Mireille's and equal to those of Kirika's. She quite enjoys taunting the pair with the fact she knows everything they want to and at the same time idolizes Kirika. She plays a pivotal role in the events that are being crafted by the hands of Soldats.

Role

As a child, Chloe witnessed Kirika's execution of the Bouquet family, and idolizing Kirika's work, she wants to become an assassin like her. Like Kirika and Mireille, Chloe was destined to become part of Noir. When she became Altena's personal bodyguard has never been revealed.

After Chloe first encountered the pair, she appears often to taunt them and watches over them (mostly Kirika). Some examples of her idolization of Kirika is when she received a fork from her and treasured it, or when she saves Kirika from being killed several times throughout the series. Chloe apparently does not have any interest in Mireille, as she said that she would kill Mireille if she gets in the way of Altena's plans.

When Mireille finds the location of a book the Soldats holds, Chloe shows up and makes Kirika remember part of her past simply by reading the prayer-poem. Later, she nearly shoots Kirika, which makes her to remember more of her past -- specifically, when she killed Mireille's family. She says that is her final guidance for Kirika to travel to the Manor.

When Kirika enters the Manor, both Altena and Chloe explain her relationship with the Manor. Preparing for the ritual, Kirika and Chloe simply share their relationship as Noir "saplings", and Chloe says after the ritual she would invite Mireille to have tea again, and Kirika replies that there is no need for the third sapling. The situation changes when Mireille arrives at the Manor, and the former pair then fight each other.

As soon as their fight ends, Chloe intends to kill Mireille for disturbing the ritual. Mireille is almost killed by Chloe and suddenly Kirika, who has returned to her usual self, stops Chloe.

Angered by Kirika's betrayal, Chloe fights her. During their fight, she confesses that she is jealous of Kirika's happiness with Mireille. Kirika begs Chloe to stop; Chloe, hearing this, lets her guard down before she rushes to kill an injured Mireille. Kirika stabs her with the fork before she can kill Mireille. As she lays dying, Chloe embraced Kirika once last time before she dying peacefully. Standing in front of Chloe's corpse, Kirika says that Chloe was her other self.

Last word: "Noir."
