Chloe Valens

Appearance

As a beautiful girl that she is, Chloe wears her black hair short and has brown eyes. As an adult, she wears some sort of hat on her head. On her body, she wears a skintight bodysuit with a long-sleeved jacket over it. A short cape drapes over her jacket, connected together by some sort of clip. On her waist, she wears a blue buckle where her sword is attached. Lastly, she wears a pair of high-heeled boots.

Personality

This young woman is a practitioner of iron eres and has an extraordinary talent with the sword. She is single-minded and focused in achieving her goals, sometimes to the point of irrationality towards other people. Most of the time, she appears very serious and determined, but she also has moments of exuberance and occasionally worries about silly things, such as her weight or the possibility of turning into a monster. She also has strong feelings for Senel and is initially jealous of Shirley. Chloe does not know how to swim, a weakness she takes very seriously.

Past

Prior to the events of the story, Chloe belonged to the Valens House, a great line of nobles whose existence is well-known throughout the world. When she was a child she had long, beautiful black hair. One rainy night, however, her parents were murdered before her by a masked bandit with a snake tattoo on his arm. Chloe tried to use her father's sword against him, but the masked bandit told her if she chose to attack that he would show her no mercy. Overpowered by fear, she was unable to avenge her parents, and so the masked bandit stole her father's sword and left. After the incident, the Valens name was threatened to be stripped from her due to the incident. Chloe tries her hardest to keep the Valens name but, being only a child, she finds it impossible to meet the demands of owning such a status. Chloe blamed everything on the masked bandit and swore revenge. Following this, she ordered her maid to cut her hair, a sign of her oath and a symbol of her determination.

Fighting Style

Because Senel does not use a sword in combat, Chloe takes up the role of the main swordsman of the party. She has a bit more range than Senel and like other swordsmen in other Tales games, she has the ability to string together long combos. Her fighting style also incorporates acrobatic kick attacks in some of her iron eres, giving her eres a unique look compared to other swordfighters from other games such as Tiger Blade or Lightning Tiger Blade. A very important skill in her arsenal is her Compound Eres, which allows her to counterattack while completely negating damage. Chloe is a well-balanced fighter with somewhat less HP than Senel, but has sufficient attack and defense to back up her position as one of the frontline attackers.

Tiger Blade

When using Tiger Blade, the user slashes upward while jumping, then slashes downward while landing. This arte is effective for hitting any opponents in the air, further allowing the user to force their target to the ground. In some of the games, there is a third hit that can be added between or after the slashes, sometimes involving a shoulder charge or punches that simulate the standard movement patterns of this arte. In

Lighting Tiger Blade

When Lightning Tiger Blade is used, the user slashes upward and jumps high into the air, summoning a large bolt of lightning to deal several hits to nearby enemies, before falling back to the ground.
