CHARACTER NAME: Chloe Choi
CHARACTER AGE: 22
SPECIES: Siren
BACKGROUND & HISTORY: Chloe Choi was born and raised in Siren Cove by her grandmother Amy Choi. She knows nothing about her mother and very little about her father, who is Amy’s son. Chloe doesn’t much care anyway, at least most of the time. Sometimes it does bother her a bit, but she quickly shoves those feelings aside. With her grandmother also a siren, Chloe grew up knowing her heritage and quickly learned to control her powers at a young age. Of course, being a siren, she has a killer voice, silky smooth and big.
After her grandmother passed away of natural causes when Chloe was 15, she decided to take a chance and move to Seoul, Korea where she auditioned with one of the biggest musical entertainment companies in the country. She was signed almost immediately and trained for four years, dancing, singing, giving interviews...the works. At 19, she debuted as solo artist Chloë. Between her beauty and her voice, Chloe was an instant sensation and become Korea’s sweetheart and almost everyone’s dream girl. Chloe gained success with every single she put out. She won many awards and appeared on a ridiculous amount of variety shows, constantly winning over the hearts of viewers with her wit and talent. Two years later, she made her acting debut in a TV series. Her acting was met with mixed reviews and Chloe decided to stick with what she’s best at - singing. And she did. She racked up, earning the most awards for a female solo artist to date.
Unfortunately, a few months ago, someone discovered Chloe’s secret about being a siren. She’s still not sure how they managed to do it, but the person had proof and threatened to expose Chloe for the “manipulative” creature she was. She immediately took offense, because although Chloe has always been proud of her siren heritage, she has never used her powers to gain popularity in the industry. She was trained enough by her grandmother to control that side of herself and became a success through her natural talents and hard work ethics,
thank you very much.Being a popular female idol in Korea has meant a fair share of rumours and gracing of the tabloid sites. Every time, Chloe kept her chin up and rose above the rumours with a powerful comeback. But this time, she was truly afraid of the inevitable backlash. Afraid for her safety, Chloe decided to make an executive decision and “retire” from the entertainment industry at 22. She didn’t tell anyone, her manager or “friends”, the true reason for her retirement. Instead, she put on an act and said it wasn’t for her any longer and that she was burnt out. She’s now returned to Siren Cove, hoping to apply for acceptance at St. Bernadette’s.
PERSONALITY: On the outside, Chloe Choi is a very extroverted and confident young woman. She knows what she’s good at and what she can accomplish. Chloe’s also business savvy. Seven years in the industry has taught her that blind trust gets you nowhere fast. Still, she’s very personable, friendly, and smart.
She doesn’t have time for misogyny after growing up in an industry where saying yes to men gets you everywhere, but saying no means your career is ruined. She faced the worst of the worst in this regard, told them to go to hell, and still managed to rise on top. Many tried to produce ridiculous scandals and started rumours, but Chloe always came back with a song that knocked those rumours to the ground.
Chloe will probably never admit to why she truly left Korea, so she’ll use her usual air of “everything is just as I planned” personality to answer any questions when she returns to Siren Cove. To the world, everything happens because Chloe Choi wants it to. In reality, her world is falling apart and she’s not exactly sure how the hell to handle it. She hit success at a young age, everything she touched turned to gold, and being “cast out” of the industry has left her more than a little lost. She pretends everything is okay even when her world is crumbling, just as she did with her grandmother’s passing. Chloe is a girl who has rarely had to face hardship, and if she can’t make a number one single of it, she has no idea how to handle it. Inside, she’s confused, lost, and a little like a teen stuck in a 22 year old’s body. Being away from the siren community for seven years has left her lonely and disconnected from her heritage, something she now doubts herself with. What if she’s not up to their standards of what a good siren should be?
She has an obsession with purses, aka her babies, and carries a different one almost daily. Don’t. Mess. With. Them.
Chloe’s lifespiration is Beyonce.
OPINION OF THE RIVALRY: Chloe is rather neutral, being a siren. Her priority is the safety of the siren community and will only care when the rivalry affects her community or her matriarch.
LIFESTYLE: Chloe is sitting on a nice chunk of change from her time in the industry. Unfortunately, it’s not nearly as much as she should have earned. But that’s how the cookie crumbles for an idol. She wants to use this money to pay for tuition to St. Bernadette’s and hopes to get a part-time job singing somewhere while she studies music and international law.
POWERS & ABILITIES: Being a siren, Chloe has a beautiful singing voice. She can use her voice to persuade others to do her bidding, although she has very rarely been pushed to do this before, mostly to get creeps to leave her alone. Her grandmother taught Chloe how to control her powers, so she is able to pull back the draw of her siren song while she performs. The only time her powers come out is in her writing. Chloe’s channeled her abilities into writing songs that are compelling and powerful, including her first hit Heaven. The power, emotion, and inspiration Chloe exudes in music can be traced back to her ancestry as a siren. It allows her to tap into songs in a way that’s truly amazing.
As for her siren form, Chloe’s colours and shape will remind others of the black lionfish. Her scales are primarily black with white stripes and tendrils that come out when she feels especially threatened in siren form. These tendrils are poisonous to the touch and something Chloe has a hard time controlling since they only appear when she’s seriously scared and in protective mode. It’s been a long, painful time since she last let herself relax and fully shift into her siren form.
