Chloe grew up working at her mother's inn in Amande, where she was practically a fixture from childhood. She'd wake before dawn to bake bread, spend afternoons drumming up business at the entrance, and work the dinner shift serving tables. The adventurers and guards passing through town knew her as "Chloe-chan"—a nickname she'd eventually try (unsuccessfully) to drop after becoming Lizelotte's maid at thirteen, insisting people just call her Chloe.
She first met Rio when she was nine, offering him a room at the inn. That same evening, she watched him effortlessly take down a pair of drunk troublemakers who'd started something with him. The violence shook her badly. What stuck with her most wasn't the fight itself, but the fact that she couldn't stop it or help him—that helplessness bothered her for years afterward.
