Character Information:
Character Name: Chloe Saunders
Age: 15
Canon: Darkest Powers
Appearance:
Chloe is tiny. Seriously. She's five foot nothing and her curves only tend to show if she's wearing tight jeans and a really tight shirt. Basically, she's often mistaken for a kid about 12 or so. Her hair is blonde and comes down to her shoulders, kind of whispy, and she has big, blue, innocent eyes. She's cute.
Personality:
Chloe is nice. Too nice. Not in the way that people feel that she's fake, but she can come off as naïve and young, which goes along with the way she looks fairly well. The truth is: it's because Chloe is naïve and young, but she also genuinely cares about people. Even if they've thoroughly pissed her off, even if they've tried to kill her by hitting her in the head with a rock and left her in a dark crawl space, she has a large capacity for forgiveness and for caring. She tries to not word things too harshly, when others would be blunt and not care about how they came off. At first, this is a huge part of her being the “good” girl: compliant and well-mannered. Later, when she decides to shrug off being good, it's just part of who she is.
That's not to say that she is completely a welcome mat or anything. She knows how to stand up for herself, and she does it very well. When Derek begins to climb down her throat every time he finds fault with something that she does, she doesn't let him scare her-a huge feat for people who are naturally afraid of a tall, big werewolf. In fact, he comes to respect her for not cowering in fear when he barks. She'll even play at manipulation, if she knows it's going to help herself and her friends. The things she does tends to be in favor of helping her friends out, whether it's jumping into a fight and stabbing a werewolf in the leg, or walking into the woods alone at night to see if there are people with guns stalking the perimeter.
She's also afraid of the dark, and for good reason. Chloe began to see ghosts when she was very young. At first it was okay. They were nice to her, and they talked to her, but then a nasty ghost moved in, completely terrifying her. The fear of the dark has kept with her since then. Even as she copes with her necromancy, the dark still holds too many things for her.
The necromancy is also a part of Chloe's personality. Where at first she was reluctant to even believe she could see ghosts, once she does begin to believe it, she lets it become part of herself. Without it, she can't talk to Liz, her friend who was killed by the Edison Group, and she can't begin to summon spirits. It scares her, but she also realizes that it's who she is.
She also recognizes that her power is the most useless in a group of two spellcasters, a poltergeist, and a brooding werewolf. She's weak and small, but she is also the least threatening, which is something that she uses to her advantage when she needs to. Nobody is going to suspect the small, cute, well-mannered girl to suddenly bring a dead body back to life to protect herself.
Also, when Chloe lies, she stutters. Really badly. She makes for a terrible liar, no matter how hard she tries.
And there's the filmmaker aspect of herself. For as long as she can remember, Chloe has wanted to be a director and a screenwriter. She convinces her dad to send her to an art school, she knows most every movie and can talk about plots all day long. It's also her coping mechanism. When she's scared or unsure, she begins to change the things in her life into a movie script. It helps her to calm down and concentrate by making them into a movie rather than succumbing the horror of the real life situation.
Background:
Chloe Saunders is the only child of the Saunders'. When she was young, her parents were in a car accident and her mother was killed, leaving her to be semi-raised by her father, who is an executive for a company that flips buildings. He's often absent in her life, but she understands why that might be. She's brought up under the watchful eyes of her mother's sister, Aunt Lauren, and a string of housekeepers.
Chloe's story truly begins before she's born. There is a whole world of supernaturals living amongst regular humans. Her mother's twin brother happened to be one of them: he was a necromancer who either committed suicide or was driven off a roof by ghosts. Either way, it scarred both her mother and her aunt. Still, her mother wanted to have a child, so she ended up joining up for an experiment with a group called the Edison Group. They believed that they could genetically modify supernaturals so that their powers wouldn't be dangerous to them. In some cases, they were correct. In others... Well, this is where Chloe comes in.
After an episode during school where a burnt man is chasing her down and she freaks out, struggling to get away, Chloe's admitted to a hospital and eventually sent to a group home that came “highly recommended” for children like her: for the mentally ill. She's diagnosed with schizophrenia, but she soon discovers the truth: she's really a necromancer. Other kids at this group home, Derek and Simon, help her realize this when they reveal to her that they're like her, other supernaturals. This doesn't seem right to them, three supernaturals in one place-maybe four, if the story about a girl named Liz, who was “transferred” can be believed. It leads the group on a chase within the group home's walls for the truth.
All the while, Chloe begins to grow closer to a couple of the people in the home and begins to find out the extent of her powers. She accidentally raises the corpses of some supernatural murder victims and is ultimately rescued by the young werewolf, Derek. Despite what she thinks of him at this time, there is a shift in their relationship.
The three of them decide that her and Simon need to escape from the Lyle House and found Simon and Derek's dad. Unfortunately, another girl in the house that Chloe has become friends with, Rae-who believes she can start fires-tells her that she knows they're going to leave, and she wants to come with.
However, their plan goes awry. Derek has begun the Change, and Chloe tells Rae and Simon to go ahead while she looks for Derek (another changing point for their relationship). She stays with him until the effects of the Change are over, but it's too late. They've been found out, betrayed (by Rae, of all people) and even Simon has to go on the run with them. After a grueling chase from the Edison Group as they attempt to get the kids back, Chloe ends up inured, and the boys are separated from the girls. It's then that Rae convinces Chloe to go see her aunt, who is a doctor, to help them and to get stitches. But it's a trap. Aunt Lauren also works for the Edison Group, and she brings Chloe to the lab instead of helping her. It seems like the end.
While in the lab, Chloe is confronted by a demi-demon, who tells her that if she is freed, she will help Chloe in any way that she can. Chloe refuses. It's here that she learns a number of things: Liz was killed for not being able to control her powers, Rae is a half-demon and the betrayer, that the group were all genetically modified, and that she might have an ally in the bitch girl from the home, Tori. It's with Tori's help that the girls get out of the lab to help search for Derek and Simon. After a showdown with Tori's mom that almost ends up with Tori and Aunt Lauren getting killed, Chloe and Tori get away.
Eventually, they meet up with Simon and Derek again, beginning the grand adventure of the homeless supernaturals. Raising dead bats, bringing zombies to life in her sleep, facing crazy girls with knives, constantly getting yelled at by Derek, and the infighting are only the toppings to this week. Not knowing how to find the boys' dad, they instead decide to find a friend of his that could be able to help them. But the group ends up separated again when Derek begins showing symptoms of the Change again. Chloe goes with him off the bus and into the woods, the bus leaving them far behind. She realizes, though, that Derek needs her far more, and it's important for him to understand that he will be okay.
The next day, they were on their own, needing to find a way to catch up with Simon and Tori. Miles of walking were involved until they finally came to a small bus stop that would sell them tickets without ID. Now all that was left was to wait together... Until Derek catches wind of two other werewolves in the area. A fight breaks out, and Chloe and Derek run. It all comes down to a showdown between Derek and one of the werewolves, with Chloe injuring the man. Finally, they catch the bus and get on their way to Andrew's.
Andrew is missing however, in the same manner that Simon and Derek's dad went missing. Derek decides that they'll stay the night in the house and then set out early in the morning. This plan goes awry as the kids are attacked by the Edison Group, somehow tracked down. They eventually evade their captors, with the help of Andrew and escape to another safety house. Here they meet the other people in Andrew's group that is trying to shut down the Edison Group. But they're wary of the kids; they feel there might be something wrong with them, because of the experiments and because of Derek being a werewolf, and they're proven right when Chloe's supposed mentor pushes her into almost raising a cemetery full of dead people.
It's later that same day that Chloe finally realizes that she's in love with Derek. It leads to a slight falling out and a fight, which leads to a reluctant Chloe going out into the woods with Derek as he finally makes the Change. What should be an exciting moment becomes a terrifying one: someone wants Derek dead, and they don't care if Chloe has to die with him. The two werewolves met previously come after them, and it's fight between werewolves. When one is injured, Derek begins to go back to being human, but there's still another guy out there. Chloe creates zombie animals to keep the guy distracted, to protect Derek, but it's when he goes to give Chloe the final blow that Derek pops up and accidentally kills him.
This is when the conspiracy begins to unravel: The group finds out that the people meant to keep them safe has begun to turn on them. They realize that Andrew and the others were behind the fake Edison Group raid and that they have been keeping the boys from their father. Again, they decide to go on the run, and again their plans are foiled. It turns out that Chloe's supposed mentor is in on the plot to get rid of the kids, kills Andrew and another member of the group, and kidnaps Chloe, Simon, and Tori to take them back to the lab, while Derek has gone into hiding with the ghostly Liz.
The Edison Group is going to kill them, and Chloe decides that in order to save her friends, she is going to have to make a deal with a demi-demon.
Canon point: After Chloe, Tori, and Simon have been brought back to the lab in The Reckoning.
Special Abilities:
Necromancy! I have no idea how to translate that into Force powers, but here we go! It's a Sith magic!
As a genetically modified necromancer, Chloe's powers have been boosted up immensely. In fact, she had to wear a special amulet to keep her supernatural glow to a minimum, the glow being how ghosts recognized her for what she is. When she removes it, it becomes insanely bright, to the point where even a powerful demon takes recognition and interest of her glow. I figure that can be seen as a huge ability in the Force.
Chloe can see ghosts. She can not only see ghosts, but she can talk to them, she can summon them, and she can banish them. Hell, and here's the niftiest bit of her power, she can even send spirits back to their bodies and create her own army of zombies. No, seriously. While trying to summon her ghost friend, a demi-demon informs her that she has pulled so tightly that “the spirits of a thousand corpses went rushing back to their bodies, waiting to become her own army.” See? And she can control the dead very easily. They don't like it, but they have to listen to her.
Oh, and she can free demi-demons.

First Person:
You can't do this. [The camera is turned on, and Chloe can clearly see that it's recording: she just hasn't realized that other people can see it.] How did you even remove my clothes?
Great gift. What is this, something you give all your failed experiments to record their last moments? [She chokes on the words, closing her eyes briefly.] Fine. I'll give you exactly what you want...
[The datapad moves, and all that can be seen is the ceiling now as Chloe flops back on the bed.]
Scene: one young necromancer waits for her impending death at the hands of the scientists who made her the way she is. Bland hospital room. Comfortable bed. Camera for the aspiring director to make her first, and last, movie.
But the heroine isn't giving up yet. She's not going to let them kill her. There's a look in her eyes, something that looks a lot like determination.
[There's a sigh.] The necromancer decides to make a deal with a demon to free herself and her friends. [A long pause.] I said that I'll free you, so please... Please help me, and I'll release you.
Third Person:
Chloe couldn't say that she was a huge fan of Star Wars. A fan, at least. She enjoyed the movies with their simple plots, the clean cut “hero's journey” laced with more mythology than you could shake a fist at, and for its time, the special effects were pretty amazing. But she wasn't excited or giddy to be trapped in the middle of a fictional universe, especially not with a war she didn't feel involved in.
Her and Derek had their own problems, had their own tiny war. People wanted to kill them, and she wasn't so sure she wanted to be in a new universe with new people gunning for her. What would people give to take her and use her? A necromancer in battle. She remembered the pictures that she found when looking up necromancy, after Derek had first shoved the term down her throat. Crazy men, wild-eyed, with an army of the dead rising from the ground. She could do that, she had done that.
Leaning against the window of her apartment, she looked out over the large city, shivering.
Maybe... Maybe if Simon and Tori were with her... The four of them together, maybe it would be okay. They were an awkward group, but they had been through so much already, they were family. Even if Kit and her Aunt Lauren were with them. At least they would be safe from the Edison Group and from the Cabal searching for them.
