Chloe, also called Chole, is a minor recurring character in the Final Fantasy VII series. She has a minor role in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Chloe works on her grandfather Bill's chocobo ranch and helps him run the business alongside her older brother Billy. She is a sweet and sincere girl who deeply cherishes and worries about her family, operating a shop to support them.

In Final Fantasy VII, Chloe records the Chocobo Sage's advice for Cloud Strife's party and assesses their chocobos' abilities. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, she sells chocobo gear and other items to the party for golden plumes. In Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, Chloe manages the Chocobo Medal Exchange.

History

Early history

Chloe was born in 1995 to Will and Clara. She lost her parents at a young age and was raised by her grandfather Bill, with her older brother Billy looking after her. She eventually learned about chocobos and started working on the ranch as a shopkeeper to support her family.

Original continuity

When Cloud's party arrived at the farm during "Going After Sephiroth" in Final Fantasy VII, Chloe greeted them and was surprised when they purchased the expensive Chocobo Lure. She asked them not to be upset with her brother and grandfather, explaining that they had been solely focused on making money since her parents died.

After Sephiroth summoned Meteor in "Turmoil", Chloe told Cloud's party about the White Chocobo and the Chocobo Sage. She was amazed upon hearing they had met him and took notes on the advice he shared. Chloe also informed the party about different chocobo breeds and their respective abilities.

Remake continuity

Chloe meets Cloud and company.

When Cloud's party visited Bill's ranch during "A New Journey Begins" in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Chloe welcomed them and apologized for Billy's greed, explaining he had been focused on making money since their parents passed away. She asked if they were from Midgar and knew Chocobo Sam but was hushed by a worried Billy. Chloe wanted to reach out to Sam due to his chocobo business expertise, but was hesitant because of his role in their parents' deaths. She did business with Cloud's party to appease Billy, later thanked them for returning Piko, and introduced them to chocoboutiques.

Chloe asked Cloud and an eager Aerith Gainsborough to collect flowers from Wildflower Plateau for the "Flowers from the Hill" odd job. She wanted to make flower crowns for herself and Billy in memory of their parents. Chloe was grateful upon their return, happily crafted the crowns, and wondered if her grandfather would wear one.
