History: Chloe was born to Clark Dinkleberg and Connie Carmichael, who never were good at settling down; they’ve never been married and she was a surprise. She spent her early years moving frequently, curious and enthusiastic about the world around her (much to her nervous’ parents dismay).
As she grew, Chloe realized how much her parents love nature and began to wonder if her birth got in the way of their adventuring. They didn’t seem to love the city like she did... Was she dragging them down? Thoughts like these make up the core of her anxiety; deep down, Chloe will always suspect her parents see her as a burden and don’t love her as much as they claim.
Chloe made a few friends in school, but they always seemed to lose interest before long (unable to keep up with her energy). A string of pushy and chaotic attempts to “do good” and “right wrongs” cost her the rest of her friends, earned her the frustration of her parents, and immediately became the most humiliating experience of her life... and on top of that, it aired on TV. A distraught Chloe collapsed in on herself. She kept to her room as much as possible, and it wasn’t long before her parents discussed plans to move to Dimmsdale.
Chloe’s misery tripped the sensors at the godparenting agency, but although everyone agreed she deserved a fairy godparent, there wasn’t one available. On top of that, the “One Godparent / One Godchild” Act (Whimsifinado v. Fairy Court) had just been passed, which would allow the Pixies to be godparents in the absence of available Fairies.

.
Personality: Chloe is constantly motivated to chase her dreams, help others chase theirs, and live each day to the fullest. She’s always full of energy... which is why she has a history of burning through her friends. Chloe’s can-do attitude leaves a lot of people exhausted, and even Timmy needs breaks from her now and again. Kevin, however, finds her to be a bright spark of positive energy in his otherwise dreary existence, so they get along well.
Although Chloe loves her parents, her relationship with them is strained, especially when she’s older. Her parents have a tendency to control her, and that really ramped up once she left the house and Clark and Connie couldn’t monitor what she was doing.
Chloe often finds herself tripping over her feet for them, calling several times a week even if she has to be up at 2 AM to make the time zones work.
As she grows, Chloe questions more and more of her parents’ rules. When she moved out, the first thing to go was her vegetarian diet, which was always more about pleasing them than because she wanted it for herself.
She’s not exactly no contact with her parents, but... Timmy and Kevin both wish she would be.
Although Chloe considers herself a genuine person and a loyal friend, many people see her as desperate and clingy (especially when she ran for student government in high school). What people don’t realize is that Chloe is much too oblivious to social norms to ever be inauthentic. She isn’t about to change herself to fit in, and has the tearful therapy sessions to prove it.
Chloe doesn’t like to admit it, but she has an enormous ego. She truly believes she can be the best at anything she puts her mind to, and when she meets an expert, she’s motivated to be the one who finally outmatched them; she’d be shocked to lose a science fair to Jimmy Neutron or a ghost-catching contest to Danny Phantom, regardless of how much experience they possess. In her youth especially, she believed positivity could always take her to victory. She’s still unlearning that idea as she’s grown.
Despite her ego, Chloe struggles with self-doubt and frequent anxiety attacks. She’s a perfectionist at heart to the point of procrastination and paranoia, and has more meltdowns than she’d like to admit... and she doesn’t like admitting any of them, even to Timmy. Her parents generally ignore her when this happens, assuming she’ll “calm down” and “figure it out” (“Booby Trapped”).
Chloe’s natural defense mechanism is denial. It worked as a kid, but as her world awareness has grown over the years, she’s tried denying things more and more. Cosmo and Wanda have been a stable force in her life, helping her overcome her naivety and recognize red flags in others and the faults in herself.
Every day, Chloe breaks away from her sheltered past a little more. She strives to be caring to all and wants to be there for others just like Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda were there for her when she needed it most. She’s very grateful for her sweet husband... even if he IS an oddball.
.
Education: Attended some elementary school in Seattle, Washington during the frozen timestream and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the basic subjects her class covered.
.
Elementary School: Moved to Dimmsdale, California in 2004 and attended Denzel Crocker’s class, where she met Timmy. Pathological lying kicked in hard around this time as she longed for affection she didn’t receive from her parents, not to mention friends to fill the void left by those she’d upset in cities prior.
.
Middle School: Performed well in school and was well-liked by her teachers; stayed close friends with Timmy. Socialized with others, but her naivety caused her to make friends with people who spread rumors behind her back.
Chloe hid her increasingly poor eyesight from her parents (denying everything), but in the end they discovered the truth and insisted she get glasses.
.
High School: Ran for student government in her second year and won the sophomore class president position. Went a little power crazy that year and was not re-elected. Focused on an abundance of extracurriculars instead, sometimes working herself to exhaustion.
Dated A.J. during junior year. Did not run for student government as a senior. She faced an increasing amount of rumors (having annoyed a lot of people during her power trip).
During junior year, rumors spread that Chloe was cheating on A.J. with Timmy (and that Timmy was cheating on his long-distance girlfriend with her). In senior year (after Chloe and A.J. broke up), the rumor was that Chloe’s “tutoring sessions” didn’t involve much tutoring at all.
Other criticism Chloe faced was that she was clingy, desperate, easy, and an overly controlling psycho girlfriend. Not the best four years of her life, but keeping in contact with Kevin via email made the world a little brighter.
.
Further Education: Obtained the schooling to become a field linguist; takes online courses for fun and collects certifications.
College was particularly stressful for Chloe, who found herself overwhelmed and unprepared for adult life. Suddenly straight A’s were a struggle and her parents’ disapproval haunted every waking moment. Chloe unfollowed A.J. on all social media - something she hadn’t done after their break-up - because every time she thought of him, she was wracked with extreme jealousy.
But in the end, Chloe did graduate (and her parents were there to see it, too!) If she isn’t in the field, Chloe emails her friends, calls her parents, and tries to think of people to visit.
She’s also employed as a university professor (and gripes to Timmy that his 5th grade students seem a lot smarter than those she assigns projects to).

.
Indulgences: Having a free day to spend on herself without work or school, the occasional treat (like a cupcake or éclair), snuggling under blankets
EXTERNAL
Verbal Notes: Chloe’s voice is usually level and cheerful, though it spikes when she’s excited. When she’s especially thrilled, she’ll squeal and scream, often in someone’s ear.
Chloe tries to be uplifting, even when things aren’t going her way, but her patience has its limits. When pushed too far in a short amount of time, she’ll lose her temper and yell. Her raw emotion pour out, often hurting others’ feelings even after all the effort she’s put into being kind.
Chloe’s passion bleeds through when she talks, and you can tell when she’s not enthusiastic about an idea from how low her voice drops. She isn’t very good at flirting and her attempts to woo people usually come across as awkward and transparent.
Having grown up without close friends, Chloe can be a little socially awkward. In fact, the way she phrases her sentences can be weird in general, especially with her advanced vocabulary (“You are a strange and tortured soul” to a peer her age, or saying “resilient arachnid” to a group of children when talking about a spider).
One of Chloe’s quirks is using nouns as adjectives when she’s upset, such as “You are monster children!” She shares this trait with her mother (i.e. “You people are garbage people!”) Another quirk is making a statement, then adding another sentence to clarify what she meant. For example:
“I don’t believe in hate. I strongly dislike it, but I don’t hate it. Because as previously mentioned, I don’t believe in hate.” (“Blue Angel”)
“You look even more unstable than normal. Which is alarming.” (“Clark Laser”)
“I never should have suggested that you’d put tacos before our friendship! Although in my defense, it is kind of believable.” (“Tardy Sauce”)
Chloe rarely gives people nicknames (in teasing or affection). She’s always called Kevin “Kevin,” never “Sweetie” or “Honey.” Once Timmy asks to be called Tim instead, Chloe switches to that name even when some of his other friends (and Poof) continue calling him Timmy.
On rare flirty occasion, Chloe calls her husband “Kevie.”
.
Language: Can hold basic conversation in 12 languages (though not all of them are human). These include English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Tagalog, American sign language, Dolphin, and Flightless Booby Bird...
... But not French, which A.J. teased her about while they were dating since he speaks French fluently.
.
Physical Notes: Chloe has always been a little taller than Timmy, though not taller than Kevin. She’s often too busy to make it to the gym, but she tries to at least go for runs around the neighborhood in the mornings or evenings. She’s also practiced tae kwon do for most of her life.
Handedness: Right dominant
Body Language: Waves her arms around, particularly when pumped up. Often holds her arms in front of her when trying to focus her thoughts or calm down. Lifts a single finger when she wants to say something or gather attention. Stares at her feet when embarrassed. Rarely crosses her arms. Always up for hugs and snuggles.
Hair: Has soft hair; prefers keeping it long (past her shoulders) but often ties it up
Teeth: Has a chipped front tooth; perfect teeth other than that
Scars: As if her parents let her get scratched (Don’t tell them about her wild adventures with Timmy and Kevin)
Tattoos: Three small shooting stars (Pink, green, and purple) on the inside of her left forearm; match the ones Timmy has on his right arm
.
Style: Likes to wear “funky” things; loves eccentric outfits but has to tiptoe around her more conservative parents. Loves patterns that have lots of curves and detail in the designs.
Regular Clothing: Takes pride in a clean appearance and tries to dress nice, often in a dress or button-up shirt
Casual Clothing: Yellow short-sleeve shirts (and mom jeans)
Nightwear: Usually wears pale pink; sometimes wears nightgowns
Formal Clothing: Loves short-sleeved dresses; prefers pastel colors
Other: Loves cosplay and sews her own outfits
.
Height: 5′8″
Hygiene: Excellent (and proud of it)!
.
Morning Schedule: Chloe wakes up around 6:15 each day, has breakfast, and heads to school or work. Sometimes she tries to run in the morning, grateful for warmer weather than what she grew up with pre-Dimmsdale.
.
Typical Day Schedule: As a kid, Chloe would tutor her peers after school, but as a college student she realized she had to dedicate most of her “free time” to studying. As a field linguist, Chloe spends her time at home organizing her research, and her time away meeting personally with the speakers of languages that are fading fast. She strives to help those she perceives as less fortunate than herself and open eyes to what help the people she meets with truly need.
She tries to complete at least one service project a month, such as cleaning the park or ocean. She volunteers her time at schools too and donates equipment to the Little League teams, doing her small part to make the community a better place.
.
Evening Schedule: Chloe likes to go to bed early and Kevin likes to sleep in late, so the two are most romantic in the early evening. Sometimes they’re so busy they don’t have much time together, so they try to make the little moments special- such as lighting candles and dimming lights for dinner.
Sometimes they bake a dessert together and swap stories about their week, then put on music or a movie and snuggle up. Just your regular ol’ cuties, neither of whom have poor relationships with their families or totally messed-up memories of their childhood...
.
Sleep Schedule: Chloe tries to be in bed by 10:00, though she’s rarely asleep before 11:00.
Kevin likes to stay up late reading, so Chloe’s had to adjust to falling asleep with the lamp on. She likes to sleep with her head on his arm or chest, and Kevin keeps his book where she can read it even though he knows her eyes are closed.
PERSONAL
Chloe’s Family Tree: HERE
Relationship Status:
Married to Kevin Crocker (Didn’t actually show up for her wedding, but that’s another story)
Wedding Anniversary: June 10th, 2016
.
Ideal Relationship: Chloe needs a relationship where she can be her authentic self without criticism. She doesn’t need fiery passion or flashy displays, but she definitely needs caring affection. She wants someone she can laugh with and snuggle up to in cozy pajamas. A love for animals and the outdoors are a must.
.
Sexuality: Loves everyone (That’s no secret); has a hard time recognizing sexual attraction since she’s always struggled to make friends and interprets her feelings as a longing for friendship.
That said, Chloe does lean towards social outcasts or anyone else who seems mysterious and brooding sad. Chloe needs someone who grounds her, and Kevin did just that.
On paper, she’s demisexual. Timmy doesn’t understand why this was thrilling for her to discover and didn’t have much to say when she came out to him, but Chloe clings to it as something she finds important about herself; she values listening to her heart. She identifies closely with the asexual community; she’s felt attraction towards very few people in her life and likes reading and engaging in this mysterious world her parents don’t understand.
Kevin doesn’t totally get it either, but he baked her a color-coded meal when she came out because he has two thumbs and loves supporting his girlfriend.
.
Intimate History: Has been sexually intimate with only one partner: Kevin Crocker (though she did snuggle and kiss A.J. while they dated).
.
Turn-Ons: Chloe has a high threshold for arousal, so she’s happy just spending time with Kevin.
Cuddles are an absolute must with her, and she loves spending hours under the blankets with him, just resting her hand on his chest beneath his shirt (Gotta have the shirt or it’s not fun!) and feeling his fingers comb through her hair. That kind of touch satisfies her more than an hour of passionate kisses ever could.
Chloe is cautious and values security; she needs to feel confident that she’s in a lasting relationship with someone who’s interested in her for who she is, not just what she brings to the bedroom. The key here is opening with compliments, then moving to dirty talk while progressing very slowly with physical touch.

Foster Child: Foop
- Foster kid/adopted kid disguised as human for a lifetime. Hmm...

.
Other Important Relationships: Friends with Chester and A.J. (though not as close with them as Timmy is). Gets along well with Kimmy (Timmy’s cousin) and her husband, Sanjay.
Enjoys the company of her sister-in-law, Molly, even though they rarely agree on anything. Molly resents Chloe a little (Molly being jealous of how happy Chloe seems to be and how perfect her life appears), but Molly hides this as well as she can (knowing how important Chloe is to Timmy).
Chloe has anxiety that Molly doesn’t like her, but both Kevin and Timmy assure her that Molly is “just a bit blunt” or “rough around the edges.”
Has a good relationship with Mrs. Crocker and a mostly positive relationship with Mr. Crocker. She always calls Anti-Cosmo “Mr. Foop’s Dad” and Anti-Wanda “Mrs. Foop’s Mom.” She’s on very bad terms with Pixie World (See also, “This Is a Box”).
Chloe got along great with Cosmo and Wanda. Oddly, she and Poof always had a strained relationship, especially as time went on; her energy was a lot for his laid-back personality. I hear he always resented her for staying on with Cosmo and Wanda after Timmy lost his memories...
TRIVIA
- She lives at 1011 Cobbler Street. Timmy lives at 1010.
- Her signature is based on its appearance in the title card for “The Fair Bears.”
- Doesn’t do a lot of doodling (Too disorderly). Gets hung up about stray marks on her papers and prefers pencils over pens because of that.
- Her parents still boss her around as an adult. She tends to listen, much to Kevin and Foop’s annoyance.
- Not very coordinated when it comes to ball sports.
- Easily influenced by the media.
- Unironically likes pink and purple together.
- Not afraid to whistleblow. Will out your secrets for extra credit points or throw you under the bus in an attempt to excuse herself (See also, “Marked Man” and “Tardy Sauce”). This really hurt her relationships as a kid and is something she is still working to improve in her adult social life.
- Will always remember your allergies and keep them in mind when she brings snacks.
- Always carries a water bottle and probably has granola bars.
- Dances around her house when no one is watching and also when they are.
- No longer vegetarian as an adult. Even as a kid, she sometimes snuck meat behind her parents’ backs (See also, “A Sash and a Rash” and potentially “Chip Off the Old Crock”).
- Prone to schoolgirl crushes on those with power and elegance. Gushed over Anti-Cosmo as a kid and was not subtle about it. Kevin teases her for her supposed attraction to famous historical figures.
- Doesn’t know her middle names and neither do I.
- Her Squirrely Scout troop is Troop 13 (“Girly Squirrely”).
- Didn’t show up to her own wedding.
- Due to spending so much time with her godparents, Chloe has picked up a few of their magical immunities, like being more resistant to pain than non-godkids. For example:
-> She’s more acrobatic than average (and much more difficult to kill).
-> She can’t get paper cuts, stub her toe, slam her funny bone, and it doesn’t hurt if you yank her hair.
-> When she’s itchy, she has to scratch her skin much harder than normal in order to find relief.
