Chloe Halford

Chloe Halford (クロエ＝ハルフォード, Kuroe Harufōdo) was a mage who died in the year 1525 of the Great Calendar.

Background
Chloe is related to the Sherwood family.

Chloe was murdered by a conspiracy of her former comrades Esmeralda, Darius Grenville, Vanessa Aldiss, Frances Gilchrist, Enrico Forghieri, Demitrio Aristides, and Baldia Muwezicamili due to her desire to reform society in order to prevent the Gnostics from gaining more footholds in the more oppressed and unfortunate towns. Six of the seven tortured her with 128 different kinds of pain, including breaking her chest open and breaking her fingers. She managed to escape, only to be stabbed and finally killed by Esmeralda, who Chloe had thought was trying to save her.

Appearance
Chloe was a blonde woman with golden eyes. She was petite, more than a head shorter than Esmeralda.

Personality
Chloe was described posthumously by Enrico Forghieri as a relentlessly free spirit who answered to no call or rule but her own feelings and conscience.

Abilities
Chloe was considered by many to be one of the best Gnostic Hunters and battlemages in the world.

Techniques
"Chloe Halford was known for eschewing the three traditional schools of Sword Arts in favor of her own style of magical combat that involved wielding an athame in each hand, earning her the nickname 'Two-Blade'. She was the only mage in her lifetime capable of this: even Luther Garland could not come close to mastering it. Only her son Oliver Horn has succeeded in fully recreating it, and then only by performing a soul merge with hers."
 * "Chloe Style"

"This Spellblade functions by envisioning the future as an innumerable number of 'threads', one of which are guaranteed to bring the caster to victory. By marking that thread, the caster would draw themselves towards that future. Sequential order is flipped on its head. Instead of building up the present towards that marked future, the caster forcefully brings the future into their present, thus bringing them to their marked victory."
