Biography
Chloe is the kinder and nicer co-leader of THE BARDEN BELLAS. She is on Beca's side when they had an argument. Following the 2012 ICCA Finals, Chloe is a graduate of Barden University, and former co-leader of the reigning ICCA champions, the Barden Bellas. In the beginning of the movie, Chloe, a junior at the time, participates in the 2011 ICCA's, where the group loses out because Aubrey Posen vomits on the audience during a solo.
She and Aubrey, now co-leaders of the Bellas, attempt to recruit freshmen in the new year, generally failing because of their humiliation at the ICCA's the year before. Chloe suggests that they recruit girls for their vocal ability, rather than looks, but is replied to scornfully by Aubrey. Chloe is often the peace-maker

during rehearsals, especially in sorting out arguments between Beca Mitchell and Aubrey Posen, and is the kinder of the two leaders in the group.
Chloe corners Beca in the showers a month after the Activities Fair, where she hears her singing, and pressures her to audition for the Bellas. The two girls sing Titanium together, before being interrupted by Chloe's boyfriend Tom, who was previously taking a shower with her (the two were also seen kissing at aca-initiation night). Beca decides to audition, and Chloe is noticeably pleased in her triumph. A while after, during the Initiation Night, a drunken Chloe grabs Beca and promises that they will be "Fast Friends."
After a bad performance, she reveals to the group that she has vocal nodules. The others, especially Aubrey, are quick to comfort her, and she says that she will keep going with the group, despite her condition

When the Bellas fail during Semi Finals, Beca quits the group, Aubrey and Chloe have difficulty keeping the now uninspired girls together. Chloe, thinking that the season is over for the group, decides to have surgery on her nodules and gets them removed. However, when it is revealed the Bellas are back in the competition, she is forced to continue. However, although her range in the higher notes has decreased a little, she has the newfound ability to hit the bass notes. She realizes this after Beca, the new leader of the Bellas, and the a cappella group sing Just the Way You Are and Just a Dream remix. When the Bellas go to finals, it is her new ability to do the bass, as well as the new and improved Bellas, using one of Beca's remixes as their piece, that causes the group to win.
In Pitch Perfect, Chloe is portrayed by Brittany Snow.
Personality
Chloe is actually the more friendly of the two co-leaders of the Barden Bellas, and often attempts to make peace between Aubrey and Beca during their many arguments. She is not as focused on winning and keeping Bella traditions as Aubrey Posen. She oftens taking Beca's side in arguments, showing that she is too tired of Aubrey's controlling nature towards the group. However, Chloe is one of the only people who seems to be able to handle Aubrey and get along with her, despite her difficult personality.
Chloe claims to be very proud of her body, and doesn't seem to have many personal boundaries, and little understanding for personal space. She walks in on Beca in the showers and acts like nothing is wrong, and she often goes a little too close to Beca especially for comfort. Chloe is very affectionate and sweet, and cares a great deal about Aubrey and the others.
Chloe seems to have less of a problem with Aubrey's vomiting than the others, and is clearly used to her best friend. Her big moment is when she defies Aubrey for the first time, and wins when she invites Beca back to the group.
Relationships
Aubrey Posen
Aubrey and Chloe have been best friends long before the others joined the Bellas. They are the co-leaders of the group, however Aubrey seems to take more of a lead during rehearsals. Aubrey is rather controlling over Chloe and rarely listens to her opinion, however that all comes to an end when Chloe eventually breaks down during an argument over Beca, and the two have a physical fight after Aubrey vomits due to stress and anger.
Chloe and Aubrey both care a great deal aboout each other, and the two reconcile quickly after their argument. After Chloe admits to having nodes, Aubrey is the first to go to her side and comfort her. At the end of the film, it is shown that the two have graduated, as they are no longer with the Bellas.
Beca Mitchell
Chloe seems to like Beca from the start, and often defends her to Aubrey, or gets a little too close for comfort. She points her out during the Activities Fair, and even approaches her when Aubrey tells her not to. Even after Beca refuses to join the Bellas, Chloe continues to pursue her and even corners her in the shower, after hearing her sing Titanium. Chloe makes her sing with her, and the two girls sing Titanium together, before being interrupted.
She is often the one to break up fights between Aubrey and Beca, often trying to make a rational point to add to Beca's side, and Chloe is clearly extremely affectionate towards Beca. She is visibly upset when Beca snaps at her after the fight at Regionals, and is the first to text Beca asking her back when the Bellas are brought back into the ICCA's. The two girls seem relatively close, although Beca acts a little awkward around the slightly too physically affectionate Chloe. However, it is obvious that Chloe likes Beca and that Beca likes Chloe. The only thing in their way is Jesse and his cliche movie ending.
Tom
It is strongly implied that Chloe is making out with Tom in the shower early in the film. She also aggressively makes out with him at aca-initiation night. Tom is possibly Chloe's boyfriend.
Trivia
- While listening to the film's commentary featurette (during the Aca Initiation night), it is said that there is some bi-sexual content between two of the main characters, Beca and Chloe.
- Beca and Chloe have become something of a "Fan Preferred Couple" to Jesse and Beca.
- When Jesse comes back with Beca's drink, Chloe is seen kissing an unknown guy, most likely Tom.
