Koharu Sakuragi / Chloe of the Vermillion / Specter Moth

A red-haired passenger on the Infinity Train whom King Larsta mentions to having pass by the Astral Car; apparently was quite similar to Boscha in many aspects. She is tasked by One-One to remove what's remaining of the Apex and also stop Boscha from going on a rampage.
She is the focus on the prequel story, Infinity Train: Melancholy Afterlife which focuses on her initial days on the Train and how she encountered Lexi.

---

A-D

• 11th-Hour Superpower:
  • In Act 1: Her Mahamayuri Train lets her both assume a Super Form and De-power her target, abilities she only uses to stop Boscha once and for all.
  • In Act 3: She combines the Peacock and Butterfly Miraculous to become Specter Moth, empowering Atticus, Lexi, Phos and Chris to become Baal. She then uses her Battle Aura to become an angst nuke to weaken Hazel.
• A Boy and His X: Travels with a corgi and a sentient book.
• Action Girl: She starts out as one here compared to her canon counterpart, though to be fair, she's clearly been on the Train for a while. And while her canon counterpart becomes a formidable warrior in her own right, this one takes the cake via killing Boscha.
• Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Played With. While being on the Infinity Train implies she has some issues, she doesn't seem to have the same spite and self-loathing tendencies of her Blossoming Trail counterpart. That being said, it's implied she was once hurt by Pokémon directly in something only known as "The Spearow incident", which her counterpart doesn't have, leaving her with severe trust issues.
• Adaptational Badass: Chloe was turning into one of these in her story, but this one already has her as a formidable fighter, and she obtains a new weapon in the form of peacock feathers. And unlike Blossoming Trail Chloe, who racks up some serious victories, this Chloe utterly kills Boscha
• Adaptational Backstory Change: In Blossoming Trail, the reason Chloe didn't like Pokémon was because she and Goh grew distant due to the former's quest to catch Mew. This Chloe doesn't like them thanks to a certain event in her past only referred to as "the Spearow incident".
• Adaptational Context Change: In Blossoming Trail, Chloe lost her hair scrunchie when she boarded the Train, and it was finding it on the ground that set off the entire story. In here, she uses it as payment for the donut holer.
• Adaptational Dumbass: Her paranoid tendencies have made her pull some rather questionable decisions, like refusing to get counseling despite the clear trauma she suffers from "the Spearow incident".
• Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In the original story, most of Chloe's abilities came from her cloak: the ability to cast fire, to turn into a wolf, to see into a person's past, and so on. In here, since she doesn't have the cloak, she instead has to rely on a Battle Aura to cast her fire, while her other abilities are all but stated to be gone.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: She's notably more chipper and feisty compared to her Blossoming Trail counterpart, who was bathing in spite and self-esteem issues.
• Adaptation Personality Change: Doesn't have Blossoming Trail's Chloe's shyness, self-loathing or lack of confidence, and is quite feisty and determined to stop Boscha and relishes in having a good fight. She also was quick to dismiss Lexi's exposition, arguing that she only cares about demons, whereas in canon she's always ready to lend an ear to his advice and likes all monsters, demons just being a favorite. Finally, she's a bit more paranoid and distrustful of people, which is implied to be the result of "the Spearow incident".
  • The prequel reveals that unlike the Blossoming Trail Chloe not wanting to return to Vermillion City because of all the people she hated, this one remembers the things she'll miss and has wishes to return to meet up with a friend. Word of God also confirms that this Chloe got on the Train before Episode 38 of Journeys so she has some of her canon traits and becoming more interested in Pokémon and is more annoyed with everyone rushing her.
  • She's shown to have a crush on Specter according to Word of God, whereas she was written with no love interest in mind in Blossoming Trail.
  • "Melancholy Afterlife" reveals that she was trying to get into Pokémon whereas it takes her much longer in canon to even go with Ash and Goh (without being dragged off to it).
  • Her biggest flaw this time around is her inability to trust people compared to having anger and hatred from the bias put around her.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: While her relationships in this version of her story are vague for the most part, she appears to get along better with both Yeardley and Goh, who she hated and had complicated feelings for, respectively. Turns out, she hates Goh even more because of how he ignored her to go on a trip to Alola and told Ash about how she "is no longer into Pokémon". At least, that's what she believes.
• Adaptational Weapon Swap: She keeps her Donut Holer as she did in Blossoming Trail. However, in that story, it was a single weapon she used for the duration of her stay until it was eventually taken by police as evidence; This made the tool as iconic in-universe as she herself was. Here, the Donut Holer is a collective name for multiple pipes she keeps replacing after losing them in various battles. The one she enters the story with is her Seventh.
• Adaptational Wimp: While she kept the fire powers and demon summoning from her canonical powerset, her cloak, which lets her turn into a wolf, cast fire, and look into a person's soul, is missing from her collection.
• All-Loving Heroine: Same as her canon self: she always tries to see the good in everybody, from the morally blunt Amelia, to the psycho that is Boscha. Zenith Fantasy doesn't get that kindness but she's willing to have a truce with them so that they can focus on letting Boscha heal and get her off the train. After they lend her power in The Boiling Underworld Car so she, Atticus and Lexi can defeat Boa, she softens up to them.
  • What caused "The Spearow Incident" was her trying to protect a Pidgey she wanted to capture and then let it go free before being used as bait for the Spearows to attack.
• Ambiguous Situation:
  • What exactly was she doing in the Astral Car is left unanswered, as well as whether she learned Astral Magic before she left or not.
  • How this Chloe obtains her fire abilities and demon summoning, since the original one obtained a magic cloak and a glowing mark to use them both. It's revealed in the rewrite that the latter came from her taking the Ars Goetia — the manual for all things demons — in Azada while the former is still unknown as of yet.
  • There's also the question of how long she's been on the Train: while she's been long enough to gain a name for herself and her group to the point of copyright, it's not made clear if she's gone through the same perils as her canon self, nor how many.
  • What are the relationships to her loved one this time? Goh and Professor Cerise are mentioned briefly, but whether or not she's closer to them than in canon is yet to be revealed. "Melancholy Afterlife" reveals she hates them for either ignoring her, proclaming that she's "not into Pokémon" or giving her biased reasons as to why she's not going out to do research or not even allowing her to travel.
  • And last, how much is she into Pokémon or how it affected her travel across the train, considering she sees the Ruby Sulphur Trio and Zenith Fantasy groups as "hitting two Spearows with a Poké ball". It's revealed that something happened involving a pack of Spearows and she's bitter because everyone (she assumes) blames her for it.
  • How much of her story in Chapter 4 of "Melancholy Afterlife" is legitimate and how much of it is tainted by her anger and bias is also unclear, especially because at the point she recalls the story, she's still heavily biased and angry over what happened.
• Angst Nuke: Channels the grief on losing Specter to empower her Battle Aura to weaken Hazel in the Final Battle, making Hazel unable to stop Amelia and Alrick from cutting her head off with a Keyblade.
• Animal Motifs: The Peacock. The enemy she fights in the Maverick Hunters Car is Cyber Peacock, her Mahamayuri Train is named after a bodhitsittava whose name is literally translated as "Peacock Wisdom Queen", said weapon resembles peacock feathers, and she trains with a passenger literally called Peacock. Her pride and confidence in herself also brings to mind the idea of a Proud Peacock. Fittingly in order to become Specter Moth, she uses the Peacock Miraculous.
• Animal-Themed Superbeing: Uses both the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous to become Specter Moth.
• Apologetic Attacker: She quickly apologizes to Lexi after she strikes him during her trip to the Azada library in "Melancholy Afterlife".
• The Apprentice: Becomes one to Peacock, who's set to train her in how to use her Mahamayuri Train.
• Badass Adorable: A sweet ten year old girl in a black dress and with a donut holer and a variety of powers at her disposal, who's capable of going toe-to-toe with Boscha. And by "toe-to-toe" we should elaborate on killing her. And she's the one who ends up weakening Hazel so that Amelia and Alrick unleash the killing blow!
• Battle Aura: She can summon one that's made of pink fire when she gets angry enough. In Act 3, she uses it as a nuke to weaken Hazel, tapping into the sorrow and anguish of losing Specter to her.
• Badass Pacifist: Badass Adorable she may be, but she'd rather not get physical unless absolutely necessary. And don't even think about suggesting her to kill someone and never gloat about killing someone she cared about..
• Because You Were Nice to Me: She gains a crush on Specter after he thanks her for saving Rosie by giving her a red a rose, then compliment her hair before leaving.
• Believing Their Own Lies: Chloe can get so deep in denial that she legitimately starts believing the lies she tells herself.
• Berserk Button:
  • Does not like being called her real name as her fight with Boa can attest.
  • The rewrite for Chapter 10 reveals that, just like her Blossoming Trail counterpart, she detests being called a princess.
  • Her biggest one against Hazel. Don't hurt Specter and don't gloat about how you killed him or you will face the wrath of a thousand suns.
• Beware the Nice Ones: She's one of the nicer Passengers on the Infinity Train, but that doesn't mean she's someone you can mess with.
  • For starters, she's ultimately the one who kills Boscha near the end of A Ct 1.
  • Despite her...complicated feelings for Specter, she still cared for him. And once she learns that Hazel murdered him and decides that talk is cheap, she unleashes a pink nuke from her sorrow and grief.
• Blood Knight: Much more eager to get into a good brawl than her canon counterpart. However, she does not fight to kill only to defend.
• Book Dumb: Apparently believes the word "Vermillion" only has one "l" in it.
• Brought Down to Normal: Loses both her access to demon summoning and the Mahamayuri Train in Act 2's Azada Car but still has her Battle Aura abilities which she uses against Hazel.
• Character Development: Boiling Point Act 2 serves as this for her, with her becoming more empathetic to Boa and getting her static down. By the time the chaos of the Azada Car ends, she has decided to talk Daiki down and state that he doesn't see her as a friend and tells Specter that she no longer wants anything to do with him before walking away. The end of Act 3 has her work alongside Goh to weaken Hazel, dropping their numbers to 0 as she learns to move on with her life.
• Cherry Blossom Girl: Fits this a little better than her Blossoming Trail self, since she's associated with pink and her Adaptational Nice Guy status turns her into a Rose-Haired Sweetie.
• Children Forced to Kill: She's eventually forced to kill Boscha once she proves herself too dangerous to be left alive. Though of course, she turns out to be Only Mostly Dead.
• Cheery Pink: She's associated with the color pink, and is more cheerful compared to her canon counterpart.
• The Chosen One: Chosen by One-One, the Train's Conductor, to stop Boscha's rampage and the remnants of the Apex.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: She not only goes to save Amelia the first chance she gets without hesitation, but she decides to Save the Villain and try to save Boscha as well, even as it becomes increasingly clear that she simply cannot be reasoned with.
• Composite Character: From Blossoming Trail, this Chloe shares Professor Cerise's refusal to get counseling. On the Infinity Train side, she has the red hair and use of donut holer like Tulip Olsen, a kind nature and refusal to hurt others (unless they're the Apex) and a relationship to someone with a mirror motif like Jesse and the fact that she murdered someone like MT.
• Color Motif: Pink. The energy of her Mahamayuri Train is pink, her hair turns pink when she's about to defeat Boscha, she used to wear a pink hair scrunchie, and she had Skitty-themed earphones back at home, with Skitty being primarily pink. When pissed off, her Battle Aura is a bright pink color. Also her last name (Sakuragi) is based on "Cherry Blossom" which is, of course, pink.
• Corrupt the Cutie: When she hits a Moment of Weakness when she gets this close to reconciling with her father, Specter takes the opportunity to convince her she was never loved, and that she should focus on the Train and slaying the Apex instead.
  • Gets hit again in the "Azada Car" as the Ars Goetia book turns her into a warrior of vengeance that even Specter is horrified to see.
• Create Your Own Villain: Her killing Boscha sentences her to the Heart System, which creates the main antagonists of the second Act, the Boschazens.
• Crush Blush: Whenever she's near Specter.
• Cryptic Background Reference: The only thing we know about " the Spearow incident" is the name and the effect it had on Chloe. "Melancholy Afterlife" goes more into detail about what happened.
• Curb Stomp Cushion: Out of the Red Lotus Trio, she's the one to get the most hits on Boscha, and is ultimately the one to kill her... or so it seems.
• Cute Bookworm: A sweet and cheerful girl who squees at seeing Azada being a humongous library. According to Specter, her favorite book is The Secret Garden.
• Cute Clumsy Girl: While teleporting back from defeating Cyber Peacock, she accidentally ends up sending herself into the floor.
• Death Glare: Delivers one of these to Zenith Fantasy while approaching them after being briefed about their Enemy Mine by the Master of Masters. It's so potent that Alex can sense it from a mile away.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Wears a black dress and summons demons, but her focus color is pink and she's a nicer person in comparison to Boscha and the Apex as she's willing to help Boscha out with her problems and has forgiven Amelia for the mistakes she made.
• Deal with the Devil: Heavily implied in the rewrite that Chloe obtained her demon summoning powers via the Ars Goetia.
• Decomposite Character: Her canonical personality is split between Boscha (incredible temper and ability to see into the past), Skara (bullied teen girl who has trouble forgiving someone and subjected to Double Standard), Lucy (gains a cloak that lets her use fire and comes up with a name for her team) and Hazel (holds a huge resentment for the Apex and their actions).
• Defeating the Undefeatable: She's ultimately the one to defeat Boscha, killing her and causing her to be subjected to the Heart System. And while she doesn't ultimately defeat Hazel, her pink battle aura attack weakens her long enough for Amelia and Alrick to use a Keyblade.
• Demoted to Extra: Zigzagged; in Blossoming Trail, she is the main focus of the story. Here she plays a smaller yet still meaningful role in having to intervene when Boscha goes out of control and even ends up killing her. Then, Green Phantom Queen has published a prequel story to expand on how she entered the Train in the first place.
• De-power: One of the abilities of her Mahamayuri Train, which she puts to good use to defeat Boscha once and for all. It's revealed that she was actually absorbing energy from Boscha to power herself up.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Not only is she the first to attack and hurt Boscha while she's powered by the Power Of Hate, but is ultimately the one to kill her and subject her to the Heart System.
  • She also ends up severely weakening Hazel with her Battle Aura so that Amelia and Alrick can lay the killing blow.
• Does Not Like Men: Like in canon, she has an utter dislike for men due to how they ignored her problems or made her feel like she was nothing. The only men in Vermillion City she's close to is her brother and Specter.
• Drama-Preserving Handicap: Not only is she Incompletely Trained regarding her Mahamayuri Train, but it needs to be charged with energy in order for Chloe to use it to its full potential. Without these two handicaps, she'd cut everyone a lot of trouble.
• Driven by Envy: Alongside her insecurity and paranoia, her jealousy seems to play a big part in her Train trip, since denying she's jealous of Goh and Peacock dancing together causes it to grow.
• Dub Name Change: She's actually going by her Japanese name, Koharu Sakuragi, but insists on Chloe.

E-M

• Easily Forgiven: After Boa's very blunt assessment of Chloe pushing away others and not listening to what they have to say, she apologizes to Lexi (For ignoring what he wanted to say on Mahamayuri) and Atticus (for not taking his advice to train with Peacock more) and they both forgive her.
• Empowered Badass Normal: She has a mark on her palm that allows her to summon demons and she has her Battle Aura to use as a fire attack.
• Epic Fail: At the Spelling Bee Car, she's the first Passenger to participate, and the word she gets is fairly simple (Vermillion, like the place she lives in). Not only does she fail, but she mispronounces Vermillion by a single letter.
• Everybody Has Standards:
  • Despite being more willing to fight, she is not going as far as to kill people like the Apex did, and looks in shock when Lexi uses his papers to cut Boscha's eyes.
  • In Melancholy Afterlife she is not happy to learn how Sylvio murdered the Spearows who trauamtized her.
  • Despite being every bit as spiteful as her Blossomverse counterpart, once she's made to know how bigoted she sounds, not only does she clarify she's nothing like that, but apologizes for it.
  • When Sara Diktalyis — her old bully who is now on the train and part of the reformed Apex — accuses her of being the one that corrupted a rogue group of Apex kids to wheel themselves, Chloe states that she told Apex Fantasy they had no hope was on her but more so on the fact that that's all she knew about them. But she wasn't the one who made them go rogue. That'd be Louise.
• Famed In-Story: By the time the story begins, she's made a name for herself in her adventuring and do-gooding. Boscha already knows enough about her to call her the 'legendary' Chloe after only a few days on the Train.
• Fatal Flaw:
  • Paranoia; she doesn't want to put faith in people actually wanting to help her out, and refuses to get therapy because she feels like it will just end badly for her and that her classmates hate her. This contributes into her Static number and trip to the Train. As revealed in The Boiling Underworld Car, she's afraid of trusting the wrong people, or "false help" and pushes people aside for fear of getting hurt. Boa tells her that the only way for Chloe to ever grow is by putting her trust in others.
  • Impulsiveness: Most of Chloe's problems come from her inability to wait longer than a few seconds; she immediately tries to go catch a Pokémon after getting a Trainer kit from Specter, and doesn't finish her training with the Mahamayuri Train because she wants to deal with the Ruby Sulphur Trio and Zenith Fantasy in one fell swoop.
• Fiery Redhead: A red-haired girl with just as much fire as Boscha, figuratively and literally.
• Five Stages of Grief: Melancholy Afterlife reveals that she's on the Anger stage due to the "Spearow Incident" and having no one in her life to be there when she wanted to start growing, and feels like no one actually wants to help her. And in a way, she's also stuck in Denial, given her status as a Static Passenger.
  • She's in Denial and Anger upon learning of Specter's death, briefly goes to Bargaining when she asks One-One to ensure his mirror brooch is safe and then moves into Acceptance as she moves on with her life and heads for home with Goh.
• Flanderization: Somewhat. Upon learning that Mahamayuri is not a demon, she decides not to learn more about her from Lexi. Word of God reveals that the Blossoming Trail Chloe Cerise is interested in all sorts of monsters, with demons being her number one favorite.
• Foil:
  • To Boscha. They're both redheaded girls who are Hot-Blooded, have access to fire magic, and possess volatile tempers, alongside being rather unstable. But while Boscha's a witch, Chloe's a human girl. While Boscha entered the Train with her insanely potent fire powers, Chloe acquired them, along with everything else, once she boarded the Train. And though both have quite a reputation, they're direct opposites: Chloe's a legendary hero who everybody in the Infinity Train knows and looks up to, while Boscha's a living nightmare who nobody ever wants to meet.
  • To Skara. They're both nice girls who the world has treated unfairly due to a connection with a certain someone that gave everyone unfair expectations for them, and suffer a traumatic event that changes their character. However, while Skara was associated with Boscha, which made people believe she was as bad as her, and the traumatic event convinced her to leave the Boiling Isles to find herself, Chloe's associated with her father, who's a Pokémon Professor, and has lead people to believe she should follow in his footsteps, and the Spearow incident caused her to close herself from the world, believing they would only blame her further.
  • To Luz. They're both the Token Human of their respective groups (Hexside for Luz, Red Lotus Trio for Chloe) who use a different powerset compared to their teammates, and have a cheery disposition. However, Luz started with the cheerful attitude, while Chloe earned it through her travel on the Train. And while Luz specializes in Wild Magic, Chloe uses fire magic (allegedly), a donut holer, and demon summoning.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: From a girl with a (somewhat justified) hatred for Pokémon to a bonafide hero with a title and the name of her group being so famous that it's copyrighted and being the one who kills Boscha and ends up nearly killing Hazel through her grief alone. Furthermore, just one glare from her is enough to terrify a former Apex member. "Melancholy Afterlife" goes into detail about how this happened.
• Get Out!: In Melancholy Afterlife creamed this to Ash and Goh when she hears that all Ash knows about her is from Goh stating "she's not into Pokémon anymore"...which is coming just after Goh realized he ignored her requests to go search for a Pokémon and that he had never really gotten to know Chloe.
• Girly Bruiser: She has long hair, wears a dress, the color associated with her is pink and she wields a donut holer like she's up to bat, summons demons and gains an upgrade in deadly peacock feathers that lets her incinerate Boscha.
• Given Name Reveal: "Melancholy Afterlife" reveals her actual name to be Koharu Sakuragi, with "Chloe" just being a nickname she prefers to be called by.
• Good Counterpart: A redheaded girl with a powerset that includes firepower among them, travels around with two Denizens forming a trio, and is overly confident in her ability to do anything? Yup, sounds like a good version of Boscha to me.
• Good Wings, Evil Wings: An odd example of a Good character having Evil wings, as her demonic mark lets her summon demonic wings when she needs to fly.^note It should be noted that the demon Chloe summoned for the wings is Focalor, who is described as a man with gryphon wings
• Hero Antagonist: She's set to go against Boscha later down the line in Act 1, but she's strictly on the side of good.
• Hero Killer: Played With. She eventually vaporizes Boscha when she proves too unstable to reason with, but it soon turns out the truth's more complicated than that.
• Hero of Another Story: She's tasked by One-One to rid the Train of whatever is left of the Apex and later to stop Boscha from destroying cars. Infinity Train: Melancholy Afterlife is about her initial journey on the Train and how she met Lexi. Arc 2 of Boiling Point reveals that she interacted with a rogue faction of the Apex, Apex Fantasy.
• Heroic BSoD:
  • Has no words to say upon vaporizing Boscha and only perks up after revealing that she's not dead, just that her soul has been split.
  • Gets one after the Azada Car arc in which she has to go through a lot. Daiki's rampage on her family and all of Vermillion City and the fact that this indirectly killed one of Boa's friends, she was nearly corrupted by the Ars Goetia, that and her Mahamayuri Train was destroyed so she lost most of her powers and she has just gained the courage to leave Specter behind. Goh finds her crying her eyes out at everything that happened because of a need to "prove" herself.
  • And finally, she breaks more when the Azada passengers — Jindrax, Toxica, Candelila and Kid Cosmic, deliver the news of Specter dying by Hazel's hand. She weaponizes this to defeat the denizen hybrid.
• Heel Realization: Ars Goetia revealing Daiki made a deal with them in order to give her an easy way home, while leaving Goh behind causes her to realize how she's been associating with a madman for a long time, all while assuming Goh didn't care for her. And once she sees what else he did in her name, it's then that she realizes she must cut ties with him.
• Hidden Depths:
  • Is into Japanese mythology and youkai, admitting she's into Yo-kai Watch.
  • Sota reveals that Chloe loved SHAZAM! and saw it three times which is presumably where Daiki got the "Young Batson" nickname from.
• Hold Your Hippogriffs: Claims near the end of Chapter 11 that she did the kamehameha to "hit two Spearows with one Poké Ball" in regards to the Ruby Sulphur Trio and Zenith Fantasy.
• Hypocrite: Chloe lambasts everyone back at home for only thinking about themselves, but once she enters the Train, Chloe only ever thinks about what she wants, and it takes until the events of Boiling Point, half a year later, for her to even humor what's happening back home.
• I Know Your True Name: She once crossed a Car literally named the True Name Car, and now her true name is common knowledge.
• Incompletely Trained: As Peacock pointed out, Chloe wasn't finished with her training on the Mahamayuri Train near the end of Chapter 11, but she thought it was the best chance she'd ever get defeating the Ruby Sulphur Trio and Zenith Fantasy together. She turns out to be properly trained enough as to use her Mahamayuri Train to depower and defeat Boscha.
• Inexplicably Awesome: When she is first mentioned in the story, Chloe has a donut holer, the ability to cast fire, summon demons, and a more bearable personality than her canon self. There's no explanation for how she got them, only that she did. Word of God notes that Zenith Fantasy's power-ups aren't on the level of either Chloe or Boscha, especially Chloe. The rewrites later reveal hints as to how she got her powers but her Battle Aura is never explained.
• Informed Ability: King Lartsa says that she is capable of fire magic like Boscha, but as of Act 1, she mostly relies on her donut holer, demon summoning and the Mahayuri Train weapon. She eventually does use her fire in Act 2, via aura.
  • She's also supposed to be an All-Loving Heroine, but for the most part she's an impulsive girl who's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at best, and has quite the capacity to be petty and cruel. She eventually brings this up while chiding Daiki for what he's done, stating that she's nowhere near the perfect girl he thinks she is, and that he needs to stop.
• Insistent Terminology: No, Chloe does not use a pipe. That is a donut holer, something that punches holes into things and turns them into donuts.
• In-Series Nickname: She's usually called "Red Lotus Girl" by members of Zenith Fantasy. When she access her Super Mode, the narration calls her "Chloe of the Pink Hair Dye".
• In Spite of a Nail: Despite not having a lot of angst and self-loathing like in canon, this Chloe still hasn't gone to counseling and has issues with her father (although this time it's she who refuses the counseling).
• Irony:
  • Refuses to go see a therapist out of fear of it going on badly, but this leads her to enter what is essentially a therapy train that has even worse people on it. In fact, Boa telling her straight up front that her static would go down if she actually did have people help her is what gets Chloe to realize that she's been insensitive.
  • Melancholy Afterlife reveals her favorite Pokémon were birds...then the Spearow Incident happened.
  • Out of all the combatants in the Mêlée à Trois in Chapter 13, she's the only one who explicitly doesn't want to hurt or kill Boscha, and yet she's ultimately the one to take her out.
  • Her outfit on the train is a little black dress...and she crushes on the guy who wears a white suit.
• It's Personal: Her beef with Hazel became this when she learns that Hazel destroyed Specter's brooch. And as he's a tsukumogami, if the mirror is gone, so is he.
• Jerkass Realization: Boa's blunt explanation over how she's been pushing people away leads her into realizing how she's been mistreating Lexi and Atticus, her teammates who only want what's best for her. She's quick to apologize to them afterwards and they forgive her instantly.
• Karma Houdini: Despite being the architect of a lot of pain and misery in the stories, including Mattholomule's death, Chloe effectively gets everything she wanted.
• Kick the Dog: She tells Boa, who's basically Boscha's pure form without any of her issues and trauma, that if she had been more careful with what she was doing back in the Boiling Isles, Skara (her friend) wouldn't have to pick up the slack for her. Atticus is particularly disappointed at this remark.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Not only does she reject her father when he tells her she's not ready to do research (but more so because he never did anything for her), but she then decides to trust a person she just met, who gives her a Trainer kit and convinces her to go try catch a Pokémon. She's promptly traumatized by a pack of Spearows when she does try to catch a Pokémon, and the one person she trusted failed to show up (albeit more because he wasn't able to get there on time).
• The Leader: Of the Red Lotus Trio.
• Leeroy Jenkins: Decides to just barge in between the Ruby Sulfur Trio and the Zenith Fantasy group without a second thought.
• Let's You and Him Fight: She insists on fighting Boa by herself, despite Atticus and Lexi being willing to help, and her opponent's ridiculous strength. After Boa gives her a blunt assessment that she needs others to help her, Chloe has Atticus and Lexi deliver the final blow.
• Little Black Dress: Wears one of these, with fireball-shaped symbols as highlights.
• Love Makes You Dumb: Her crush on Specter causes her to take a few leaps in logic, like completely trusting him with the Trainer kit despite it not including anything that could help her defend herself. Confessing that she foolishly followed him is what finally allows her to remove the static off her number.
• Lucky Seven: The rewrite for Chapter 13 reveals she's on her seventh donut holer and she also defeats Boscha in that chapter.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Her weapon obtained in the Mavericks Car is named after Mahamayuri, a female bodhitsittava who was said to hold a lotus flower.
  • Specter notes her nickname "Chloe" means "bloom", relating to her flower motifs and growth on the Train.
  • Her Peacock/Butterfly Miraculous form is called "Specter Moth". While it's kinda obvious where the "Specter" comes from, it turns out there's a certain breed of Moth called "Red-tailed Specter Moth" so it combines Chloe's red hair and the youkai close to her.
• Misspelling Out Loud: As noted under Epic Fail, she's given a fairly easy word during The Spelling Bee Car: Vermillion. She ends up spelling it as Vermilion, with one l.
• Moment of Weakness: When her father hangs up on her when they're this close to reconciling, and Chloe was trying to tell her dad not to hang up, Chloe begins falling into self-loathing, which isn't helped by Specter unintentionally gaslighting her into focusing on the Train instead.

N-Z

• Nervous Wreck: Became this after The Spearow Incident.
• Never Be Hurt Again: Chloe doesn't want to trust people who truly want her best interests at heart for fear of being hurt by them, getting "false help" in the process which is why she doesn't get the therapy like her Principal wanted. It takes Boa telling her that she needs to move on and people will only help her if she lets them for her to start taking steps in amending this.
• Never My Fault: She either doesn't believe she's in the wrong over the Spearow incident or that the role everybody else played far outweighs anything she did wrong.^note While she does have anger over the boys in her life not listening to her or downplaying why she can't go on expeditions, many people did question how foolish it was to go out on a route by herself Either way, she refuses to believe she's at fault for what happened. It takes Boa telling her that she can't ever grow up unless she learns to accept she made mistakes for her to start taking responsibility for her actions.
• Next Tier Power-Up: After defeating Cyber Peacock, she gains the Mahamayuri Train, a set of mechanical peacock feathers.
• Nice Girl: She's a kind and compassionate girl who wishes to help others, forgiving Amelia for her mistakes and even trying to save Boscha despite the witch being an Omnicidal Maniac.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Is into demons, youkai and wants Peacock to tell her the legend of the Skull Heart.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: She tries to defend a Pidgey from a bullying Spearow while trying to feed the former. She gets assaulted by a pack of Spearows in return, along with everybody calling her out for not at least bringing a Pokémon with her.
• Noodle Incident:
  • The " Spearow incident" is what caused Chloe to be a bundle of nerves.
  • She's on her seventh Donut Holer when she's introduced, with Atticus rattling the numerous adventures that caused her previous six to be destroyed.
• No Listening Skills: Chloe has a hard time listening to what people have to say, which is sometimes justified ( the recent trauma of the Spearow incident, Ash's Innocently Insensitive assessment, her best friend telling Ash that assessment and her father's Double Standard treatment on her makes her unwilling to listen to him, Goh or her father, sometimes not so much (Atticus suggested her to keep training with Peacock, but she chose to ignore it and try to attack the Ruby Sulphur Trio and Zenith Fantasy head on). Once Boa tells her that the only way her static can be removed is by putting her trust into others, she apologizes to Atticus and Lexi for being insensitive and they forgive her.
• Oh, Crap!: Freaks out when her number gets bigger during the Cupid Bee Car Ball.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Atticus rattles on the incidents that made her lose her donut holers which includes rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser, fighting Dynamo, launching Super Sonic at Chaos and fighting Sans.
• Only I Can Kill Him: Much to her horror, it turns out she's the only one in the Red Lotus Trio who can get near Boscha without being killed, and effectively put an end to her reign of terror. Though quite hesitant at first, Chloe eventually does it.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: "Chloe" is just a nickname that she prefers to be called by. Her actual name is Koharu Sakuragi. And she insists on being called Chloe, as stating her real name will make her go into a flying rage.
• Painful Transformation: Once White Gestalt is free from Daiki's control, Chloe's transformed into a demon knight by the Ars Goetia as a failsafe, and the way the narration describes it makes it clear it's not a pleasant experience.
• The Paranoiac: Her Fatal Flaw this time around; she's distrustful about her classmates (or Goh) actually caring for her and doesn't believe therapy will do any good for her life. Melancholy Afterlife reveals that this stems from the "Spearow Incident" and not putting any faith in people who want to help her when they completely ignored her or think lowly of her.
• Parental Issues: She has a lot of issues with her father due to him being a Pokémon Professor and she...isn't a fanatic of Pokémon. Melancholy Afterlife reveals that her father would not allow her to go do research for very biased (and near sexist) reasons, and her mother has a bad habit of denying reality.
• Passionate Sports Girl: She loves softball like in canon and has a secondary favorite sport in Ultimate Frisbee. The rewrite to Boiling Point has a scene of her practicing her swing.
• Peacock Girl: After defeating the Cyber Peacock, she obtains a new weapon called the Mahamayuri Train that gives her mechanical peacock feathers. She's also the one who uses the Peacock Miraculous.
• Pink Means Feminine: Her signature color in this story. The energy blasts from Mahamayuri Train is pink and when she absorbs Boscha's powers, the narration calls her "Chloe of the Pink Hair Dye." The prequel reveals she has "Skitty-ear headphones" at home, and Skitty is primarily pink. When pissed off, she can cast a Battle Aura that's a bright pink.
• Pipe Pain: Her weapon, a donut holer, is a pipe that she uses to devastating effect. She grabs one from Randall in Melancholy Afterlife and by the time she's tasked to stop Boscha, the rewrite reveals that she's already gone through six others.
• Playing with Fire: Has the ability to use fire and her black dress has fireballs on it.
• Plucky Girl: Very feisty and excited to get into a fight.
• Power Dyes Your Hair: When she absorbs Boscha's power and when she enters her Super Mode, her hair turns pink.
• Power Gives You Wings: Using her demonic mark, she can grow a pair of demonic wings — despite the demon being Focalor, a gryphon man — whenever she likes.
• The Power of Friendship: She and Goh work together to fight off Hazel, cementing how their friendship and bringing their numbers down to 0.
• The Power of Love: Her Angst Nuke against Hazel is based off of her love for Specter and the sorrow it came from losing him.
• The Power of Trust: Tragically Averted. As shown in Melancholy Afterlife, she put her trust in Specter when he gave her a beginner Trainer kit, believing he'd come help her if she ever got in trouble. Alas, that didn't happen since he was too late to save her and now Chloe has a hard time putting her trust in people, especially since it's shown that her father doesn't know what to do with her and Ash and Goh would rather leave her behind for their adventures or dismiss her for "not liking Pokémon anymore".
• The Promise: Her prequel story reveals that she wants to make a promise with a friend. That friend isn't Goh though...
• Precocious Crush: Develops one towards Specter, as shown in "Melancholy Afterlife". Confirmed in Boiling Point where after waking up from a nightmare, she proudly proclaims she'll go back to dream of her "perfect date with Specter".^note The original line was actually a joke from Exotos poking fun on Green Phantom Queen's love of him. Green Phantom Queen didn't realize this when she wrote it as canon but Exotos later decided to make it real to help explain why Chloe's number is static.
• Proud Peacock: She's associated with the peacock, and she's much more confident in herself than her canon counterpart.
• Purple Is Powerful: The color of her energy beam as she's teleported back to Maverick HQ is purple.
• Red Baron: "Chloe of the Vermillion", natch. Also counts as The Magnificent. Melancholy Afterlife reveals that it's a nickname from both Specter and Daiki.
• Required Secondary Powers: Averted with the Mahamayuri Train, which requires to be charged with energy to work, but doesn't seem to passively recharge when not in use.
• Rose-Haired Sweetie: She's a Significant Green-Eyed Redhead, and she's notably nicer compared to her canon self. This becomes more literal when her Super Mode gives her pink hair.
• Rule of Symbolism: Her Infinity Train number is 43, a combination of the Dex numbers of Spearow (21) and Fearow (22), both Pokémon being the source of the "Spearow incident" that caused her so much trauma.
• Saved by Canon: Played With. On the one hand, she shows up fine and dandy in the main story, so she's gonna come out of the events of "Melancholy Afterlife" just fine. On the other hand, the fact she's still a Static Passenger by then also confirms that even if she tries to deal with her number by then, then Failure Is the Only Option.
• Save the Villain: Chloe wants to save Boscha and help her heal and would rather not stoop down to the levels of the Apex. Unfortunately she has no choice but to kill her in order to save the Train; thankfully, it turns out Boscha is just unconscious and her soul was split into different passengers.
• The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of the Red Lotus Trio.
• Something about a Rose: Roses are her flower motif this time; her favorite flowers are white roses and Specter thanked her for saving Rosie (a Pidove) with a red rose.
• Stock Shoujo Heroine: Even moreso than in canon due to her associate with pink, her kind nature and having a romantic interest this time around.
• Stock Shōnen Hero: Also has shades of this, being a cheerful girl who's more than happy to enter a fight, but is an All-Loving Heroine who wouldn't stoop to the level of killing someone, and she gets a Next Tier Power-Up later down the story.
• The Storyteller: She takes up the role in "Melancholy Afterlife" to explain the story as to what got her on the Train and the "series of unfortunate events" that befell her.
• Super Form: Her Mahamayuri Train allows her to access a form like this if given enough energy, which she uses to defeat and kill Boscha once and for all. In the fight against Boa, she uses this in conjunction with Atticus and Lexi.
• Suicidal Overconfidence: She's confident she can defeat Boscha, who's stated to be strong enough to destroy cars. The real Chloe, in contrast, would be heavily cautious about this girl. And she's right.
• Suicidal Pacifism: Despite Boscha proving herself to be way too damn strong to fight on equal footing, and way too crazy to be reasoned with, Chloe insists on trying to help her. It's only when she has no other choice does she outright kill her.
  • Every time Hazel kills her it's because Chloe is rather focused on talking things out instead of fighting. It's only when Goh states that it's not working and Chloe remembers Boa's words that she decides to beat the living hell out of this brat.
• Summon Magic: King Lartsa notes that she could summon demons. He kinda forgot to say how she did it, though. It's revealed that it's via a mark on her palm compared to it on her arm in canon. The rewrite reveals that she took the Ars Goetia from Azada.
• Symbol Motif Clothing: Her black dress has little fireball symbols, which represents her ability to cast fire. And as a whole, the attire is the opposite of Blossoming Trail's Chloe and her initial outfit — a white beach dress with blue sealife.
• That Man Is Dead: Insists on being called "Chloe" instead of Koharu Sakuragi; calling her by that will make her go into a flying rage and it only reminds her of the bad memories and trauma from Vermillion City.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: She essentially refuses to try kill Boscha, even when doing so could potentially save the entire Train from being destroyed. She only does it when there's no choice.
  • This happens again with Hazel but thankfully Goh convinces her to start fighting back. While she doesn't end up killing Hazel, she does end up weakening her.
• Tome of Eldritch Lore: This Chloe summons demons with the Ars Goetia, rather than using her cloak.
• Took a Level in Badass: Chloe was already fairly formidable when she entered the story, but once she gains the Mahamayuri Train, she can, among other things, access a pink-haired Super Mode and De-power people, which comes in handy during the fight with Boscha. In Act 3, she becomes Specter Moth when given the Peacock and Butterfly Miraculous.
• Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Comparing her in Boiling Point to how she was in Melancholy Afterlife shows a big improvement over her mood after entering the Train and becoming a household name.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Boa getting it through her head how insensitive she's been acting to people who only want to help her, as well as Zenith Fantasy charging up her Mahamayuri Train enough to give the trio a collective Super Mode leads her to not only apologize to Lexi and Atticus, but honestly thank Zenith Fantasy for their help.
• Tranquil Fury: Is utterly silent and focused when she uses the Mahamayuri Train to depower and then kill Boscha.
• Unreliable Narrator: Needless to say, given that she's much like her Blossoming Trail was at the start of her journey, it's unclear how much of her story in Chapter 5 of "Melancholy Afterlife" is the truth and how much of it is what she thinks happened.
• Walking Spoiler: Was first mentioned in Chapter 5 by King Lartsa then makes her full appearance at the end of Chapter 7. And while many readers have been excited for a confrontation between her and Boscha, they weren't expecting her to appear so soon. Or that she ends up killing her.
• Weapon Across the Shoulder: Puts her donut holer over her shoulder after accepting One-One's mission to stop Boscha.
• Weather Manipulation: One of the demons at her command can manipulate the weather, which she uses to create rain in order to help with the fight against Boscha.
• What the Hell, Hero?: She gets called out by a lot of people for recklessly going on a route by herself, to which Chloe retorted that she wouldn't have had to if people just listened to her or weren't insensitive jerks who pressured her to do things.
• Worthy Opponent: Boscha holds respect for the passenger for being "Strong"...until she saw Chloe's memories and dismissed her as a fraud.
• Wrecked Weapon: The rewrite of Chapter 13 had her donut holer bent in half when Boscha blocked a strike. Apparently Chloe has gone through six other pipes prior.
