->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HannahTelle (English), Kumi Tanaka (Japanese)
An 18-year-old girl that recently moved back to her hometown of Arcadia Bay, Max is a shy student with a passion for photography. However, her introverted nature and interests make her somewhat of an outcast at Blackwell Academy. Max's mundane life is turned around one day when she somehow gains the ability to rewind time, and begins seeing visions of the town's destruction.
----
* ActionGirl: Somewhat becomes one in the previous episodes but ultimately in Episode 5.
* {{Adorkable}}: She's quiet at first, sweet, endearing, and [[CuteClumsyGirl kind of dorky in a sheepish way]].
* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: She pleads with Mr. Jefferson in Episode 5 when he prepares a lethal injection, not because she's afraid of him killing her specifically, but because the town is about to be wiped out and she's the only one who can stop it.]]
* AllLovingHero: It's possible to play her this way: You can have her express sympathy for [[AlphaBitch Victoria]] after humiliating her, break up a fight between Dana and Juliet, comfort Kate (and ultimately [[spoiler: save her from committing suicide]]), and generally try to help other people, regardless of how unpleasant they are. The only person she can't show the slightest bit of sympathy for is [[spoiler:[[TheSociopath Mark Jefferson]]]], who is unquestionably undeserving.
* AlphaBitch: [[spoiler: Interestingly enough, the alternate version of her created when Mainstream Max saves William in Episode 3 seems to be a downplayed version before Mainstream Max gets catapulted forward in time and takes over. This Max's circle of friends now almost exclusively includes Vortex Club members such as Nathan and Victoria (who are themselves much more friendly), and her texts imply that she looks on less popular girls like Alyssa with disdain and treats her parents rather disrespectfully. Her journal entries are very sparse compared to those of Mainstream Max, and she seems much more interested in partying than school.]]
* AlternateSelf: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:Max sees a vision of one of her own alternate selves during her NightmareSequence, who has a nasty disposition and brutally berates her for messing with time and being "Chloe's puppet" until the "real" Chloe shows up and tells her to shut up. Since this is a nightmare, whether or not this other Max is in fact an alternate self is up for debate]].
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: [[spoiler: The final decision to be made in the series]] is to play this trope straight or to avert it. If she [[spoiler:chooses to save Chloe, Arcadia Bay and its residents (including friends and family of the two) will presumably perish in the storm, which was caused by Max using her powers in the first place]]. On the other hand she could [[spoiler:choose to sacrifice Chloe by using a photo to go back in time to before she knew she had powers, and allow Nathan to murder her]].
* AmbiguousDisorder: She is also shown as extremely introverted, preferring to stay in her room, has to isolate herself with music and excuse herself to the loo to to have a "meltdown" after being called on in class, is reluctant to submit her photo (despite strong encouragement from her favourite teacher), and has trouble getting to know people (even her dorm-mates), until her powers allow her to "cheat". She also comes across as aloof to her peers (a common experience for people on the autistic spectrum or with anxiety disorders) and apparently fluctuates between being too quiet or too chatty. She is in an IEP (Individualized Education Program, a program usually reserved for students with some form of disorder which means they need help) according to her [[http://i.imgur.com/F40cjby.png student file]], but otherwise nothing is confirmed.
* AnimalMotif: A doe for her. In Episode 1, she wears a shirt under her hoodie that says 'Jane' followed by a picture of a deer ([[VisualPun Jane Doe]]), she has sketches of doe in her journal, and there is a ghostly doe that leads her to the lighthouse in her second vision. In Episode 2, she wears another shirt with a picture of a deer, there's a drawing of a deer in the bathroom at the Two Whales diner, and the ghost deer (which also happens to be unaffected by Max's power) shows up when she goes to the junkyard with Chloe. If you take a picture of it, it isn't visible in the photo. In Episode 3, there's a doe in a snow globe [[spoiler:in the past at Chloe's house]]. Episode 4 strongly implies that the doe is [[spoiler: Rachel's spirit, as it was standing over her grave in the junkyard in Episode 2 and is seen watching Max and Chloe when they discover her corpse in Episode 4]]. If Max chooses to [[spoiler: sacrifice Chloe to save the town]] in Episode 5, she can be seen wearing a deer-shaped necklace at [[spoiler: the funeral]]. Alternatively, the phantom doe that Max encounters appears to be [[spoiler: Rachel's spirit]], which might make the doe Rachel's spirit animal and Max's association with it {{Foreshadowing}} of her being Rachel's {{Expy}}.
* BadassAdorable: She's an undeniably cute girl, along with being quite {{Adorkable}} and a CuteClumsyGirl, who has the power to [[TimeMaster rewind time]]. 'Nuff said.
* BadassArmfold: She frequently has this in the cutscenes.
* BadassPacifist: For the majority of the game, Max doesn't exactly get physically involved in combating her enemies. Instead, she make noble threats to her enemies, by player choice, and mostly relies on her brains over brawn while resolving conflicts.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Chose to go to Blackwell Academy because of Jefferson's photography class and being a fan of his work. She wanted Jefferson to notice her talents. [[spoiler: She got her wish...]]
* BerserkButton: Even in the early episode's where she's naturally passive and non-confrontational, she gets angry every time someone bullies [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Kate]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's one of the kindest characters in the game and a TimeMaster who can manipulate the actions of others in her favor.
* BiTheWay: Internal monologue in Episode 1 tells us she's attracted to "skater boys", though she notes the reverse isn't true. Conversation and action options (including potentially [[spoiler: kissing Chloe on a dare]]) in Episode 3 indicate she may be attracted to Chloe. [[spoiler: Chloe can mention that Max would've had a crush on Rachel as well, something Max doesn't deny.]] Throughout her journal entries, [[spoiler: and after she returns to her timeline in Episode 4]], she also frequently mentions wanting to kiss Chloe. Even before Chloe is introduced proper into the story, Max mentions her frequently. [[spoiler: Episode 5 does away with the ambiguous part. If you have enough "pro-Chloe" choices, Max will share a passionate kiss with her if you decide to sacrifice Chloe to save Arcadia Bay. At the same time, she can kiss Warren just prior to the final chapter, provided the player has made at least one choice in Warren's favor. At the end of diary no matter what player chose earlier, she questions her feelings for Chloe,about if her feelings are love.]]
* BigDamnKiss: Two potential ones in Episode 5:
** [[spoiler:She can kiss Warren before she uses his photo to travel back to save Chloe.]]
** [[spoiler:If Max sacrifices Chloe to save Arcadia Bay, the two of them share a passionate kiss if Max/the player chooses to kiss her in Episode 3 and supported her throughout the playthrough (see RelationshipValues). If not, they just give each other a heartfelt, emotional hug.]]
* BoyishShortHair: As seen in [[spoiler:her alternate 13-year-old version in Episode 3, she had black-dyed hair with a TomboyishPonytail.]] In the present, she sports a [[MessyHair messy]] brown [[SciFiBobHaircut bob cut]].
* BreakingSpeech: Gets to give a great one to Victoria thanks to hopping around the timeline and finding out loads about her. Significantly it isn't a cruel speech, it just takes down Victoria's jerkass demeanour in a few sentences, leaving her mildly stunned.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brains to Chloe's brawn. The ''beauty'' part can quality for both herself and Chloe, due to their attractive appearances.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: During the final code puzzle [[spoiler:in the Two Whales Diner bathroom during the Nightmare]], if you enter an incorrect code 50 times, Max will say that she is going to make the designers pay for making all of these code puzzles (and the door unlocks).
* BreakTheCutie: Courtesy of [[spoiler: Jefferson in the beginning of Episode 5 and her NightmareSequence also got her this nearly throughout the episode]].
* CameraFiend: She studies photography at Blackwell Academy. Therefore, she carries her camera around all the time. In sticking with her {{Hipster}} persona, it is a vintage [[http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Polaroid_Integral_600_Series 600 Series Polaroid]].
* CatchPhrase: "Wowser!" is Max's go-to exclamation, possibly to provide a dorky, childish contrast to Chloe's "hella".
* CatapultNightmare: Max does this at the beginning of Episode 3, having nodded off at her desk in her room.
* ChildhoodFriends: Max and Chloe were [=BFFs=] before Max moved. Their reunion is a trying time for both of them, as they both adjust to who the other has become in the mutual absence.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler: What their relationship can eventually become, depending on player choices.]]
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Following her CharacterDevelopment, she goes from walking past a student being picked on without even giving the player the option to make her intervene in Episode 1 to possibly [[spoiler: [[HeroBall risking her neck to save a handful of individuals in the middle of a hurricane in a reality she intends to erase via]] CosmicRetcon [[HeroBall in a few minutes anyway]]]] in Episode 5 - depending, of course, on whether the player goes along with it.
* CompanionCube: Max owns a plant named "Lisa" which she sometimes talks to and can even call her "baby" at one point. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential It is almost comically easy to kill the plant]]. She also enjoys talking to inanimate objects and animals in general.
* CoolLoser: Max sees herself as something like this. Subverted in the fact that, despite being more awkward and less extroverted than many of her peers, almost all of them hold a deep admiration for her because she doesn't seem to care what other people think of her. Chloe crushes on her throughout the game, other characters compare her to a superhero or a guardian angel if she makes the right choices, many consider her a great friend, and ''even Victoria'' says she's the coolest person she knows at Blackwell. Despite this, Max remains extremely humble and several Vortex Club members still treat her with outward disdain.
* CosmicRetcon: This is literally her superpower.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She has a habit of making messes and breaking things -- dropping David's files in oil, breaking Chloe's snow globe, etc. -- but can use her rewind to undo them. That's up to the player, though. This is referenced in Episode 3, when she calls herself clumsy and decides to just get a chair to reach a high object as opposed to trying to reach for it and inevitably breaking it. This reaches its peak in Episode 4 if you have to sneak into the VIP area of the End of the World Party. Max ends up going around the back and accidentally pushes a speaker into the pool, stopping the whole party.
* TheCutie: She's a beautiful sweetheart and is both [[{{Moe}} very lovable]] and pretty {{Adorkable}} in quirky ways.
* DamselInDistress: She is rendered helpless in the Dark Room but will make David save her.
* DeadpanSnarker: It's mostly her [[FirstPersonSmartass internal thoughts]] that verge into this territory. The following is said upon observing a "gun-free zone" poster at school:
-->'''Max:''' ''Good thing I left my AK at home.''
* DeathGlare: [[spoiler: Delivers a frightening glare at Mr. Jefferson in Episode 5, after he mocks Chloe's death.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Much like Chloe, nothing will stand in her way to find Rachel and her abductors.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Prefers to go exclusively by Max, or one of her many nicknames relating to that (Mad Max, etc).
* DoesntLikeGuns: Depending on your choices, Max can mention several times how guns freak her out. Given how many times characters shoot others and themselves by accident, she has a point.
* {{Expy}}: She's often compared to Rachel Amber, especially by Chloe who notes their similarities. Max is often associated with a phantom doe that she sees throughout the story, which is heavily implied to be [[spoiler: [[SpiritAdvisor Rachel's spirit]]]].
* {{Fanservice}}: Of sorts in Episode 3, during the scene at the pool. Granted, it's a great character scene, but her and Chloe [[PantyShot strip down to their bras and panties to go swimming]] with a FanserviceFauxFight.
* FlippingTheBird: Not physically, but if you choose to rearrange Victoria's meticulous photo wall into a crude middle finger and take a picture, [[spoiler: you get a ''trophy''.]]
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Her last choice in Episode 5: [[spoiler:Go back in time and sacrifice Chloe to save the town, or save Chloe and let the storm destroy the town, killing untold hundreds and rendering all of Max's hard work to make them happy all for nothing?]]
* GenderBlenderName: It's short for Maxine.
* GoodFeelsGood: She admits that she ''loves'' being a hero.
* TheHero: PlayedWith. She's the main character of the story, and the most level-headed among the game's cast. [[spoiler:If she saves Kate, people will be extremely friendly to her, calling her a "superhero" or a "guardian angel". Even if she can't save Kate, many still commend her for trying.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Starting in the end of Episode 3, Max because she realizes that no matter what she tries to do, Chloe's life is going to be terrible]].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Max often comically digs at herself for being too pretentious or hipster. In Episode 5, [[spoiler:everything comical about it goes away as you step into Max's nightmare. Max sees everyone as hating her -- including herself.]]
* {{Hipster}}: Falls squarely into this trope, and is frequently called out on it by Victoria and her posse. She even calls ''herself'' out on it a couple of times. Doesn't help that she much prefers the old analog cameras over digital ones, has a rug on her floor with "Keep Calm And Carry On", says things like "Are you cereal?", and believes that ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made]]. To her credit, she is aware that she certainly comes off as one, but it doesn't bother her.
* HumbleHero: [[spoiler: If you succeed in saving Kate's life, everyone will call Max a hero. Max won't think of herself as one, however and will feel barely less guilty than if she didn't succeed (there are even dialogue options where she'll beat herself up for not seeing it coming).]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: As a result of the developers encouraging exploration, Max objects to Chloe breaking into the school gym but is fine with sneaking into other students' dorms.
* IHatePastMe: [[spoiler: She encounters a time duplicate of herself in another nightmare sequence who calls her out on her mistakes.]]
* ImGoingToHellForThis: Said almost word-for-word by Max if she agreed with Chloe stealing the money from Principal Wells' office in Episode 3, when she sees a posted notice that modifications for disabled people are being postponed.
-->'''Max:''' Oh, great. Chloe stole money from the handicap access fund. ''*sigh*'' We're going to hell.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Very downplayed, but still present. Max is shown to be nothing but a NiceGirl who's shy, does the right thing ([[VideoGameCrueltyPotential most of the time]]), treats others with the utmost respect, and truly desires to save her town from the impending disaster about to strike.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Due to her kind nature.
* InSeriesNickname:
** "Mad Max". First called that by Warren in the texts in the first episode and next by Victoria in the ending of episode 3.
** If Max manages to save Kate in Episode 2, several characters around town will refer to Max as 'Super Max'.
** Other nicknames she received from fellow students are: Maximum Overdrive, Spidermax, [[Music/TheBeatles Maxwell Silver Hammer]], Max Gyver.
** She's also compared to a Ninja several times in the first couple of episodes, which eventually morphs into "Blackwell Ninja" by the third episode.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Max remarks this about her post-powers life. While happy she can help those in need, she points out that her ability to manipulate time has made her life much, much more complicated, confusing, and dangerous than she ever imagined it'd be.
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: If David didn't make it on time to save her from Jefferson putting that last injection on her neck in Episode 5, she would have been this.]]
* LastKiss: In one of the endings, [[spoiler:Max goes back in time in order to let Nathan shoot Chloe, which leads to the tornado never happening.]] Depending on the player's choices, [[spoiler: Chloe and Max will have a last passionate kiss before that]].
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:At the Dark Room, Max requests to have another look at her photograph before being killed by Jefferson.]]
* LittleMissBadass: Turns into this when the game progresses.
* MamaBear: Though she never gets to physical violence over it, Max is fiercely protective of Kate, and the player can choose to unleash a considerable tongue lashing on anyone Max thinks is deserving of one for exacerbating Kate's depression or spreading/talking about the video.
* MaleGaze: She and Chloe go for a night swim and the audience is treated to a shot of her backside while she slowly walks into the pool. See {{Fanservice}}.
* MeaningfulName: Max ''Caulfield'', as in [[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye Holden Caulfield]]. She even gets to say "phony" once in a while. More significantly, she spends most of the game trying to save Chloe's life by staying close to her and rewinding time in order to avert her deaths, similar to the way Holden wants to protect kids from falling off a cliff. Some of the most important scenes in the game even take place on the cliff next to the lighthouse.
* MentalTimeTravel: In Episode 3, [[spoiler:Max discovers she can travel much further back in time by focusing on an old photograph of herself and Chloe, arriving on the day Chloe's father died. Unlike her normal use of her powers, this places her in the body of her younger self. Though she's limited by the locale of the photograph -- the first floor of the house, in this case -- she's nevertheless able to rewrite history by changing what happened.]]
* MessyHair: Her [[SciFiBobHaircut brown bob cut]] is portrayed as this, yet she is still a very cute girl.
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: If the player chooses, she can be one to Chloe, and prevent her from doing questionable things such as stealing from the handicapped fund or violently resolving the conflict with Frank. While Chloe will then often grump about Max not doing what she wants, there are some instances, such as taking Kate's call, where she'll eventually come around to her point of view and admit that she herself was wrong.]]
* MundaneUtility: She considers using her power to sleep in for a few minutes in Episode 2, though she decides against it.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** Her unspoken (yet perfectly clear) reaction to the state of her world at the end of Episode 3 after [[spoiler: rewinding five years to save Chloe's father from being killed in a car accident]]. Among the major changes are [[spoiler:Max being member of the Vortex Club in seemingly good standing and Warren dating Stella]], but the change that really hits home is when she finds [[spoiler:that Chloe is now a quadriplegic]].
** Her reaction in Episode 5 when [[spoiler: Warren more or less tells her that her saving Chloe probably caused the storm to happen. The whole thing sends her into a nightmarish guilt trip]].
* NiceGirl: While the player has the option to make some [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential pretty mean]] decisions, personality-wise she's generally a kind and patient person. The fact that she's one of Kate's few friends says enough.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: One of the game's main themes is that Max's time travel powers can sometimes make things worse:
** If you water Max's houseplant Lisa in both Episodes 1 and 2, [[spoiler:it drowns]]. Due to a scripting error which prevented a text from Max's mother warning about this, most players didn't know any better until Episode 3, where it was patched.
** At the end of Episode 3, [[spoiler:Max manages to prevent William's death, but ForWantOfANail results in Chloe requiring a wheelchair and breathing device, Max is now a member of the Vortex Club she despises, Victoria is apparently one of her best friends, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Warren is dating Stella]]]].
** In Episode 3, Max can erase a voicemail from a cop alerting David that the police (correctly) suspect that Chloe broke into the Blackwell swimming pool. If Max deletes the message before David and Joyce can hear it, the police decide to question Chloe. Allowing David to hear the message [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold causes him to lie to the police and give Chloe a fake alibi.]]
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:if Max warned Victoria about Nathan and she believed her, Victoria will go running to Jefferson for help. Jefferson decides that Victoria [[HeKnowsTooMuch has learned too much]] and kidnaps and murders her.]]
** In Episode 5, Max finds out that [[spoiler: saving Chloe in the beginning from being killed is what causes the storm.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: She's easily drawn into Chloe's mischievous ideas.
* NotSoDifferent:
** To Victoria. They're both interested in photography and art.[[spoiler: In the alternate timeline, Alt!Max is implied to be pretty much just like the Victoria from Max's original timeline. Ironically enough, Alt!Victoria looks up to and is great friends with Alt!Max, not unlike Taylor and Courtney do to Victoria in the original timeline. Max can bring this up herself when speaking to Victoria in Episode 4 after Victoria tells her they don't have to be friends, with both agreeing that they have a lot more in common than they think.]]
** With Chloe. While at first, she comes across as the sensible friend (to the point where Joyce hopes that having Max back in her life might reign Chloe in a bit), she's quite annoyed and cynical towards authority figures (but doesn't really try to oppose them), finds Chloe's punk look cool and likes Rachel's outfit when she wears it (with the implication in the second chapter that she just doesn't like taking risks with her wardrobe) and happily goes along with various risky or outright illegal activities when she's given the chance (most notably in episode 3 [[spoiler: not only does she break into school, but she abuses her powers so she can blow up a door with a pipe bomb, joins Chloe in sneaking into the pool and potentially goes along with stealing a large amount of money[[note]]Even if the player chooses not to, this is motivated by the fact it's a "disability fund", rather than being morally opposed to the theft itself[[/note]]]]). In short, she has exactly the same RebelWithoutACause streak, just with less motivation to act on it.
* ObliviousToLove: When Dana teases her about always hanging out with Warren, Max doesn't seem to understand what she means. Later episodes show she's aware of the crush Warren has on her, but she firmly maintains that they're just friends, both in her journal and to other people. [[spoiler: It is possible to kiss Warren in episode 5 though, and once he wants to confess after that, Max will simply note that she knows about his feelings]].
* OddFriendship: Despite being of two different cliques, she and Dana genuinely like each other.
* OnlineAlias: She apparently likes to go by [[Series/DarkAngel Noir Angel]] online, according to her file (in keeping with the theme of "Max" related nicknames).
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: The NightmareSequence has a guilt trip part where an Alternate Self of Max delivers a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to herself. It isn't made clear if this is an actual alternate self, or just Max's own subconscious guilt, however.
* PersonalityPowers: We see throughout the game that Max has a lot of trouble with seizing the day, constantly dragging her feet with doing things she knows she should do but which are scary or difficult (e.g., handing in her photo, getting back in touch with Chloe) and then being ashamed and trying to make amends when she gets called on it - in other words, she keeps making mistakes and then trying to ''fix them retroactively.'' Guess what her powers enable her to do once she gets them? [[spoiler: Of course, BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor...]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Max does swear at some occasions - at least compared to the likes of [[SirSwearsAlot Chloe]] - and usually in dialogue the player will get at least one polite option they can choose. When taunted by [[spoiler: Mark Jefferson]] in the Dark Room, however, Max's two possible responses are "Fuck you" and "Eat shit and die".
* TheProtagonist: This to Chloe's {{Deuteragonist}}.
* PsychicNosebleed:
** Max gets this several times in Episode 2 after using her powers in rapid succession.
** In Episode 5, overuse of her MentalTimeTravel power causes several nosebleeds.
* PungeonMaster: Her inner dialog is peppered with lame puns.
-->'''Max:''' Maxguyver strikes again.
* PuppyDogEyes: Shared with Chloe when they asked Frank to help investigate Rachel's disappearance in Episode 4.
* TheQuietOne: She starts off as this, but gets more assertive with each episode. Her friends in danger seems to bring out the assertiveness in her, given her fierce defending of Kate should the player choose those dialogue options.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: At the end of Episode 1, on Monday evening, Max discovers that a tornado will happen on Friday, meaning she has about four days to get the bottom of whatever it is that is happening.
* RedOniBlueOni: Quiet and reserved blue to Chloe's red.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Max's memory isn't affected by her power, which is necessary to certain dialog-related choices. [[spoiler:When she changes history in Episode 3, she winds up in an Arcadia Bay which is much different than she remembers it, since her memories don't update with the timeline.]]
* SadisticChoice:
** In Episode 4, [[spoiler:she has two: helping euthanize Alt!Chloe or letting her friend suffer, then staying in the new timeline with William alive or returning to the original timeline where Chloe lives but William is dead. The first choice is up to the player, but the second Max makes on her own.]]
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:she's given the choice to save Chloe by sacrificing Arcadia Bay to the tornado or go back to the beginning and let Chloe die as she was supposed to, sparing the town]].
* SciFiBobHaircut: She sports a [[MessyHair messy]], brown one ever since the game begins.
* ScrewDestiny: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:at the final decision Max can decide to sacrifice Arcadia Bay and tear off the photo taken when Chloe was almost shot by Nathan Prescott, even if Chloe insists it's her fate to die at that point; she had pieced together by then that avoiding it culminated in the prophetic storm.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: Max was already [[TheCutie attractive and cute]], but she looks pretty nice in Rachel's outfit in Episode 3, [[spoiler:her outfit for the "Everyday Heroes" contest and her black dress in the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending in Episode 5.]]
* SheIsAllGrownUp: She was cute as a child and years later, she physically grew up beautiful as a teenager.
* ShipperOnDeck: She thinks that Warren and Brooke would be perfect for each other, and not going to the drive-in with Warren seems to push the two together.
* ShrinkingViolet: Her introduction has her completely drained by social interaction, and seeking to isolate herself. Juliet notes that she never talks, instead staying behind her camera all the time. Max seems aware of this, as she describes herself as living behind the safety of a camera lens, but also notes that it doesn't mean she doesn't care. She just doesn't often have a lot to say.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Her alternate version in Episode 5 sported heck of a one when Chloe mocked the aforementioned Max.]]
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: She moved with her parents to Seattle five years before the story begins, and only returned within the previous couple months in order to attend Arcadia Bay's finishing school. Due to the length of this period, most people don't know Max upon her return. The trope is in full effect when it comes to Chloe, however, as she is a far cry from her thirteen-year-old self. This is also why Max initially doesn't recognize Chloe when [[spoiler:the latter gets shot in the women's bathroom]].
* TimeMaster: Max has the power to rewind time, keeping herself static while time moves around her. This allows her to effectively teleport, learn things then rewind and pretend to have known them already, and take objects then bring them back with her. However, the total time she can rewind is limited to a few minutes ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation by her own perception, anyway]]), with attempts to push that limit causing headaches and nosebleeds if she pushes too hard. After overtaxing her abilities during Episode 2, she briefly [[TimeStandsStill stops time]] in an effort to [[spoiler: get to Kate]]. In Episode 3, Max fears getting stuck in that state if she isn't careful.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Both, with different people. She's the girly-girl (sort of) to Chloe's tomboy, and the tomboy to Kate's girly-girl.
* TomboyishName: ''Max''ine Caulfield.
* TookALevelInBadass: The entire game follows Max's growth from a ShrinkingViolet into an BadassAdorable hero.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She makes several comments about her love of bacon, including that it's the main reason she doesn't become a vegetarian.
* TragicKeepsake:
** [[spoiler:In Episode 5, Max can take and wear Chloe's necklace when she finally escapes the Dark Room. Of course it is on its rightful owner when Max manages to rewrite time again]].
** [[spoiler:In the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending, Max wears Chloe's spiked wristband.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: Things steadily go to shit for her throughout the entire series, but Episode 5 really puts her through the ringer. She watches Nathan kill her childhood friend, possibly sees her other best friend [[spoiler:commit suicide]]. Later, she sees an alternate reality where Chloe's dad is alive... but [[spoiler:Chloe herself was paralyzed in an accident, and is very sickly]]. In that reality, she [[spoiler: is faced with the decision of putting Alt!Chloe out of her misery, or watching her spend the rest of her days in pain]] and stressing out her family.She sees Chloe [[spoiler:shot to death by Mr. Jefferson, and is kidnapped, drugged, tied up, and nearly killed by him]]. She possibly comes across multiple dead bodies and dying people when driving through a storm-ravaged Arcadia Bay. When she finally gets to Chloe, she passes out and [[spoiler:has multiple nightmares that all the people she is or was close to hate her, everybody assumes that she'll kill them, and her own alternate self tells her she'd done nothing good for those around her]]. At the finale, she either [[spoiler: has to go back in time and let Chloe die to save Arcadia bay, or allow the oncoming storm to destroy Arcadia Bay and everyone she knew and loved to spare Chloe's life.]]
* {{Troll}}: She can be this in Episode 3 when you choose to start messing with Frank at the diner.
* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler: We never find out where Max's power came from.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatPerks: Though much of it is up to the player, one of the ways Max uses her new power is to better connect with those around her. As Brooke lampshades in Episode 4, Max seems "invincible" compared to just last week.
* YouCantFightFate: In Episode 3, [[spoiler: Max uses a photo to go back in time and change circumstances so that Chloe's father doesn't die in a car crash. She succeeds, only to discover Chloe in the new timeline was the one involved in the car crash and is paralyzed in a wheel chair. Furthermore, in Episode 4, the alternate timeline makes it clear that Chloe is going to die soon anyway due to the severity of her injuries. Max uses the same photo to go back to her timeline, learning her lesson. Chloe is then killed by Mr. Jefferson at the end of the episode, and Max can't rewind it because she's been drugged]]. Ultimately, [[spoiler:Max can fight fate, but fate makes her pay a heavy price by wiping out Arcadia Bay, instead]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:Max travels back to the beginning of the game, texts David with everything she knows about Jefferson's crimes, and submits her photo into the Everyday Heroes Contest. This results in Jefferson and Nathan getting arrested, Kate never attempting suicide, Chloe surviving, and Max winning the Contest. The game starts what appears to be a playable epilogue with Max examining her work in an art gallery in San Francisco, but then she gets a call from Chloe and learns that the tornado she saw in her visions is real and it's about to destroy Arcadia Bay. Max manages to travel back in time and destroy her photo so she doesn't win the contest, but as a consequence Jefferson burns all her photos when she's taken to the Dark Room, which means all the time travel trickery she pulled is undone since the photos she used to do it no longer exist]].

[[caption-width-right:250:Boo-yah! Get it? Like a scary punk ghost?]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AshlyBurch (Season One), Rhianna [=DeVries=] ([[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]) (English), Creator/{{Lynn}} (Japanese)
Max's childhood friend. Max witnessing her being shot by Nathan Prescott starts the plot and leads into their eventual reunion. Chloe has been searching for her missing friend Rachel Amber ever since Rachel's disappearance a few months ago, and she ropes Max into helping her look.
Chloe is also the protagonist of the prequel, ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]''.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Not an extent like Max's adorable dorkiness, but her [[IncrediblyLamePun incredibly lame puns]] she makes does cause her this. Even in ''Before The Storm'', her interactions with Rachel are endearing and adorably dorky.
* AlternateSelf: In Episode 4, Max majorly messing around with time creates an alternate universe. [[spoiler:There, William Price is still alive, but Chloe was crippled in a car accident and is slowly dying. Alt. Chloe ultimately asks Max to put her out of her misery.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Chloe shows symptoms typically associated with Borderline Personality Disorder, as characterized by her trust and abandonment issues. In one [[https://youtu.be/76D2D05pqj4 audio track]], Chloe is shown having a meltdown and expressing typical fears of someone who has BPD. Max can find Fluoxetine medication - used to treat several mental symptoms including depression and anxiety - in Chloe's house. She also self-medicates with weed, which isn't wholly uncommon among anxiety sufferers.
* AnimalMotif: A blue butterfly for her. The butterfly in the bathroom has the same shade of blue on its wings as Chloe's hair, and it's after spotting it that Max discovers her powers. [[spoiler:In Episode 4's alternate timeline, there's also a butterfly painting in what used to be Chloe's room]]. Alternatively, Chloe's spirit animal could be a bird, specifically a scrub jay - they constantly show up in her house, and Max constantly has to save them or help them find their way. Under this interpretation, the butterfly would be Max's spirit animal, because of the [[ButterflyEffect sheer impact]] her actions end up having on others. [[spoiler:In the Sacrifice Chloe ending, a blue butterfly briefly lands on Chloe's coffin during her funeral, giving Max a reason to slightly smile.]]
** In ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]'', she seems to have a crow motif.
* {{Antihero}}: Chloe is the hero of ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]'', but the story will feature how she fell into her bad habits and she associates herself with some gang thugs. Since one of her special abilities is also "Backtalk", this implies that her sharp tongue will be one of her skills to get her way.
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:By virtue of not dying on Monday afternoon, has become this. It is implied that her and Max both figured this out separately, [[HeroicSacrifice and Chloe requests that Max undoes the timeline to prevent the tornado]]]].
* AssholeVictim: In her first scene, Chloe seems to be this, ending up getting shot by Nathan as she tries to extort money from him. It goes even further when Max asks about her relationship with Nathan -- it turns out Chloe went to a party thinking she could get some money out of him while he was wasted, [[spoiler:but he drugged her and may have been planning to rape her]].
* TheAtoner: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:she states that she doesn't deserve to live as much as her mom and step-father do, so she asks Max to go back in time and let Nathan kill her]].
* BadassAdorable: More like TookALevelInBadass or if not an extent like Max, but there is no doubt that she is absolutely beautiful and {{Adorkable}}.
* BadassNormal: Chloe has to rely on her smart mouth to overcome her obstacles since she doesn't have a TimeMaster buddy yet. Sometimes it backfires and makes things worse.
* BadBadActing: Chloe's acting during ''Theatre/TheTempest'' in the prequel is somehow both wooden and [[ChewingTheScenery overly hammy]], since she has no real acting experience and is only doing it for Rachel. However, if you get all the lines and directions correct, Rachel will be able to carry the scene, and Mr. Keaton will be awed (even if you [[GameplayAndStorySegregation spent several minutes walking around the stage before moving to your cue]]). She does slightly better when Rachel veers off-script, since there's obvious subtext that Chloe picks up on.
* BeingGoodSucks: [[spoiler: She ultimately chooses to do the right thing at the end of the game. Unfortunately for her, that means she doesn't get to live to see the results.]]
* BerserkButton:
** Don't talk shit about Rachel in her presence. Or imply that she wasn't Rachel's sole romantic interest.
** A far more minor and humorous one: emojis. Every time Max uses one in an SMS during the first half of the game, Chloe will call her on it. Later episodes see her refrain from nagging increasingly often until she eventually [[CharacterDevelopment starts using them herself]].
* BiTheWay: She admits to going through a "boy toy" phase and you can find condoms in her wallet. She later admits that she was so glad that Rachel came along to rescue from it. Her relationship with Rachel, whom she admits that she loved. During Episodes 2 and 3, she flirts with Max and even dares her to kiss her, which Max can reciprocate, depending on player choice. Earlier at the pool during episode 3 in fact, she'll even say "Ooh la la!" if Max chooses to use the girls locker room. Other things that make her sexuality ambiguous include the posters in her room, one of which is of nothing but a woman's breasts. In Episode 4, she says Max is her date to the Vortex Club Party to Mr. Jefferson and asks if he would like to dance with them. She later jokes to Max that Jefferson is "hot for a teacher". Chloe [[spoiler:and her alternate self]] both ask Max if she's dating or dated anyone. Real Chloe will tell Max that "no one is good enough for you, except me", and [[spoiler:alternate Chloe]] will urge her to have fun while she can, with boys as well as girls after a nervous addition. Her flirting continues into Episode 4, where if she was kissed in Episode 3 her texts will be slightly flirtier in tone. She also texts Warren telling him that he's "out of the loop", which Warren explains means more-or-less "back off, bro". Her flirting is later overshadowed by [[spoiler:the discovery of the Dark Room and Rachel's death, as well as her fatal confrontation with Jefferson.]]. In Episode 5, [[spoiler:if Max agrees to sacrifice her to save Arcadia Bay, the two of them can share a BigDamnKiss.]]
* BigDamnKiss:
** [[spoiler:If Max sacrifices Chloe to save Arcadia Bay, the two of them share a passionate kiss if Max/the player chooses to kiss her in Episode 3 and supported her throughout the playthrough (see RelationshipValues). If not, they just give each other a heartfelt, emotional hug.]]
** Chloe and Rachel can end up having one towards the end of Episode 2 in the prequel.
* TheBigGirl: She gets more physically involved in fights than Max.
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: Receives one from Mr. Jefferson, of all people, in the end of Episode 4.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawn to Max's brain, [[spoiler: though reading the student files in Episodes 3 and 4 reveals that she at least has the potential to be a vastly better student, if not explicitly smarter.]] But, the "beauty" part can be qualified for herself and Max, due to their attractive appearances.
** ''Before the Storm'' shows that without Max, Chloe can competently act as both the brain and the brawn.
* BreakTheCutie:
** Chloe is shown to be considerably nicer than her current self back when she was 14, as we learn during [[spoiler: Max's multi-year jump backwards]] near the end of Episode 3. [[spoiler:Preventing the death of her father appears to have solved every problem in Chloe's life, making her a happier and kinder person... then Max learns that Chloe has been paralyzed and left wheelchair bound in an off-screen accident in this alternate timeline.]]
** Though some of Chloe's current situation is self inflicted (she's not exactly the nicest person to get along with), she's had a pretty bad time of it. Her father dies in a car accident (which she takes personally in her worst times), her best friend leaves and never bothers to contact her (and doesn't even try when she gets back into town), her mother remarries to someone she absolutely detests (and who may even physically abuse her), and she finally fills that void Max left in her life with Rachel... only to have Rachel vanish without a trace. [[spoiler:In Episode 3, we find out that Rachel was lying (to Chloe's face!) about her lack of a relationship with Frank, with the implication from letters that she explicitly planned on leaving Arcadia Bay with Frank rather than Chloe. In Episode 4, Frank can even mention that Rachel outright ''blamed'' Chloe for her and Frank's occasional relationship troubles.]] She's been abandoned and/or betrayed by nearly every significant person in her life, maliciously or not. Despite knowing of Rachel's relationship with Frank, Chloe is still devastated when [[spoiler:she and Max discover Rachel's corpse.]]
* BoyishShortHair: After her father died, she became a {{Tomboy}}, cut her hair short, and [[DelinquentHair dyed it blue.]]
* BrilliantButLazy: Throughout Episodes 1-3, it is mentioned several times that Chloe's rage against everything in general and RebelWithoutACause attitude is causing her to squander her talents. Even her student file, which shows an abysmal performance, comments that she could do better if only she cared more about schoolwork and less about raving and getting high. [[spoiler: Seems to be confirmed by Episode 4, as the Chloe of the alternate timeline has a perfect 4.0 GPA and is considered a "student leader despite her significant difficulties". Of course, when you're paralyzed from the neck down, there might not be much more to do than study...]] In ''Before the Storm'', she has trophies and ribbons for various science fairs and a poster by her bed with the periodic table of elements, implying a previous passion for chemistry. Of course, examining the awards causes her to wonder if she peaked in middle school. She also appears to be knowledgeable in car repair.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: With Max, who is small and slight while Chloe is [[OneHeadTaller tall and lanky]].
* ButterflyOfDoom:
** Is a victim of this big time in Episode 3. [[spoiler:Max saving the life of Chloe's father had created a new future where Chloe ends up wheelchair bound, paralyzed, and fixed with a tracheotomy in her neck.]]
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:Chloe realizes that the ultimate cause of the tornado was Max traveling back in time to save her from Nathan]].
* CatchPhrase: "Hella", to the point of becoming a MemeticMutation in no time. "[[{{Portmanteau}} Chillax]]" ('''chill''' + rel'''ax''') ranks a close second. [[spoiler: Turns out she got it from Rachel.]]
* ChildhoodFriends: Max and Chloe were [=BFFs=] before Max moved. Their reunion is a trying time for both of them, as they both adjust to who the other has become in the mutual absence.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler: What they can end up being, depending on the choices made.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: She shames Max for even daring to take a phone call from Kate. Whether her jealousy is platonic or romantic is unclear, although her (potential) kiss with Max implies the latter. She develops out of this as the game progresses, apologizing to Max if she ignored Chloe and answered the call.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: She is mostly associated with blue. Specifically her blue-dyed hair, her light-blue eyes, the butterfly, [[spoiler:and the breathing device that is attached to her neck in the alternate timeline]].
* CosmicPlaything: Absolutely nothing goes right for poor Chloe. Her father died, her mother remarried to a paranoid, emotionally abusive stepdad, her best friend moved away, her next best friend disappeared [[spoiler:and got killed]]. She's in debt to a scary drug dealer and over the course of the game, she is nearly killed by Nathan, [[spoiler:is rendered a quadriplegic in an alternate timeline created by Max which is then undone]], and [[spoiler:shot in the head, which Max can't rewind because she's been drugged]]. Oh, and the universe is actively trying to kill her.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her blue-dyed hair and blue eyes, [[spoiler:but this is averted in Max's alternate timeline in Episodes 3 and 4. Especially in ''Before The Storm''.]]
* TheCutie: She was already very beautiful and at times has cute quirky moments, but as shown [[spoiler: in Max's alternate timeline in Episodes 3 and 4, she was ''ridiculously'' joyful and upbeat in her pre-teen years.]]
* DaddysGirl: She's shown to have been very close with her biological father; her life took a ''severe'' turn for the worse after he died, and as far as she's concerned, David will never measure up to him, no matter what.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: One of Chloe's journal entries mentions doing this to Deckard from ''Film/BladeRunner'', only for her to start thinking of Pris at the end.
* DeadpanSnarker: She is definitely this whenever she's on her mean phase.
** Her snark is a game mechanic in ''Before the Storm'', dubbed as "Backtalk."
* DeathByGenreSavviness: [[spoiler: She eventually realizes in the final episode that she was linked to the tornado and asks Max to allow her to die in order to prevent the town's destruction from ever happening. Of course, you choose as to whether she dies or not.]]
* DelinquentHair: She's had a couple of run-ins with the law, gotten expelled from Blackwell, smokes pot, and has desecrated a flag to match. The blue hair suits her.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing is going to stand in her path while finding Rachel and her abductors.
* DeusAngstMachina: [[spoiler: Episodes 3-5 just pile on the hurt for Chloe. She ends up as a suicidal quadriplegic in an alternate timeline created by Max saving the life of her father, discovers Rachel's body and gets killed trying to avenge her murder, and then after being resurrected through some timey-wimey shenanigans, realizes that the cause of the approaching storm is the simple fact that she's alive when she was fated to be killed in the bathroom in the very first episode, meaning that if Max wants to save Arcadia Bay, she has no choice but to go back and let Chloe die a lonely, senseless death.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: To an extent to Max's [[TheProtagonist Protagonist]] in the original. While Max is the viewpoint character and her powers are instrumental to the plot, Chloe is intimately connected to the central mystery, and many of Max's actions are driven by her desire to protect Chloe and make her happy.
* DistressedDamsel: She gets in trouble and has to be saved by Max on several occasions:
** In Episode 1, Chloe is accidentally shot by Nathan. Max saves her by rewinding and setting off the fire alarm.
** In Episode 2, Chloe get her foot stuck in train tracks. Max comes to her rescue, freeing her before a train runs her over. During their shooting practice in the junkyard, Chloe can also get hit by a bullet that ricochets, which Max undoes by rewinding.
** In Episode 4, [[spoiler:Chloe is shot by Mr. Jefferson. Max spends most of Episode 5 trying to correct it]].
* DoesNotLikeMen: Or at least she very clearly prefers the company of girls. If she reveals to Max that she has David's missing gun, she will say that it's men who need to be controlled, and that women should have the guns.
** When playing ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' in ''Before the Storm'', she takes a [[CatharsisFactor savage glee]] in punching [=NPCs=] "[[GroinAttack right in the dick.]]"
* DontExplainTheJoke: She'll frequently ask Max if she understood her incredibly lame puns.
* DoomMagnet: Max's powers kick in when Chloe is shot. The world seems pretty set on finishing the job. [[spoiler:The universe is actually trying to kill her in retaination for Max using time travel to save her from Nathan.]]
* EvilVersusEvil: Chloe's opinion of the fight between [[JerkJock Drew]] and [[SpoiledBrat Nathan]] in the prequel. She can still intercede on Nathan's side if the player chooses, since JerkAss though he is, [[ChronicHeroSyndrome he's the one being bullied right now.]]
* {{Expy}}: She has an uncanny resemblance to [[LipstickLesbian Emma]] from ''ComicBook/BlueIsTheWarmestColor''.
* FlippingTheBird: If the player chose to reveal Max herself and takes the blame for Chloe's weed, Chloe will give David, her stepfather, a double bird-flip once he leaves her room.
* {{Foil}}: Max acknowledges that Chloe is everything she is not.
* GenkiGirl: Her happy and energetic side is what makes her at her best.
* GenreSavvy: She becomes aware of all the in-plot possibilities of Max's power pretty quickly, often joking about her rewinding something that just happened to turn it to her favor.
* GoodIsNotNice: Chloe is a decent but selfish person with an [[HiddenHeartOfGold ultimately kind heart]], and she's not above morally questionable actions if it suits her -- stealing guns from her step-father, attempted blackmail, taking money she finds in a desk drawer, etc.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She was this [[spoiler:both before William died and in Max's alternate timeline.]]
* TheHedonist: She's very pleasure-driven and prefers to goof off whenever possible.
* HeroicBSOD: Herself and Max both suffer from this in Episode 4. [[spoiler: When it's revealed that Rachel, Chloe's one best friend since Max left, has been DeadAllAlong. She breaks down crying]].
** She can also suffer this earlier, if she kills Frank. She is unable to do anything until Max encourages her.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:After Max explains that her time manipulation caused the tornado, Chloe asks Max to use the butterfly photo to travel back in time to the first episode and allow Nathan to kill her, preventing Max's time powers from manifesting. Max can choose to go along with this.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** Enjoys reading "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", enough that it is one of the few times she does homework.
** There's evidence in ''Before the Storm'' that she had a passion for chemistry before her father died. Admitting her love of science to Rachel is one of the truthful options in their game of "Two Truths and a Lie".
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Two of Chloe's associates are Frank and Nathan, who are an AxCrazy drug dealer and an AxCrazy drug addict, respectively. At least she's aware they're terrible people, she just isn't able to exploit them quite as well as she thought.
** [[spoiler: She also hits it off while she was teasing Max about Mr. Jefferson to fluster her, Guess who was behind the drugging and kidnapping of Rachel and Kate, and many other young women?]]
* HotForTeacher: Said by Chloe in Episode 4 while she was joking Max about Mr. Jefferson to fluster her.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: ''Twice'', if you can believe it. [[spoiler: Once in an alternative timeline where she's slowly dying and bankrupting her parents, and she asks Max to give her a morphine overdose. Once at the end of the game where she realizes that her not having died when she was supposed to is breaking reality enough to cause the tornado, and she asks Max to go back in time and prevent her from surviving. Max can refuse both times.]]
* IcyBlueEyes: Due to her rebellious nature, [[spoiler:although this averted in the alternate timeline in Episodes 3 and 4.]]
* IdiotHero: Zig-zagged--she's intelligent, but tends to behave in stupid, impulsive ways due to her own emotional problems, and thus mainly ends up serving as Max's muscle.
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: In Episode 2, Chloe will hit herself with a ricochet if Max suggests shooting the bumper of a car in the junkyard. Thankfully, rewind is there to save the day.
* IKnowMortalKombat: After you find out that she stole her step-father's gun, you can ask Chloe if she knows how to use it. She will respond that she knows how after watching gun videos.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:In Episode 1, Chloe parks her truck across two disability parking spaces. In Episode 3, she wants to steal money from the school's disability fund. In the alternate timeline Max creates at the end of the episode, she's a quadriplegic, and the principal is encouraging her parents to send her to another school because Blackwell doesn't have the money to accommodate her disability.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: If Max doesn't hide in time when David comes into her room, Chloe will pin the blame of the joint on Max, apparently under the impression that Max just won't face repercussions for this. In Episode 2, she will act resentful if Max takes Kate's call instead of focusing her attention solely on Chloe. She's called out on this trope in Episode 3 and fully admits to it, and Episode 4 shows her [[CharacterDevelopment slowly moving away from this]], including apologizing for giving Max shit about Kate's call. In Episode 5, she admits to being a selfish person, and completely averts this as she asks Max to [[spoiler:save Arcadia Bay from the oncoming storm by travelling back in time to before her powers manifested and letting Nathan kill her]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Outside she's selfish and constantly blames everyone for no reason whatsoever. But in the inside, she's a real sweetie with a ultimately kind heart.
* KickTheDog:
** Chloe blaming Max for her joint, despite the fact that this might get Max kicked out of Blackwell if she is caught. She'll only do it if Max/the player fails to hide.
** Trying to steal money from the Blackwell Handicap Fund. Max gives her a WhatTheHellHero moment for it. [[spoiler:Turns out it actually is a handicap access fund, which Max discovers in Episode 4.]]
* KillTheCutie: Three times. Averted when Max saved her from getting shot by Nathan in the beginning of episode 1, [[spoiler: by Jefferson at the end of Episode 4, and if you choose to sacrifice her at the end of Episode 5, it's inverted.]]
* LadySwearsALot: The most foul-mouthed person in the game. [[spoiler:Her alternate self also swears but not to the extent of this trope.]]
* TheLancer: To Max's more grounded personality. She's also the {{Deuteragonist}} by extension. Max notes in her journal that being around Chloe makes her feel giddy and rebellious.
* LaserGuidedKarma: She parks in the handicapped driving space in Episode One and attempts to steal from Blackwell's handicap fund in Episode 3. [[spoiler:After Max creates a new timeline by saving William's life, Chloe becomes handicapped herself]].
* LittleMissBadass: Somewhat shared with Max and due to her {{Tomboy}} phase.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: She plays this role a little bit for Max, who is shy and introverted by default. Max often notes that being around Chloe makes her want to do daring things she wouldn't normally see herself doing.
** Strangely enough, she seems to think of Max as having done something similar for her; she starts the game in a depressed and angry state before their rekindled friendship brings out her playful, happy side. With Max's help, she's finally able to confront the people who have wronged her (such as David and Frank), and find out the truth about Rachel. In the end, she readily admits that being with Max has made her happier than she has been in years.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: She is ultimately the price Max has to pay to save Arcadia Bay.]]
* MsFanservice: She is young and quite beautiful, but she receives a lot of MaleGaze scenes in the original.
** Her crowning moment appears in Episode 3 during the scene at the pool. Granted, it's a great character scene, but her and Max [[PantyShot strip down to their bras and panties to go swimming]] with a FanserviceFauxFight.
** Episode 5 has her stripping down to her underwear in front of Max, but this is an aversion - [[spoiler:it's while Max is trapped in the Dark Room in the middle of her nightmare.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction if [[spoiler:she kills Frank. She's devastated, openly questioning if she did the right thing, and Max's reassurances that it was self-defense.]]
* NeverMyFault: Chloe blames her problems on anyone she can except herself. She acknowledges as much in Episode 3, even though she's not willing to accept it. This is evident in the relationship between Chloe and Max. Chloe calls out Max for "abandoning" her and not making any effort to contact her, though Chloe herself tried to; while a justifiable complaint, Chloe remains bitter about this even after Max begins doing all she can to help her and doesn't begin to show real gratitude until Episode 2. In Episode 4, [[spoiler:the alternate version of Max is shown to have made some effort to stay in contact, sending letters, postcards and photographs to Chloe, but Max is still convicted for not visiting more often or making sure that Chloe didn't feel isolated or lonely. Even when the real Max assumes control of the alternate Max, Chloe still calls her out on avoiding her.]] It seems to be part of Chloe's identity to be the 'forgotten', and regardless of the choices the player makes, they will find themselves scolded for their lack of involvement in her life. However, the truth is, that while the things that happened to her are awful and tragic, it doesn't excuse her behavior and those things did not force her to take the paths she took and she alone is at fault for her choices.
* NightmareSequence: Several in the prequel.
** When David is giving her a ride to school in Episode 1, the still-exhausted Chloe falls asleep and has a dream about William driving around. Several things indicate this isn't a memory, though: Joyce's purse is sitting on the backseat next to Chloe (and it's full of condoms), and David's socket wrench is in the passenger seat pouch. Turns out it's Chloe's imagining of William's death, and she wakes up just as his car is hit by the semi-truck.
** A second, much more nightmarish sequence happens later, when Chloe falls asleep in the junkyard. This time the journal shows drawing of Max hanged from a tree, creepy texts from Max in Chloe's phone, and it ends with an image of Rachel bursting in flames.
** Episode 2 continues the trend, only this time William is roasting marshmallows in the inferno of his car. While he remains silent at first, he eventually delivers words to wisdom to Chloe. He turns his face towards Chloe to reveal that one side has been completely burned off.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Definitely not stupid, but her default "fuck the world" attitude and preoccupation with hedonistic activities like smoking make it a bit of a surprise when she shows her more knowledgeable side. She knows about several ideas and concepts such as ChaosTheory that Max doesn't know, and in Episode 3 Max finds a book about time travel on her desk, realizing that she was also throwing her back into getting to the bottom of her power. [[spoiler:Alternate Chloe was a straight A student before her accident, so she can excel when she puts her mind to it.]]
* OddFriendship: Her friendship with Max in a nutshell.
* PromotedToPlayable: In the first game, Chloe was only Max's ally, but in the prequel, she's the character you get to play as.
* {{Protagonist}}: Of the prequel, ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]''.
* PungeonMaster: Makes [[IncrediblyLamePun incredibly lame]] word play with increasing frequency as she hangs out more with Max.
* PuppyDogEyes: Shared with Max when they asked Frank to help them in their investigation of Rachel's disappearance.
* RebelliousSpirit: Often talks about how she wants to trash Arcadia Bay and everyone in it. Eventually, though, she tells Max she only says that stuff because she's angry.
* TheResenter:
** Towards the rest of her family, especially David, although she has a better relationship with Joyce. In Episode 3, she admits that [[spoiler: she partially feels Joyce abandoned her for David and that she even blames William for his own death, even though she rationally knows it isn't his fault]].
** Has varying degrees of this with pretty much ''everyone'' in Arcadia Bay. She's peeved at Max initially for not making effort to contact her, and later is furious that Rachel had been with Frank and explicitly lied to her about it. She pretty much sees everyone in her life as wanting to hurt or abandon her.
* RedOniBlueOni: Hot-headed and antagonistic red to Max's blue.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:She goes on one against Nathan once she finds Rachel's body. Unfortunately, Jefferson kills her before she can avenge Rachel.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: Implied to have been essentially this to Rachel Amber.
* RunningGag: Her overuse of the word "hella"[[note]]This word was already used way before the game was made, but not to an extent like Chloe uses it[[/note]]. It quickly picked up as a [[MemeticMutation meme]] among fans, so it soon became [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and established as a sort of CatchPhrase for her in later episodes. When Max finds herself saying it in Episode 3, Chloe remarks that she's rubbed off on her. Then when Max says it in [[spoiler: the alternate timeline]] in episode 4, [[spoiler: alternate Chloe]] will remark that she hates the word.
* SecretKeeper: Max reveals her rewind power to Chloe at the end of Episode 1.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: While she was cute as a child, she is absolutely beautiful as a teenager. Max noticed...
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler: How her story ends in the timeline created in the "Save Arcadia Bay" ending. After a life full of pain, Nathan fatally shoots her by accident and she dies for nothing, completely unaware that her former best friend is sobbing a few feet away.]]
* StatuesqueStunner: She's OneHeadTaller than Max, who frequently notes how well she's turned out.
* TheStoner: She really loves her weed, although she's not a total pothead like her friend Justin.
* TattooedCrook: A heroic (sort of) example. Her right arm is filled with tattoos, and she's a familiar face at the local police station for all the wrong reasons ([[DownplayedTrope though mostly only petty vandalism and drug possession]]).
* TheTease: She likes to playfully flirt with Max and purposely make her feel uncomfortable by propositioning her. [[spoiler: This comes back against her if the player takes her up on her request to kiss her.]]
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: She dies on very frequent basis, but thanks to Max's time travel abilities she keeps coming back.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: She dies right next to the spot where Rachel is buried.]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Max's girly-girl.
* TooDumbToLive: Tends to show this ''a lot'' throughout the game (at least once per episode) and if it were not for Max and her powers, she would have stayed dead in the first timeline. For example: What the the hell were Max and Chloe thinking when they decided to have a lie down on ''train tracks?!''
%%* TookALevelInBadass
* TookALevelInJerkass: In Episode 2, when she tries to guilt-trip Max into going along with her ideas. Max ends up getting a PsychicNosebleed a couple times from overtaxing her powers, and she actively disparages Max for considering [[spoiler:taking a call from the depressed Kate]].
* TookALevelInKindness: Starts showing signs of maturing and accepting responsibilities for her actions in Episode 4, depending on the choices the player makes, such as [[spoiler: apologizing to Max for being selfish when Kate called her in the diner in Episode 2 should she survive the suicide attempt.]]
** In Episode 5, this increases ten fold, when you first [[spoiler:rewind back she still gives Max a ton of attitude for trying to stop her going to the party and taking revenge on Nathan or Jefferson despite Max being visibly upset/shaken, and even seems to accuse Max, implying that whatever happened was her fault, at first, but when she realizes just what happened to Max as a result of her actions and what she had to go through to get back to warn her she back-pedals hard and seems to feel both concerned for Max and guilty. It's to the extent she does not even blow up at Max if you tell her about the alternate timeline, and even gently coaxes Max into telling her in one dialogue option. Chloe becomes a lot more caring and sympathetic towards Max in general after that.]]
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Most of her interactions with Max ends up with Chloe getting Max into trouble, both intentionally and unintentionally. Joyce hopes that Max will be a good influence on her, but the player can certainly make it go the other way around with their decisions.
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:After her and Max discover Rachel's buried body, her personality goes from "sarcastic and {{Adorkable}}" to a "''really'' freaking angry person about to avenge her friend's murder." Sadly, it didn't go so well for both herself and Max.]]
* TroubledButCute: Complete with leather jacket and extreme moodiness, Chloe is a textbook example, gender notwithstanding. She was kicked out of school, spends most of her time drinking and smoking in a junkyard, and makes terrible life choices every single day. She'll still win you over with her beautiful looks, sharp grin, HiddenHeartOfGold, and truly awful past.
* TrueCompanions: She views Max as her only best friend left.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: One good reason why we see Chloe now as a selfish-hotheaded rebel is because of her father, William who suddenly died in the car accident when Max and Chloe were in their childhood five years ago which somehow severely traumatized Chloe, transforming her from a naive kind girl to an irrational bitter teenager. Max on the other hand decided to avert [[spoiler: William's death giving Chloe her opportunity to be happy but at a cost of being bound to the wheelchair permanently in the new timeline that Max sadly has to undo it to return to the original timeline but not before reassuring Chloe she will be there for her no matter what circumstances happen to them.]]
* VerbalTic: "Hella". Lampshaded when Max [[GotMeDoingIt offhandedly uses the word]] and Chloe jokes that she's rubbing off on her. Ironically, [[spoiler:Alternate Chloe hates the word and complains about Max using it]].
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Despite having IcyBlueEyes, they're rather dazzling to look at.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** After she saves Max from Nathan and shared some witty banter, she will call Max out on never contacting her after she moved away, and still not contacting her after she moved back.
** In Episode 2, she will [[spoiler:harass Max about letting her step-father's gun be taken right from her hands, should you not choose to shoot. She lets it go pretty fast, though, and comments immediately after the fact she's kind of glad it happened]].
** In Episode 3, she rounds on Max if you choose to [[spoiler:side with David when she and David argue at the Price house]].

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/66add992bbd392b02a5d971c4ef38004.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250: I take photos. Of me, the world, everything. It may sound sad, but I have a blast.]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HannahTelle (English), Kumi Tanaka (Japanese)
An 18-year-old girl that recently moved back to her hometown of Arcadia Bay, Max is a shy student with a passion for photography. However, her introverted nature and interests make her somewhat of an outcast at Blackwell Academy. Max's mundane life is turned around one day when she somehow gains the ability to rewind time, and begins seeing visions of the town's destruction.
----
* ActionGirl: Somewhat becomes one in the previous episodes but ultimately in Episode 5.
* {{Adorkable}}: She's quiet at first, sweet, endearing, and [[CuteClumsyGirl kind of dorky in a sheepish way]].
* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: She pleads with Mr. Jefferson in Episode 5 when he prepares a lethal injection, not because she's afraid of him killing her specifically, but because the town is about to be wiped out and she's the only one who can stop it.]]
* AllLovingHero: It's possible to play her this way: You can have her express sympathy for [[AlphaBitch Victoria]] after humiliating her, break up a fight between Dana and Juliet, comfort Kate (and ultimately [[spoiler: save her from committing suicide]]), and generally try to help other people, regardless of how unpleasant they are. The only person she can't show the slightest bit of sympathy for is [[spoiler:[[TheSociopath Mark Jefferson]]]], who is unquestionably undeserving.
* AlphaBitch: [[spoiler: Interestingly enough, the alternate version of her created when Mainstream Max saves William in Episode 3 seems to be a downplayed version before Mainstream Max gets catapulted forward in time and takes over. This Max's circle of friends now almost exclusively includes Vortex Club members such as Nathan and Victoria (who are themselves much more friendly), and her texts imply that she looks on less popular girls like Alyssa with disdain and treats her parents rather disrespectfully. Her journal entries are very sparse compared to those of Mainstream Max, and she seems much more interested in partying than school.]]
* AlternateSelf: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:Max sees a vision of one of her own alternate selves during her NightmareSequence, who has a nasty disposition and brutally berates her for messing with time and being "Chloe's puppet" until the "real" Chloe shows up and tells her to shut up. Since this is a nightmare, whether or not this other Max is in fact an alternate self is up for debate]].
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: [[spoiler: The final decision to be made in the series]] is to play this trope straight or to avert it. If she [[spoiler:chooses to save Chloe, Arcadia Bay and its residents (including friends and family of the two) will presumably perish in the storm, which was caused by Max using her powers in the first place]]. On the other hand she could [[spoiler:choose to sacrifice Chloe by using a photo to go back in time to before she knew she had powers, and allow Nathan to murder her]].
* AmbiguousDisorder: She is also shown as extremely introverted, preferring to stay in her room, has to isolate herself with music and excuse herself to the loo to to have a "meltdown" after being called on in class, is reluctant to submit her photo (despite strong encouragement from her favourite teacher), and has trouble getting to know people (even her dorm-mates), until her powers allow her to "cheat". She also comes across as aloof to her peers (a common experience for people on the autistic spectrum or with anxiety disorders) and apparently fluctuates between being too quiet or too chatty. She is in an IEP (Individualized Education Program, a program usually reserved for students with some form of disorder which means they need help) according to her [[http://i.imgur.com/F40cjby.png student file]], but otherwise nothing is confirmed.
* AnimalMotif: A doe for her. In Episode 1, she wears a shirt under her hoodie that says 'Jane' followed by a picture of a deer ([[VisualPun Jane Doe]]), she has sketches of doe in her journal, and there is a ghostly doe that leads her to the lighthouse in her second vision. In Episode 2, she wears another shirt with a picture of a deer, there's a drawing of a deer in the bathroom at the Two Whales diner, and the ghost deer (which also happens to be unaffected by Max's power) shows up when she goes to the junkyard with Chloe. If you take a picture of it, it isn't visible in the photo. In Episode 3, there's a doe in a snow globe [[spoiler:in the past at Chloe's house]]. Episode 4 strongly implies that the doe is [[spoiler: Rachel's spirit, as it was standing over her grave in the junkyard in Episode 2 and is seen watching Max and Chloe when they discover her corpse in Episode 4]]. If Max chooses to [[spoiler: sacrifice Chloe to save the town]] in Episode 5, she can be seen wearing a deer-shaped necklace at [[spoiler: the funeral]]. Alternatively, the phantom doe that Max encounters appears to be [[spoiler: Rachel's spirit]], which might make the doe Rachel's spirit animal and Max's association with it {{Foreshadowing}} of her being Rachel's {{Expy}}.
* BadassAdorable: She's an undeniably cute girl, along with being quite {{Adorkable}} and a CuteClumsyGirl, who has the power to [[TimeMaster rewind time]]. 'Nuff said.
* BadassArmfold: She frequently has this in the cutscenes.
* BadassPacifist: For the majority of the game, Max doesn't exactly get physically involved in combating her enemies. Instead, she make noble threats to her enemies, by player choice, and mostly relies on her brains over brawn while resolving conflicts.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Chose to go to Blackwell Academy because of Jefferson's photography class and being a fan of his work. She wanted Jefferson to notice her talents. [[spoiler: She got her wish...]]
* BerserkButton: Even in the early episode's where she's naturally passive and non-confrontational, she gets angry every time someone bullies [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Kate]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's one of the kindest characters in the game and a TimeMaster who can manipulate the actions of others in her favor.
* BiTheWay: Internal monologue in Episode 1 tells us she's attracted to "skater boys", though she notes the reverse isn't true. Conversation and action options (including potentially [[spoiler: kissing Chloe on a dare]]) in Episode 3 indicate she may be attracted to Chloe. [[spoiler: Chloe can mention that Max would've had a crush on Rachel as well, something Max doesn't deny.]] Throughout her journal entries, [[spoiler: and after she returns to her timeline in Episode 4]], she also frequently mentions wanting to kiss Chloe. Even before Chloe is introduced proper into the story, Max mentions her frequently. [[spoiler: Episode 5 does away with the ambiguous part. If you have enough "pro-Chloe" choices, Max will share a passionate kiss with her if you decide to sacrifice Chloe to save Arcadia Bay. At the same time, she can kiss Warren just prior to the final chapter, provided the player has made at least one choice in Warren's favor. At the end of diary no matter what player chose earlier, she questions her feelings for Chloe,about if her feelings are love.]]
* BigDamnKiss: Two potential ones in Episode 5:
** [[spoiler:She can kiss Warren before she uses his photo to travel back to save Chloe.]]
** [[spoiler:If Max sacrifices Chloe to save Arcadia Bay, the two of them share a passionate kiss if Max/the player chooses to kiss her in Episode 3 and supported her throughout the playthrough (see RelationshipValues). If not, they just give each other a heartfelt, emotional hug.]]
* BoyishShortHair: As seen in [[spoiler:her alternate 13-year-old version in Episode 3, she had black-dyed hair with a TomboyishPonytail.]] In the present, she sports a [[MessyHair messy]] brown [[SciFiBobHaircut bob cut]].
* BreakingSpeech: Gets to give a great one to Victoria thanks to hopping around the timeline and finding out loads about her. Significantly it isn't a cruel speech, it just takes down Victoria's jerkass demeanour in a few sentences, leaving her mildly stunned.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brains to Chloe's brawn. The ''beauty'' part can quality for both herself and Chloe, due to their attractive appearances.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: During the final code puzzle [[spoiler:in the Two Whales Diner bathroom during the Nightmare]], if you enter an incorrect code 50 times, Max will say that she is going to make the designers pay for making all of these code puzzles (and the door unlocks).
* BreakTheCutie: Courtesy of [[spoiler: Jefferson in the beginning of Episode 5 and her NightmareSequence also got her this nearly throughout the episode]].
* CameraFiend: She studies photography at Blackwell Academy. Therefore, she carries her camera around all the time. In sticking with her {{Hipster}} persona, it is a vintage [[http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Polaroid_Integral_600_Series 600 Series Polaroid]].
* CatchPhrase: "Wowser!" is Max's go-to exclamation, possibly to provide a dorky, childish contrast to Chloe's "hella".
* CatapultNightmare: Max does this at the beginning of Episode 3, having nodded off at her desk in her room.
* ChildhoodFriends: Max and Chloe were [=BFFs=] before Max moved. Their reunion is a trying time for both of them, as they both adjust to who the other has become in the mutual absence.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler: What their relationship can eventually become, depending on player choices.]]
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Following her CharacterDevelopment, she goes from walking past a student being picked on without even giving the player the option to make her intervene in Episode 1 to possibly [[spoiler: [[HeroBall risking her neck to save a handful of individuals in the middle of a hurricane in a reality she intends to erase via]] CosmicRetcon [[HeroBall in a few minutes anyway]]]] in Episode 5 - depending, of course, on whether the player goes along with it.
* CompanionCube: Max owns a plant named "Lisa" which she sometimes talks to and can even call her "baby" at one point. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential It is almost comically easy to kill the plant]]. She also enjoys talking to inanimate objects and animals in general.
* CoolLoser: Max sees herself as something like this. Subverted in the fact that, despite being more awkward and less extroverted than many of her peers, almost all of them hold a deep admiration for her because she doesn't seem to care what other people think of her. Chloe crushes on her throughout the game, other characters compare her to a superhero or a guardian angel if she makes the right choices, many consider her a great friend, and ''even Victoria'' says she's the coolest person she knows at Blackwell. Despite this, Max remains extremely humble and several Vortex Club members still treat her with outward disdain.
* CosmicRetcon: This is literally her superpower.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She has a habit of making messes and breaking things -- dropping David's files in oil, breaking Chloe's snow globe, etc. -- but can use her rewind to undo them. That's up to the player, though. This is referenced in Episode 3, when she calls herself clumsy and decides to just get a chair to reach a high object as opposed to trying to reach for it and inevitably breaking it. This reaches its peak in Episode 4 if you have to sneak into the VIP area of the End of the World Party. Max ends up going around the back and accidentally pushes a speaker into the pool, stopping the whole party.
* TheCutie: She's a beautiful sweetheart and is both [[{{Moe}} very lovable]] and pretty {{Adorkable}} in quirky ways.
* DamselInDistress: She is rendered helpless in the Dark Room but will make David save her.
* DeadpanSnarker: It's mostly her [[FirstPersonSmartass internal thoughts]] that verge into this territory. The following is said upon observing a "gun-free zone" poster at school:
-->'''Max:''' ''Good thing I left my AK at home.''
* DeathGlare: [[spoiler: Delivers a frightening glare at Mr. Jefferson in Episode 5, after he mocks Chloe's death.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Much like Chloe, nothing will stand in her way to find Rachel and her abductors.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Prefers to go exclusively by Max, or one of her many nicknames relating to that (Mad Max, etc).
* DoesntLikeGuns: Depending on your choices, Max can mention several times how guns freak her out. Given how many times characters shoot others and themselves by accident, she has a point.
* {{Expy}}: She's often compared to Rachel Amber, especially by Chloe who notes their similarities. Max is often associated with a phantom doe that she sees throughout the story, which is heavily implied to be [[spoiler: [[SpiritAdvisor Rachel's spirit]]]].
* {{Fanservice}}: Of sorts in Episode 3, during the scene at the pool. Granted, it's a great character scene, but her and Chloe [[PantyShot strip down to their bras and panties to go swimming]] with a FanserviceFauxFight.
* FlippingTheBird: Not physically, but if you choose to rearrange Victoria's meticulous photo wall into a crude middle finger and take a picture, [[spoiler: you get a ''trophy''.]]
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Her last choice in Episode 5: [[spoiler:Go back in time and sacrifice Chloe to save the town, or save Chloe and let the storm destroy the town, killing untold hundreds and rendering all of Max's hard work to make them happy all for nothing?]]
* GenderBlenderName: It's short for Maxine.
* GoodFeelsGood: She admits that she ''loves'' being a hero.
* TheHero: PlayedWith. She's the main character of the story, and the most level-headed among the game's cast. [[spoiler:If she saves Kate, people will be extremely friendly to her, calling her a "superhero" or a "guardian angel". Even if she can't save Kate, many still commend her for trying.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Starting in the end of Episode 3, Max because she realizes that no matter what she tries to do, Chloe's life is going to be terrible]].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Max often comically digs at herself for being too pretentious or hipster. In Episode 5, [[spoiler:everything comical about it goes away as you step into Max's nightmare. Max sees everyone as hating her -- including herself.]]
* {{Hipster}}: Falls squarely into this trope, and is frequently called out on it by Victoria and her posse. She even calls ''herself'' out on it a couple of times. Doesn't help that she much prefers the old analog cameras over digital ones, has a rug on her floor with "Keep Calm And Carry On", says things like "Are you cereal?", and believes that ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made]]. To her credit, she is aware that she certainly comes off as one, but it doesn't bother her.
* HumbleHero: [[spoiler: If you succeed in saving Kate's life, everyone will call Max a hero. Max won't think of herself as one, however and will feel barely less guilty than if she didn't succeed (there are even dialogue options where she'll beat herself up for not seeing it coming).]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: As a result of the developers encouraging exploration, Max objects to Chloe breaking into the school gym but is fine with sneaking into other students' dorms.
* IHatePastMe: [[spoiler: She encounters a time duplicate of herself in another nightmare sequence who calls her out on her mistakes.]]
* ImGoingToHellForThis: Said almost word-for-word by Max if she agreed with Chloe stealing the money from Principal Wells' office in Episode 3, when she sees a posted notice that modifications for disabled people are being postponed.
-->'''Max:''' Oh, great. Chloe stole money from the handicap access fund. ''*sigh*'' We're going to hell.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Very downplayed, but still present. Max is shown to be nothing but a NiceGirl who's shy, does the right thing ([[VideoGameCrueltyPotential most of the time]]), treats others with the utmost respect, and truly desires to save her town from the impending disaster about to strike.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Due to her kind nature.
* InSeriesNickname:
** "Mad Max". First called that by Warren in the texts in the first episode and next by Victoria in the ending of episode 3.
** If Max manages to save Kate in Episode 2, several characters around town will refer to Max as 'Super Max'.
** Other nicknames she received from fellow students are: Maximum Overdrive, Spidermax, [[Music/TheBeatles Maxwell Silver Hammer]], Max Gyver.
** She's also compared to a Ninja several times in the first couple of episodes, which eventually morphs into "Blackwell Ninja" by the third episode.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Max remarks this about her post-powers life. While happy she can help those in need, she points out that her ability to manipulate time has made her life much, much more complicated, confusing, and dangerous than she ever imagined it'd be.
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: If David didn't make it on time to save her from Jefferson putting that last injection on her neck in Episode 5, she would have been this.]]
* LastKiss: In one of the endings, [[spoiler:Max goes back in time in order to let Nathan shoot Chloe, which leads to the tornado never happening.]] Depending on the player's choices, [[spoiler: Chloe and Max will have a last passionate kiss before that]].
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:At the Dark Room, Max requests to have another look at her photograph before being killed by Jefferson.]]
* LittleMissBadass: Turns into this when the game progresses.
* MamaBear: Though she never gets to physical violence over it, Max is fiercely protective of Kate, and the player can choose to unleash a considerable tongue lashing on anyone Max thinks is deserving of one for exacerbating Kate's depression or spreading/talking about the video.
* MaleGaze: She and Chloe go for a night swim and the audience is treated to a shot of her backside while she slowly walks into the pool. See {{Fanservice}}.
* MeaningfulName: Max ''Caulfield'', as in [[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye Holden Caulfield]]. She even gets to say "phony" once in a while. More significantly, she spends most of the game trying to save Chloe's life by staying close to her and rewinding time in order to avert her deaths, similar to the way Holden wants to protect kids from falling off a cliff. Some of the most important scenes in the game even take place on the cliff next to the lighthouse.
* MentalTimeTravel: In Episode 3, [[spoiler:Max discovers she can travel much further back in time by focusing on an old photograph of herself and Chloe, arriving on the day Chloe's father died. Unlike her normal use of her powers, this places her in the body of her younger self. Though she's limited by the locale of the photograph -- the first floor of the house, in this case -- she's nevertheless able to rewrite history by changing what happened.]]
* MessyHair: Her [[SciFiBobHaircut brown bob cut]] is portrayed as this, yet she is still a very cute girl.
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: If the player chooses, she can be one to Chloe, and prevent her from doing questionable things such as stealing from the handicapped fund or violently resolving the conflict with Frank. While Chloe will then often grump about Max not doing what she wants, there are some instances, such as taking Kate's call, where she'll eventually come around to her point of view and admit that she herself was wrong.]]
* MundaneUtility: She considers using her power to sleep in for a few minutes in Episode 2, though she decides against it.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** Her unspoken (yet perfectly clear) reaction to the state of her world at the end of Episode 3 after [[spoiler: rewinding five years to save Chloe's father from being killed in a car accident]]. Among the major changes are [[spoiler:Max being member of the Vortex Club in seemingly good standing and Warren dating Stella]], but the change that really hits home is when she finds [[spoiler:that Chloe is now a quadriplegic]].
** Her reaction in Episode 5 when [[spoiler: Warren more or less tells her that her saving Chloe probably caused the storm to happen. The whole thing sends her into a nightmarish guilt trip]].
* NiceGirl: While the player has the option to make some [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential pretty mean]] decisions, personality-wise she's generally a kind and patient person. The fact that she's one of Kate's few friends says enough.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: One of the game's main themes is that Max's time travel powers can sometimes make things worse:
** If you water Max's houseplant Lisa in both Episodes 1 and 2, [[spoiler:it drowns]]. Due to a scripting error which prevented a text from Max's mother warning about this, most players didn't know any better until Episode 3, where it was patched.
** At the end of Episode 3, [[spoiler:Max manages to prevent William's death, but ForWantOfANail results in Chloe requiring a wheelchair and breathing device, Max is now a member of the Vortex Club she despises, Victoria is apparently one of her best friends, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Warren is dating Stella]]]].
** In Episode 3, Max can erase a voicemail from a cop alerting David that the police (correctly) suspect that Chloe broke into the Blackwell swimming pool. If Max deletes the message before David and Joyce can hear it, the police decide to question Chloe. Allowing David to hear the message [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold causes him to lie to the police and give Chloe a fake alibi.]]
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:if Max warned Victoria about Nathan and she believed her, Victoria will go running to Jefferson for help. Jefferson decides that Victoria [[HeKnowsTooMuch has learned too much]] and kidnaps and murders her.]]
** In Episode 5, Max finds out that [[spoiler: saving Chloe in the beginning from being killed is what causes the storm.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: She's easily drawn into Chloe's mischievous ideas.
* NotSoDifferent:
** To Victoria. They're both interested in photography and art.[[spoiler: In the alternate timeline, Alt!Max is implied to be pretty much just like the Victoria from Max's original timeline. Ironically enough, Alt!Victoria looks up to and is great friends with Alt!Max, not unlike Taylor and Courtney do to Victoria in the original timeline. Max can bring this up herself when speaking to Victoria in Episode 4 after Victoria tells her they don't have to be friends, with both agreeing that they have a lot more in common than they think.]]
** With Chloe. While at first, she comes across as the sensible friend (to the point where Joyce hopes that having Max back in her life might reign Chloe in a bit), she's quite annoyed and cynical towards authority figures (but doesn't really try to oppose them), finds Chloe's punk look cool and likes Rachel's outfit when she wears it (with the implication in the second chapter that she just doesn't like taking risks with her wardrobe) and happily goes along with various risky or outright illegal activities when she's given the chance (most notably in episode 3 [[spoiler: not only does she break into school, but she abuses her powers so she can blow up a door with a pipe bomb, joins Chloe in sneaking into the pool and potentially goes along with stealing a large amount of money[[note]]Even if the player chooses not to, this is motivated by the fact it's a "disability fund", rather than being morally opposed to the theft itself[[/note]]]]). In short, she has exactly the same RebelWithoutACause streak, just with less motivation to act on it.
* ObliviousToLove: When Dana teases her about always hanging out with Warren, Max doesn't seem to understand what she means. Later episodes show she's aware of the crush Warren has on her, but she firmly maintains that they're just friends, both in her journal and to other people. [[spoiler: It is possible to kiss Warren in episode 5 though, and once he wants to confess after that, Max will simply note that she knows about his feelings]].
* OddFriendship: Despite being of two different cliques, she and Dana genuinely like each other.
* OnlineAlias: She apparently likes to go by [[Series/DarkAngel Noir Angel]] online, according to her file (in keeping with the theme of "Max" related nicknames).
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: The NightmareSequence has a guilt trip part where an Alternate Self of Max delivers a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to herself. It isn't made clear if this is an actual alternate self, or just Max's own subconscious guilt, however.
* PersonalityPowers: We see throughout the game that Max has a lot of trouble with seizing the day, constantly dragging her feet with doing things she knows she should do but which are scary or difficult (e.g., handing in her photo, getting back in touch with Chloe) and then being ashamed and trying to make amends when she gets called on it - in other words, she keeps making mistakes and then trying to ''fix them retroactively.'' Guess what her powers enable her to do once she gets them? [[spoiler: Of course, BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor...]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Max does swear at some occasions - at least compared to the likes of [[SirSwearsAlot Chloe]] - and usually in dialogue the player will get at least one polite option they can choose. When taunted by [[spoiler: Mark Jefferson]] in the Dark Room, however, Max's two possible responses are "Fuck you" and "Eat shit and die".
* TheProtagonist: This to Chloe's {{Deuteragonist}}.
* PsychicNosebleed:
** Max gets this several times in Episode 2 after using her powers in rapid succession.
** In Episode 5, overuse of her MentalTimeTravel power causes several nosebleeds.
* PungeonMaster: Her inner dialog is peppered with lame puns.
-->'''Max:''' Maxguyver strikes again.
* PuppyDogEyes: Shared with Chloe when they asked Frank to help investigate Rachel's disappearance in Episode 4.
* TheQuietOne: She starts off as this, but gets more assertive with each episode. Her friends in danger seems to bring out the assertiveness in her, given her fierce defending of Kate should the player choose those dialogue options.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: At the end of Episode 1, on Monday evening, Max discovers that a tornado will happen on Friday, meaning she has about four days to get the bottom of whatever it is that is happening.
* RedOniBlueOni: Quiet and reserved blue to Chloe's red.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Max's memory isn't affected by her power, which is necessary to certain dialog-related choices. [[spoiler:When she changes history in Episode 3, she winds up in an Arcadia Bay which is much different than she remembers it, since her memories don't update with the timeline.]]
* SadisticChoice:
** In Episode 4, [[spoiler:she has two: helping euthanize Alt!Chloe or letting her friend suffer, then staying in the new timeline with William alive or returning to the original timeline where Chloe lives but William is dead. The first choice is up to the player, but the second Max makes on her own.]]
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:she's given the choice to save Chloe by sacrificing Arcadia Bay to the tornado or go back to the beginning and let Chloe die as she was supposed to, sparing the town]].
* SciFiBobHaircut: She sports a [[MessyHair messy]], brown one ever since the game begins.
* ScrewDestiny: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:at the final decision Max can decide to sacrifice Arcadia Bay and tear off the photo taken when Chloe was almost shot by Nathan Prescott, even if Chloe insists it's her fate to die at that point; she had pieced together by then that avoiding it culminated in the prophetic storm.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: Max was already [[TheCutie attractive and cute]], but she looks pretty nice in Rachel's outfit in Episode 3, [[spoiler:her outfit for the "Everyday Heroes" contest and her black dress in the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending in Episode 5.]]
* SheIsAllGrownUp: She was cute as a child and years later, she physically grew up beautiful as a teenager.
* ShipperOnDeck: She thinks that Warren and Brooke would be perfect for each other, and not going to the drive-in with Warren seems to push the two together.
* ShrinkingViolet: Her introduction has her completely drained by social interaction, and seeking to isolate herself. Juliet notes that she never talks, instead staying behind her camera all the time. Max seems aware of this, as she describes herself as living behind the safety of a camera lens, but also notes that it doesn't mean she doesn't care. She just doesn't often have a lot to say.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Her alternate version in Episode 5 sported heck of a one when Chloe mocked the aforementioned Max.]]
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: She moved with her parents to Seattle five years before the story begins, and only returned within the previous couple months in order to attend Arcadia Bay's finishing school. Due to the length of this period, most people don't know Max upon her return. The trope is in full effect when it comes to Chloe, however, as she is a far cry from her thirteen-year-old self. This is also why Max initially doesn't recognize Chloe when [[spoiler:the latter gets shot in the women's bathroom]].
* TimeMaster: Max has the power to rewind time, keeping herself static while time moves around her. This allows her to effectively teleport, learn things then rewind and pretend to have known them already, and take objects then bring them back with her. However, the total time she can rewind is limited to a few minutes ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation by her own perception, anyway]]), with attempts to push that limit causing headaches and nosebleeds if she pushes too hard. After overtaxing her abilities during Episode 2, she briefly [[TimeStandsStill stops time]] in an effort to [[spoiler: get to Kate]]. In Episode 3, Max fears getting stuck in that state if she isn't careful.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Both, with different people. She's the girly-girl (sort of) to Chloe's tomboy, and the tomboy to Kate's girly-girl.
* TomboyishName: ''Max''ine Caulfield.
* TookALevelInBadass: The entire game follows Max's growth from a ShrinkingViolet into an BadassAdorable hero.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She makes several comments about her love of bacon, including that it's the main reason she doesn't become a vegetarian.
* TragicKeepsake:
** [[spoiler:In Episode 5, Max can take and wear Chloe's necklace when she finally escapes the Dark Room. Of course it is on its rightful owner when Max manages to rewrite time again]].
** [[spoiler:In the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending, Max wears Chloe's spiked wristband.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: Things steadily go to shit for her throughout the entire series, but Episode 5 really puts her through the ringer. She watches Nathan kill her childhood friend, possibly sees her other best friend [[spoiler:commit suicide]]. Later, she sees an alternate reality where Chloe's dad is alive... but [[spoiler:Chloe herself was paralyzed in an accident, and is very sickly]]. In that reality, she [[spoiler: is faced with the decision of putting Alt!Chloe out of her misery, or watching her spend the rest of her days in pain]] and stressing out her family.She sees Chloe [[spoiler:shot to death by Mr. Jefferson, and is kidnapped, drugged, tied up, and nearly killed by him]]. She possibly comes across multiple dead bodies and dying people when driving through a storm-ravaged Arcadia Bay. When she finally gets to Chloe, she passes out and [[spoiler:has multiple nightmares that all the people she is or was close to hate her, everybody assumes that she'll kill them, and her own alternate self tells her she'd done nothing good for those around her]]. At the finale, she either [[spoiler: has to go back in time and let Chloe die to save Arcadia bay, or allow the oncoming storm to destroy Arcadia Bay and everyone she knew and loved to spare Chloe's life.]]
* {{Troll}}: She can be this in Episode 3 when you choose to start messing with Frank at the diner.
* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler: We never find out where Max's power came from.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatPerks: Though much of it is up to the player, one of the ways Max uses her new power is to better connect with those around her. As Brooke lampshades in Episode 4, Max seems "invincible" compared to just last week.
* YouCantFightFate: In Episode 3, [[spoiler: Max uses a photo to go back in time and change circumstances so that Chloe's father doesn't die in a car crash. She succeeds, only to discover Chloe in the new timeline was the one involved in the car crash and is paralyzed in a wheel chair. Furthermore, in Episode 4, the alternate timeline makes it clear that Chloe is going to die soon anyway due to the severity of her injuries. Max uses the same photo to go back to her timeline, learning her lesson. Chloe is then killed by Mr. Jefferson at the end of the episode, and Max can't rewind it because she's been drugged]]. Ultimately, [[spoiler:Max can fight fate, but fate makes her pay a heavy price by wiping out Arcadia Bay, instead]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:Max travels back to the beginning of the game, texts David with everything she knows about Jefferson's crimes, and submits her photo into the Everyday Heroes Contest. This results in Jefferson and Nathan getting arrested, Kate never attempting suicide, Chloe surviving, and Max winning the Contest. The game starts what appears to be a playable epilogue with Max examining her work in an art gallery in San Francisco, but then she gets a call from Chloe and learns that the tornado she saw in her visions is real and it's about to destroy Arcadia Bay. Max manages to travel back in time and destroy her photo so she doesn't win the contest, but as a consequence Jefferson burns all her photos when she's taken to the Dark Room, which means all the time travel trickery she pulled is undone since the photos she used to do it no longer exist]].

[[caption-width-right:250:Boo-yah! Get it? Like a scary punk ghost?]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AshlyBurch (Season One), Rhianna [=DeVries=] ([[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]) (English), Creator/{{Lynn}} (Japanese)
Max's childhood friend. Max witnessing her being shot by Nathan Prescott starts the plot and leads into their eventual reunion. Chloe has been searching for her missing friend Rachel Amber ever since Rachel's disappearance a few months ago, and she ropes Max into helping her look.
Chloe is also the protagonist of the prequel, ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]''.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Not an extent like Max's adorable dorkiness, but her [[IncrediblyLamePun incredibly lame puns]] she makes does cause her this. Even in ''Before The Storm'', her interactions with Rachel are endearing and adorably dorky.
* AlternateSelf: In Episode 4, Max majorly messing around with time creates an alternate universe. [[spoiler:There, William Price is still alive, but Chloe was crippled in a car accident and is slowly dying. Alt. Chloe ultimately asks Max to put her out of her misery.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Chloe shows symptoms typically associated with Borderline Personality Disorder, as characterized by her trust and abandonment issues. In one [[https://youtu.be/76D2D05pqj4 audio track]], Chloe is shown having a meltdown and expressing typical fears of someone who has BPD. Max can find Fluoxetine medication - used to treat several mental symptoms including depression and anxiety - in Chloe's house. She also self-medicates with weed, which isn't wholly uncommon among anxiety sufferers.
* AnimalMotif: A blue butterfly for her. The butterfly in the bathroom has the same shade of blue on its wings as Chloe's hair, and it's after spotting it that Max discovers her powers. [[spoiler:In Episode 4's alternate timeline, there's also a butterfly painting in what used to be Chloe's room]]. Alternatively, Chloe's spirit animal could be a bird, specifically a scrub jay - they constantly show up in her house, and Max constantly has to save them or help them find their way. Under this interpretation, the butterfly would be Max's spirit animal, because of the [[ButterflyEffect sheer impact]] her actions end up having on others. [[spoiler:In the Sacrifice Chloe ending, a blue butterfly briefly lands on Chloe's coffin during her funeral, giving Max a reason to slightly smile.]]
** In ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]'', she seems to have a crow motif.
* {{Antihero}}: Chloe is the hero of ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]'', but the story will feature how she fell into her bad habits and she associates herself with some gang thugs. Since one of her special abilities is also "Backtalk", this implies that her sharp tongue will be one of her skills to get her way.
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:By virtue of not dying on Monday afternoon, has become this. It is implied that her and Max both figured this out separately, [[HeroicSacrifice and Chloe requests that Max undoes the timeline to prevent the tornado]]]].
* AssholeVictim: In her first scene, Chloe seems to be this, ending up getting shot by Nathan as she tries to extort money from him. It goes even further when Max asks about her relationship with Nathan -- it turns out Chloe went to a party thinking she could get some money out of him while he was wasted, [[spoiler:but he drugged her and may have been planning to rape her]].
* TheAtoner: In Episode 5, [[spoiler:she states that she doesn't deserve to live as much as her mom and step-father do, so she asks Max to go back in time and let Nathan kill her]].
* BadassAdorable: More like TookALevelInBadass or if not an extent like Max, but there is no doubt that she is absolutely beautiful and {{Adorkable}}.
* BadassNormal: Chloe has to rely on her smart mouth to overcome her obstacles since she doesn't have a TimeMaster buddy yet. Sometimes it backfires and makes things worse.
* BadBadActing: Chloe's acting during ''Theatre/TheTempest'' in the prequel is somehow both wooden and [[ChewingTheScenery overly hammy]], since she has no real acting experience and is only doing it for Rachel. However, if you get all the lines and directions correct, Rachel will be able to carry the scene, and Mr. Keaton will be awed (even if you [[GameplayAndStorySegregation spent several minutes walking around the stage before moving to your cue]]). She does slightly better when Rachel veers off-script, since there's obvious subtext that Chloe picks up on.
* BeingGoodSucks: [[spoiler: She ultimately chooses to do the right thing at the end of the game. Unfortunately for her, that means she doesn't get to live to see the results.]]
* BerserkButton:
** Don't talk shit about Rachel in her presence. Or imply that she wasn't Rachel's sole romantic interest.
** A far more minor and humorous one: emojis. Every time Max uses one in an SMS during the first half of the game, Chloe will call her on it. Later episodes see her refrain from nagging increasingly often until she eventually [[CharacterDevelopment starts using them herself]].
* BiTheWay: She admits to going through a "boy toy" phase and you can find condoms in her wallet. She later admits that she was so glad that Rachel came along to rescue from it. Her relationship with Rachel, whom she admits that she loved. During Episodes 2 and 3, she flirts with Max and even dares her to kiss her, which Max can reciprocate, depending on player choice. Earlier at the pool during episode 3 in fact, she'll even say "Ooh la la!" if Max chooses to use the girls locker room. Other things that make her sexuality ambiguous include the posters in her room, one of which is of nothing but a woman's breasts. In Episode 4, she says Max is her date to the Vortex Club Party to Mr. Jefferson and asks if he would like to dance with them. She later jokes to Max that Jefferson is "hot for a teacher". Chloe [[spoiler:and her alternate self]] both ask Max if she's dating or dated anyone. Real Chloe will tell Max that "no one is good enough for you, except me", and [[spoiler:alternate Chloe]] will urge her to have fun while she can, with boys as well as girls after a nervous addition. Her flirting continues into Episode 4, where if she was kissed in Episode 3 her texts will be slightly flirtier in tone. She also texts Warren telling him that he's "out of the loop", which Warren explains means more-or-less "back off, bro". Her flirting is later overshadowed by [[spoiler:the discovery of the Dark Room and Rachel's death, as well as her fatal confrontation with Jefferson.]]. In Episode 5, [[spoiler:if Max agrees to sacrifice her to save Arcadia Bay, the two of them can share a BigDamnKiss.]]
* BigDamnKiss:
** [[spoiler:If Max sacrifices Chloe to save Arcadia Bay, the two of them share a passionate kiss if Max/the player chooses to kiss her in Episode 3 and supported her throughout the playthrough (see RelationshipValues). If not, they just give each other a heartfelt, emotional hug.]]
** Chloe and Rachel can end up having one towards the end of Episode 2 in the prequel.
* TheBigGirl: She gets more physically involved in fights than Max.
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: Receives one from Mr. Jefferson, of all people, in the end of Episode 4.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The brawn to Max's brain, [[spoiler: though reading the student files in Episodes 3 and 4 reveals that she at least has the potential to be a vastly better student, if not explicitly smarter.]] But, the "beauty" part can be qualified for herself and Max, due to their attractive appearances.
** ''Before the Storm'' shows that without Max, Chloe can competently act as both the brain and the brawn.
* BreakTheCutie:
** Chloe is shown to be considerably nicer than her current self back when she was 14, as we learn during [[spoiler: Max's multi-year jump backwards]] near the end of Episode 3. [[spoiler:Preventing the death of her father appears to have solved every problem in Chloe's life, making her a happier and kinder person... then Max learns that Chloe has been paralyzed and left wheelchair bound in an off-screen accident in this alternate timeline.]]
** Though some of Chloe's current situation is self inflicted (she's not exactly the nicest person to get along with), she's had a pretty bad time of it. Her father dies in a car accident (which she takes personally in her worst times), her best friend leaves and never bothers to contact her (and doesn't even try when she gets back into town), her mother remarries to someone she absolutely detests (and who may even physically abuse her), and she finally fills that void Max left in her life with Rachel... only to have Rachel vanish without a trace. [[spoiler:In Episode 3, we find out that Rachel was lying (to Chloe's face!) about her lack of a relationship with Frank, with the implication from letters that she explicitly planned on leaving Arcadia Bay with Frank rather than Chloe. In Episode 4, Frank can even mention that Rachel outright ''blamed'' Chloe for her and Frank's occasional relationship troubles.]] She's been abandoned and/or betrayed by nearly every significant person in her life, maliciously or not. Despite knowing of Rachel's relationship with Frank, Chloe is still devastated when [[spoiler:she and Max discover Rachel's corpse.]]
* BoyishShortHair: After her father died, she became a {{Tomboy}}, cut her hair short, and [[DelinquentHair dyed it blue.]]
* BrilliantButLazy: Throughout Episodes 1-3, it is mentioned several times that Chloe's rage against everything in general and RebelWithoutACause attitude is causing her to squander her talents. Even her student file, which shows an abysmal performance, comments that she could do better if only she cared more about schoolwork and less about raving and getting high. [[spoiler: Seems to be confirmed by Episode 4, as the Chloe of the alternate timeline has a perfect 4.0 GPA and is considered a "student leader despite her significant difficulties". Of course, when you're paralyzed from the neck down, there might not be much more to do than study...]] In ''Before the Storm'', she has trophies and ribbons for various science fairs and a poster by her bed with the periodic table of elements, implying a previous passion for chemistry. Of course, examining the awards causes her to wonder if she peaked in middle school. She also appears to be knowledgeable in car repair.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: With Max, who is small and slight while Chloe is [[OneHeadTaller tall and lanky]].
* ButterflyOfDoom:
** Is a victim of this big time in Episode 3. [[spoiler:Max saving the life of Chloe's father had created a new future where Chloe ends up wheelchair bound, paralyzed, and fixed with a tracheotomy in her neck.]]
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:Chloe realizes that the ultimate cause of the tornado was Max traveling back in time to save her from Nathan]].
* CatchPhrase: "Hella", to the point of becoming a MemeticMutation in no time. "[[{{Portmanteau}} Chillax]]" ('''chill''' + rel'''ax''') ranks a close second. [[spoiler: Turns out she got it from Rachel.]]
* ChildhoodFriends: Max and Chloe were [=BFFs=] before Max moved. Their reunion is a trying time for both of them, as they both adjust to who the other has become in the mutual absence.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler: What they can end up being, depending on the choices made.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: She shames Max for even daring to take a phone call from Kate. Whether her jealousy is platonic or romantic is unclear, although her (potential) kiss with Max implies the latter. She develops out of this as the game progresses, apologizing to Max if she ignored Chloe and answered the call.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: She is mostly associated with blue. Specifically her blue-dyed hair, her light-blue eyes, the butterfly, [[spoiler:and the breathing device that is attached to her neck in the alternate timeline]].
* CosmicPlaything: Absolutely nothing goes right for poor Chloe. Her father died, her mother remarried to a paranoid, emotionally abusive stepdad, her best friend moved away, her next best friend disappeared [[spoiler:and got killed]]. She's in debt to a scary drug dealer and over the course of the game, she is nearly killed by Nathan, [[spoiler:is rendered a quadriplegic in an alternate timeline created by Max which is then undone]], and [[spoiler:shot in the head, which Max can't rewind because she's been drugged]]. Oh, and the universe is actively trying to kill her.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her blue-dyed hair and blue eyes, [[spoiler:but this is averted in Max's alternate timeline in Episodes 3 and 4. Especially in ''Before The Storm''.]]
* TheCutie: She was already very beautiful and at times has cute quirky moments, but as shown [[spoiler: in Max's alternate timeline in Episodes 3 and 4, she was ''ridiculously'' joyful and upbeat in her pre-teen years.]]
* DaddysGirl: She's shown to have been very close with her biological father; her life took a ''severe'' turn for the worse after he died, and as far as she's concerned, David will never measure up to him, no matter what.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: One of Chloe's journal entries mentions doing this to Deckard from ''Film/BladeRunner'', only for her to start thinking of Pris at the end.
* DeadpanSnarker: She is definitely this whenever she's on her mean phase.
** Her snark is a game mechanic in ''Before the Storm'', dubbed as "Backtalk."
* DeathByGenreSavviness: [[spoiler: She eventually realizes in the final episode that she was linked to the tornado and asks Max to allow her to die in order to prevent the town's destruction from ever happening. Of course, you choose as to whether she dies or not.]]
* DelinquentHair: She's had a couple of run-ins with the law, gotten expelled from Blackwell, smokes pot, and has desecrated a flag to match. The blue hair suits her.
* {{Determinator}}: Nothing is going to stand in her path while finding Rachel and her abductors.
* DeusAngstMachina: [[spoiler: Episodes 3-5 just pile on the hurt for Chloe. She ends up as a suicidal quadriplegic in an alternate timeline created by Max saving the life of her father, discovers Rachel's body and gets killed trying to avenge her murder, and then after being resurrected through some timey-wimey shenanigans, realizes that the cause of the approaching storm is the simple fact that she's alive when she was fated to be killed in the bathroom in the very first episode, meaning that if Max wants to save Arcadia Bay, she has no choice but to go back and let Chloe die a lonely, senseless death.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: To an extent to Max's [[TheProtagonist Protagonist]] in the original. While Max is the viewpoint character and her powers are instrumental to the plot, Chloe is intimately connected to the central mystery, and many of Max's actions are driven by her desire to protect Chloe and make her happy.
* DistressedDamsel: She gets in trouble and has to be saved by Max on several occasions:
** In Episode 1, Chloe is accidentally shot by Nathan. Max saves her by rewinding and setting off the fire alarm.
** In Episode 2, Chloe get her foot stuck in train tracks. Max comes to her rescue, freeing her before a train runs her over. During their shooting practice in the junkyard, Chloe can also get hit by a bullet that ricochets, which Max undoes by rewinding.
** In Episode 4, [[spoiler:Chloe is shot by Mr. Jefferson. Max spends most of Episode 5 trying to correct it]].
* DoesNotLikeMen: Or at least she very clearly prefers the company of girls. If she reveals to Max that she has David's missing gun, she will say that it's men who need to be controlled, and that women should have the guns.
** When playing ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' in ''Before the Storm'', she takes a [[CatharsisFactor savage glee]] in punching [=NPCs=] "[[GroinAttack right in the dick.]]"
* DontExplainTheJoke: She'll frequently ask Max if she understood her incredibly lame puns.
* DoomMagnet: Max's powers kick in when Chloe is shot. The world seems pretty set on finishing the job. [[spoiler:The universe is actually trying to kill her in retaination for Max using time travel to save her from Nathan.]]
* EvilVersusEvil: Chloe's opinion of the fight between [[JerkJock Drew]] and [[SpoiledBrat Nathan]] in the prequel. She can still intercede on Nathan's side if the player chooses, since JerkAss though he is, [[ChronicHeroSyndrome he's the one being bullied right now.]]
* {{Expy}}: She has an uncanny resemblance to [[LipstickLesbian Emma]] from ''ComicBook/BlueIsTheWarmestColor''.
* FlippingTheBird: If the player chose to reveal Max herself and takes the blame for Chloe's weed, Chloe will give David, her stepfather, a double bird-flip once he leaves her room.
* {{Foil}}: Max acknowledges that Chloe is everything she is not.
* GenkiGirl: Her happy and energetic side is what makes her at her best.
* GenreSavvy: She becomes aware of all the in-plot possibilities of Max's power pretty quickly, often joking about her rewinding something that just happened to turn it to her favor.
* GoodIsNotNice: Chloe is a decent but selfish person with an [[HiddenHeartOfGold ultimately kind heart]], and she's not above morally questionable actions if it suits her -- stealing guns from her step-father, attempted blackmail, taking money she finds in a desk drawer, etc.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She was this [[spoiler:both before William died and in Max's alternate timeline.]]
* TheHedonist: She's very pleasure-driven and prefers to goof off whenever possible.
* HeroicBSOD: Herself and Max both suffer from this in Episode 4. [[spoiler: When it's revealed that Rachel, Chloe's one best friend since Max left, has been DeadAllAlong. She breaks down crying]].
** She can also suffer this earlier, if she kills Frank. She is unable to do anything until Max encourages her.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:After Max explains that her time manipulation caused the tornado, Chloe asks Max to use the butterfly photo to travel back in time to the first episode and allow Nathan to kill her, preventing Max's time powers from manifesting. Max can choose to go along with this.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** Enjoys reading "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", enough that it is one of the few times she does homework.
** There's evidence in ''Before the Storm'' that she had a passion for chemistry before her father died. Admitting her love of science to Rachel is one of the truthful options in their game of "Two Truths and a Lie".
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Two of Chloe's associates are Frank and Nathan, who are an AxCrazy drug dealer and an AxCrazy drug addict, respectively. At least she's aware they're terrible people, she just isn't able to exploit them quite as well as she thought.
** [[spoiler: She also hits it off while she was teasing Max about Mr. Jefferson to fluster her, Guess who was behind the drugging and kidnapping of Rachel and Kate, and many other young women?]]
* HotForTeacher: Said by Chloe in Episode 4 while she was joking Max about Mr. Jefferson to fluster her.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: ''Twice'', if you can believe it. [[spoiler: Once in an alternative timeline where she's slowly dying and bankrupting her parents, and she asks Max to give her a morphine overdose. Once at the end of the game where she realizes that her not having died when she was supposed to is breaking reality enough to cause the tornado, and she asks Max to go back in time and prevent her from surviving. Max can refuse both times.]]
* IcyBlueEyes: Due to her rebellious nature, [[spoiler:although this averted in the alternate timeline in Episodes 3 and 4.]]
* IdiotHero: Zig-zagged--she's intelligent, but tends to behave in stupid, impulsive ways due to her own emotional problems, and thus mainly ends up serving as Max's muscle.
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: In Episode 2, Chloe will hit herself with a ricochet if Max suggests shooting the bumper of a car in the junkyard. Thankfully, rewind is there to save the day.
* IKnowMortalKombat: After you find out that she stole her step-father's gun, you can ask Chloe if she knows how to use it. She will respond that she knows how after watching gun videos.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:In Episode 1, Chloe parks her truck across two disability parking spaces. In Episode 3, she wants to steal money from the school's disability fund. In the alternate timeline Max creates at the end of the episode, she's a quadriplegic, and the principal is encouraging her parents to send her to another school because Blackwell doesn't have the money to accommodate her disability.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: If Max doesn't hide in time when David comes into her room, Chloe will pin the blame of the joint on Max, apparently under the impression that Max just won't face repercussions for this. In Episode 2, she will act resentful if Max takes Kate's call instead of focusing her attention solely on Chloe. She's called out on this trope in Episode 3 and fully admits to it, and Episode 4 shows her [[CharacterDevelopment slowly moving away from this]], including apologizing for giving Max shit about Kate's call. In Episode 5, she admits to being a selfish person, and completely averts this as she asks Max to [[spoiler:save Arcadia Bay from the oncoming storm by travelling back in time to before her powers manifested and letting Nathan kill her]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Outside she's selfish and constantly blames everyone for no reason whatsoever. But in the inside, she's a real sweetie with a ultimately kind heart.
* KickTheDog:
** Chloe blaming Max for her joint, despite the fact that this might get Max kicked out of Blackwell if she is caught. She'll only do it if Max/the player fails to hide.
** Trying to steal money from the Blackwell Handicap Fund. Max gives her a WhatTheHellHero moment for it. [[spoiler:Turns out it actually is a handicap access fund, which Max discovers in Episode 4.]]
* KillTheCutie: Three times. Averted when Max saved her from getting shot by Nathan in the beginning of episode 1, [[spoiler: by Jefferson at the end of Episode 4, and if you choose to sacrifice her at the end of Episode 5, it's inverted.]]
* LadySwearsALot: The most foul-mouthed person in the game. [[spoiler:Her alternate self also swears but not to the extent of this trope.]]
* TheLancer: To Max's more grounded personality. She's also the {{Deuteragonist}} by extension. Max notes in her journal that being around Chloe makes her feel giddy and rebellious.
* LaserGuidedKarma: She parks in the handicapped driving space in Episode One and attempts to steal from Blackwell's handicap fund in Episode 3. [[spoiler:After Max creates a new timeline by saving William's life, Chloe becomes handicapped herself]].
* LittleMissBadass: Somewhat shared with Max and due to her {{Tomboy}} phase.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: She plays this role a little bit for Max, who is shy and introverted by default. Max often notes that being around Chloe makes her want to do daring things she wouldn't normally see herself doing.
** Strangely enough, she seems to think of Max as having done something similar for her; she starts the game in a depressed and angry state before their rekindled friendship brings out her playful, happy side. With Max's help, she's finally able to confront the people who have wronged her (such as David and Frank), and find out the truth about Rachel. In the end, she readily admits that being with Max has made her happier than she has been in years.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: She is ultimately the price Max has to pay to save Arcadia Bay.]]
* MsFanservice: She is young and quite beautiful, but she receives a lot of MaleGaze scenes in the original.
** Her crowning moment appears in Episode 3 during the scene at the pool. Granted, it's a great character scene, but her and Max [[PantyShot strip down to their bras and panties to go swimming]] with a FanserviceFauxFight.
** Episode 5 has her stripping down to her underwear in front of Max, but this is an aversion - [[spoiler:it's while Max is trapped in the Dark Room in the middle of her nightmare.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction if [[spoiler:she kills Frank. She's devastated, openly questioning if she did the right thing, and Max's reassurances that it was self-defense.]]
* NeverMyFault: Chloe blames her problems on anyone she can except herself. She acknowledges as much in Episode 3, even though she's not willing to accept it. This is evident in the relationship between Chloe and Max. Chloe calls out Max for "abandoning" her and not making any effort to contact her, though Chloe herself tried to; while a justifiable complaint, Chloe remains bitter about this even after Max begins doing all she can to help her and doesn't begin to show real gratitude until Episode 2. In Episode 4, [[spoiler:the alternate version of Max is shown to have made some effort to stay in contact, sending letters, postcards and photographs to Chloe, but Max is still convicted for not visiting more often or making sure that Chloe didn't feel isolated or lonely. Even when the real Max assumes control of the alternate Max, Chloe still calls her out on avoiding her.]] It seems to be part of Chloe's identity to be the 'forgotten', and regardless of the choices the player makes, they will find themselves scolded for their lack of involvement in her life. However, the truth is, that while the things that happened to her are awful and tragic, it doesn't excuse her behavior and those things did not force her to take the paths she took and she alone is at fault for her choices.
* NightmareSequence: Several in the prequel.
** When David is giving her a ride to school in Episode 1, the still-exhausted Chloe falls asleep and has a dream about William driving around. Several things indicate this isn't a memory, though: Joyce's purse is sitting on the backseat next to Chloe (and it's full of condoms), and David's socket wrench is in the passenger seat pouch. Turns out it's Chloe's imagining of William's death, and she wakes up just as his car is hit by the semi-truck.
** A second, much more nightmarish sequence happens later, when Chloe falls asleep in the junkyard. This time the journal shows drawing of Max hanged from a tree, creepy texts from Max in Chloe's phone, and it ends with an image of Rachel bursting in flames.
** Episode 2 continues the trend, only this time William is roasting marshmallows in the inferno of his car. While he remains silent at first, he eventually delivers words to wisdom to Chloe. He turns his face towards Chloe to reveal that one side has been completely burned off.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Definitely not stupid, but her default "fuck the world" attitude and preoccupation with hedonistic activities like smoking make it a bit of a surprise when she shows her more knowledgeable side. She knows about several ideas and concepts such as ChaosTheory that Max doesn't know, and in Episode 3 Max finds a book about time travel on her desk, realizing that she was also throwing her back into getting to the bottom of her power. [[spoiler:Alternate Chloe was a straight A student before her accident, so she can excel when she puts her mind to it.]]
* OddFriendship: Her friendship with Max in a nutshell.
* PromotedToPlayable: In the first game, Chloe was only Max's ally, but in the prequel, she's the character you get to play as.
* {{Protagonist}}: Of the prequel, ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm Before the Storm]]''.
* PungeonMaster: Makes [[IncrediblyLamePun incredibly lame]] word play with increasing frequency as she hangs out more with Max.
* PuppyDogEyes: Shared with Max when they asked Frank to help them in their investigation of Rachel's disappearance.
* RebelliousSpirit: Often talks about how she wants to trash Arcadia Bay and everyone in it. Eventually, though, she tells Max she only says that stuff because she's angry.
* TheResenter:
** Towards the rest of her family, especially David, although she has a better relationship with Joyce. In Episode 3, she admits that [[spoiler: she partially feels Joyce abandoned her for David and that she even blames William for his own death, even though she rationally knows it isn't his fault]].
** Has varying degrees of this with pretty much ''everyone'' in Arcadia Bay. She's peeved at Max initially for not making effort to contact her, and later is furious that Rachel had been with Frank and explicitly lied to her about it. She pretty much sees everyone in her life as wanting to hurt or abandon her.
* RedOniBlueOni: Hot-headed and antagonistic red to Max's blue.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:She goes on one against Nathan once she finds Rachel's body. Unfortunately, Jefferson kills her before she can avenge Rachel.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: Implied to have been essentially this to Rachel Amber.
* RunningGag: Her overuse of the word "hella"[[note]]This word was already used way before the game was made, but not to an extent like Chloe uses it[[/note]]. It quickly picked up as a [[MemeticMutation meme]] among fans, so it soon became [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and established as a sort of CatchPhrase for her in later episodes. When Max finds herself saying it in Episode 3, Chloe remarks that she's rubbed off on her. Then when Max says it in [[spoiler: the alternate timeline]] in episode 4, [[spoiler: alternate Chloe]] will remark that she hates the word.
* SecretKeeper: Max reveals her rewind power to Chloe at the end of Episode 1.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: While she was cute as a child, she is absolutely beautiful as a teenager. Max noticed...
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler: How her story ends in the timeline created in the "Save Arcadia Bay" ending. After a life full of pain, Nathan fatally shoots her by accident and she dies for nothing, completely unaware that her former best friend is sobbing a few feet away.]]
* StatuesqueStunner: She's OneHeadTaller than Max, who frequently notes how well she's turned out.
* TheStoner: She really loves her weed, although she's not a total pothead like her friend Justin.
* TattooedCrook: A heroic (sort of) example. Her right arm is filled with tattoos, and she's a familiar face at the local police station for all the wrong reasons ([[DownplayedTrope though mostly only petty vandalism and drug possession]]).
* TheTease: She likes to playfully flirt with Max and purposely make her feel uncomfortable by propositioning her. [[spoiler: This comes back against her if the player takes her up on her request to kiss her.]]
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: She dies on very frequent basis, but thanks to Max's time travel abilities she keeps coming back.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: She dies right next to the spot where Rachel is buried.]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Max's girly-girl.
* TooDumbToLive: Tends to show this ''a lot'' throughout the game (at least once per episode) and if it were not for Max and her powers, she would have stayed dead in the first timeline. For example: What the the hell were Max and Chloe thinking when they decided to have a lie down on ''train tracks?!''
%%* TookALevelInBadass
* TookALevelInJerkass: In Episode 2, when she tries to guilt-trip Max into going along with her ideas. Max ends up getting a PsychicNosebleed a couple times from overtaxing her powers, and she actively disparages Max for considering [[spoiler:taking a call from the depressed Kate]].
* TookALevelInKindness: Starts showing signs of maturing and accepting responsibilities for her actions in Episode 4, depending on the choices the player makes, such as [[spoiler: apologizing to Max for being selfish when Kate called her in the diner in Episode 2 should she survive the suicide attempt.]]
** In Episode 5, this increases ten fold, when you first [[spoiler:rewind back she still gives Max a ton of attitude for trying to stop her going to the party and taking revenge on Nathan or Jefferson despite Max being visibly upset/shaken, and even seems to accuse Max, implying that whatever happened was her fault, at first, but when she realizes just what happened to Max as a result of her actions and what she had to go through to get back to warn her she back-pedals hard and seems to feel both concerned for Max and guilty. It's to the extent she does not even blow up at Max if you tell her about the alternate timeline, and even gently coaxes Max into telling her in one dialogue option. Chloe becomes a lot more caring and sympathetic towards Max in general after that.]]
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Most of her interactions with Max ends up with Chloe getting Max into trouble, both intentionally and unintentionally. Joyce hopes that Max will be a good influence on her, but the player can certainly make it go the other way around with their decisions.
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:After her and Max discover Rachel's buried body, her personality goes from "sarcastic and {{Adorkable}}" to a "''really'' freaking angry person about to avenge her friend's murder." Sadly, it didn't go so well for both herself and Max.]]
* TroubledButCute: Complete with leather jacket and extreme moodiness, Chloe is a textbook example, gender notwithstanding. She was kicked out of school, spends most of her time drinking and smoking in a junkyard, and makes terrible life choices every single day. She'll still win you over with her beautiful looks, sharp grin, HiddenHeartOfGold, and truly awful past.
* TrueCompanions: She views Max as her only best friend left.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: One good reason why we see Chloe now as a selfish-hotheaded rebel is because of her father, William who suddenly died in the car accident when Max and Chloe were in their childhood five years ago which somehow severely traumatized Chloe, transforming her from a naive kind girl to an irrational bitter teenager. Max on the other hand decided to avert [[spoiler: William's death giving Chloe her opportunity to be happy but at a cost of being bound to the wheelchair permanently in the new timeline that Max sadly has to undo it to return to the original timeline but not before reassuring Chloe she will be there for her no matter what circumstances happen to them.]]
* VerbalTic: "Hella". Lampshaded when Max [[GotMeDoingIt offhandedly uses the word]] and Chloe jokes that she's rubbing off on her. Ironically, [[spoiler:Alternate Chloe hates the word and complains about Max using it]].
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Despite having IcyBlueEyes, they're rather dazzling to look at.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** After she saves Max from Nathan and shared some witty banter, she will call Max out on never contacting her after she moved away, and still not contacting her after she moved back.
** In Episode 2, she will [[spoiler:harass Max about letting her step-father's gun be taken right from her hands, should you not choose to shoot. She lets it go pretty fast, though, and comments immediately after the fact she's kind of glad it happened]].
** In Episode 3, she rounds on Max if you choose to [[spoiler:side with David when she and David argue at the Price house]].
