Character Name: Chloe Jane Decker
Series: Lucifer
Timeline: 2x13 "A Good Day to Die"
Canon Resource Link: Chloe @ the Lucifer Wiki
Character History:
Once upon a time, mortals Penelope and John Decker wanted nothing more than to have a child of their own. Unable to conceive, God sent the angel Amenadiel to bless Penelope with a child. Thus started the bizarre and not entirely blessed life of Chloe Jane Decker.
John Decker was a detective with the LAPD, and Penelope was a B-movie actress. While we have yet to get many specifics of Chloe's teenage life, we do know that she, while trying to figure out her place in the world, decided to dip her toes into the acting pool. She started her career with a topless scene in the low-budget cult movie Hot Tub High School. Her first role would prove to be her last, as just a week before the movie premiered, her father was murdered during a robbery. The killer was eventually sent to jail and Chloe tossed away her acting desires to instead pursue a career as a police officer, following in the footsteps of her father and hoping to put her efforts into a career that would mean something to the greater good.
While working in the LAPD, she met fellow officer Dan Espinoza. They married and had a baby, Beatrice, who Chloe claims was "planned. Sort of." Regardless of any intention to get pregnant, Chloe has an unbreakable bond with Trixie, sharing with her a very honest and loving relationship. No matter what kind of case she has going on, she always tries to get home in time to read Trixie a bedtime story, and they have breakfast together as often as possible. Sadly, her marriage with Dan started to falter, largely due to the fact that he often was more enthralled in his work than he was interested in spending time with his wife and daughter. They agreed to a trial separation, but that was only the beginning of Chloe's difficulties in her work and home environment.
A case referred to as Palmetto Street haunted Chloe. Chloe became suspicious of a colleague, Detective Malcolm Graham. She followed him, believing she was catching him meeting with a criminal, and a shoot-out occurred. Detective Graham ended up in a coma with little hope of survival, and Chloe came forward with her beliefs of his corruption. Instead of being able to investigate, she was shunned by her fellow police officers for turning against one of their own. She was left in the ruins of her crumbling marriage and was exiled at work.
It was at that time that Chloe was assigned to the case of a murdered pop star, and met Lucifer Morningstar. At first, all Lucifer seemed to be was a hindrance to the case she was investigating and worse, a self-obsessed, narcissistic man who honestly believed he was not only immortal but the Devil himself. While Chloe found herself impressed by his ability to persuade people into sharing their deepest desires, his attempts had no effect on her, and she wasn't sure what to make of him. But when Lucifer saved her life after she was shot she couldn't deny there was a kindred spirit between them and found not only an affection for him but the makings of a good investigator. She agreed to take him on as a consultant, especially since no one else in the department would work with her.
At first, part of Chloe's fascination with Lucifer came from his mystery. She watched him get shot several times, but he was never hurt. He had these strange abilities of temptation, but they didn't work on her. And strange things would happen when he was around, like how he seemed to drive certain criminals insane with a look, could make women and men swoon with just a gaze, and how he could seemingly disappear and reappear in different places. Chloe decided to follow her gut and investigate who - or what - Lucifer actually was. But the more they worked together, and the more she got to know him, she started to trust him.
She and Lucifer continued to work together, growing closer and solving murders. She learned to accept his strange comments about God and Hell in stride, never really committing to believing him but never calling him a lair. The best we can see is that Chloe, if nothing else, doesn't think Lucifer is lying to her, although she seems to think that he might be lying to himself, or at the best, speaking in metaphors. She still hasn't gotten to the point that she is really pushing him for answers, instead of happy to rely on the friendship they have now as opposed to putting too much weight on who - or what - he was in the past. Lucifer, however, had been suspicious of Chloe. He discovered he becomes mortal around her when he insisted shoot him to prove he was telling the truth. In the heat of the moment, she shot him in the leg, injuring him, which only went to prove to her that he wasn't immortal at all. Once he realized he became mortal in her presence he confronted her, asking if she was an angel sent to bring him back to Hell. She allows him to question her, going so far as to show him her back so he could see the absence of wings. Through this, she continually assured him that she is on his side and is nothing but his friend.
When Dan sent her a text message telling her that their relationship was over for good, Chloe got drunk and went to Lucifer in an attempt to seduce him. He turned her down, surprising, and let her sleep it off in her loft, although the encounter made her realize how much she trusts and how much he respects her. Even though their relationship did not turn romantic, she knows he brings out something vulnerable and genuine in her, and she finds peace in her friendship with him.
It wasn't long before the events of Palmetto Street reared their ugly head when the previously brain dead Detective Graham made a miraculous recovery, thanks to a deal with Amenadiel in exchange for killing Lucifer. Chloe didn't know anything about that, of course, but she was still convinced Graham was crooked. She tried to save face with her workmates by taking back her accusations but to her relief, Lucifer and Dan both stood by her, helping her continue her investigation behind closed doors. When Graham decided not to kill Lucifer and instead became obsessed with him, he committed murders in Lucifer's name and then attempted to pin the murders on Lucifer. Although Lucifer was caught seemingly red-handed with one of Graham's victims and escaped with Amenadiel's help, Chloe insisted that Lucifer was innocent, her faith in him never wavering. Dan eventually told her that he knew Lucifer wasn't guilty of the murders. Dan confessed to her the truth - he was the one who shot Graham, because Graham was about to murder Chloe when she stumbled onto his clandestine meeting. Chloe was livid that he deceived her and then didn't stand by her side, letting everyone she worked with think she was insane.
Graham's obsession with Lucifer reached a head when he abducted Trixie and held her hostage so he could finally finish what he started with Chloe. Lucifer followed her to the meeting, and Chloe watched as Graham shot Lucifer. She hides from him, never knowing that Lucifer made a deal with God to do his bidding if He protected Chloe. For that promise, God heals him and Lucifer distracts Graham so that Chloe can shoot him. Graham died, returning to Hell, this time for good.
Chloe became obsessed with how Lucifer was shot and managed to walk away. Eventually, Amenadiel became sick of Lucifer telling Chloe he was the Devil and, worried that Chloe would discover the truth, confronted Chloe and convinced her that Lucifer wore bulletproof vests and squibs to appear as if he had been shot. Chloe defended Lucifer, saying that she didn't think he was crazy, but it was clear she didn't know what to think. She had obtained a vial of his blood, intending to do tests on it and prove once and for all if Lucifer is telling the truth about being the Devil. She had a heart to heart with Ella, the department's M.E. and forensic specialist, who was also Catholic. Ella explained that faith isn't about knowing the true answer, but believing and putting trust in what you care about, and Chloe had a change of heart regarding digging into who Lucifer truly is. Ultimately she chose to throw the blood sample out, deciding to instead trust the positive change he had made in her life and her faith in him as a partner.
Once the truth about Palmetto Street was revealed, Dan lost his rank and it took months for Chloe to regain any amount of trust in her ex-husband. This was the final nail in the coffin for their marriage, and they eventually agreed to a divorce. Since Chloe needed to move into a new house, she needed a roommate and drunkenly agreed to have Lucifer's bartender, Maze, move in with her. Over time she and Maze developed a true friendship, and Maze even began to grow close to Trixie. Chloe's loneliness and isolation were replaced with friends such as Maze, Lucifer's therapist, Linda, and Ella. She found her tribe, so to speak, and it helped that she had a continual, if occasionally flighty ally in Lucifer. As she grew more comfortable with who she was becoming, she started to realize her feelings for Lucifer were more than just a friend or a partner.
When John Decker's killer, Joe Fields, was released on leave from prison, Chloe was enraged and followed him, only to be present at the scene right after he is suddenly murdered. Chloe discovered that the man who went away for her father's murder hadn't actually killed him, and she began to build the investigation up from the bottom, while Dan and Lucifer tried to find out who killed Fields. They eventually discovered that not only the same person killed both John Decker and the Fields, but paid Fields and another man to take the fall for both murders. Maze hunted down the real killer of Decker and Feilds, Perry Smith, and all seemed well.
When Perry finally went to trial, though, the prosecution's key witness was murdered, putting the trial in jeopardy. A woman who Chloe believed was an old friend or lover of Lucifer's, Charlotte, took the job as Perry's defense attorney. Unbeknownst to Chloe, Charlotte was actually Lucifer's mother and had a personal vendetta to drive Chloe and Lucifer apart, thinking it is the only way to get Lucifer to return to Hell. Dan lied in his police report about Chloe being the first at the scene of Field's death, and Lucifer told the truth at the trial, casting doubt on Chloe's credibility and the case itself. Charlotte gave Chloe a choice - tell the truth, and risk letting her father's killer go free. Or call Lucifer a liar and win the case.
Chloe didn't hesitate when she made her choice. On the stand, she told the court that Lucifer didn't lie and that he was the best partner she had ever had. It was the first time Chloe allowed herself to speak the real feelings she had for Lucifer. While her relationship with Lucifer remained stronger than ever, her testimony was enough to shift the trial into Perry's favor. He went free but was murdered the next day. Justice was served somehow, although Chloe didn't see it that way. She didn't know that Maze and Dan orchestrated Perry's murder, but even in this case, Chloe's morality won over her emotions. She didn't feel that two wrongs made a right.
After a series of Lucifer's old lovers were brutally murdered, Chloe started to question her feelings for Lucifer. They went back and forth, Chloe convinced that Lucifer couldn't be anything but a playboy. Lucifer was forced to face some truths about himself and after speaking to Chloe honestly about his feelings for her and how he would never deserve her, she gave in and kissed him. They decided to take their relationship slow, and Chloe had high hopes that maybe, just maybe, things will work out for her this time.
Only days into exploring what could develop between them, Chloe contracted a virus engineered by a serial killer who killed himself in front of her, going to Hell and taking the recipe for the antidote with him. With no way to fight the virus, Chloe and Lucifer looked for answers until she was finally hospitalized, at the edge of death. Lucifer found the antidote by returning to Hell with the help of Maze, Charlotte, and Linda. Chloe had no idea what he had done, only that Lucifer somehow, once again, saved her life. It gave her hope for their future together.
Unfortunately, Lucifer had other plans. As all of that happened, he discovered from Charlotte the truth about Chloe's birth and that God had sent Chloe into his path. Enraged and feeling once again manipulated by his father, Lucifer left his home and the club he ran without warning. Once she was out of the hospital, Chloe went to meet him, eager to see him again and keep exploring their new relationship. Instead, she found his abandoned loft and no reason as to why he left.
Abilities/Special Powers:
Creates Vulnerability: Her presence around Lucifer negates his immortality, leaving him open to injury or death.
Immunity: She is immune to Lucifer's powers of desire exhibition and temptation inducement.
Combat: She is an expert in both marksmanship and self-defense combat due to her police training.
Third-Person Sample:
She hadn't even had time to process Lucifer's disappearance when she wound up in Wonderland. It was an avalanche of confusion barrelling around her shoulders, and Chloe found herself grasping for anything to hold onto, and it was an additional shock to her system to find Lucifer on the other side of the hand she reached out for.
It was three days before she caught her breath. Maybe it was by design; she had questioned Lucifer, talked to as many other people as she could, and explored the Mansion and the grounds for so long her feet hurt, anything to keep her mind off of how much she missed her home. The hours had already started to blend into each other and it was only a matter of time before Chloe exhausted her avenues and herself. Lucifer was being characteristically unhelpful, seeming unable to grasp her panic over the situation, and that resulted in her spending the majority of her time alone. That wasn't completely the fault of Lucifer. It came down to the fact that when Chloe looked at him, she didn't know what to say.
He didn't remember anything. Almost half a year of their time together was gone, and Chloe didn't believe he was lying. Lucifer, for all of his faults, never lied to her before. Why would he start now?
At the end of her third day, Chloe found herself back in the music room. She didn't really know why, but it was her favorite room in the mansion so far. It was usually quiet, and she could sit at the piano and think back to times that weren't so hard. Times she was happy, in fact. Even though she had taken a few years of piano, it didn't stick, but running her fingers over the ivory keys reminded her of how Lucifer's arms felt wrapped around her. Why had he left? And what kind of cosmic joke had taken away his memories so he couldn't even explain himself to her? Now he had no idea what had happened between them, no clue as to how she really felt about him, and maybe worse... She didn't know how he felt about her, either.
Chloe let out a long sigh and pushed herself away from the piano. This wasn't the kind of stuff she needed to be thinking about, especially when she was so far from home, especially because thinking about Trixie made her want to throw up. Keep it together, Decker, she thought, standing up and smoothing her hair from her face. Her priority was to find out whoever was behind this and get home to her daughter. As for Lucifer.. she wasn't going to say a word to him. He didn't need to know what had happened between them.
He was just going to leave her anyway. There was no point in letting him hurt her again.
First-Person Sample:
Hey. My name's Chloe.
[ Chloe really, really hates the network. Something about being the center of attention makes her skin crawl, and that's probably why acting would have never worked out for her. She wasn't like her mother, at least not like that. ]
I have a few questions. I'm a cop, with the LAPD. First of all, I wanted to see if there were any other law enforcement officers here. I'd like to compare some notes, maybe get an idea of what kind of information you've already gathered since arriving.
Second. [ She cleared her throat. ] I'd like to talk to anyone who's been here for a while. I know some of you have been here for a while and you might be able to shed some light on what's going on here and events that have happened in the past. Your help would be... really appreciated.
Third-Person Sample:
To say she was getting used to her time in Wonderland would be a lie, but it wasn't far from the truth, either. It was over a month now; a month of witnessing all of the strange things she had been warned about first hand, from witches to evil clones to werewolves to magic. For some, it may have served to be proof of all they had wanted to believe in or, for others, a continuation of the bizarre lives they left behind. But for Chloe, it was earth-shattering, a sudden break in reality where the floor had caved out from under her and she found herself in a free fall.
She felt a little like Alice, lost in this world where everyone was mad. The only difference was she didn't have that sense of child-like wonder to break the fall.
She often called to mind that conversation she'd had with Lucifer, not long after she first met him, when he asked her if she believed in God. Her answer was true to herself then - she believed in the laws of the universe, in good and evil, in a reality that was bound together by the sum of its parts. Her crisis of faith was not that of a worshipper blindly loyal to a God, only to find that belief challenged by the cold realities of life that went against everything their religion stood for. Instead, her crisis of faith was buried in the stark reality of being forced to endure that which had once been impossible, to conjure belief from a place that it had never existed before.
Trixie used to love when her mother read her Alice in Wonderland, and her little girl knew the book so well that her lips would move along with the words as Chloe read. So many of the passages stood out to her now and words that once had little meaning came to shed light on the realities she still couldn't quite grasp. I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
In the beginning, it was easy for Chloe to think about the time before Wonderland, before she had watched vampires heal with their blood, seen werewolves and wizards and Mirrors walk the halls of the mansion, before she conjured an angel's feather with a thought and watched it heal her best friend's mangled body. Life had been far easier when she didn't have to look the things she never believed in right in the eye. Life wasn't easy anymore, and she yearned even for the days that seemed so challenging with every break of her heart. In those days there was just good and evil, but she was strong enough to fight it all on her own.
Those days were yesterday now, and she was no longer that person. The only option now was to move on.
First-Person Sample:
After last month, I was definitely expecting something a little more... I don't know, traumatizing? Less Winter Break and more The Shining. Like, I'm not actually complaining, although if we were getting offered a vacation I'd take a beach over snow.
[ As it happens, Chloe doesn't exactly look devastated. At the moment, she is curled up in a plush chair in her current bedroom, a book in one hand and a steaming cup of hot chocolate on the table beside her. ]
I'm still not convinced I didn't just hit my head and am now hallucinating everything that is going on but that aside, I'm going to assume this isn't the kind of "event" people warned me about when I got here. Again, not complaining. And I really hope I didn't just jinx all of us.
[ Sorry, folks. ] But is this free vacation thing also something that happens a lot?

This wasn't the kind of stuff she needed to be thinking about, especially when she was so far from home, especially because thinking about Trixie made her want to throw up. Keep it together, Decker, she thought, standing up and smoothing her hair from her face. Her priority was to find out whoever was behind this and get home to her daughter. As for Lucifer.. she wasn't going to say a word to him. He didn't need to know what had happened between them.
He was just going to leave her anyway. There was no point in letting him hurt her again.
First-Person Sample:
Hey. My name's Chloe.
[ Chloe really, really hates the network. Something about being the center of attention makes her skin crawl, and that's probably why acting would have never worked out for her. She wasn't like her mother, at least not like that. ]
I have a few questions. I'm a cop, with the LAPD. First of all, I wanted to see if there were any other law enforcement officers here. I'd like to compare some notes, maybe get an idea of what kind of information you've already gathered since arriving.
Second. [ She cleared her throat. ] I'd like to talk to anyone who's been here for a while. I know some of you have been here for a while and you might be able to shed some light on what's going on here and events that have happened in the past. Your help would be... really appreciated.

To say she was getting used to her time in Wonderland would be a lie, but it wasn't far from the truth, either. It was over a month now; a month of witnessing all of the strange things she had been warned about first hand, from witches to evil clones to werewolves to magic. For some, it may have served to be proof of all they had wanted to believe in or, for others, a continuation of the bizarre lives they left behind. But for Chloe, it was earth-shattering, a sudden break in reality where the floor had caved out from under her and she found herself in a free fall.
She felt a little like Alice, lost in this world where everyone was mad. The only difference was she didn't have that sense of child-like wonder to break the fall.
She often called to mind that conversation she'd had with Lucifer, not long after she first met him, when he asked her if she believed in God. Her answer was true to herself then - she believed in the laws of the universe, in good and evil, in a reality that was bound together by the sum of its parts. Her crisis of faith was not that of a worshipper blindly loyal to a God, only to find that belief challenged by the cold realities of life that went against everything their religion stood for. Instead, her crisis of faith was buried in the stark reality of being forced to endure that which had once been impossible, to conjure belief from a place that it had never existed before.
Trixie used to love when her mother read her Alice in Wonderland, and her little girl knew the book so well that her lips would move along with the words as Chloe read. So many of the passages stood out to her now and words that once had little meaning came to shed light on the realities she still couldn't quite grasp. I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
In the beginning, it was easy for Chloe to think about the time before Wonderland, before she had watched vampires heal with their blood, seen werewolves and wizards and Mirrors walk the halls of the mansion, before she conjured an angel's feather with a thought and watched it heal her best friend's mangled body. Life had been far easier when she didn't have to look the things she never believed in right in the eye. Life wasn't easy anymore, and she yearned even for the days that seemed so challenging with every break of her heart. In those days there was just good and evil, but she was strong enough to fight it all on her own.
Those days were yesterday now, and she was no longer that person. The only option now was to move on.
First-Person Sample:
After last month, I was definitely expecting something a little more... I don't know, traumatizing? Less Winter Break and more The Shining. Like, I'm not actually complaining, although if we were getting offered a vacation I'd take a beach over snow.
[ As it happens, Chloe doesn't exactly look devastated. At the moment, she is curled up in a plush chair in her current bedroom, a book in one hand and a steaming cup of hot chocolate on the table beside her. ]
I'm still not convinced I didn't just hit my head and am now hallucinating everything that is going on but that aside, I'm going to assume this isn't the kind of "event" people warned me about when I got here. Again, not complaining. And I really hope I didn't just jinx all of us.
[ Sorry, folks. ] But is this free vacation thing also something that happens a lot?
