(Granted, she was pretty nice to begin with but she did have her moments where she was destructive and vindictive, even a little manipulative) but some of these behaviors seem to have changed in this timeline. Adaptational Nice Guy: Chloe seems to have turned her life around in the timeline (Waves arc) where she and Rachel are together for the most part, she works at an auto-repair shop and doesn't seem to engage in any of the behavior she did in the original game, Rachel also seems to be a lot nicer.
