VN Ren'Py Cosy Cafe [v0.13.1 EA] [Cosy Creator]

Considering Cosy has been explicitly pointing out her reactions as different from Mika and Brain's - she is probably gonna switch sides at one point or another. But yeah, I felt bad for her too - she did have one of the better outfits and in general has been completely inoffensive so far. But at the same time, the only two people who might have had the inclination to put a good word for her weren't judging (Vicky and Hannah). Personally I think, that if she was Mika 2.0, Vicky would have kicked her ass out and wouldn't have even let her compete, but that's just me.

Tbf the entire contest was clearly rigged which is understandable because of the final prize, but I wish it could have been more genuine because there were good costumes like Sarah's maid who would have been my winner.

Also, even putting aside whether she's a good person or not... giving her a couple points wasn't gonna place her on the podium. You can begrudgingly give her a 1 or a 2 for genuine effort and she won't come anywhere close to an actual prize. I think that's largely the point people are making.

I agree on making the point, but think about what Chloe's very slow defection would do to Brian and Mika. Vicky had to do it because she wanted something (the job) but if Chloe, out of her own motivations, wanted to try to break away from them, it would shock them both and it would only leave them with each other.

Curious as to which side branch of a Family she's from. I hope we find out. Leaving Mika alone with Brian would suit them since they deserve each other. I have a feeling Chloe is trying to put forward an olive branch.

She was a bitch to Lucy & Vicky in the beginning, but so was Catherine (and initially Vicky), and look how that turned out.

I'd imagine that their behavior goes back much further than that before the MC showed up in town. But between Mika, Catherine, Chloe and Vicky I think Mika was the worst by far.
Only Vicky has apologized to Lucy so far. If Chloe wants to get anywhere near the harem she would need to do at least that. I don't think she will ever be more than background character tho, but her peeling away from Brian would be sweet for sure... We already saw less and less of her with Brian and Mika before she showed up at the goth competition. Maybe you're on to something here?

You make a point. Catherine has never apologized to Lucy or Victoria, well, she did, but it was half-assed with Vicky basically shrugging her off. I think if she did it now, there would be more feeling behind it.

I mean, it's not like we have seen much of Chloe, period
We have one scene where she speaks and it's mean girl bs, mostly to Victoria (and, by the way, I wonder what those rumors about her a few months ago were? It's never explored upon). After that is her mostly looking surprised/shocked - not a lot to go on. But Cosy has been pretty pedantic of setting up facial expressions and body language, I think he meant to convey she is thinking about stuff.
That said, I'm pretty sure she ain't joining the harem. There is a list floating around with all the Main LIs (those who will get collars), semi-main LIs (major role, but no collar) and side chicks and I think Chloe is in the third category. Granted, I'm pretty sure Annabelle wasn't in any of them or was in the last group initially, so, Cosy is not above promoting a fan favorite
