Chloroform

Chloroform (Trichloromethane or Theophania Metwin) is one of the main characters of Chemical Culture. She is known for her long-lived career as an anaesthetist and a surgeon.

Chloroform is the one of calmest chemicals. Her siblings are Chloromethane, Methylene Chloride and Carbon Tetrachloride. Many Chemicals are mentioned as Chloroform's parents.

Personality
Chloroform is very calm and friendly, she is nice to talk with. She is deeply ashamed of her own history and what humans associate her with. She hates being labelled a criminal or even praised for the lives she has saved. Because of her bad reputation, she never liked the name "Chloroform" especially after the 1920s, she prefers to be called "Trichloromethane" ("TCM" for short). Chloroform prefers staying in the dark.

Chloroform treated Dichloromethane and Carbon Tetrachloride like her friends. She is neutral towards Chloromethane and never talks to him unless it is necessary.

Appearance
Chloroform is a pale-skinned woman with dark red eyes typical to Organochlorides and two-coloured hair. Her hair is naturally 3/4 dark blue and 1/4 light pink, this colour ratio represents the ratio of hydrogen to chlorine in her molecule. She is 173 centimetres tall, making her the shortest among the Chloromethanes. Chloroform dresses simple and modest. She likes light colours. She goes outside always with a parasol and very dark sunglasses to protect herself from the sunlight.

Family
Chloroform has three siblings of other Chloromethanes. Chloroform has multiple parents, which is very normal for Chemicals. Her parents are Sodium Hypochlorite with Ethanol and/or Acetone, Methane or her brother Dichloromethane with the god Chlorine, Chloral, Trichloroacetic Acid. Phosgene, who is listed as her only offspring, has more parents than Chloroform has. Chloroform mated with Chlorine, an elemental god, to make her sister Carbon Tetrachloride.

History
Chloroform was first seen in 1830 in Western Europe. She started working as a surgeon in 1846. Her dark blue and pink hair colour was considered unnatural and creepy by her patients. Chloroform always wanted to look more human and wore a turban to cover her unnaturally-coloured hair to not to scare her patients. Chloroform was loved by Queen Victoria for helping her pain during childbirth.

She and Diethyl Ether went to wars as doctors where they helped many people. They held no sides in wars and did surgeries on injured soldiers without any political judgement.

Around the 1950s, after being accused of many deaths, Chloroform was forced to retire from working in anaesthesia and replaced by younger anaesthetists such as Trichloroethylene and Halothane. Ether voluntarily retired years after Chloroform. Unlike other Organochlorides, Chloroform did not seek for a new job after retirement. She had a short career in refrigeration and worked in a dry-cleaner for an unknown time.
