Chloroform was first seen in 1830 or 1831 in Western Europe. First thing she was ever told was that she was tasty. She was named "Chloroform" in 1834-35. Her anaesthetic potential was coincidentally discovered by three men who invited her when they were having fun with random [[Chemicals]] that they brought to home, she ended up knocking them out. She started working as a surgeon in 1848. 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. In her first years, she was labelled as anti-Christian because Chloroform helped women in labour. Chloroform was loved by Queen Victoria of England for helping her pain during childbirth, after the Queen's approval, Chloroform became even more famous everywhere.

Many other people opposed her work but it was about safety this time, Chloroform's work was dangerous and had caused deaths of many patients. Surgeons who opposed Chloroform, supported [[Diethyl Ether|Ether]] who was more "gentle" in anaesthesia and did not cause deaths, yet Ether could get aggressive and set things on fire or was too weak in anaesthesia. Despite the opposition Chloroform faced, her fame grew worldwide because of her strength. She went to wars as a nurse/surgeon where she helped many people. She held no sides in wars and did surgeries on injured soldiers without any political judgement. Humans praised her because Chloroform had successfully drastically decreased the fatality rates in various surgeries by allowing surgeons work longer.
