Chloe/Beca, also known by the portmanteau Bechloe, is a very popular femslash pairing in the Pitch Perfect fandom, as well as the wider sapphic fan community.
Canon
Chloe and Beca first meet when Chloe tries to recruit Beca to audition for the Bellas, in which she rebuffs it saying she can't sing. Chloe realizes that Beca has a voice during a shower scene when she hears Beca sings "Titanium" and convinces her via an amazing duet that auditioning might not be a bad idea after all. They grow close throughout the first film, as Chloe is the one who is able to defend Beca from Aubrey, since she is a co-leader. Chloe is also seen to be more understanding and accepting Beca's advice and suggestions, however it all remains unused due to Aubrey's overbearing control of the group.
Chloe also continues to break Beca's personal barriers by showing her concern and support for Beca throughout the two movies. In the second film, Chloe is still a Bella upon Beca's senior year, though chooses to graduate with the group before Worlds. Even after major disagreement between them during Pitch Perfect 2, Chloe never fails to stick by Beca's side and even uses the song (Cups) Beca auditioned for the Bellas 4 years ago when they all confessed how much they will miss each other after graduation.[1]

Pairing names
"Bechloe" is the most common name for the pairing. An alternate name is "Bloe" or "Bhloe," after a line of Fat Amy's from Pitch Perfect 2: "You're Beca and Chloe. Together you're Bloe. And everyone loves a good Bloe."
