₪ Personality ₪

Claire's personality is rather complex and often misunderstood by those observing or interacting with her. Having to do awful acts at a very young age Claire had to learn not to care about the horrible things she had to do and buried her sensitivity beneath the burdens of her atrocities. Having killed so many Claire now exists solely to fight and survive in the name of all those who's lives she ended. Each person slain becoming another voice added to her mind. Claire uses these voices as motivation to survive however at times it can overwhelm her, particularly when she is asleep. It is not unusual for Claire to wake up screaming and in a cold sweat though few have seen it since she is often alone.

While appearing as a hardened mercenary those who have come to know Claire out of combat quickly realize that she is still very much a child. While capable of handling herself in battle Claire's prowess at navigating life and often social situations is best described as terrible; Her naivety and and inability to read people's intentions often puts Claire in dangerous situations which most could have easily avoided. It is because of this that Claire functions much better when not on her own and is often in need of supervision.

₪ Combat ₪

A once gifted conjurer Claire has an abundance of aether which she channels using her emotions to augment her combat abilities, mainly strength and endurance. She is able to wield a greatsword much too large for her and endure hits that would render many incapacitated. Every swing from her sword uses her full force and she will seldom hold back; The downside of this combat style is that Claire will almost always overextend herself and push her body too far it is because of this Claire favors fights with overly aggressive beginnings which she will try to end quickly. Should a fight continue for too long Claire will find herself with little remaining aether and will collapse from exhaustion and the strain on her body; When this happens Claire will be immobile for roughly a day (or more) and will need to heal and recharge her aether.

₪ History ₪

Early Life

Claire was born in a seeker tribe where she spent a lot of her time exploring and learning about the wild. The young Miqo'te had difficulties socializing with her siblings and spent most of her time with her mother; In fact Claire managed to get more time with her mother than all of her other siblings. The young Miqo'te had a gift for healing which her mother who was a blooming white mage nurtured a great deal.

One day a wounded Au Ra man carrying a gigantic sword staggered into the village and collapsed. He had a young daughter with him who begged the tribe for help. Claire's mother spent her time healing the man and the two eventually fell in love later left the village, taking Claire with them. After leaving they found a house along the coast of Limsa where Claire's mother and the Au Ra man who Claire soon came to know as her father called along with his daughter who would be her sister could call home.

Now in addition to Claire's mother teaching her conjury her adopted father tried to help her learn in the way of the sword. Claire spent many an hour trying to lift the man's sword never having any luck; He always found the activity to be quite amusing which frustrated young Claire to no end. The two sister's trained together, in fact the two were almost inseperable, for the first time Claire had a friend.

Years at Sea

One day a pirate ship landed not far from the family's remote home where Claire and Edna were playing. The pirates quickly seized Claire however Edna was quite fast and managed to get away and make it into the house. In no time the crew was at the family home with a gun pointed to Claire's head. Not wasting any time Claire's father grabbed his sword but with the young Miqo'te as a hostage he could not charge before the crew demanded he lay down his arms. The man complied but the moment his sword was laid on the ground he was shot dead. Hearing the shot Claire's mother burst from the house and sent stones flying, killing one of the pirates before she too met her fate at a bullet.

Edna and Claire were taken aboard the ship where in the days to come learned that the pirates worked with the Sahagin and that they were to be taken to be tempered by Leviathan. It was then Edna struck a deal with the crew, the two sisters would help the pirates capture more people so long as they could be kept alive. Finding the plan both amusing and plausible a deal was struck and for the next 7 years the two children helped lure and capture countless people in the name of Leviathan.
