Physical Description
Clair can be an odd sight to behold. Light-grey hair and similarly coloured eyes makes her seem almost drained of colour, unless her clothing provides a splash of it (which doesn’t happen all that often). She’s pretty well built, which is apparent when she’s dressed for work, but less so when she’s off duty as she favours clothes that are comfortable and sometimes just a bit too big for her. She also has a particular fondness for jewellery, often wearing rings, bracelets, and necklaces, but nothing that requires a piercing. Anything that jingles or produces other subtle noises as it moves is a bonus- she loves those things.
Personality
In general, Clair tends to be on the more reserved side. While she does do a lot of thinking, it’s not very often that those thoughts end up as spoken words, not unless she deems them “important enough” to say. It can be difficult to get her to open herself up to conversation, and as a result, she maintains a bit of a cold aura about her. That’s not to say it’s impossible to have a pleasant conversation with her, as she still does what she can to be polite, but it’s not going to be easy to pry personal information from her.
Her status as a mage is something that Clair has mixed feelings about. While it’s comforting to know that there will always be people looking out for her and making sure she’s well taken care of, it’s also difficult to shake the feeling that she’s a constant burden on those around her. Because of this, it’s rare to see her complain even if something is seriously bothering her. Best not to have people not worry any more than they already do.
While she doesn’t enjoy every part of her job, she does it anyways out of a sense of duty (and, to be perfectly honest, it’s not like she has a choice). It’s the least she can do to pay them back for taking care of her, and it’s the most practical use of her abilities, as much as she might wish this weren’t the case. She just hopes it never gets to the point where she loses control of her magic.
Magic/Abilities
Storm Magic- A strange sort of amalgamation of lightning, wind, and (to a lesser extent) water magic. Her magic is definitely more focused around power than control, making it a far better destructive force than a constructive one. While formidable to begin with, the raw power of her magic grows over time if it isn’t being suppressed, becoming increasingly more difficult to control as it does. Since it’s generally in everyone’s best interest to keep her from getting to the point where she completely loses control of it, the limits of her magic haven’t really been made clear.
Relationships
Most of Clair’s relationships consist of her caretakers and her Mordecai partners. She’s had a few over the years.
History
Not much is known about Clair’s early years. What is known is that she was found as a young girl out on the Frontier, being used as a battery to help power one of the terraforming towers. Typically, mages in her situation tend to be overlooked or forgotten about, but she was one of the lucky few who ended up being found and freed. Less fortunate, however, was the fact that she didn’t seem to recall anything about where she came from or even who she was- not even a name. With no apparent family to go back to, she was handed over to the government of Edanith, where she was effectively raised by them through Mordecai and other caretakers. One of them helped her come up with names until she decided on one she liked, which she still has to this day.
Due to the destructive capabilities of her magic, Clair was trained to be a battlemage so she could put it to good use. She’s gotten pretty capable over the years, training with several Mordecai- due to the fluctuating power of her magic and the stressful nature of her job, it was difficult to find one who was a good fit for her. Her frequent transfers have led her to Tynova, where she seems to be staying… at least for now.
