Battle Information:

Weapons (Main): Claire, being that she is a fencer, prefers to use a rapier. It is slightly longer than the traditional (to help make up for her alternate blade), and tops out at just under four feet in length. It is sharpened In a nontraditional way as well, following a great Italian fencer; both sides of the blade are sharpened, though only on the first six inches from the tip. The hilt and guard both have intricate gold layers along the reverse side. (Nicknamed- Nara)

Weapon (Secondary): Finally, Claire’s second weapon. Her second blade is a saber, similar to the rapier in length, but not width. The blade’s thickness is about 1 ¼ inches and is sharpened along the entirety of its combat edge. There is ornate gold trim along the hilt, for the guard. (Nicknamed- Tomlin)

Natural Abilities:
-Blessed Knight: Claire’s dedication to the holy and just cause has allowed her to be blessed by the Light, itself. The blessing imbues her blades with the guidance of the Unseen. [Described in her background.] Weapons in her grasp let off a faint ice blue aura.
Shorthand:) Her blades cause slightly more damage due to unseen burns, and tend to be more accurate (for thrusts and jabs) They also react in defense MUCH more quickly than for attack, due to the blessing.

Other Abilities: None.
Usable Energy Types: None.
Spiritual Battle Attributes: Claire, due to her experience, has the ability to sense evil.

Flight: No

Quote: "Peace is all the world wants... I'm here to create it with my sword."

Background:
Order: To understand Claire and her history, you must first understand what she is. She is a member of the Order of Light; a radical religion on crusade against any and all evil or darkness. The Order was created, or at the very least conceived shortly after the discovery of both good and evil.
The Order was not planet restrictive, but carried its message across the stars through the spiritually attuned. It was strong, and strict, but with few laws. The Order’s regulations were simple:
Adhere to the chain of Command, and you will be granted paradise.
Your life is for the good of Light, and the bane of Shade.

The Order’s Chain of Command: The ranks of the order are fairly simple.
Light: The all encompassing good in the world.
Listeners: Seers whom dedicate their life to interpreting the Light, for the campaign against the Shade.
Strategists: Take the information from the Listeners and direct the soldiers against the Shade.
Knights: Elite fighters for the Light; they tend to lead the lowest rank of the Order.
Martyrs: The lowest rank of the Order; they are either new unproven pledges, or simply prefer to work in groups.

There is also a sixth rank the Order may attain known as the Emissary. This is described further later, and is not known by many outside of the Listeners.

Most warriors from the Order of Light (at their weakest) are phenomenal swordsmen, marksmen, or magi; renowned and sought for their abilities, and natural kindness. However, against the many creatures, warriors, and things of the night, many of the Order do fall. Of course, as promised, should any of the Order fall under command from the Light, or in support of the Light, they are granted paradise in the afterlife.

Once slain, any member of the order (under the previous law) is escorted from their body by the Unseen [Described later]. They are brought to the Light, where their paradise is revealed, then given for eternal afterwards. This is foretold to last until the war between the Light and Shade ends.
However, some warriors find paradise in combat. Upon falling in battle, these warrior’s spirits are granted a different paradise, and status; the Unseen. Their soul is given a spiritual form, and sent to follow the Order's soldiers during battle. The Unseen are able to manipulate weapons, possess bodies of fighters in order to change the tide of battle. These are the most honorable of the Order of the Light, but are only known by those who have passed.

Claire, however falls under a different category altogether. Certain tasks are far too delicate to give to Martyrs, or Knights. To the Listeners, and the Light itself, Claire is known as an e\Emissary. She is sent rapidly to several planets to diffuse plans created by Shade or evil, before Knights and Martyrs are chosen for the planet. Claire is the spearhead of most operations (there are only ten Emissaries alive ever, at any one point).
The origin of Claire, herself, is a rather disturbing story and is downplayed greatly. During the beginning of the Light’s crusade, the very first ten Emissaries were chosen. They were the greatest warriors of their time, and rarely left the battlefield without destroying enormously beyond their own number. In fact, their creation had almost ended the war entirely. During the final siege against the remnants of the Shade empire, three of the ten Emissaries went missing.
Fearing the worst, the remaining Emissaries attacked the last Shade stronghold. Much to their chagrin, the missing Emissaries were inside, though they were not held as prisoners, but rather leaders. The legend becomes confusing at this point, and not much is written to define the exact events. What is known is that the Shade’s rule did not end that day, and five new Emissaries were brought into the Order after the Betrayal. Claire was the first chosen to fill the honored Emissary role. Her body and spirit, though not yet even a Martyr, was extraordinarily in tune with the Light.
She had felt the loss of the Betrayal without any form of magi or seer to help channel the Light, and wept that afternoon, praying for those whom were lost. Her diligent prayer, in combination with her fencing skill provided the perfect medium for a new Emissary. The day of her prayer, at the moment she opened her eyes, she was granted the knowledge of all the history of the Order of Light and offered the position. Feeling the urgency of the situation, she accepted.
Currently: Claire is being rotated on peacekeeping watches throughout the galaxy. The Light sends her, specifically, to end Shade quarrels. Her fighting style is quick, graceful, and lethal. More to the point, it’s precise.
