Description

Though at the age of 29, she seems to defy her age. Her body is fully developed though; her hair long and silky, and often tied up in a ponytail, her body an hourglass shape along with legs that seem to go on forever. Her skin is a tan and smooth, the only flaws are scars she'd gotten either from practicing or from fights. She usually wears clothes that cover her skin, a long-sleeved shirt along with baggy sweat pants or shorts and a tank for when it gets hot. She's not one to show off her body, and could care less about how she looks. Her face is a work of art with bright blue eyes and a sweet smile. But if she gets angry, her face will become distorted in anger, depicting fairly accurately what a she-devil would look like.

Personality

Claire's a woman who says little, but possesses great wisdom. She usually never has to worry about money; she's financially fortunate. She can often be vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. Yet she has tremendous sympathy for others and tries to help those less fortunate. Claire tends to overdo, since she has doubts about other people's judgment and prefers to rely on herself. She is determined in whatever she does and hates to fail. Although calm on the surface, she is intense and passionate.

She believes that the only person she needs is herself and no one else. Though many people have tried to tell her to get a boyfriend, she refuses to rely on a boy to do things for her. She has a heart of Ice, but if someone could just be enough to melt the barrier and make her love…

Equipment

Of course, being a fighter, she has weapons on her at all times. She tries not to make them obvious, like some people. Simple throwing needles are hidden in her hair, using them to hold up her hair. Sometimes, she wears a long skirt over a pair of jeans or tights and straps throwing knives to her thighs that way, but it always depends on what her outfit is that day.

History

As a small child, she was always told something special was in store for her, but she never believed anyone. They always said she was 'special', that 'something' would happen to her and make her the happiest girl on the earth. It was just a childish thing back then, maybe it was to settle down and get married. That thought frightened her and she ran from home many years later, trying to get away from it. She protected her heart from others by putting up a barrier of ice, refusing to let anyone in but herself. So, she started living by herself. And she has been since 18. She does work hard, and uses that money to pay for everything she needs along with martial arts lessons. She's a black belt in karate, and almost a master in Kung Fu, though she believes she still has much to learn.
Soon after her 16th birthday, she was walking home from a boring day at school when she walked into a store, not paying much attention. It seemed very old, and had many Asian decorations. She decided to look around and to her surprise; there was a talisman with her zodiac sign-the snake. Though, she just thought of it as a decoration. She bought it and found out its magic soon after. Since then, she has been using it for good things, and some things she’s not too proud of.
