Stage Name: Damia Astre (Untamed Star)
Age: 21
Role: Tiger Tamer
Sexuality: Sapiosexual
Appearance:
Clara isn't like normal girls, and that would be why she joined the Circus. She never fit in anywhere she went, and she always had a deep love for animals, so when she was sixteen, she ran away. Unlike normal girls, she doesn't wear too much make up or dress in skirts, in fact you would be lucky to see her in dress. Most of the time, when she does wear makeup, she'll be seen with heavy eyeliner, some mascara, and bright lipstick, and the clothes that she does wear is mostly leather, she'll also be seen in jeans and sweaters that are five times too big for her, but on show nights, she'll be need in her normal outfit which includes a pair of black shorts, a black corset, a bright crimson leather jacket, black and red stripped leggings, and black boots that got up to her mid calf, along with a black top hat, gloves with the fingers cut out, and a red and black ask, because most of the time she likes to add some mystery into her performance.
Clara's hair is rather short, but not too short that she can put it up into a small bun or pony tail in the back of her head, the only down side through is that most of the time her upper layers wont stay up and so they end up hanging down, framing her face. When other people see her around after show hours, she'll be seen with her tigers most of the time, Simon and Feral will follow her nearly everywhere, but not as much as Ciel, who normally has a seat upon her shoulder. Damia wont go anywhere that he tigers wont go. It's her personal rule.

Personality:
Clara is the kind of girl who stands up for what she believes in. She doesn't let others push her around, and does what she wants, when she wants. She's headstrong, with as much willpower as an Ox has strength. Some say she was born a natural leader, but she disagrees whole heartily, she doesn't want to be a leader of anything or anyone except herself, she doesn't want to end up responsible for something that happens to someone else ever again.
Damia, though headstrong, is not the kind of person who enjoys human interaction. She prefers to be left to herself, only allowing those who have taken the time to get under her skin, to get anywhere near her. She's strong and smart, capable of making decisions and carrying them out precisely, as well as backing up her choices against anyone who would dare to oppose her. She can speak to a crowd and captivate everyone's full attention, but she has a little trouble with the one-on-one interaction, through she doesn't like to interact with large crowds, it's not avoidable most times, the only time she will interact with large crowds is when she is preforming, and that's only because she has her Tiger with her. Should she do something for you, don't thank her. She'll merely say it had to be done and wave it off. She hides inside herself, preferring to be alone, than to get close to someone and get hurt. She never really had a family that she loved until she joined the cirque, she hates her actual family, but loves the family that adopted her with a passion.
She's spent years building a hard-rock emotional shell for her to hide herself in, and isn't about to let anyone ruin that. She's a hard person to understand. Ninety percent of the time, her sarcastic mouth and, often hurtful, jokes are complete bullshit. She doesn't truly mean half the things she says. Though, usually most people don't understand this and get fed up with her instantly, seeing her as nothing more than a cocky, wanna-be bad ass. This means her protective walls are doing their job. It's the people who actually take the time to decipher what she's really trying to say, that she let's get to her. Despite all this though, Damia is incredibly caring. She takes care of the people she cares about secretly in a tender manner, loving each one of them as a mother would love her child or as a sister would love another sibling.
Damia is very tough, and it's hard to earn her trust. Most of the time, if someone wants to gain her trust, she has to know she can be happy around them, that she can put her life in their hands and they wont end up letting her down. Often she isn't at the front of the group but rather at the back watching and learning far more than you would think. She has always been able to read people and see things about them that others can't. She is quick witted and willing to speak the truth when no one else will, she has a knack for showing the harder side of life that people want to ignore. Most people take notice of when she butts into a conversation, since she more than likely has something important to say, but she'll only say something important if she thinks it's worth while.
Damia is a firm believer in the idea that scars never go away, that time cannot heal everything. This goes is part of the mindset she has that people need to face there problems and that it is by doing this that they can grow as a person. Never being one to shy away when problems arise up her direct and no nonsense attitude in life makes it so that she very rarely has an issue that is not dealt with quickly. She is really smart, and she tends to speak her mind freely and if she offends someone by what she says she always points out that its only offending because they know it's true. She doesn't like to be pushed about or bossed so she stands up for herself and her friends because she believes that if your going to pick on someone, you should be per-paired for what would happen next.
She is very imaginative, creative, and extremely crafty. She likes to think out of the box, no matter how ridiculous her ideas are. She's very blunt, in your face, and can border on rude because she will not hold anything back. She often gets that sarcastic and witty look like she's about to mess with you, but if she doesn't know you and doesn't know if she can trust you, she wont. She is extremely good at lying and fibbing and shes mostly and extremely, painfully, stubborn. However, if you should ever, ever get past that side of her, you'll see someone who wishes they could trust others, but try's to avert from doing so. When she helps someone, she helps them in a natural way, making it seem like she did it cause she had to. When angered, she'll simply glare or just walk away. She hates to be around crowded areas and prefers to be alone most of the time.. She's distrustful, but all around nice on the surface to nearly everyone. Though she doesn't stand for any injustice, she understands that the world is often filled with injustice, and there isn't much she can do about it. Words are rare when it comes to Damia, since she doesn't really like to speak to anyone she doesn't know, but when she trusts someone, she trusts them with her life.
History:
Ever since she was a child, Clara wasn't normal. Her parents always wanted her to be like her older sister or even her younger brother. Of course they were the perfect apple pie family with a hard working dad and a mom her stays at home all day and cleans and watches the kids, her siblings were both all A students, both part of the school council, and so smart they could have been teaching the classes, Clara was different, the French side of her came out more, and unlike her siblings, she engaged in it, she learned how to speak French on her own, and allows her ascent to come out more than her parents approve of, not to mention her love for the wild life animal, the Tiger. Ever since she was little she loved the animal, she obsessed over it, her parents constantly bashed her because instead of being as smart as a teacher, she was smarter she always pointed out their flaws in a lesson, black talked, and never did the work, the was the main reason she was failing school, and because of this, her parents took their violence out on her.
She learned to hate school and her family, to her they were one in the same, other than the fact they didn't beat her at school, only at home, it wasn't until she snuck out one night with the small groups of friends she had to go to a passing circus. She had fallen in love with it all right away, but the thing she loved the most was the Tiger act. An older man had the tigers perfectly tamed. After the show, on the way out, she told her friends that she had left her bag behind and needed to go get it, so they all left, and she went to the man. After expressing her love for Tigers, the man agreed to take her in and train her how to tame them. Clara had ran home, backed a bag, left and note, and then, she ran away with the circus. The man taught her everything she knows now, and when he passed away, he had given her Simon and Feral to take care of, along with Ciel as a parting gift. He was the one to come up with her stage name, he told her that the first part was because she was untamed, and that she always would be, and the second part was because when she got out on that stage, she shinned like a star. Through the past haunted her, all of the times her parents had beaten her, told her she was worthless, bu she tries to keep it in the back of her mind. or she'll have a break down like the first time someone asked her about her past.
Other:
She doesn't like to be away from her Tigers for a very long time, and because of that she practices new tricks all of the time with her Tigers. Because she is in the Main tent a lot, just playing and messing around with her Tigers and a lot of the other member's from the Circus like to come down and watch her, and sometimes she'll put on a little performance for them all, it really helps her get ready for the real show and she loves just lounging around and playing with her Tigers, sometimes she'll even help others when it comes to fears of large cats or animals by asking them to help her. All three of Clara's tigers can be seen around her almost all of the time, they are very tam and know better than to attack anyone with her permission, she loves her Tigers with all of her hear and couldn't imagine life without them.
Damia is French, that's easy to see by her stage name and her accent, when she is angry she'll speak in french, and when she is drunk her accent will become heavier until people can barely tell what she is saying, other times when she speaks french is mostly just for fun or to confuse people, or for when she does her acts, since her Tigers and Tamed with French words.
Theme Song(s):
Florance and the Machine: Heavey In Your Arms
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown.
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
And is it worth the wait
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?
Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't make a sound
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
So heavy in your arms
This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
(Ohhhh)
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart
Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms
I was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground
I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms.
Heavy, i'm so heavy in your arms.
