Claire

One of the sacred Guardians of Meirith, who worshipped the Holy Emperor Karna Masta in the La Veda Republic. Born the daughter of a priest from the Great Holy Shrine, she later became a knight until her and her younger twin brother were ordered to serve as Guardians. Surpassing every quality expected of a warrior, including heart, technique, and physique, she was admired by many. However, there are those who claim she turned into a completely different person on the battlefield, turning into an almost demonic creature when infuriated, and sprouting the rumor that something violent lived within her. On the other hand, she is said to have been overprotective of her younger brother as well. When Grand Gaia found itself threatened by demon attacks, the Holy Emperor bestowed a pike of flame upon her, subsequently joining forces with other Guardians to visit territories that had been sealed away. It is said that it was there where she performed a feat that surpassed the gods' expectations. Legend has it that a group of gods thought her rapidly growing power a menace, as it almost surpassed those of regular disciples, and thus sent her off on a demon slaying mission they predicted she would not return from. While out on a mission, she received word of some heretics who planned to defy Karna Masta, and decided to return immediately. This choice would mean leaving her friend Quaid behind in the territory they had been exploring, but according to legend, Claire chose to go with her brother in the end. Once she had returned to the Holy Emperor's side, she faced off against a group of bladed warriors, ultimately falling in battle as she tried to protect her brother. Too weakened by the wounds she had received during her previous mission to recover, she left her last words to her beloved brother
