Sinclaire Glory

Sinclaire Glory (シンクレア栄光, Shin Kurea Eikō) is a Mage and Swordswoman of the Legal Guild Yggdrasil. Her full name is Sinclaire Ashelia Glory, but she simply goes by the name Claire to make it easier for those around her. Claire is partnered with Ryuga forming the team Sol Reave; and often acts an authority figure for an otherwise free spirit, often leaving her to track down what she claims to be her "dead weight".

Appearance
Claire is a young woman in her late adolescent years, with a fair skin complexion and a buxom figure. She has long blonde hair that runs all the way down to her back with several bangs hanging over her forehead, and sports medium blue eyes. Claire also wears a blue headband over her hair to keep it in place. Despite having an appearance of a typical teenager, Claire has a very defined and muscular body from practicing martial arts for so many years. While constantly considered very cute and attractive by many males that she meet including [Ryuga]], her most pointed out physical trait is her slender yet developed body, especially her well-endowed chest, something that enrages most other females around her, especially those in her guild.

Claire's standard attire consists of a long red dress that reaches to her ankles with gold accents. The dress is open at the top, giving view to both her shoulders and breasts. The sleeves have crowned shoulder guards that bear an elaborate emblem. For footwear, she wears brown heeled, laced boots which reach up to her knees over long stockings with brown garter belts.

Claire's more casual appearance is not much different from her standard one. She is dressed in a black dress with a frilly white under-dress that exposes much of her cleavage. When dressing casually, Claire allows her hair to fall down normally, removing the normal bangs she is commonly seen sporting. With her casual attire, she begins to wear a black choker around her neck, and has long brown thigh-high boots with black stockings. Because of her short skirt, if she fights in this outfit her panties are often exposed leading to her frequent embarrassment.

Personality
Cheerful and positive, Claire's natural good looks get the attention of many males around her. She's very kind, sweet, soft-spoken, polite and friendly towards others. Though good natured, she possesses a bit of naivety that draws her into problematic situations. While initially distrustful of those she meets, she eventually grows to care for those that spend an extended amount of time with her. Claire is constantly noted by males to be extremely beautiful, as all the males that she meets eventually become attracted towards her.

It doesn't take much to anger this young lady, but when she manages to become upset, Claire seems to become a completely different person. When angered or embarrassed, Claire becomes cold and reserved, she is highly aristocratic and arrogant, looking down upon all for their audacity to challenge her. She normally punishes those that anger her by brutally assaulting them with her fists alone, she will even attempt to permanently maim them, if needed. When Claire gets in this state, it often takes several people to restrain her in order to prevent her for completely massacring the target of anger.

Claire has been noted to be an incredible drunkard, drinking more than either Lucina or Shiranui Ryūzetsu combined. Claire claims that drinking is her method for making people become friends at an increased speed and to break tension among peers. When she does become drunk, Claire becomes a highly flirtatious individual, making moves on both animate and inanimate objects as seen when she was snuggling up with a house-plant along side Severa Jerand.

Equipment
River Talon: A sword unique to Claire alone, being summoned from a Magical Seal whenever she wishes to use it. It takes the form of mid-handled blade with its blade running down the guard, allowing Claire to guard herself while simultaneously attacking her opponent. The River Talon is constructed from compacted orichalcum allowing it to cut through several objects with ease and possesses a superimposed multilayer structure and is able to reveal a whole new cutting edge should the current ege become worn from battle. The River Talon has the ability to cut through Magical Concepts, breaking the spells and illusions as though it were cutting through tangible objects.

Magic and Abilities
High Magical Power: After honing her skills upon joining Yggdrasil, her control over her Magical Energy grew by leaps and bounds. She can use it to paralyze and knock out weaker Mages. Claire's Magical Energy is attuned the natural life forces and in such she is capable of using some of the slight essence given off in order to replenish her own energy. When completely releasing her Magical Energy, a large shock-wave emanates from her body and it can be seen that a large four-headed dragon made of bright red flames resonates through the air and flies about the area. If this dragon comes into contact with any individual, either friend or foe, it causes a slight paralyzing effect.

Claire is quite adept at blocking with the blade in this manner as well.


 * Claireswordstyle.jpgKanchōryū (陥頂流, Style of the Falling Summit): Claire's core fighting style when utilizing a sword in battle. She does not remove the blade from its sheathe, but instead strikes the opponent with her weapon with its blade still hidden. In doing so, she is still able to slice an opponent as though the blade was already drawn, utilizing pure skill and technique that she has honed over the years. However, when using this style with a fully drawn blade, Claire is said to be unparalleled in the field of combat, being able to completely disarm and kill an opponent with a single swing of her weapon. She dislikes using her sword to kill, but will do so when there are no other option or someone has incurred her complete wrath.

Martial Arts Expert: Claire's Martial Arts techniques revolve around sending the force of her punches through the air rather than making direct contact. This is achieved by collecting the rotational force of her bodily motion until it forms into a needle, forged by her own Magical Energy around her fist. At that point, that collected atmospheric force would then be directed from the circular motion into a straight line via a single punch, where it is sent barreling into any number of Claire's opponents.

When caught by surprise from an enemy's attack, xhe has shown himself to be capable of reacting in time to skillfully dodge or counter the assault.

Claire's agility has shown to grant her great dexterity in battle, able to attack her opponent from various angles with great accuracy and force.

Enhanced Durability: While not having the most imposing appearance compared to many others, Claire has shown herself to be a very resilient fighter. She was capable of taking a punch from a man who is twice the size she is and continue to stand, although she lost conciousness seconds later. She is still able to continue fighting effectively and even ignore her wounds to some extent, as they still hurt her. Claire herself has stated that it is not her body that makes her a durable fighter but it her willpower that makes her continue to battle.
