She stands at 5’9” (1.75m) with a fit build. Her wavy strawberry blonde hair reaches over her clavicles and frames grey eyes; light freckles spatter across her face.

She wears a silver necklace with a teardrop crystal, underneath black robes purfled in matching silver. Both are gifts from her older brother Michael.

There is a round scar on the right side of her abdomen with raised, ugly, radial tendrils, faded white, about two inches in diameter.

The acorn-looking house sits on a modest acreage and forms part of a small close-knit community named Dolly Basin, co. Cambridgeshire. It isn’t unusual to see various neighbours, mostly wizards, drop in for an unannounced visit on the owners, Wilbert and Jean Lakeshore, who can always be counted upon for a cup of sugar, a quick heal, or the summer barbecue gathering.

Back in the day, the Lakeshores’ adoption of a Muggle-born little boy from the orphanage in a nearby town stirred quite a bit of gossip; but quiet, sturdy Michael grew to be an upright citizen and the son they had dreamed of having. To their great delight, when Jean was unexpectedly pregnant, Michael immediately took to his baby sister and became a strong protector for Clare. The Hufflepuff family was completed twelve years later with the final addition of Nathaniel.

Born into a loving and fair family, Clare was nurtured to be diligent and independent. She was inseparable from her older brother; so, with their six years age gap, it was bittersweet when she attended Hogwarts and when he left home after school to pursue an apprenticeship in blacksmithing.

Clare was an excellent student who relied on effort for grades, with a talent for Quidditch. Despite her unsuccessful attempt to become a Seeker for the Hufflepuff team during her second year, Clare was chosen by then-Captain Ruby Midgeon as a Chaser. Her specialty were dodges and passes and setting up shots. The Tutshill Tornados selected her in a try out for their team but she passed on the golden opportunity, along with an acceptance into St Mungo’s to be a Healer like her father, in favour of the Auror program. After the gruelling three years training, Clare, Matthias Pegsworth (Ravenclaw) and Tiffany Redwood (Slytherin) were apprentices to the brash and formidable Leopold Remmart for a further two. 

Life as a junior Auror was mundane. The most memorable experience was the case of the Peruvian Vipertooth in 1967 when Clare was twenty-five years old. Several villagers of the rural towns in Rossendale had mysteriously disappeared. Coincidentally, the Office received an anonymous tip-off that a dragon resided in the surrounding Bone Forest, a notorious hide-out for a brutal gang of thieves. Clare, Tiffany and two dragonologists were sent to contain the Vipertooth. They were met with a dark wizard who had been harbouring the beast. In the duel that ensued, while Clare lay at the mercy of the attacking wizard, Tiffany blasted him with [i]Stupefy[/i], instead of shielding her partner, under the ambition of a live capture. The curse shot off at an angle as he fell and ruptured through the right side of her abdomen. It was only due to the dragonologists’ first aid that Clare managed to reach the safety of St Mungo’s in time. 

Clare was put on light duties for a year after recovery. (Tiffany received the praise and promotion she wanted.) 

In recent times, she has been investigating the rising group known as Death Eaters on the side, based on a suspicion by Leopold. The Ministry had dismissed his concerns.
