Claudette is a young lady whose short stature gives her quite a frail appearance. Though despite her tiny frame, she is quite lean muscled. She has a smooth, olive skinned complexion that gives her a very exotic appearance to many. Her eyelashes are well defined naturally and she sports a beauty mark underneath her left eye. She has a scar along the side of her right temple down to her cheekbone. On the left side of her neck, stretching down to her shoulder blade, is a large burn scar. Prolonged exposure to her magic causes her skin to become clammy and pale, as well as highlighting the veins all across her body by turning them black.

Claudette's eyes are a very dark brown, almost always mistaken for black unless you look hard enough. She has thin eyebrows that appear black, but are actually a very dark blue. Her hair also shares the same color and is kept cut short, except for her bangs which she grows to cover the right side of her face. When exposed to light, the blue color of her hair becomes much more apparent. Her lips are slightly pink and she has a very thin, diamond shaped jaw line. When using her magic, the whites of her eyes turn jet black and her iris' glow an ominous crimson. Large black veins become visible across her temples, spreading from her eyes like vines.

For the most part, Claudette prefers to dress rather conservatively. While travelling, she's mostly seen wearing a pair of trousers, a shirt and a large hoodie to cover her face. Her hoodie is much too large for her, clearly a mans size, and has many different patches related to varying topics ironed onto it. There are also two large gashes in the back of her hoodie and shirt, exposing her shoulder blades. She'll usually wear some sneakers or other comfortable footwear for long walks.

When dressing for battle or a more casual affair, Claudette can mostly be seen wearing a simple white, long-sleeved blouse with a gray vest, the same large gashes found on the back near her shoulder blades. She also can be seen wearing a blue and white striped tie. She accompanies her simple look with a matching grey skirt with thigh high black stockings that lead down into a pair of neat, black lace shoes. She uses two red hair pins to tuck her left bang behind her ear, but lets the right bang flow freely down to her chin. She can always be seen wearing a simple piece of string around her neck, a small honey jade gemstone hanging from it around her neck.

Claudette displays some very paranoid tendencies. These range from constantly checking her surroundings to being startled by sudden abrupt noises. She also doesn't particularly like the indoors, being quite claustrophobic. She tends to have heavy breathing when surrounded by too many people and can become quite irritable. Claudette bites her lip when nervous, sometimes even causing it to bleed.

Claudette's upbringing has turned into a very reserved young lady who is considered by many to be quite paranoid. Claudette trusts very little and is rarely ever willing to open up about herself. When pushed she gets very snappy, often leading others to label her as a rude individual. She prefers to keep people at a distance, viewing attachments as a weakness. Claudette often tries to act more mature beyond her years. While it's true that she has been forced to grow up faster than others her age, her lack of experience shows and she often comes off as stubborn and naive.

Claudette is afraid of many things and is a very fight or flight person. She's quick to aggression, even over the simplest of misunderstandings. At the same time, she's also the first one to bail when things go south. It's not that she lacks courage; she just doesn't see much of a reason to risk her own life for anyone but herself. Of course, she's not completely heartless. When pushed into an impossible situation, Claudette can spring into action and protect others; albeit rather begrudgingly.

Claudette is very insecure about using her magic in front of others. She claims that it's far too big of a risk for her powers to be witnessed, as it will lead her into danger yet again. Claudette's cold attitude is a by-product of her life on the run and being forced to watch anyone she got close to die at the hands of the relentless mages who hunted her for a good part of her life. To her, the greatest kindness she can give someone is to be involved as little as possible with them.

Claudette has a very unorthodox method of fighting that is only possible due to her ability to fly. The biggest advantage she holds over her opponents is her aerial mobility, which allows her to attack in a variety of methods that most enemies are not used to fighting against. Claudette's wings are her main weapon, and as such her attacks usually involve her flying or dancing around; unleashing a series of wing slashes against her opponent while she hovers around the fight like an annoying fly. This often causes her to have her back to the opponent, but Claudette is so used to this that it can hardly be considered exposing a weakness anymore.

C Rank

Child of Darkness

A Dark Magic that is unique to Claudette as it relies on her demonic nature. Claudette sprouts a large pair of butterfly wings that are seemingly made of blood and fire, granting her the ability of flight. Her wings can be solidified into deadly sharp crystals and used as melee weapons or a shield, but doing so drastically reduces her speed when flying.

Claudette’s wings aren’t the only ability her demonic side grants her. Claudette’s visual senses are able to be greatly increased, to the point where she can sense magical presences over great distances. This combined with her ability to fly makes her a very useful aerial scout.

Switchblade

A simple, military grade switchblade that Claudette stole from a man sleeping on his porch. The initials L.P. are engraved into the wooden handle.

Bare Fists

Since Claudette fights so close to her opponents with her wings, it's not uncommon for her to throw in some punches and kicks. Preferring not to use her magic unless absolutely necessary, she is quite a skilled bare handed fighter.

Flashlight: Small flashlight that can be easily attached to Claudette's shirt.
Bandages: Handy bandages for a quick patch up. No substitute for proper medical attention.

Joel Descoteaux, 32, Father (Deceased)
Marie Vetrov, 29, Mother (Deceased)
Unknown Demon, Unknown, Surrogate Father (Status Unknown)

Marie and Joel Descoteaux were a happy young couple who had tragically lost their child due to a premature birth. The stillborn child filled their hearts with sorrow, especially when they received news that it was unlikely that Marie would ever be able to conceive a healthy child. Marie fell into depression, eventually resulting in a sinister entity being draw to her negativity.

After the Demon made contact with Marie, it promised her a child of her very own. Eager to accept, Marie was impregnated with a hellish power that grew inside of her as a child that was both human and demon. Claudette's birth filled Marie with joy, but Joel couldn't bare to look at the demonic child; knowing the means that his wife had gone to to bring her into this world. Eventually succumbed by despair, Joel took his own life.

Marie was apathetic to the death of her husband, her mind and body consumed with love for Claudette. She kept the young child cloistered, hidden away from the rest of the world because she did not wish to share her. Though the young Claudette would eventually develop a curiosity of the world around her. One day when she was six, Claudette managed to sneak out of the house to go and play in the forest. There she found many other kids, who gladly invited her to join their game. Of course, not knowing how to socialise properly or how her natural form would be perceived; Claudette spread her demon wings. Frightened by the sudden dark presence, the children fled in fear. That night, the townspeople approached Claudette's home and set it alight with flame. Marie did not survive, sacrificing everything she had to get Claudette away safely.

Claudette flew away into the night, shaken by the loss of her mother and home. A young six year old had no way of surviving on her own, but fortune smiled upon Claudette one evening as she passed out from hunger in the barn of an old farm in the country. The farmer's wife found Claudette, malnourished and on the brink of death. The elderly couple nursed her back to health and gave her a home on the farm. Claudette was hesitant about using her powers around them, but eventually she would have no choice when she witnessed the farmer slip off the roof of the barn while trying to patch it up. Without thinking, Claudette flew up and caught him before he hit the ground. She was expecting the same reaction that the children had, but was instead met with gratitude and adoration.

Claudette spent a few years on the farm, continuing to grow her powers with her foster parents support. As she matured she was able to tell that they could sense the dark presence within her, but that didn't stop them from taking care of her. Whether it was out of love or obligation, Claudette didn't mind. She had a home; that was all that mattered. Though even that wouldn't last. News of the demon child spread, eventually reaching the ears of Demon Hunters. Her first encounter with a hunter was at the age of twelve. The amateur hunter was hoping to score an easy first kill on a weak half-demon. Claudette didn't want to fight, but memories of her mother dying at the hands of those who wishes to destroy her ignited a fire in her eyes. The two battled, eventually leading to Claudette knocking the hunter unconscious. She told the farmer and his wife that they needed to go as far away as they could before yet again running away from her home.

Over the following years, Claudette would encounter many Demon Hunters. She eventually got better at making herself scarce, but this also caused a dramatic shift in her personality. She was now cold and heartless, always fearful of who might be awaiting her behind every corner. A hunter named Orlando Von Schnee played a large part in her fears. The ruthless hunter had been stalking Claudette for over a year. He did not hesitate to kill anyone who may have had contact with her, using the name of God as a means to justify his heinous acts. Claudette quickly learnt that the less people she involved herself with, the better. Though ultimately, she would make her greatest mistake at the age of fifteen. Tired from a long journey, Claudette let her guard down and accepted an offer to stay with a kind single mother with three beautiful young children. She thought one night couldn't hurt. Claudette woke that night to an unsettling presence; or rather the lack of any presence except one very familiar, sickening person.

Rushing downstairs, Claudette witnessed the horrific scene before her. The brief rest she had taken was enough time for Orlando to track her down. He had mercilessly murdered the kind mother who took her in as well as her three children. Claudette felt something that she had never experienced before; unyielding hatred and rage. It was a sickening emotion, one that resonated so well with her demonic soul that it made her sick. Refusing to run anymore, Claudette and Orlando met in battle. Orlando was a skilled mage, but Claudette's unbridled fury gave her a voracious persistence when fighting him. It was so intense that he eventually become overwhelmed and was brought down to the ground by her. Viciously, Claudette tore him to ribbons while screaming vulgarities and cursing all Demon Hunters who thought they had the right to decide whether or not she was allowed to exist.

As the authorities approached the scene, Claudette snapped out of her inhuman rage and did the one thing she was good at; run away. Claudette assumed a fake name and kept to herself from then on. She wouldn't allow anyone else to become close to her, for she had resigned herself to being a curse upon the world. She was a curse who brought death to anyone unfortunate enough to encounter her. Eventually her travels would lead her to Luna Crescente, where she plans to join Golem's Hand as a means to earning a living where she can be completely dependent on herself.
