[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Claire O’Sullivan, who calls herself part of the "Terrible Trio" along with Zoey Gray and June Summers (though no one actually calls them that), grew up quickly and harshly in Cornell. Once the cheerful daughter of diner owners, she watched her family fall apart after a shady deal caused their business to collapse, leaving her parents bitter, angry, and dependent on alcohol. Abuse became commonplace, and young Claire quickly learned that surviving meant fighting back or fleeing. Her resilience was driven by necessity, not choice.

Tough, defiant, and fiercely independent, Claire doesn’t trust easily and rarely seeks help. She has a sharp tongue, a quick temper, and a reputation for fighting, petty theft, and reckless behavior—but beneath that exterior, she is fiercely loyal to the few people she truly trusts.

The warehouse party she hosted was supposed to be a night of control and escape—but things went terribly wrong. When a tear in reality appeared, and the attack started, Claire’s instincts took over. During the chaos, she experienced her Kindling Event, igniting her Yellow Lux. The experience left her exhilarated, terrified, and profoundly changed.

Since then, Claire has begun learning to control her Abstraction. Though still impulsive and brash, the memory of that night—the screams, the falling bodies, the world bending—continues to influence her. She understands her responsibilities to those she considers “her people” and is increasingly aware of how her power can protect them. She isn’t a master yet, but her determination and instincts are sharper than ever, sharpened by a single terrifying night that forced her to grow up instantly.

[indent][b]Aura Shell:[/b] A magical barrier hovers just above Claire’s skin, shielding her from harm. It instinctively responds to danger and her intense emotions, but can be unreliable; sometimes flickering, lagging, or breaking under stress. Claire can also extend the barrier around objects she touches to protect or strengthen them, giving her brief moments of increased power. She catches glimpses of its full potential, such as protecting others or reacting preemptively, but since the spell is still new, she’s learning to control its timing, shape, and strength. Each use serves as both practice and discovery, influenced by her instincts and emotions as she advances her mastery of Yellow Lux.[/indent]
