Eclaire (PC)

Eclaire is the newest person living with the twin witches Virgo and Margo in the Lavorne Mansion. Eclaire previously defected from the Empire and the Maevisine Paladine after she was wrongfully accused of conspiring with the Lavornes at the second-ever Witches' Convention at the Coop during Episode 2.

Appearance
Eclaire is a well-groomed, relatively tall Alberean lady of good standing and manners. She has kind-hearted eyes and a warm smile that she doesn't don sparingly. Eclaire has only ever been seen wearing her Witches' Association uniform and Empireal army helmet, but seems to make an effort to always make them appear just a tad nicer with accessories such as bows and broches.

Personality
Eclaire is fiercely loyal, strong-minded, and determined in her ideals and beliefs. So much so that it is sometimes very hard to get her to open up her outlook on life to more nuanced ideas and understandings than the ones she was taught as part of the Alberean aristocracy. However, Eclaire is fundamentally kind-hearted and peace-loving in nature.

Biography
Before the Mansion Although she may not seem like it at first glance, Eclaire is a warrior from the proud and noble House Maevis, one of the most well-known lines of nobility that survived the mass-dismantling of the old Alberean aristocracy prior to the rise of the Alberean Empire. House Maevis and its famous knights, of which Eclaire is one of... less... renown, is (and has always been) one of the emperor's most trusted allies. As such, they were granted military stewardship over the magnificent Alberean city of Septon nearly 70 years ago. This city with its famous waterways and immense canals is also where Eclaire was born and raised. Septon is a city of abundance and culture, with a thriving middle class. Since the annexation of Doren by the Alberean empire, Septon has functioned as the gateway between the two regions, guarding the mountainpass betwixt them. House Maevis maintains a famous cathedral called 'the Celestuon' in Septon, in which a large library of historic annals and theological works on the Alberean faith are kept. It is considered one of the most important buildings of the faith in Alberea, and provides a daily religious mass to the people of Septon, where the devout come to collectively sing celestial hymns. Eclaire's tutelage during her youth consisted of scripture-classes on the Faith of the Chant, combat training by the finest of Maevian Paladine, and military strategy to prepare her for a life of servitude to the emperor. However, Eclaire was never really top of her class in anything but the choir, which she enjoyed most of all...
