Claire Anderson

Name: Clare Anderson
Nickname/Alias: OMDS-01 (her codename in her father's unit, nobody calls her that nowadays)
Gender: F
Age: Assumed to be around 19
Birthday: Celebrates July the 7th because that'd the day her dad found her, doesn't know her real one
Sexual Orientation: Aromantic
Alignment: Lawful Neutral (within herself there is a conflict between the absolute devotion to laws, which she inherited from her military father, and her own moral code, which conflicts, sometimes radically, with the written rules. And mind you, she is not above setting people on fire if she deems it necessary)
Race: Human

Personality: As a result of her upbringing, Claire isn't very feminine. Brash, confrontational and quick-tempered, she is costantly in a foul mood, mostly because she is not fond of magic nor of the nakama-driven antics that seem to be the backbone of most guilds, so she is not very happy of being caught, against her will, in this whole guild mage business. She does understand that, in order to learn how to keep her power in check, she needs the guidance of a magic guild but... She still cannot bring herself to like it. This causes her to come off as grumpy and unfriendly.
In truth, she actually has a kind side, which mostly comes out around children (she is very fond of them), it's just that... She isn't good at expressing it. Growing up, her only parental figure was her foster father, a military man who was extraordinarily talented in battle strategy, but not so much in anything else. He taught her how to repair weapons and how to quickly come up with the best strategy in combat situations, but as far as social skills go... His teachings weren't as thorough.
At her core, Claire is a girl who learned to punch long before she learned to kiss. At times, she does feel bad about being so unfriendly, and wishes she was more feminine. At the same time, excessively feminine girls, specially bold, flirtatious girls around her age, piss her off to no end, so it's hard for her to make up her mind. This is reflected, for example, in the way she dresses: she wouldn't be caught dead wearing a mini-skirt to show off her legs, but the hotpants she does wear are just as revealing. She secretly started picking up feminine hobbies, in the hope that they'd help her mellow out if only a little bit.
Likes:

Action movies: If there is something that gets her in a good mood, is to watch some fast-paced, martial arts-filled action movie. Action is all she has been knowing throughout her entire life so far, so it's only natural she would appreciate the gender over, say, romantic comedies. She is a massive fan of popular action movie actors, to the point that meeting one could cause her to squee and start fangirling and drooling very un-Claire-ly.

Children: She is fond of them. For reasons even her doesn't understand, she can connect in a way she cannot with people her age: she is capable of saying the sweetest things to a kid and to shout insults at another girl her age in the same breath.

Embroidery: Believe it or not. It's actually her favorite hobby, what with her trying to pick up more feminine hobbies in a voluntary (and unsuccesful, so far) attempt at mellowing out, if only a bit.

Dislikes:

Magic: A dislike she took from her father. Having inherited his pragmatic, military, down-to-heart mindset, she is very wary of a force that transcends the laws of physics, and of people who would use it to take on mundane jobs requested by civilians. Imagine how happy she is of being a mage herself... Although if you point out this contraddiction, she will punch you.

Women who flaunt their womanliness: She considers "too feminine" females to be her enemies, as part of her overall conflicting feelings about how she lives her own womanliness: she wishes she was more feminine, but at the same time her military background prevents her from getting the appeal of a dress, or of an elaborate haircut. And as always when she is conflicted about something she takes it out on others, given that she doesn't know of any other way of expressing her feelings. She particularly hates those who would wear skimpy, revealing clothes to attract attention: if you point out that her own clothes are quite revealing, she will punch you.

High society events: gala balls, charity events, the kind of stuff you need to attend in a fancy dress, and where you are expected to dance. The reason is the same as above: she grew up in training fields, her concept of "sharing personal space with a male" involves wrestling, not social dancing. And she cannot shake the feeling that the girls who do attend such events regularly look down on her (this is actually a complex she developed, because her "different" upbringing causes her to feel inadequate and she tends to take it out on others as a result, much like is the case with dresses and the other things explained in the point above), which is why she hates them with a passion and, if you dare to do as much as to ask her "shall we dance?", she will punch you.

Motivations: (3 minimum along with a sentence explaining why it motivates you)

Finding out the truth about her past: She cannot remember anything of her life before that fateful day, when general Edmund Anderson (who at the time was a mere captain) found and adopted her. Who are her real parents? How did she obtain her monstrous magic power? Was she really raised by a dragon, as apparently is the case with most Dragon Slayers? To find the answers to these questions is the main goal of her life.

Making her father proud: She is fully aware that the way her father educated her was rather lacking, but she at least acknowledges that he tried hard, and genuinely loves him for it. She still finds it hard to understand why such a military man, who lived alone in a small flat with no sign of female presence, would take her in and raise her on his own, but she is very thankful to him for it, and wants to make him proud of her as a way of giving something back.

Conquering her fears: being afraid is "a feeling for girly girls", as she would put it. She genuinely hates to be afraid, so she wants to be brave and shake her fears off. She hasn't done that great of a job so far.

Fears:

Finding out the truth about her past: What if it is something atrocious? What if she is some kind of monster cursed, not blessed, with that terrible power she has? What if her father regrets taking her in? She wants to know the truth about her past, but at the same time she is genuinely terrified of what she might find.

Her own magic power: Why does she possess this fearsome magic? Why doesn't she have full control of it? Why is it so destructive? For a person like her, who doesn't trust magic and mages, finding out to be one of the very rare people capable of using magic would already be a shock in itself. But of all the forms of magic she could have, she ended up with one of the scariest.

Vehicles: Well she IS a Dragon Slayer, after all.

Hair: Short, white
Eyes: Golden, with a slight red shading.
Skin: White, slightly tanned
Height: 175cm (5'8.9")
Weight: 63kg (138.6 lbs)

Special Characteristics: It's hard to tell, but her pupils are slightly vertical, not full-on reptilian but not completely human either. Think of those of a cat. Also, she is left-handed.


Guild: Wandering (for now, I do plan to join a guild eventually)
Guild Mark Location: Right hip
Guild Mark Color: Black
Rank: C (already approved)

Sexual Orientation: Punch-sexual (you do as much as to make a pass at her, you get punched)

As funny as it is, sexual orientation means what gender is your character is attract to? If none, you can always put Aromantic

I see you get the general gist of the one sentence, however this doesn't explain to me why Claire likes these things so much. May you elaborate why she likes these?

Like about I see you get the general gist of the section but it still doesn't explain why you dislike both of these things.

Bump when edits are made~

There you go.

Approved!
