Clarissa Vansire
400 years ago our ancestor bled and sweat for the preservation of our homelands. Clarissa Vansire proved the might of our family and tenacity of our resolve as she reclaimed our lost lands and beat back the elven menace deep within their Falwood.
Now our great city looks to make peace with the knife-eared creatures who burned our crops, who sacked our manors, and who beat upon the walls of our ancient city.
It is a disgrace and a heresy. Some among my family might stand for it but I will not and I can guarantee you that our great great grandmother, Clarissa Vansire, one of the first Dreadlords, one of the greatest vanguards of our people, is rolling in her grave at the thought of elves living in Vel Anir.

Martial Capabilities
Being trained from a young age Claire is adept at fighting and killing. She typically prefers thin one-handed swords so that she can be fleet of foot. For similar reasons she usually wears leather or light chainmail, preferring to stay mobile over highly defensive.
Corpus Arcanum
Clarissa’s special type of magic is an extremely rare and somewhat volatile blend of the arcane. Her body courses with magic at nearly all times and this magical force can be expelled to shield allies or assault foes.
Once expelled the arcane energy manifests itself in shades of indigo and can be launched outwardly to rip apart terrain, flesh, and even durable metals depending upon the strength of the onslaught. The energy can also be used defensive to create powerful barriers inbetween Claire and her foes.
Of course, this energy courses through her so to expel it means sacrificing the use of parts of her body. Perhaps she simply causes one of her fingers to go numb and become unusable. Or she may need enough power that one of her arms is forced limp until the arcane energy finishes its task and returns to her body. In dire circumstances she may expel the entirety of her magic and cause her entire body to slip into unconsciousness while her magic rips apart anything before her on the battlefield.
Some have theorized it could be possible for her to suffer permanent damage from overuse of the rare indigo magic while others wonder if she could possibly expel so much arcane power as to bring down battalions of foes in a single, horrific, blast of destruction.
