Personality
Clarice is an intensely passionate young woman who knows when to make a stand and is not afraid to speak her mind. Having lost much of her childhood, she still retains a certain innocence and desire to connect to a familial figure. She is a driven, goal-oriented person. As a result, she is very determined and proactive against the forces of evil. She does not like to waste time and that applies to professional matters as well as personal. Her conversation is most often direct and to the point and expects others to do the same. She believes in honesty and interacts with others with a no nonsense attitude unless she has built a bond with that person, which is not easily given. There is nothing closer than family or friends and would easily lay down her life for them. Equally, she is willing to kill for them, if she is pushed to emotional extremes or if she feels the action is just. However, she draws a hard moral line in the difference between killing and murdering. She values life and will do what she can to protect it.
