Claire is so good at lying that she can convince even HERSELF that she's telling the absolute truth. In most cases, she doesn't need to roll anything to stand up to questioning or interrogation; her words will ring of truth. Even for magical attempts at discerning whether or not she's telling the truth (House Gwydion ability, Truth of Gaia gift, whatever), all she needs is a single success on a Willpower roll (difficulty 7) to have everything she says come across as the absolute truth, regardless of how much she may or may not be lying her ass off.

Glorious Dawn

Claire was born in Camp Verde, Arizona, as the youngest of three daughters. Her family was reasonably well off, and she rarely lacked for anything while growing up. If anything, she may have been a little bit spoiled as a child, but she was definitely happy. She seemed so utterly innocent, and was quick to make friends. She certainly wasn't the one getting bullied in school; indeed, a lot of the 'bullies' seemed to be protecting her.

Zenith

As she grew from a small child to a young woman, Claire's circle of friends just grew and grew. She was the popular one, the trendsetter, the queen bitch of the school. She was developing a somewhat dark, sinister streak at this stage, but almost nobody noticed; as far as outward appearances were concerned, she was a paragon of virtue, someone to look up to, someone to emulate. Still, earning her displeasure was often... unhealthy. Oh, she'd never lay hands on anyone herself, but she didn't have to. She had other people for that.

Dusk

After graduating from highschool (with considerably higher grades than she technically should have gotten), Claire apparently grew restless. She'd do the whole college bit later, she'd say. She disappeared from time to time, generally with some excuse that was perfectly plausible but not actually true. She'd spend quite a lot of time travelling around Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Texas, with the occasional foray into California and Utah. Why, she'd either not say or just plain lie about. Her family thought she was trying to 'find herself'.

By now, Claire has moved to California, settling into Prospect. By day, she's a charming socialite; by night, a professional (if harsh) dominatrix. Or maybe, just maybe, she's something else entirely...
