History:

♠ Ville du cirque - Normal is special ♠

Born April 26, 2 minutes to midnight, a lively 9.10 pounds, 51 cm long baby girl. It was raining hard outside the Verschaffelt Manor where her parents lived, but as sad as it was to say, they died the very same day. Marie Antoinette(her mother) died of giving birth to her ,and Louie Jacques (her father) shot.

And so, the servants took care of her, leaving the Verschaffelt and the dark events that happened that dreaded night. The servants who once served the Verschaffelt, were traveling entertainers, doing magic acts all across the world, and they lived in a place called "Ville du cirque" or "Circus town", which is where Claire grew up for the most of her life.

(8 years of age)
People who lived in Ville du cirque were special in there own unique way. They dance, sing, eat fire, make fire, turn into fire, everyone had something special all except her.

"Listen, Claire" her foster father said. "You dont need to be like everyone else in Cirque to be special" patting her head he gave her a hand clock inside it a picture of a man and a woman with the word Verschaffelt engraved over the golden colored casing. "You just need to be your self, cause you alone is enough."

But her papa's words made her even more restless. She tried to sing, to dance, but they all just laughed at her. tried eating fire, walking on thin wires and on water, but non of them were ever cut out for her, until she came over a mysterious box lying on the middle of the road.


♠ Cœur Noir Piratas - The fall of Ville du cirque ♠

Bringing the mysterious box with her, she stared at it, wondering what was inside of it, it didn't look like anything special, if anything, it looked like trash, but she still took it home with her.

"Claire, are you ready yet?" her Ma called, it was her Pa's show night, he's gonna battle with 5 lions in the Cirque stadium, an event that everyone anticipated for for weeks time now. The last person who battled with the 5 lions of cirque ended up dead, so it was a highly anticipated.

Claire on the other hand already knew her Pa could win it, but was more curious as to what was inside the box.

"We should get going Claire." She had no choice but to leave the thoughts for later, and so she did. As expected from her Pa, he battled with the 5 lions spectacularly, he finished with a blast of fireworks shooting towards the skies, but it was also the same time that pirates had invaded the village.

Women and children were asked to evacuate to the safest area immediately, but all the men of sot to it themselves, to get rid of the pirates with what strength they could muster. All men, including her Pa.

Far from the village already, Claire had to look back, her Pa was still there, they were far, but the lights of the village embers of a battle lost, and there intuition was right, it was a battle lost, for from where they were headed, awaited an ambush.

"Claire, run" her mother yelped, people of her village died in front of her, this merciless, heartless creatures called pirates have killed the village who made fun of her, but truly cherished within the depths of her heart.

Kneeling on the dirt and crying both at the same time, Claire was in shock and was unable to move at all so her mother took her, and ran through the deep dark forest, but the pirates were catching up to them, Claire was still in shock until an explosion caused both of them to catapult from the impact.

Fainting from the crash, her senses were only then returning to her, opening an eye, the vision of her mother reaching out for her seemingly screaming was repeated over and over until from out of no where a blade plunges through her body, ending her life, this scene woke her up completely. Everyone...

Everyone she knew, they are now... all dead...

Looking up over the dark figure who killed her mother, she was speeches, but neither scared nor anything. She was numb, and was looking straight at the man in front of her, but not seeing him, but through him, out into the open. Her life no longer made sense, she knew she didn't belong to the village for being different, but at least they accepted her wholly, but now this acceptance is gone, and only death was waiting for her.

The large figure of the man infront of her smirked over her, pitying her, a pity she did not need, he did not kill her instead, turned away, sheathed his blade and walked away, from the smoke and the alterations the hue of fire made to her vision, there was only one thing visible, the frame of the mans back, the captain of what they called the Cœur Noir Piratas, the symbol of a skill biting a doubled edged sword.

It was indeed the fall of Ville du cirque, everyone died... all except her...

♠ au revoir - Last resolve ♠

Falling asleep from sheer exhaustion, she found her self still sitting somewhere within the woods. Her mothers dead body was infront of her, by the looks of it, her body was already stiff, cold and decaying, slowly. Silently, she dug her head infront her bended knees as if she was trying to cry, but couldn't, instead she laughed, laughed so loud for each and dead body to hear. It was the beginning of her insanity.

She picked them up, every single one of the dead bodies and sent them in place, the vendor on her shop, the farmer on the fields, the fire eater on the plaza center, the juggler on the fountain. She clapped infront of the performers and ran around the village happily greeting everyone, but it there was no response, everyone and everyone she knew.... was dead.

She went back to the stadium where she last saw her Pa, the lions were already dead, blood was everywhere.

She spent most of the day staring blankly into nothing, then snap back and run around laughing. By the end of the day, there was only one place to go left, she went home. Her mothers body was nicely placed on the mothers chair and her fathers body on the fathers chair, she sat on the Claire chair and told them about her day. How she played, and ran, and greeted everybody, and on how she tried walking on the wires again. But only silence greeted her.

This was when she cried, cried so much that it would've flooded if not for being so little. She misses everyone, she misses her friends, her pa her ma, she wanted to special, and now she's granted special treatment, life.

She remembered what her father told her. "You dont need to be like everyone else in Cirque to be special, you just need to be your self, cause you alone is enough."

When all she has is her self, theirs nothing else to do but to go with it, knowing this, she wiped her tears and prepared to leave. She went back into her room and then again saw the box, angered by it, she kicked it and it opened all on its own.

She ran towards it and saw a weird looking fruit inside, seeing it, her stomach growled, she was hungry, she hasn't eaten for 2 days, and food presented its self in a weird looking fruit, she ate it, all of it, and left with just a pair of clothes and the hand watch her pa gave her.

She burned the entire village down and set fort a new goal in life, be her self in her own unique way as an avenger of Ville du cirque. Leaving, it was only then that travelers visited the village and saw what its become only seeing her lone figure walking away, the immediately assumed she killed everyone and burned it to the ground.

It was days later that news about an 8 year old girl spread through out the world, killing an entire village of entertainers and burning it to the ground. By then she was already at the docks prepared to head out towards the sea when all of the suddenly she fell towards the water, then something happened, she couldn't swim, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't muster to move her body. She thought she was really gonna time this time, but thanks to a mysterious pirate, she was saved. He scolded her, but she just laughed at him, he frowned at her, but she smiled at him. "I'm Claire." she said. "Otoha." he arogantly said before leaving her where she lay.



♠ Mon voyage - Current wanderings♠

Going through so much, she could only really be her self, not only could she no longer swim, but she started releasing cards from one area of her body to the other, it was really bothersome at first, but she's gotten used to it through time.

It has been 8 years since the attack on her village and leaving it, yet she hasnt been able to move towards her goal to avenge her village. While she worked her self to track Cœur Noir actions, she was no where near them. But recent news about them spread through out west blue, they said that Cœur Noir entered the grand line, the deadliest sea of them all.

So she set for on a journey towards grandline, but on her current situation, she didn't have the luxury to avail anything, from a ship, to a well working crew, she only has her self, and her self alone. Still.

Personality:
Claire is mostly childish and lazy, she easily gets bored with normalcy of life. Growing up in a village filled with world renowned entertainers did her amusement in simple things no good, she always wanted extravagant things. When she does something it had to be exaggerated to the point of disbelief. Despite her never ending boredom, she always liked fooling around and tricking people, but aside all that she's hiding her true self under a mask she made to protect her self from people.

A trickster, she has no real face, she always only wear a face to face life, but never the face to face reality. Her personality is like the Joker card, while one person holds it for victory, the other avoids it for defeat, its the irony of life, and Claire is that joker card, one second she's your best friend, the next she's your worst nightmare.
