Clare's Rapid Rise of Succession Over Teresa As The Most Powerful Being Of All Time:
As Human Child
1. Little Clare watches her parents get killed by a yoma, and than watches as a claymore kills the yoma in front of her.
2. Clare, now as an orphan, is not picked up by the Organization, but instead falls prey to being another yoma's toy being dragged town to town. She is beaten up badly by the yoma, and possibly sexually abused as well, though there's no direct mention of it. Yet, still Clare continues on, wow!
3. Than in one such town, a claymore, named Teresa, appears and kills 6 yomas. The last yoma is Clare's “master”. Teresa cuts the yoma in half and each half falls to the left and right of an un-phased Clare.
4. Clare see's the same despair and lifelessness in Teresa's eyes as in her own. Clare walks up and clings to Teresa.
5. Teresa, THEE MOST POWERFUL BEING OF ALL TIME, kicks little Clare, not once, but 3 times! Yet, Clare doesn't die, wow !
6. Clare is able to follow and keep up with Teresa.
7. Teresa hops down the cliff they are walking on the top of. Clare follows. She splats once on a ledge on the way down and again on the ground. Yet, still Clare isn't dead. Wow!
8. Teresa returns, finding Clare still unconscious (actually dehydrated) on the ground, and they finally hook-join up.
9. Clare and Teresa fall in love with each other (not sexually!). Clare tries to stop Teresa from getting raped by a bandit, and in turn gets brutally kicked-stomped on by the bandit. Teresa than saves Clare from getting killed by the bandit.
10. Teresa leaves Clare in the town nearby, but it gets attacked by the bandits now that Teresa had killed the yoma.
11. Teresa rushes back, finding Clare being dragged by the bandit that had tried to rape Teresa. Teresa kills the bandit and saves Clare. Teresa than kills all of the rest of the bandits.
12. Clare traveling with Teresa (with what should have been permanently), watches as Teresa is hunted and ultimately killed by an about to awaken claymore, named Pricilla.
13. Clare had nothing, no life. Than she met Teresa, and had something, a life. But, than she lost Teresa, Teresa was Clare's everything, Clare lost everything to Priscilla.
14. Clare, having watched her beloved Teresa decapitated right before her eyes, picks up Teresa's head and searches for an agent of the Organization. Clare just doesn’t know when to stop, when to give up!
15. Clare just happens to find one, and none other than Rubel/Louvre.
16. Clare demands to join the Organization (the first and maybe only one) on her own will and to be made into a claymore by having Teresa's head implanted into her.
17. Rubel/Louvre, gladly accepts, for his own dark and sinister reasons....
As a Trainee Claymore
18. The other claymores are uneasy about Clare, as she isn't like them. Clare is the only claymore made not from a yoma, but instead from another claymore, and not just any claymore, but the most powerful of all time, Teresa.
19. This causes one claymore (an older one) to want to challenge Clare in a fight, to see if Clare is more powerful or weaker than her. While in early training, Clare is coerced into fight by this claymore, when she (Clare) is still too weak to even pick up a claymore, let alone wield it. Yet, Clare does so, dislocating her shoulder out of her socket as she tries to swing it in the fight against this other claymore.
20. This other claymore laughs and turns away, thinking the fight is over. But, Clare smashes her dislocated shoulder against the wall, re-locating it back into the socket, and readies to fight against the other claymore with her jaw now hanging open. Rubel though shows up and stops the fight and ends the practice for that day.
21. For the final test before becoming an official active-duty claymore, Clare ends up not only being the only one to pass the test (killing a yoma), but also saves the very claymore who she had fought with earlier from getting killed. This is when Clare losses the long hair she had, and now is stuck permanently with her grown-up short hair we are familar with.
As a Ranked Claymore
22. Clare becomes a rank #47 claymore, with only 25% yoma (compared to 50% yoma) due to being implanted with Teresa (another claymore), and seemingly very weak-puny-tiny yoki and yoma power, hence her rank #47 (the lowest for the weakest claymore).
23. However, Rubel/Louvre, wanted it that way. He never told about the fight and how tough Clare was, smashing her shoulder into the wall to re-locate it after just dis-locating it from trying to use a claymore before she was strong enough to and ready to swing the claymore again. He probably also lied and said that the other older claymore had killed the yoma and not Clare or if that couldn't work, he down-played Clare's amazing performance in that final test.
24. Rubel/Louvre didn't want the Organization to find out just how potentially powerful this experiment with Clare is turning out to be. Clare was his "trump card" against the Organization, if Rafaela failed. Rubel/Louvre was actually a spy for the Dragon Kin and trying to destroy the Organization.
25. Clare kills a yoma in a town with ease and saves a boy-teen named raki, who now knows he's an orphan (since his last remaining family, his brother, was already eaten by the yoma, which the yoma used as a disguise for itself).
26. Clare kills her only friend Claymore from when she was a Trainee Claymore, and Raki had to cry for her, as she was still cold and emotionless, at this point in time.
