A kind young Drifter with a good heart and a cool ARM. Growing up on the open road with her ruin raider of a mother, Clarissa is a young explorer with a deep curiosity about the world, but she doesn't have the same sort of avarice for money and power many Drifters and Geohounds fall prey to. Instead, she dreams of a Filgaia which is green and verdant again, and she hopes to do what she can to make that a reality. Armed with the mysterious ARM known as Strahl Gewehr, which only she can wield for some reason, Clarissa is dedicated not only to helping wherever she feels she can, but to pursuing her nemesis, the notorious Drifter Rupert Dandridge, and recovering Iskender Bey, the weapon he stole from her mother. Clarissa is tough at heart, but compassionate and honest - indeed, there's not much in the world she hates other than lies. But she herself may be a walking lie: Her resemblance to Alexia, the late Princess Royal of Elesius, is so perfect that people from those lands can't help but think she's royalty.
Background
Clarissa's hometown is a bit hazy, but she's the child of a well-known ruin diver by the name of Melissa Arwin.
For the past couple of years, Clarissa has been pursuing the infamous Drifter known as Rupert Dandridge, who stole a weapon called Iskender Bey - an advanced blade-ARM favoured by Clarissa's mother. Clarissa has operated mainly in the vicinity of Aquvy, both pursuing Rupert and seeking certain ancient secrets she believes will save Filgaia, though her pursuit took her into the path of the nascent organization known as ARMS.
Powers and Abilities
- Strahl Gewehr: Clarissa carries an unusual ARM known as Strahl Gewehr. Rather than a standard bullet-shooting firearm, Strahl Gewehr fires extremely long-range energy blasts which appear more like magic than technology. Clarissa has had the ARM for most of her life, though she couldn't tell you where she got it - only that it's been with her for a long time and has been her lucky charm since she was a little girl.
- Encouragement: The purity of Clarissa's belief in her companions shines through any time she cheers them on. Her conviction is such that even an encouraging word from her can tangibly bolster weak spirits or aid flagging hearts. Her cheers, in other words, actually buff.
- Squall Staff: A staff Clarissa found in a chest on the Thunder Plains. It's a simple staff with a minor water enchantment. It's Clarissa's weapon of choice at close range, even if she mostly uses it for improvised bopping.

Truest Companion
|
"I almost don't remember a time when he hasn't been by my side. I could never ask for a more loyal friend, and I know that I can trust him, no matter what we go through. We may not be brother and sister by blood, but he means that much to me! Sometimes I wonder what he dreams about...."

Tall Mystery
|
"She seems to be very menacing at first, but she was also kind enough to let us explore the ancient ruins of her people, and didn't mind me seeing the secrets there. I wonder what her story is?"

"I've never seen someone with dragons for shoulders before! I'm glad Mr. Ashton was there during that battle in Elluria. He seems like someone who has a good heart."

"They seem very dedicated to their cause and their faith. It's hard to get much out of them, but I think I was starting to see flashes of their emotion once we got to know each other a little. I'd like to learn more about what they're all about."

"I don't really know what to make of her. I think there might be something wrong with her. All I know for sure is that I don't think she's honest with herself about what kind of person she really is and where her beliefs will take her, and I don't think she and I have anything in common at all!"

"He's even quieter than Felius...."

Kindness Singularity

"Jacqueline is such a nice person! I can tell she wants to do her best for people and help Filgaia as best she can. That means we're the same in a lot of ways! I think we can be great friends...."

A Real Life Pirate!!
|
"Oh my gosh, a real-life pirate - and she doesn't seem to be a jerk, either! She seems like she's very cool and sly. In some ways she reminds me of my mom. I mean, with additional criming."

"I wonder why she thinks nobody can see her? I don't think she's invisible, anyway. Either way, she must've been hidden away for a long time. She seems like a very nice person, though...."

Ragamuffin Ghost

"He really does seem like a bit of a ragamuffin at first, but I also think he's very kind! I don't know much about Seraphim, though."

Don't Play With Matches

"At first I wanted to think Commander Vinsfeld had intentions that came from a good place, even if his means were misguided. And he has such a beautiful way of speaking. But his heart is so full of grief and anger that I think he's forgotten what real compassion looks like. I don't think I'm even angry at him. I think I just... pity him. Or I would, if we ever see Filgaia again...."

"I understand why Marivel had to be circumspect about her identity. As much as it makes me uncomfortable to be so closed-off about things, it makes sense. And her heart is in the right place. If I can help her stop Commander Vinsfeld, maybe we can do some good for Filgaia together!"

"Wow, an actual journalist! That must be a really cool career. I wonder where her career will take her. I just wish she didn't think that Rupert was my boyfriend or something. Hmph...."

"She seems like she's just a little sly, but also kind of drifts off into thought sometimes. I hope she's alright. She often seems to have a lot on her mind...."

Mechanical Muffin

"I've seen a lot of interesting things at the bottoms of ruins, but never a mechanical person! She seems to be very sweet, in a way. I wonder where she came from."

Has a Cool ARM

"I wonder where her ARM came from? Either way, she seems like a good person, and very enthusiastic about things. I should get to know her better...."
