Character
Description
Soar Claymore enters Castleton as the duteous first daughter of House Claymore of Arma, the twin to second born Anri Claymore. This title of heir was appointed only due to mere minutes between the birth of her and her sister. With their mother being the Spymaster for Arma and a father she barely knows, Soar and Anri spent their childhood entertaining and raising themselves.
With the title of eldest, Soar, unlike her sister, was to be molded to be the perfect spy. Not able to shirk the responsibility of a job destined to her by birthright, Soar is an intensely secretive individual. It is hard to say if any singular individual truly knows the person that hides behind a facade of respectability and class.
Soar stands at a respectable 5’7”, skin a light shade of pastel blue and platinum white hair she keeps cut just above her shoulders. Her honey brown eyes are kept soft, a similarly soft smile typically gracing her visage. If one dares to look deeper (most rarely do) her gaze is ever shifting and analytical, guard rarely dropping.
Storylines
Background
Ever the dutiful daughter, Soar spent her childhood being molded into the "perfect little spy" to one day take on the mantle of Spymaster to Arma, the Lady Inquistor and head of the Catval. A title kept on a strictly need to know basis with Soar only holding the title of a noble lady and nothing more. While her younger sister spent time sneaking out and exploring their hometown, Soar remained isolated at home learning the tools of the trade. Having the adverse effect of closing off Soar emotionally, duty and a sense of protection over Anri that overrid most else in her life. With the matching season at the Castle upon her Soar becomes resolute in her goal to make sure she leaves the Castle alive with her sister and cousin, Amina Monsoon, and that both are taken care of.
Castleton Part 1
The Claymore family opens with Anri and Soar sharing a breakfast with one another. Anri, the younger of the twins, heavily concerns herself with Soar's wellbeing. During this, a knock is heard at the door marking the arrival of their cousin, Lady Amina and her mother, who have moved back to Arma to reestablish themselves in the kingdom in the wake of her fathers death.
As both families make their way to the Castle via airship, the Claymore family established themselves casually with the Glaives, Troyllus, and his daughter Skylark, with Soar entertaining the young girl with light music and magics as Anri supported her sisters endeavors. Upon arriving at the Castle the twins' respectable entrance is overshadowed by Aminas entrance that quickly followed theirs. In an attempt to help out Soar, Anri tries and fails to direct the tons attention to Soar. Rather than elevating her image to the ton, Anri attracts the ire of the ton for her attempt to elevate her sister's appearance to the crowd.
The Claymore twins make a head turning entrance into the inaugural ball of the season, quickly splitting ways to chat with potential matches on the floor. Soar engages in conversation and a dance with Prince Elyan, second born prince of Cerul, before chaos erupts on the floor. Deciding it's better to ally with the prince then gain an unnecessary enemy, the two stick together in the fray and make it out alive and well. When the chaos comes to an end Soar quickly finds Amina and when unable to spot her twin, the two leave to the Claymore estate.
Unbeknownst to Soar and Amina, Anri had taken an injured Troyllus Gladius and his daughter Skylark into their estate to shelter them from any fallout that occurred in the ballroom the night prior. The scandal this could potentially create causes a rift between the twins as Anri decides to declare with Troyllus to avoid the ire of the ton, much to the dissatisfaction of Soar.
Following the departure of Anri from the Claymore estate, Soar and Amina are left to their own devices. There are attempts from Soar to bond with Amina to make up for the guilt she feels over the rift within the household. Despite the turmoil within her own walls, Soar throws herself into work and keeps up public image by going on outings with prospective matches. These outings all unchaperoned much to the begrudgement of Soar due to the further scandal such actions could draw.
After a failed date with Cassian Scythe, ending in an offer of help rather than romance, Soar sets her sights back to the second prince of Cerul. Forming a connection with Elyan, first based in convenience, but later an air of affection growing between the pair.
Attending the Masquerade with Amina, Soar spends the party drinking the provided alcohol and avoiding her sister who is also in attendance. When the party ends in a decree of non violence throughout the Castle for all, Soar heads home with Amina to figure out what this means for House Claymore.
Castleton Part 2
Following the masquerade, Soar receives a missive from prince Elyan requesting an audience at his estate. Arriving at the house Soar finds it crowded with several individuals from the ton, one of which being Ardena Mace, a baroness also hailing from Arma. At the Torrent estate she is asked to help the prince discover who is attempting to poison Miles Kingsbrook, a duke and close personal friend to the king of Cerul. Soar agrees to get to the bottom of this plot and upon leaving has a discussion with Ardena about also helping her and her family after the return of a supposed pirate Ardena had cut down at the inaugural ball. Not only promising help but revealing to the baroness that she is a spy for their nation, a fact she hasn't shared with anyone outside her family who didn't already know.
What follows for Soar is being brought into a secret council within Armas royals that was created by Desta following the death of the empress, news hidden from the ton at large. Tier privately asks Soar to keep an eye out for information on the Nameless Blades while Soar asks in return for Tiers help in keeping Prince Gideon of Cerul and Veyrah Armadeum together, stating its a matter of preventing war between the nations. Finding her loyalty for Arma to not be the strongest, she shares some information received within this council with not only prince Elyan but Ardena as well.
Spending more time with Elyan and Ardena as she uses helping them as an escape from her own problems, she finds herself growing fond of both of them.
Soar then attends Fallyn's Garden Party with Tier Armadeum as her date, imparting knowledge to the royal about the Nameless Blades and Ben's connection to the group is revealed to her. Upon arriving at the party, Tier leaves Soars side to chase after Millie Mace. Minutes later she is approached by Ardena Mace to talk about their situation with Elyan. Ardena leads Soar to a private section of the garden to further discuss beyond the eyes of the ton. Soar breaks and asked to be kissed by Ardena and she obliges with a heated kiss. This kiss between the two is caught by the demigod of Gluttony, the two are offered a deal by the temptress to help whatever situation they both have with prince Elyan. With Gluttony leaving the two women in the garden to ponder this deal, Soar further reveals to Ardena her confusion and frustration over her expectations for the Castle and confirms she has grown fond of both Ardena and Elyan.
Days later Soar finds herself at Elysium, a club known for its debaucherous nature, to seek out Gluttony. After a sexually charged interaction with the demigod, Soar reveals her desire to match with both Elyan and Ardena, stating that “wanting” is new to her. Soar asks for a shot at attempting to find something “real”, Gluttony asks her to prove it and says she will help her have fun. Soar shares with Gluttony she is willing to fight to have both Elyan and Ardena so a pact is created in blood after Gluttony bites Soars wrist.
At the Cloud Ball, Soar arrives as Prince Elyans date and they take the floor in a dazzling display. Ardena Mace quickly joins them on the dance floor and the three publicly waltz in front of the entire ton. When Elyan and Ardena break from the dance, Soar is approached by Lyre Larke, another warlock of Gluttony. Lyre and Soar discuss their relationship with Gluttony, Lyre sharing that Soar should embrace this newfound power and a tentative friendship between the two is born. With the encouragement of Lyre, Soar seeks out Elyan and Ardena to discuss their relationship. When Elyan shows resistance to attempting to continue the season together, Soar reaches out to Gluttony for help. Given the chance to sway the indulgence of one of her partners, Soar picks Elyan to influence. In doing so Soar unknowingly hardens Elyan to the idea to being with her and Ardena. As this conversation/argument is occurring it is interrupted by the arrival of the King of Cerul, Elyans father.
