Anri Claymore
Character
Description
In Castleton, Anri Claymore is introduced as the impetuous and vigilant second daughter of House Claymore of Arma, the lady and twin to the first born Soar Claymore. Her unrelenting mother as the Spymaster for Arma and her father were largely absent, leaving Soar and Anri to raise each other. She is a warlock to Scrios, the Demigod of Entropy, who is just as absent from her life as her father and mother.
Anri is content to remain far from courtly intrigues but is unwavering in her view of duty as a Lady of Arma. Finding herself a key player in the escalating feud between two families, Glaive and Gladius, Anri struggles as her own sense of duty draws her into a match with a man she doesn't know to protect her and her family from social ruin. As the story progresses, she begins to see the importance of finding her sense of self and actualizing it to achieve her desires. She is ultimately forced to choose between her family's safety and her own happiness.
Standing at 5'7, Anri has porcelain blue skin, honey brown eyes, and short platinum white hair that resembles a pixie cut when worn up, but if let down is just as long as her twins. Being an identical twin, her features mirror that of her sister Soar, who's beauty is rumored by the common folk to be of the divine, but where Soar has leaned into the regalia of her position in life, lending her figure to be soft and gentle, Anri has not. She has mastered her body to the utmost of her ability giving her a chiseled and defined build all but devoid of the features high society deems befit of a lady of her stature. In public she is adorned with the colors of her house and her clothes seek to compliment her complexion while subduing the sturdiness of her form.

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.

The two agree that the must see Skylark out of Kestrels care and race off to the estate.
