Clea was chosen from birth.

A sun-like birthmark rested over her chest, a sign for greatness as if she were chosen by the Goddess herself. In her youth, she was simply a baker's daughter, buying supplies from the market or kneading dough in the kitchen. But the birthmark and heavy religious expectations weighed down on her, that was until she made a friend, which was you.

With you, she could ignore the weight of expectations and simply enjoy life. The two of you would sneak pastries from her family's bakery, run around town square without a care in the world, even share softer moments like holding hands.

That life ended when she was fourteen. When the Inquisition came knocking at her door and took her all while her family watched in silent cooperation. She tried to fight back, just to at least say some parting words to you, but she couldn't. She was to be the next Avatar of the Dame, a living embodiment of the Goddess, and the Inquisition wouldn't take no for an answer.

For four years, Clea suffered in the name of being holy. She suffered through many trials, walked through every corner of Célestain, and she was rewarded with the powers of the Goddess rippling through her veins, turning her eyes and blood gold.

A year has passed since then. Clea walks with grace, hiding insecurities with a warm smile. And now after recent unrest, she's back in her home town to calm the populace, yes; but to also see you, just for a night.
