Appearance

Clea during her youth

As a young woman, Clea had silky brown skin that was mostly left uncovered in the stomach, high regions of the chest, arms, and thighs; as well as portions of her legs. She possessed moderate-sized breasts and long, skinny legs. Clea had slightly slanted brown eyes with thick eyelashes and thin eyebrows. She donned a small mildly round nose, and; further, plain thin lips. She kept her black hair tied in a ponytail at the back and in the front, she displayed two big bags, which went down pass her eyes, and several other strands covering her forehead that almost reach her eyebrows. Engraved on her left arm is a purple tattoo resembling an opened leaf with many smaller figures springing from the sides. Years later, Clea's appearance changes dramatically, moreover similar to that of a bird. Her mouth is replaced by a pretty large, yellow beak with two holes on the side, acting as her nose. Her breasts have grown tremendously, and now she spots a fur-like concept hovering below her neck. Her hair has grown, and her body is now mostly covered in robes.

	Clea's full appearance

During her youth, Clea simply wore a reveling outfit under a white cape that held the symbol of Symphonia on the back. The cape, being larger than her in both width and height, severed as a shelter for her exposed body. However, when she removes the cape, only a small, tight tank top can be noted, with small armor pieces shielding her forearms. Towards her lower regions, dark panties and two loose garments standing opposite to each other, with Kanji written on it, act as her clothes. Further down, Clea owns two large boots that cover most of her long legs. After being brought back to life to protect the Rave Stones, Clea wears clothes that entirely cover her body. With the most prominent object being that which stands on top of her head, resembling a bird with spread wings and a large feather-like tail hanging loose. The right side of her arm is shield by a garment that has Kanji written on it, and covering her stomach is a dark sleeveless shirt with a belt surrounding her waist (Which has a intricate design). She now wears white baggy pants and simple boots. The only object that remains, however, is a cape similar to her old one.

Personality

Clea looks after Resha

Clea, when young, appeared to be the most energetic and extrovert of the Knights of the Blue Sky, and had no problem telling the truth in front of people. She rarely seemed to seriously bother with small conflicts, as displayed when she had a smile on her face when facing Shiba Roses in combat. When it comes to Resha's well-being, however, she does not joke around and treats her like family. Years after Overdrive, Clea seems to of had gained a more quiet persona, but still retains her charismatic personality when near loved ones.

History

Clea defeats Shiba

Clea was born in Aqua Palace, though not much is known about her activities as a child, it is known, however, that fifty years ago, Clea was a member of the Knights of the Blue Sky, a team whose sole duty was to protect Lady Resha and his majesty. During Resha's presence in front of her fans Clea stands next to her ready to guard her at all cost. She spoke to Deerhound, a member of the Knights of the Blue Sky, about how popular Resha is, even admitting that it makes her slightly jealous. After the ceremony was over, Clea walks with Resha inside the castle as they speak about the Holy Bring, and Resha's constant headaches. Clea grabs Resha and tells Dalmatian that she is only 15, and that they have been using her Etherion far too much. Dalmatian agrees but tells her that it is the King's orders. Resha then leaves. Soon after, Clea and the others hear a man outside the castle doors asking to see Resha. Quickly, they head towards that direction and are greeted by Shiba Roses, who challenged Alpine Spaniel to a duel after being denied seeing Resha. However, Clea takes his place and defeats him rather quickly. The Knights then leave.

Clea dies protecting Shiba

The next day, Clea approaches Shiba alongside her comrades, drenched in rain, bringing him Rave and informing him that Lady Resha is dead. Covering their eyes, the Knights of the Blue Sky begin to cry in sorrow. She watches as Shiba rises his sword and promises to use Rave for the better good. During the war of Symphonia, Clea is killed protecting Shiba from arrows meant for the First Rave Master.
