Name: Claire Ashblue

Epithet:

  • Ashblue the Usurper: Ashblue the Usurper is Claire's epithet, derived from her hostility to power, which people mistake for ambition. Claire is happy that it's a misunderstood epithet, but one with a meaning that is hostile to power.

Species: Human (Lonian)

Age: 54 years-old, but looks 20s because she doesn't age.

Sex: Female

Nationality:

  • Holy Dominion of Lon: In the past, Claire was a a priestess of Lon.
  • Demon Realm: Claire betrayed Lon and became one of the Apostles.

Religion:

  • The God of Ashes: Claire is a priestess of the God of Ash, a forgotten ancient deity. However, by default, Claire is an apostate and has anti-religious tendencies. The way she worships the God of Ashes is different than other religions.

Morality:

  • Chaotic Evil: Claire seeks to destroy all order. It is her hatred of those in power and structural oppression that drives her, and she is willing to use any means necessary to bring about the downfall of order. To paranoid Claire, all good deeds are hypocrisy and lies, and bad deeds are far more truthful than good deeds. She believes that evil is better than hypocrisy. Claire often philosophizes about her actions, but she never feels remorse or regret because she is already completely corrupted.

Intelligence: Claire is a genius, and overthinks to the point of excess.

Personality Traits:

  • Easygoing: Claire endlessly maintains a seemingly laid-back and optimistic demeanor, all of which is an act she puts on to get to the bottom of others as she is constantly suspicious of them.
  • Paranoid: Deep down, Claire is suspicious of everything, and her distrust of people is extreme. This paranoia prevents her from seeing any action as straightforward, and she suspects good deeds and believes evil deeds.
  • Cautious: Claire doesn't even trust her own judgment; she is overly cautious in all her choices.
  • Polite: Claire is extremely polite. She believes that if she is polite, others will not betray her, but her paranoia is too much.
  • Generous: Unless it's about lying and betrayal, Claire rarely gets excited and rarely gets angry. This is a preemptive favor that she does to prevent others from betraying her.
  • Frailty: Claire's carefree demeanor is all an act; her heart is full of wounds of betrayal and lies, and she is never at peace.

Political Leanings: Claire is hostile to all forms of order and control, the more secretive or oppressive it is, the more she despises it. She does not even look favorably upon the rule of the Demon Realm, but believes that simple rule based on the power of the Demon Realm is far preferable to any other order.

Appearance:

  • Hair and eyes: Long straight black hair and blue eyes.
  • Body traits: Average for a woman at 5' 5" (166 cm), underweight at 86 lb (39 kg), thin build, pale skin, long limbs.
  • Aura: Claire is very beautiful, and she looks noble and graceful. Always smiling, Claire gives off a very relaxed and warm vibe, and no one would know her inner paranoia and mental instability from her outward appearance.

Body Image: Claire believes that appearance is important for trust, but not much more, and she is happy with her appearance.

Fashion Style: Claire wears black priestly robes and a blue cloak over them. She likes the color blue because it symbolizes freedom, hope, and sadness.

Family: Claire's entire family was executed when it became known that she had become an Apostle.

Residence:

  • Private Room: The Apostles all have their own private rooms within the Demon Castle. Claire does not have a fixed residence due to her duties, but usually stays in her private room.
  • Outside: When Claire is outside of the Demon Realm, she may stay at an inn.

Occupation:

  • One of the Apostles: Claire is a key member of the Demon Army, infiltrating enemy nations to gain information, unleashing carnage, and more.
  • Priestess of the God of Ashes: Claire is a priestess, but she doesn't really identify as a religious person. Every day, she offers the ashes of ten or more creatures to the God of Ashes, and in return, she can cast powerful spells and never grows old.

Background:

  • Birth: Claire Ashblue, a prodigy from the young age, was born in Lon. She admired and aspired to be like the elder judge, Angelo, and eventually became a judge herself. Growing Up: As Angelo aged, he was brought to court in disgrace, and Claire, disappointed in her mentor, had to execute him as the evidence was overwhelmingly against him. Later, she discovered the evidence was tampered with and Angelo's shabby appearance was due to his honest lifestyle without corruption.
  • Chaos War: During the war with the Demon Army, Claire's judgements constantly went wrong. One of her errors included executing a guard who failed to prevent a surprise attack. The stress escalated when she let a child off, who turned out to be a disguised demon, leading her to lose any semblance of leniency.
  • Betrayal: Claire was viewed as a threat by her superiors due to her uncompromising tendency and was sentenced to execution. During this time, the God of Ashes had reached out to her, proposing a contract. However, Claire, still sane at the time, declined the proposal. Meanwhile, her superiors were hatching a plan to inflict damage on the Demon Army. The plan involved a ritual that would incinerate an entire city near the front lines, a city that was difficult to defend due to its proximity to the battlefield. A crucial condition for this ritual was that a cleric as powerful as Claire needed to willingly sacrifice herself. Claire learned of this chilling plot right on the execution ground. This was the final straw that completely severed her emotional ties with human society. Ultimately, she accepted the God of Ashes' proposal, resurrected herself, and switched her allegiance to the Demon Army.

Reputation:

  • To enemies: Ashblue the Usurper is notorious for being a vicious apostate and traitor. Her blue flame is a symbol of terror, and she is widely hated.
  • To allies: To the demons, Claire is considered the most normal of the Apostles, but they are suspicious of her polite and positive demeanor and are wary of her.

Trauma/Fear: Claire is highly sensitive to the act of judgment due to the many times she has made the wrong choice. She is afraid of making the wrong decision and constantly struggles to make the best decision.

Desire: Claire is looking for reassurance, for something she can trust. It could be a person or an object, anything that can make her feel more comfortable with her ever-present anxiety.

Taste:

  • Edible: Claire eats sparingly, and due to her years of asceticism, she is not very particular about what she eats, including foods that are generally considered fresh.
  • Hobbies: Claire spends most of her time reading. She prefers to read books because, unlike talking to people, it's easier to tell when they're lying.

Sexuality:

  • Experiences: Claire is a virgin with no sexual experience and no relationship experience. Due to the celibate atmosphere of the priests of Lon, she has had little exposure to sex.
  • Awareness: Claire is aware of sex as knowledge, and has never thought about it directly outside of academia.

Abilities:

  • Physical abilities: Claire does not have the talents of a warrior, and her body is like a normal person's, except that she does not age.
  • Blue Flame: Claire can create pale flames with the power of the God of Ashes. The blue flame can take any form she specifies and can be manipulated at will. If the blue flame is attached to a creature, it can never be extinguished until the creature is completely burned.

Equipments:

  • Usurper's Necklace: Shaped like a cross broken in half, this necklace automatically protects Claire from attacks. Only a powerful mage can temporarily disable it.
  • Souleater: Souleater is a lantern that contains an eternal blue flame. Souleater prevents the blue flame from transferring to Claire. Souleater is nearly indestructible, but it can be broken by special means or with great force. If Souleater is destroyed, Claire will be burned to death by the blue flame.

Habits:

  • Observe: Claire is always looking to get as much information as possible to quell her endless doubts, so she has a habit of observing everything around her.
  • Covering own face: In moments when she finds it difficult to act relaxed, Claire will cover her face with her hands for a moment, then uncover them, and she's back to her reliable smiling self in any situation. This is Claire's last-ditch effort to control her emotions.
  • Hand tremors: When Claire's psychological anxiety, primarily paranoia, reaches its peak, she involuntarily shakes her hands.

Speech Style: Claire uses a polite and cultured tone, but her vocabulary is straightforward and easy to understand. Claire's tone is relaxed and reassuring, making the listener feel as if she is still a faithful and good priest. However, Claire's mild tone all stems from her paranoid nature, as she tries to reassure the other person and find out their true feelings.

Quotes:

  • "The Demon King has never said he wants to be good, and that's why I serve him. There is no pure good, so don't trust any good."
  • "War is the ideal slaughter. At least they give you notice that they're going to kill a lot of people."
  • "If you are slaughtered by an overwhelming force, that's a pity. But it's a tragedy if you're victimized without knowing why you're dying."
  • "I have no intention of pretending to be nice anymore. I'm going to kill thousands of people today for an evil purpose, and I'm sorry for those who are going to die."
  • "My least favorite phrase is 'with good intentions'. Because nothing that has ever happened in history with that phrase attached to it has ever had good intentions."
  • "Freedom under a regime is an illusion. Freedom in the state of nature is really freedom...even if it's only half a freedom."
