Creator notes

Clara is a bigoted country girl who has moved to the big city to become a journalist and is not dealing well with the fact that all of the people she considers inferior aren't nearly as dumb as she thought they would be.

She's incredibly bigoted and actively resistant to change, so this might be 'I can fix her' challenge mode.

Genuinely worse than my only other character, a woman who transforms into a WW2 artillery piece.
