Claymore character sketches ✨

Ilena coming out from her cabin because she felt Teresa's energy emanating from Clare and Teresa knowing that it was Ilena's arm on Clare's body and thanking her...

Given that claymores come from different generations and the definition of a generation is vague, it's hard to tell how old warriors are. Even awakened beings who are former warriors.

Clare looked to be about 8-10 when she met Teresa. Teresa was already an adult. She didn't appear to be still be still maturing physically, the way we see Priscilla and Clare throughout the series.

Let's assume Clare is 15 at the beginning of the series. By the end, she’s 22.

Let's assume each generation is 10 years, for easier math:

Teresa would've been in her 20s, let's extrapolate from that that Ilena was in her 30s by the end of the series.

Rafaela was an adult when Teresa was still a trainee. Between Luciela and Teresa as number 1s, there were at least two other number 1s: Hysteria and Rosemary. Rosemary was rising in rank at the same time as Teresa. Rafaela then wouldve been in her 30s when she met Teresa as a trainee.

Riful is much older. There have been many number 1s that we never learned about besides names and perhaps more who simply disappeared in history. Number 1s awakening is rare, given that by the start of the series, there are three on the continent and Priscilla who is beyond the ability of an abyssal one.

Riful, as a first generation warrior, is easily over 60 years old. Isley over 70.

I thought there was a parallel between Teresa's era Irene and Clare's era Irene in her appearances but those panels are only slightly similar; so here, have these two vaguely linked images

YOUR CHARACTER:  IN 5 QUOTES

[ muse selection | Clare | Claymore ]

Tell us your favorite quotes from your character. Give us an idea of who they are by five things they’ve said.

1) “My existence was nothing more to her than a stone by the side of the road. I wasn’t enough to fill her belly. Or perhaps I didn’t even get reflected in her eyes. I couldn’t even hate the beast that killed Teresa. It was me, overcome by fear, that I could not forgive.”

2) “Number Forty-Seven in the organization, Clare, the successor of Teresa’s flesh and blood, the bearer of Ilena’s right arm, and the one who will hunt down the head of the one-horned monster, Priscilla.”

3) “Don’t be so quick to throw away your life. No matter how disgraceful or embarrassing it may be, you need to keep struggling to find your way out until the very end.”

4) “I promise you. I will not die. I will survive this day and meet you again. So, you can’t die either, Raki. I will find you. You need to survive until then.”

5) “You said I should have forgotten everything and lived as a human, but… there’s no way I could do that. At that time, Teresa was everything to me. Everything I lost… my life, my voice, even my joy in living… Teresa gave those back to me. Teresa gave me everything. So I had no choice but to move forward. I wasn’t strong enough to forget all that and continue living.”

Hi there, I looked through your Claymore tag, I'm always happy to find new fans of it. I was a bit surprised that you preferred the anime to the manga; ike you said it's a fairly unpopular opinion haha. Id love to know your reasons, if any, that you disliked the last part of the manga.

WARNING: YOU HAVE ACTIVATED THE AUTISM VACATE NOW IF YOU WISH TO LEAVE UNCHANGED "New" fan may be an understatement, I've been a fan of the show since it was on Netflix! I watched it at my dad's once, along with Samurai 7, I loved it so much my dad got me the Blu-ray for Christmas. Then when I watched it at my mom's she thought it was too violent (Which like, yeah. It was XD) and so it was packed away until I was 17 (I was released from the weird confines my mother had for me then). It irreversibly changed my brain chemistry. Probably where my love of body horror and creepy human/monster designs came from. So then later on I learned there was a MANGA! WITH MORE SHIT I WAS SO FUCKING PUMPED. I read it all online in like, a week. I loved the awakened beings designs. I loved the art, I loved the characters, I loved the world... and then. The twist. (Claymore spoilers ahead)

That the main continent Claymore takes place on is a testing ground for the organization's war against another power on another continent. Which is actually super fucking cool but. THEY NEVER BRING IT UP AGAIN??? I DON'T REMEMBER THEM ACKNOWLEDGING THIS INSANE TWIST AND COMPLETE SHATTERING OF THEIR WHOLE WORLDVIEW Maybe it's the translation I read? But wow. Something like that just isn't talked about again. And then we have the Destroyer. The actual real Destroyer, the black mass, I am confused about... It takes over beings and has a very primal mind. But also it can speak full sentences? And can combine two beings together even though it's supposed to take them over? But it also keeps Priscilla's mind in Cassandra or something? I have no idea, it got so muddled. I don't like Teresa coming back. It doesn't make any sense in the rules of the universe, we NEVER saw anything like that in the whole series! How does that work? Is Teresa just a construct of what Clare remembers of her? Or is it ACTUALLY Teresa? Plus it's so boring. Teresa is ridiculously powerful so you know she's going to win against Priscilla. BOOORRRINGGGG Like wow man. Also. Raki and Clare are not like, caretaker/child relationship? It's fucking romantic? That's super fucking gross, I hate it so much. OH AND THEN ILENA AT THE END HOW IS SHE STILL ALIVE HOW DOES SHE HAVE HER ARM BACK THERE IS NO EXPLANATION HOW DID CLARE FIND HER???? RAFEALA DIDN'T KILL HER??? Came out of fucking no where. Kind of ruined it. Also I am still salty Clarice died :(
