II. PERSONA
Claire can be very eccentric with a body language that is very animated. She can be quite coy, opting to tell half truths in times where a person may need to know the complete story. At other times, to those who should not know the truth of a matter, Claire will happily divulge said truths. She is a very good liar, seemingly with no tells and can be quite convincing. Her intelligence allows her to analyze people deeply within a single interaction. Once she's made her assessments, she's prone to push and prod at their weaknesses, so long as it suits her.
When she is not antagonizing, Claire can be quite charismatic. She's often seen smiling and enjoys helping others. Despite her cool beauty, Claire can be endearing to those around her. Able to assuage young and old alike, even when her words are empty. Her profound words can shake the conviction's of even the most steadfast personalities.
Claire is very mischievous. While it is usually harmless, she enjoys light teasing, as well as flirting, in order to chip away at someone's mental armour. If there is a seed of doubt, she will nurture it without missing a beat. If one is angry, Claire will feed the flames of wrath. Claire is quite fond of riddles and allowing others to read between the lines. At times she will challenge someone with questions in passing.
Claire is quite driven in her desires and can plan meticulously if need be. She's quick to adapt if the situation requires it and loves to be challenged, as much as she challenges. At times, when one is privy to her innermost thoughts, Claire can be viewed as childish or bratty at times. This is something people close to her get to see. In the past, putting up a charade of confidence or acting as enigmatic as possible, was meant to keep someone thinking about her. She fears being alone above all her other problems, so surrounding herself with companions, is preferred.

III. HISTORY
Repressed heart meets contained soul
Long ago Claire Farron sealed away part of her heart after her parents death. That part of her heart contained suppressed feelings, selfishness and vulnerability alike. Locked away, it felt like the new Lightning had tried to kill part of herself and only when she entered Crystal sleep, could this fragmented part of her heart come to life. It resonated with Serah's soul as Lightning slept and soon the two merged. Using her connection to chaos which had entered the mortal realm, Lumina was able to manifest. Now she dwelt within Nova Chrysalia, engaging the populace and gaining a reputation as a trickster. At times, she would help the citizens, though it had a tendency to lead to disadvantages later. She would also tell people about Lightning.
Lumina had forged connections with Lightning's former companions, starting with Vanille and Fang. Her existence among the populace earned her a reputation as a trickster. Though Nova's denizens do not regard her as malign in the least, merely playful. When Fang was separated from Vanille, Lumina would remain by her side. Seeing someone else be lonely, was simply not an option for Lumina. Though her time was not solely spent with Vanille alone. Lightning would awaken soon and she'd set her sights upon Noel. She'd fabricate a prophecy for him to follow and he became so devout that it pleased Lumina very much.
Upon her first encounter with Lightning, she decides to test her using a powerful illusion. Sitting above on a chandelier, she causes Lightning to perceive Snow as herself and destroy her sword in kind. Whilst she and Snow are distracted, she sets the chandelier on fire and takes her leave. For her second test, Lumina decides to appear before Lightning in a Chaos Infusion. When Lightning can see through the chaos, Lumina is impressed and wants to test her more. So she summons one of her friends, a Zaltys to bar her path. Lightning clears this challenge and further catches Lumina's interest, by deciding to save snow and the other denizens of Nova.
After passing her tests, Lumina would regularly appear to Lightning. She'd form a place within Lightning's subconsciousness where she could speak freely and privately to her. There she could plant seeds of doubt and muddle Lightning's thoughts. After all, Lightning needed to learn that Bhunivelze was not whom he seemed. Lumina would strengthen Lightning with monsters of chaos, challenging her resolve throughout her journey.
As Lightning's journey comes to a close, she becomes hellbent on saving everyone, even against Lumina's wishes. So, she releases Serah's heart from her body, anticipating the final act. An act where Lightning confronts her true self within the chaos. When she accepts her vulnerability, Lumina returns to Lightning, making her a complete person once more. Whilst the world forgets Lightning, it seems they remember Lumina still. Some like Vanille more fondly, whilst others like Fang, more harshly.
Upon being summoned to Zephon, Claire's memories reset to when she was going by Lumina, where she mingled with the populace while her other half slept, even before meeting Fang and Vanille. As Lumina, her memories from the time Lightning was awakened and the final thirteen days before the world ended were gone. What she briefly recalls is scenes of her existence coming to an end. Though she can't recall why and now in Zephon, she feels that she's been given the chance to live anew and have all the fun she can muster. She begins her tyranny in Metaia, where she first awakens proper.
Years later, both halves of Claire Farron have merged into one. Claire's memories of the New World have returned and whilst she deals with an old nemesis on Zephon, faced with her true desires will she be forced to fight again?

ROLE-PLAY SAMPLE::
This really was a new frontier, wasn't it? Lumina had come upon a new world. It looked like a town with many unfamiliar faces."I guess this could be interesting." she mused to herself aloud. High above ground level, Lumina placed her right hand perpendicular to her forehead, before leaning forward to peer across the town square. There were so many citizens, free from the influence of gods but not from darkness. As they went about their business below, they were so peaceful. So serene, "So...boring! I need to shake this place up a bit."
Lumina decided in order to have some fun, her first order of business was to visit a vendor. This one was selling sea salt ice cream but received no customers thus far. "Business going slow today?" she pried after approaching his stall casually. He explained that he'd been sick for a few days and thus hadn't shown up for work. Now he was back but nobody was paying him any mind. Lumina placed a hand to her cheek, eyes briefly gazing upward in thought."You know...if you give me a bar, I could help you get customers~?" he seemed uncertain and Lumina soon moved her hand away from her cheek before wagging her right index finger.
"You mustn't doubt, it's easy...watch!"
As the vendor raised a brow, Lumina swiftly turned around. She stretched her arms wide before projecting her voice. "Ice Cream, Ice Cream. Get your Ice Cream right here~! Better act quickly, limited supply and all." that certainly caught people's attention. Starting with a young boy who was clinging to his Mother's arm. He was pointing to the stall and Lumina too. Children were so magical, seeing one child going for ice cream prompted another, then another and before the proprietor knew it, a crowd was forming.
Giggling, Lumina disappeared before reappearing just as quick behind the stall with a hand out expectedly. Flabbergasted, the vendor gave her one bar of sea salt ice cream and thus she was gone with ice cream in tow. What a nice act huh? Except, the proprietor didn't have enough supply for all the attention he was getting. That meant there'd be a lot of disappointed kids... "Aww poor things, well there's always tomorrow right~?" she'd say to herself as she appeared atop a building overlooking the square. Things were about to get much more lively in town, she'd make sure of it.
