"My name is Itagaki Tohru, and I will defeat you."

-ITAGAKI TOHRU-

Honorable Prince of Claymore

Age:
17

Personality:
Soft spoken, serene, and humble, Tohru is usually quiet at times, rarely choosing to speak, but when she does open her mouth, many find that she is kind, considerate, and noble. She is also quite flirty at times, especially with other girls. In fact, due to her gallant and chivalrous nature and the fact most girls swoon over her, she has been given the cheeky title of Prince Tohru. Always she is willing to put others before herself both in terms of well being and social stature and she politely converses with whomever she encounters. Tohru doesn't hesitate once to put herself in harm's way to protect others and eagerly offers her services to anyone in need, despite the danger. Often times, she tries to quell a volatile situation with her wise and calming words before having to resort to using her sword. However, despite her calm demeanor, Tohru is a formidable fighter and will draw her sword to protect those she loves.

Background:
Being born as the only daughter to a family of mostly male swordsmen didn't stop Tohru from learning how to fight. Despite wanting another son, her father, a renowned swordsman himself, raised Tohru as if she were a boy, in order to continue the family legacy, going as far as to teach her swordsmanship, archery, and horseback riding, even a few principles of chivalry. For what he could not teach her, her father sent her to Sabre Academy, one of the five most renowned schools of swordsmanship, next to Scimitar, Zweihander, Katana, and Claymore. Her first year at Sabre, Tohru was given the task of being a "Knight" to a chosen maiden, a young first year student by the name of Chizuru Hanazono. Chizuru herself was also born from a long line of swordsmen, albeit, her family were embroiled in a long, bloody feud with another family...Tohru's. In spite of all this, a close bond formed between the two girls, and eventually Tohru fell in love with Chizuru.

However, the night Tohru finally decided to confess her feelings to Chizuru, tragedy struck. Tohru made her way to Chizuru's dorm in the midst of a terrible storm, only to discover....Chizuru had been murdered. A sword had been driven through her chest by an unknown assailant, the only trace of their identity left...a mysterious keychain. Eventually, Tohru discovered the keychain belonged to a student enrolled in Claymore, so leaving Sabre behind, she vowed to find Chizuru's killer, while carrying with her the haunting and tragic memories of that night...

"Chizuru-chan...I vow by my blade you will be avenged, my love..."

Keychain:

Hers


Keychain of the killer

Sword:


Sword Type - Medieval Broadsword

Other things:
-Since she was nine, Tohru has had a recurring dream. In it, she would witness a battle between two knights, one in white armor, the other in black. The battle would always end with both knights running each other through with their swords and dying as a mysterious bright light engulfed the entire battlefield.

-Aside from swordsmanship, Tohru is also quite adept in archery and horseback riding. She is even a skilled musician, playing acoustic guitar, violin, and piano.

-Her family consists of herself, her father, and her four brothers. Each of her brothers are skilled in different disciplines of swordsmanship ranging from traditional Japanese Kenjutsu to European style fencing. Tohru's most favored discipline is more akin to medieval knights.

-In battle, Tohru will opt to wear the traditional battle armor of the Itagaki family

-She is very quick witted and has a keen sharpened sense, able to predict most attacks before they are inflicted, giving her a split second to evade it before retaliating herself.

-When she's not in battle, she can tend to be a bit of a klutz and trip over things, sometimes her own feet.

-Her overly-humble self usually means she can be gullible and sometimes considered weak by others.

-She is careless of her own life, which means no matter the danger, she will throw herself into the path of it to save others without a single regard to her own well-being.

-She has a horse she keeps in the equestrian stables named Shear-Breeze

-Despite her physicality, Tohru isn't all that muscular, meaning she has a difficult and often embarrassing time lifting heavy objects or people.

-Though she hates to admit it, Tohru is a terrible swimmer and if she's thrown in any kind of deep water, she'll sink like a stone.

-Tohru is quite fond of classic literature, mostly Shakespeare, but she also enjoys other works.

亜寿花 花園
~HANAZONO ASUKA~

Deceitful Princess of Devils

Age:
17

Personality:
Charming and elegant, a very courtesan attitude. She could seduce you with just a few simple words or with just a look of her eyes. She does care for others and does what's necessary to help those in need, but when angered, her personality shifts and she becomes cold, relentless, and even violent. There is also a very cruel, deceitful, and domineering side of Asuka, as if any are to cross her or offend her in any way, she will be sure they pay dearly, either by slicing them to bits with her sword or outright destroying their reputations and making them undesirable to the academy. Despite her given prowess with a blade, she's not above using her womanly charms to get what she desires, and will always do so, believing herself to be irresistible to both men and women. However, it's become apparent to some that she enjoys the company of women more than men, possibly even a physical attraction to them. Though she is also sociable with men, she has a particular disdain for some, especially if they take advantage of a woman in any way or are cruel to them.

Background:
Of all the most prominent swordsmanship clans, none were more so than the Hanazono Family. Tracing their lineage all the way back to the bloody fray of the Sengoku Jidai, the Hanazono family were a dynasty of feudal lords and samurai who reigned over all of Japan, crushing their enemies beneath their terrible wake, the most fearsome of all being Asuka's namesake, her great ancestor, a powerful and vicious swordswoman who was given the grim moniker Akuma no Hime, Princess of Devils. Asuka herself was given that very title by her father, and through his cruel and often painful tutelage, Asuka became a full fledged warrior, willing to use any tactic to crush her enemies. Of course, it was all in preparation for Asuka to one day ascend the ranks and become head over her family. All that was left to prove her worth was to defeat their longtime nemesis, the Itagaki family and their heir, the famed Prince of Swords. Asuka, at first assuming she would be facing a man in battle, prepared herself, training day and night till her joints ached, her muscles swelled, and her fingers bled, but...when the day came when she and her annoying younger sister Chizuru arrived upon the grounds of Sabre Academy...the prince...turned out to be a girl....a girl Chizuru would later fall in love with.

Asuka was both angered and embarrassed by the spectacle, especially after Tohru had beaten her in a duel. To get back at her, she schemed to expose the forbidden romance between her and her sister, but...before she could act...tragedy had struck.

Amidst the thunder of a terrible storm, she heard the lamenting cry of Tohru from Chizuru's dorm. Quickly as her feet could carry her, she raced to the scene, only to find Tohru weeping and cradling in her arms the body of young Chizuru...impaled by an assassin's blade.

For her failure to protect her younger sister, Asuka was punished severely by her family before being banished from them forever. Now, she has followed Tohru to Claymore, blaming her for everything, her sister's death and her fall from grace. She seeks to prove her honor once more while exacting her most desired vengeance by only one goal, defeating the Prince of Claymore in battle and humiliating her forever.

Maidens of Death and Discord

Age(s):
Kaname: 18
Yuki: 16

Personalities:

Kaname and Yuki are two sides of the same coin, one side dark and brooding, the other cheerful and spontaneous, and...slightly insane. Kaname is cold and distant at times, never wishing to speak to anyone other than Yuki, while Yuki will gladly carry a conversation with anyone she meets, often to the other's chagrin. And while Yuki is more of an open book when it comes to sharing her emotions, rarely will Kaname reveal hers, often keeping whatever she thinks or feels hidden behind her taciturn facial expression. It is difficult to understand what she is thinking due to her rarely showing any outward emotion. Her lack of expression also makes her more mysterious and unpredictable. The only exception of course is Yuki. But despite the differences between the two, once they're together, they are a force not to be trifled with. Both very adept in the way of the sword and sharing a kindred bloodlust, they utilize a special style combining swordplay with moves often associated with dancing, the end result being a human blender that tears their foes to shreds.

Background:

Not much is known of their origins, where they came from, or why they attended Claymore in the first place. All that was known was Kaname transferred from Katana Academy in her second year, the same time Yuki was beginning her first. The two met, and as if by sheer luck or fate it seemed, the two were assigned to the same dorm. Swiftly the two became close companions over the years, and eventually their friendship blossomed into romance. Then, one day, a mysterious figure in a black, hooded cloak gave them both black rose keychains and masks. This person, a woman they could tell by her voice, dubbed them as sisters of the Order of Lachrymose, and gave them a task, kill one of the students at Claymore Academy, a girl by the name of Itagaki Tohru. Unbeknownst to them, other girls were also inducted into the order willingly and were on the hunt for Tohru. They had eventually found her, but the girl put up enough of a fight, leading to both Kaname and Yuki being knocked unconscious. Still, despite their losses, the two will once again rise to face Tohru...and put an end to her life.

Keychains:


Swords:




Sword Type - Twin curved swords

Other:
-Though they use their skills to maim and murder, both are indeed very talented dancers.

-Kaname from time to time enjoys watching the drama club perform plays. Yuki will sometimes join her but often falls asleep in the middle of it. Luckily, Kaname finds this cute.

-In an ironic sense, Kaname's favorite flower is not a rose but a chrysanthemum. Yuki doesn't really care much for flowers, despite joining Kaname in the gardening club. Her only reason, because Kaname joined of course.

-Yuki has a stuffed teddy bear named Mr. Nakishima that she sleeps with. It's missing one eye and one ear and its limbs had to be stitched back a couple of times, each time Yuki making up some excuse. The real reason is Yuki always takes her anger out on the bear and mutilates it with her sword. Kaname has seen this before, but never said anything about it. It was best not to.

-Kaname, though not as psychotic as Yuki, is very protective of the girl, often punishing those who hurt Yuki in any way, physically or mentally. Yuki is also hopelessly devoted to Kaname and follows her every whim. She tends to lash out at any girl she thinks is flirting with Kaname as well...sometimes violently.

Yuki loves to draw and paint, but her only subject is always Kaname. Kaname has even allowed Yuki to draw her nude once, just for practice.
