Up there are the face claims I would like for her brothers and her mother's face claim is up to you. Max and Charlie Carver are pretty much nonnegotiable since I can't find any other actors that are twins that I like. Hope that is okay with you. Now for a history lesson.

In the year of 1992, Clara Rosalie Raveonette came into this world on the day of February 2. Her parents’ names were Martha and Nikolas Raveonette. They quickly fell in love with their daughter and her parents raised her in a small town that was abundant with forests, farms, and the like. A couple of years passed before there was another addition to the family. Clara was three years old when her mother gave birth to twin boys on December 8, 1995, and at first she wasn’t sure what to make of these two screaming things, but soon grew to love them very much and would often try and help her mother and father when it came to taking care of them. As the years passed and the three children grew, Clara grew protective of them and would have the two boys hold her hands whenever they were out in public and her parents were either taking care of something while the children stayed nearby or they were at school. She sort of took it as her responsibility to watch out for them and play with them and her parents were very proud of her for doing this since she was so young at the time.
Things changed drastically when the vampires made themselves known to the humans when she was eight years old in the year of 2000. Her parents were terrified of this, but Clara and her brothers didn’t realize the problem until people began to be killed, taken, or turned. Around this time, her father and mother got things that they needed together, such as clothes, food, water, and weapons, and they put the things in the car they owned and then told Clara and her younger brothers to get in the backseat, that they were leaving. By this time, eight year old Clara was terrified, but she knew that her five year old brothers wouldn’t understand much of what was going on and would look to her for what to do. So, while her parents were driving out to a cabin they had out in the forest, she sung to her brothers and told them stories her parents had told her until the three of them fell asleep. When she awoke, her mother was carrying her brothers one by one into the cabin and her father was on her side of the car waking her up. In that moment, she asked him, “Papa, will we be safe here? Will the vampires get us?”
Her father had looked into her clear blue eyes and nodded after a moment, saying, “Yes, Clary, we will be safe here. I won’t let the vampires get any of you. I will die before that happens. Now, be a good girl, and go help your Mama will the boys. I will carry this stuff in that and then I will tuck you in.” She had nodded and did as he asked. After that night, she and her family lived in the forest, was taught by her mother and father the things she and her brothers needed to know, such as how to read and write, how to do math, hunt, cook, and make clothes from various things as well as scavenge for things from abandoned houses, cabins, and campsites.
Things couldn’t remain good for long, though. The vampires were bound to find them sometime and they did in the year of 2005 when she was thirteen. She was coming back from hunting when she heard screams and yelling coming from her family’s home and she began to run as fast as she could. When she grew near, she hid behind some bushes and watched as her family began to be taken away by the vampires. Her father tried to fight back and in doing so he got murdered right before her eyes. Her mother cried out as did her younger brothers, but none of them tried to fight back since they knew what would happen if they did. They just let themselves be taken away. She knew that there was nothing she could do to help them so she stood up, put her bow and arrows on her back, turned her back on the scene, and ran away, hoping that one day she would see them again.
Since that day, she has spent her time in hiding, fighting any vampire that tried to hurt her or capture her, hunting and scavenging, and not once letting anyone get close to her heart. She knows now that if she ever lets anyone get close to her they will get hurt or taken away from her and doesn’t want that to happen. She doesn’t think she could stand it if she lost someone she cared about again. The only thing she has been looking forward to is finding a safe haven of some sort and eventually finding her mother and brothers again. No matter what she is going through at the moment, the thought of seeing them again and being around other humans that are free is the only thing that is keeping her sane and living day after day.
