Appearance
Claire is a young woman with a tall, slender build. She has long black hair and red eyes. She wears the Midgar Academy uniform consisting of a blazer jacket, dress shirt and stockings.

Personality
Claire has shown to be stern and strict, especially to her younger brother, Cid who she constantly trains and scolds should he is seen slacking off. Being the heir to the Kagenou family, she has to be uptight and stoic in order to maintain her family's reputation. She also possesses a sharp tongue and doesn't mind criticizing or insulting people.

Although she acts cold towards her brother, Claire deeply loves Cid, possibly even have romantic feelings for him and was actually trying everything she can to toughen him up and securing a better future for him. Another added factor to her overattachment was her learning that she has Demonic Possession causing her to believe that she has little time left and chose to spent what remains to be with Cid. She has shown to be overly protective towards him, willing to kill anyone should harm even came upon him.

Training as a Spellsword
Claire was born to Mr and Mrs Kagenou of the Kagenou Baron Family. When she reached her childhood, Claire was trained in swordsmanship and magic in order to continue on the family name. At age 12, Claire was training with her younger brother, Cid outside their house. Unfortunately, she was disappointed in his underwhelming performance and berated him for it before choosing to punish his brother.

Learning of her Curse
At some point in time, Claire learned that she is suffering from Demonic Possession. Fearful that she may not live long, she dedicated much of her life with Cid to spent time with him and quickly prepare him for the future.

At the age of 14, Claire started to show more symptoms of Demonic Possession until unbeknownst to her, Cid had secretly healed her of her ailment.

Kidnapping and Rescue
3 years later, Claire was ready to travel to the capital of Midgar Kingdom and attend the Midgar Royal Spellsword Academy. But one night, the Order of Diabolos infiltrated her family home and kidnapped her with the purpose of using her for their experiments.

Claire was held inside a dungeon where she learned that her kidnapper was Viscount Olba. After delivering some cruel comments about him, she was inquired by Olba if she had suffered Demonic Possesion. She vaguely confirmed it but she accidentally brought up about Cid during their conversation causing Viscount Olba to decide to bring him in as well for questioning. Claire, enraged at this, broke free from her chains and was about to attack the viscount until the latter knocked her to unconsciousness. She was rescued by Cid and his Shadow Garden and returned home.

Confronting the First Princess
Claire hurriedly confronted Iris Midgar after learning that her brother was suspected for kidnapping Iris's sister, Alexia. She knew that whether or not Cid was a suspect, this would ultimately lead to his execution. Claire vouched that her brother was innocent. This did not move Iris causing Claire to nearly assault her but was dragged out before that could happened.

Abilities
Having trained since childhood, Claire's abilities are high above than those of normal Spellswords. At the age 15, she is strong to easily break free from her chains and despite getting her skin ripped in the process, she is barely phased by this due to intense rage at Viscount Olba who became a threat to her brother's life.
