Claire Tenebrarum ((top)) Online

She is not a villain in the traditional sense, nor a hero. She is a conduit — a person through whom the forgotten, the repressed, and the twilight-blooming truths of the world find voice.

Pale, sharp-featured, with eyes the color of stained glass in an abandoned chapel. She dresses in muted grays and deep indigos, but her hands are always clean, always still. When she speaks, it is in a low, measured cadence — as if each word has traveled up from a very deep, very old well. claire tenebrarum

Claire believes darkness is not evil. It is depth . To be clear ( claire ) about the dark ( tenebrarum ) is to see without illusion. She offers no exorcisms, no banishings.
