Character: Claire Bennett
Journal: persical
Canon: Tales of Rebirth
Current Canon Point: After the ceremony for Geyorkias's revival, when she switches bodies with Agarte

Desired Canon Point: the top of Mt. Sovereign, before the battle with Zilva.

Changes: Claire has to adjust to her new body, as well as strike out on her own, as she wakes up in an unfamiliar place surrounded by people who keep mistaking her for the Queen. However, no matter what dangerous situations she gets into, she keeps her faith in Veigue. She begins to witness firsthand the discrimination facing Callegea's citizens, something she wasn't aware of as an isolated country girl. She's exposed to the best and worst of people, getting sheltered by a man whose father despises Gajuma, or almost being sold in a black market auction.

Eventually she's picked up by a man who gives her to his daughter as a servant. The girl, Susie, was one of the kidnapped women just like Claire herself, and her father thinks that having a servant that looks like the queen to order around will help her overcome her ordeal. However, Susie doesn't have the heart to do so, and doesn't share her father's prejudice against Gajuma--she was saved by Veigue and his friends, of which Eugene Gallardo, a Gajuma, was one of them. She tells Claire to escape while she can, and lets her go. Claire ends up wandering into the city slums, where the Gajuma of the city are forced to live as second-class citizens. Moved by their plight, she returns to Susie's father, the mayor, to plead on their behalf.

He orders her execution. It will be public, in an attempt to dishearten the Gajuma population even further. But Claire musters her courage enough to use her "last words" to try to appeal to the hearts of the watching crowd, saying that everyone, no matter what race they are, feels the same on the inside. Veigue sees the speech, mistaking her for the Queen at first, but when he hears her words about eating peach pie at home in her village, he realizes the woman facing down death is actually Claire. He manages to save her in the nick of time by using his ice Force to freeze the guillotine blade in place.

Reunited at last, Claire tells Veigue that she knew he'd be able to tell it was her, no matter what she looked like. Though the moment is heartwarming, those words return to haunt the pair. With the truth out, Agarte, in Claire's body, runs away in shame. Veigue wants to look for her in order to make her give Claire's body back, but there's a more pressing matter at hand. Veigue and his companions are looking for a way to rid the world of the negative emotions causing the racial conflicts across the kingdom, by making pacts with powerful creatures called "Sacred Beasts". Each Beast chooses a member of the party to undergo a trial and gain their power.

Claire travels with the group on their journey until Veigue's turn comes to meet the Beast of Water, Shaorune. Veigue's trial targets his doubts about Claire, and his fixation on returning her body to normal. He can't seem to reconcile her new appearance with the girl he knows, and it troubles him. Claire begins to realize this, and it troubles her, too. It all comes to a head when the emotions Veigue has been repressing cause his Force to go berserk and make him attack his companions, screaming Claire's name the whole time. Horrified, Claire decides that her presence does him no good, and runs off. She is picked up by Milhaust, the captain of the Queen's guard. He knows her identity but asks her to act as Queen for the time being, to assuage some of the people's fears, in return for his protection.

In the meantime, Veigue and the others manage to uncover the truth behind King Ladras's death. It turns out that his aide, Zilva, also possesses the Force of Moon that Agarte has: the ability to switch bodies with another person. She used her power to take the body of the king's physician, Dr. Barrs, and poison Ladras. With Agarte as Queen, she then had a young, troubled and malleable ruler to manipulate. The kidnapping of the girls was all done by her urging, to unsettle the kingdom and discredit Agarte enough for her to take power. Possessing a seething hatred of Huma, she swears to eradicate all of them once she is in control of Callegea.

Veigue and Claire reunite and manage to settle some of their differences, especially since Veigue received quite a scolding from his friends for his behavior. The group then leaves Agarte and Claire in Milhaust's care when they go to put an end to Zilva's plot, but the two women beg him to let them help. He relents, and leads them to the others. Veigue and Milhaust duel, Milhaust wanting to test the other's resolve and make sure he has the ability to defeat Zilva. Veigue wins, and his opponent wishes him luck. Claire and Veigue then exchange words of confidence in each other before the coming battle, their troubles finally resolved.

Veigue: Claire!!

Veigue: ……Claire!! Are you……alive……?
Claire: ……Veigue……?
Veigue: Claire……! Does it hurt anywhere? How are you feeling……?
Claire: Yes……I……
Veigue: Claire……
Veigue: ……Claire……are you shivering?
Claire: ……n, no. That’s wrong, Veigue……
Claire: ……it’s a little cold in here……I want to feel the sun……
Veigue: Claire!!

Veigue: Claire……I’m sorry……
Claire: ……what happened? What……on earth……?
Veigue: ……don’t you remember……?
Claire: I remember being engulfed by a blue light
that came out of your body……and then……I……
Mao: ……you have been imprisoned in the ice all that time.
Claire: ……you are……?
Veigue: ……he is the one that helped me save you……
Mao: Nice to meet you. I’m Mao. This is……
Eugene: Eugene Gallardo.
Eugene: ……you were swallowed up by Veigue’s force that was running wild.
Eugene: And, from one year ago until now……when Veigue finally freed you.
Veigue: Claire……I’m really sorry……
Claire: …………
Mao: ……Veigue didn’t imprison you in the ice on purpose.
Mao: I’m sure you have tried to save her many times in the past. ……right Veigue?
Claire: Veigue……your hand is full of scratches……
Veigue: …………
Claire: In order to help me……?
Veigue: ……however, I wasn’t able to do anything……all I could do was watch over you.
Claire: …………
Veigue: Claire…… I'm not really sure what I can do for you from now on……
Claire: ……ah! Veigue, I……have to return home.
Claire: My Father and Mother are probably worried, so I want to ease their minds.
Claire: Veigue, thank you for saving me.
Claire: Since I’m energetic as usual.
Claire: ……umm……if you would like, you two can rest at my house.
Claire: Although I can’t entertain you that well, you can wait while I prepare a meal.

Claire: Yes. It’s very enjoyable.
Claire: Eugene-san, please continue.
Eugene: ……the force that came from his majesty became light, and it rained on the whole country, and it awoke the force that was sleeping inside people.
Eugene: The people whose special abilities suddenly awakened were terrified, and their forces went wild one after another. During that, great damage was caused, and Karegia collapsed in chaos……
Mao: That means it wasn’t just you.
Veigue: …………
Eugene: ……the crisis continues. At the same time that people’s forces went wild, there was a large outbreak of viruses, and they have started to attack people.
Eugene: This large global disaster, on top of the death of King Ladras is what people have started calling the ‘Setting Sun of Ladras’.
Eugene: With the ‘Setting Sun of Ladras’ many peoples lives were lost, and even now, that wound still remains……
Claire: The whole world……something like that……it’s a pity……
Claire: Ah, I shouldn’t do that. I’m interrupting your conversation.
Mao: Even Claire-san has gone through a lot of dangerous things……
Veigue: She has from long ago……it seems she worries about others more than herself……
Mao: By that way, the person left behind by the late king that will succeed him, that’s Agarte-sama……
Veigue: Agarte……Ladras’ only child, Princess Agarte?
Mao: Yes. Right now, it’s Queen Agarte. Agarte-sama suddenly became suspicious about the circumstances.
Eugene: Although his majesty substituted his own life to emit the force, there must be some important reason.
Eugene: We are traveling in order to find the truth of the disaster in the kingdom that started with the ‘Setting Sun of Ladras’.
Mao: For that reason, partnering with people who possess strong forces like yours is necessary.
Veigue: …………
Popura’s Voice: I’m coming in!!
Claire: Popura-obasan!!
Popura: Thank goodness you’re alright Claire-chan! I was really worried about you.
Claire: I am sorry I made you worry so much.

Zapie: Kiki!

Popura: Oh……guests……? If you’d like you can eat it with them.
Mao: ……loving peach pies. Veigue-‘chan’……
Veigue: …………
Popura: Since it’s a dish I’m proud of, savor it well♪ So then, see you later.
Veigue: Ah, obasan……
Veigue: ……thank you.
Mao: Delicious!! This is extremely delicious!!
Veigue: ……however, continuing the conversation, for why you’re traveling, strong force users are necessary?
Mao: Ah……oops, I shouldn’t have done that. I just forgot.
Mao: ……because of that situation, we might have to fight against the country. Some of our enemies are also force users. Skillful, strong force users.
Veigue: ……I am thankful to you. However, I can’t become your partner.
Mao: Eh?
Veigue: I am now, in this town……since I can’t be separated from this family.
Mao: What do you mean?
Veigue: I caused a big problem……that’s why, without doing to atone for it, I can’t go far away from this town……
Claire: Veigue, thank you……
Claire: But, you didn’t do anything bad. That’s why I don’t want you using a word like atone.
Claire: And also, since you’re necessary to these people, why don’t you lend them your power? ……right?
Veigue: It’s not just you Claire.
Claire: Huh……?

Claire: Monica……
Tomah: Oh, that girl?
Monica: You’re wrong!! That girl is……!!
Tomah: Shut up!!
Claire: Monica……!!

Claire: …………
Saleh: How about it? I wonder how important that life is to you?
Claire: ……I understand……

Claire: ……before that, lower her, and please release everyone. If you don’t do that, I won’t go.
Veigue: Claire……!
Saleh: Claire-chan, if you really promise to come with us, I will let those girls go.
Claire: I promise. So everyone……
Saleh: Understood.
Saleh: Release the girls.
Monica: Claire……I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s my fault……
Claire: Monica, it’s not your fault……
Monica: ……but, if you go with them, you might be in for a rough time……
Saleh: It’s alright. Since Claire-chan will be handled as someone who is very important.
Monica: …………
Saleh: It’s getting to be time to depart.

Veigue: ……Claire……don’t go……
Saleh: Everyone, withdraw!!
Marco: Claire!!
Claire: Father, Mother……
Claire: Zapie……please don’t go.

Claire: Veigue, look……

Veigue: ……thank you Claire.
Claire: Fufufu♪

Misha: The tall, scary faced, big sword holding, long haired Huma called Veigue might come.
Veigue: Who, that patient was called……?
Misha: I don’t really know the name, but it was a girl about the same age as you.
Mao: That, no way……
Veigue: Claire……was it Claire?
Misha: Uh……ahh……sensei can tell you in detail……

Curia: Saying injured, although soldiers brought her here, it was only a scratch. I disinfected it.
Veigue: ……did Claire say anything to you?
Curia: Yes, she left a verbal message.
Veigue: Message?
Curia: “Do not ride a boat.”
Veigue: Don’t ride a boat……? Anything else?
Curia: The soldiers were strictly observing, and she could barely say that.
Veigue: Claire……

Saleh: Well, we will rest here for today. I’m think you already know, but outside the guards and me are keeping watch.
Saleh: Don’t get any strange ideas if you know what’s good for you. Since there are other guys here with powers that you don’t know.
Claire: …………
Saleh: Hehehe……don’t worry. If you’re obedient your safety will be guaranteed.
Saleh: You are important things. We decided to not hurt you. So don’t do things like cry or grieve. Since sorrow overshadows beauty.
Saleh: Well then, see you later.
Note: Talking to the girls Claire tries to cheer them up and also says that Veigue will surely come since he always helps her out. Also,　if they escape, they should think of a way to escape together, since their all friends now. Nothing they say is of any real importance.

Place the Girls are Being Held Pt.2

Claire: Veigue……Where are you right now? Are coming close……?
Claire: …………
Claire: Absolutely……He’ll absolutely come for me……Veigue……

Flashback

Claire: ……it’s OK Veigue. It’s just a little bruise.
Veigue: You’re hurt……are you really all right?
Claire: Yeah……thank you for saving me. Alone, I wouldn’t have been able to climb back up that cliff……
Veigue: I’ll come to save you anytime. When you’re in trouble……or when you’re crying……
Claire: ……hehe……Veigue……you’ve made me happy……

Imperial Guard: Today the person who is honored to be called by the Queen is Claire Bennett. Take a step forward.
Claire: Y, yes……
Zilva: You don’t have to be so stiff. Her majesty just wants to have a pleasant chat with you if that is all right.
Claire: Yes.
Zilva: Then, please follow me.

Agarte: Thank you for coming. What is your name……?
Claire: Claire. I live in Sulz.
Agarte: Your face, and your arms and legs……they’re beautiful……
Claire: ……eh? Ah……thank you for your wonderful praise your majesty.
Agarte: With that beauty, anyone who looks at you will love you.
Claire: eh……?
Agarte: Even with that beauty……beautiful face…smooth skin……
Claire: umm……is appearance, really that important?
Agarte: What did you say?
Claire: umm……sorry……but, I……when some starts to like another person, I think that looks are not the most important thing.
Claire: I’ve heard that back when my parents met, it was when they were lost in a dark cave.
Agarte: …………
Claire: In the dark cave, they gave each other encouragement while they looked for a way out.
Claire: The next morning, when they got out of the cave, they saw each other’s face for the first time and burst out laughing.
Agarte: ……why?
Agarte: What he thought was a frail, cute girl, was full of mud, and ruffled hair. And what she thought was a strong helpful man, was an unshaven scrawny man.
Claire: They were laughing at their own imagination. When they were in the cave they were prince and princess.
Agarte: …………
Claire: But after getting out of the cave they still liked each other.
Claire: That’s why I think that way. A is not a ‘person’s shape, but their heart that you come to like.
Agarte: If after they got out of the cave one was a Huma and the other a Gajuma, even then, could you say the same thing?
Claire: I think I could say that. I think if you have come to like someone, considering things like being a Huma or a Gajuma doesn’t mean anything.
Agarte: No meaning? Are you serious?
Claire: Yes.
Agarte: It’s a lie……tell the truth……Gajuma bodies are ugly……that’s the way all Huma’s think isn’t it?
Claire: ……Your majesty……?
Agarte: In me, there was no ‘darkness’……!
Agarte: All of my actions are always being watched, and without being able to leave the castle, thinking that I couldn’t meet anyone……
Claire: ……maybe your majesty……
Agarte: ……Silence!!
Agarte: You have the thing that I want most……!!
Claire: Queen……Agarte……
Claire: …………
Zilva: Queen……how do you feel?
Agarte: I felt very good……until now I was completely wrong……but this child……Claire will help me……
Zilva: Have a little more patience. When the day of the ceremony comes, your power……
Agarte: That’s right……when the ceremony ends, everything will be over……
Zilva: No, it won’t be over. After the ceremony, you, and the country will be reborn. It will be the great beginning.
Agarte: When it’s reborn……perhaps that person would look at me……
Agarte: Perhaps I’ll be able to live with that person in the same world……
Zilva: Don’t be anxious. Because when you are reborn, the wall that separates you two will disappear.
Agarte: Thank you……
Zilva: Who’s there!?
????: Damn it……!
Zilva: ……who! Who……!
Claire: ……Veigue……

Marco: From now on, this boy is part of the family. I hope you two get along.
Claire: I’m Claire. Nice to meet you.
Claire: ……? Your name, please tell me♪
Veigue: I…I’m Veigue……
Claire: Nice to meet you.

Agarte: Karegia’s vast land’s shining moon. Karegia’s vast land’s sleeping king’s spirit. The time has come.

Agarte: Splendid……the light has become blood, and it seems to be surrounding my body……the feeling of this light……
Agarte: Power……my body is becoming full ……my ‘moon’ is becoming full……
Agarte: The ceremony was a success……the ‘Anointed King’s power has been resurrected……
Agarte: ……Claire, come here.
Veigue: Claire……Claire!!
Zilva: Seize that person!
Veigue: Get out of my way!!
Zilva: You’re in the way. I can’t give you this girl now!
Veigue: Claire……Why is Claire necessary!?
Veigue: Get away from Claire!!
Agarte: Give up. Right now all your attacks against me are useless.
Agarte: My power……since I’ve obtained the ‘Anointed King’s power……
Veigue: Stop!!
Veigue: Ahh!!
Agarte: Foolish……obediently watch!
Eugene: Your majesty……! You, what are you……
Agarte: Finally, the time has come for my dream to come true……finally, this feeling……
Veigue: Claire!!
Agarte: Aah……! What……what’s happening……Zilva!!

Geyorkias: This is my second coming. I will erase your evil, unclean footprints.
Veigue: What!?
Hilda: Look out!
Mao: That was amazing!!
Veigue: Claire!!
Geyorkias: Now, I will carry out my mission.
Mao: Mission!? What’s that!?
Geyorkias: My mission is to bring about peace on earth, namely annihilating the Huma.
Eugene: Annihilating the Huma!? For what reason!?
Geyorkias: For the entire world. I can’t permit things to stand in my way. Perish.
Mao/Tytree: Aah!!
Veigue: I will protect Claire!! This time I will definitely protect her!!!
Tytree: I don’t know about this Sacred Beast King, but I won’t just be silently destroyed!!
Veigue: Let’s go!!
Geyorkias: Aaahhhh……
Agarte: ……Aaahhhh……
Geyorkias: Aaahhhh……
Mao: Geyorkias’ power and the ‘Force of Moon’ are repelling each other.
Hilda: Of course……that power can’t be controlled with a ‘person’s power……?
Milhaust: Your majesty……!
Milhaust: What in the world……is happening?
Zilva: Why, why is this thing……
Milhaust: Your majesty!!
Veigue: Claire!!
Party Except Veigue: Veigue!!
CG
Mao: Veigue!!
Veigue: …………
Mao: That’s great……that’s great Veigue……
Veigue: ……yes.
Eugene: …………
Eugene: ……her majesty is?
Milhaust: …………
Eugene: ku……
Milhaust: …………
Veigue: …………
Zilva: ……what should I do……I……

--after this point, "Claire" and Agarte" have switched, so every time it says "Agart", it's really Claire in her body.

Agarte: ……uh……
Agarte: …………
Agarte: ……this is……
Igol: Are you alright?
Agarte: …………
Igol: H, Hey……!

Agarte: ……this is……
Igol: Ah, did you come to? This is my house in Razilda.
Agate: I……why…………to Karegia Castle…………although I was at……
Igol: Karegia Castle? Then did you come from Balka……why are you here? And yet with those clothes.
Igol: There is probably some reason but……it’s fine I shouldn’t pry too deep. But are you hungry?
Agarte: No, I……
Igol: Hahaha……that was an appropriate response. Wait a minute.
Agarte: What is it?
Igol: Be quiet……my father came back. He has a big hate for Gajumas. There will be trouble if he finds you……
Gate Watcher: Hey Hack, let’s go.
Igol: ……Hack?
Igol: What is my father sneaking around with that guy for? Also, who on earth is he……

Agarte: ……it’s noisy outside……I wonder what it is……?
Agarte: This is……
Agarte: Are you alright? What happened?
Florist: I don’t know……the adults just started fighting……
Agarte: Can I have that flower? If you crumple it up and rub it on the wound, it can be used as medicine.
Florist: I’ll help too!
Agarte: I wonder where these people be taken to rest.
Florist: The inn, it has a few beds.
Agarte: Then, let’s move them to the inn. Will you help me?
Florist: Yes!

Igol: What, you……You are here?
Agarte: Ah, yes. I left abruptly, sorry.
Igol: No, it’s fine……I’m sorry. There was a lot of confusion brought here just now.
Agarte: No that’s……
Igol: Veigue-tachi also already apologized but……
Hack: they were here a minute ago……
Veigue: Veigue……? Veigue is here?
Hack: eh? Eh, eh……are you an acquaintance of Veigue’s?
Agarte: Yes! Where is he……?
Hack: I suppose he went to Kyogen didn’t he. I recommended him to go there.
Agarte: ……Kyogen……

Girl: So then, by that subordinate of Wan Gin, you were?
Agarte: Yes, I was on may from Razilda, when I was attacked by viruses and was saved.
Agarte: Since I was going to Kyogen, I said we should go together, although when we arrived……this happened……
Girl: I had a similar thing happen……I was just coming here across the ocean from Minal but……
Agarte: ……it seems like they brought someone.
Girl(2): I wonder if they brought another one just like us?
Agarte: Maybe……
Girl(2): ……what’s going to happen to us……I’m scared……
Agarte: Don’t give up! If you don’t throw away your hope, and you believe, since somehow it will be alright……that time……

Claire: Someone, is someone there?
Agarte: Yes.
Claire: Tell me, what are they going to do with us. What will happen after this!?
Subordinate: Shut up!! Be quiet!!
Agarte: Please calm down.
Agarte: It’s alright, from what I heard, they aren’t going to do anything.
Claire: What do you mean……?
Agarte: I don’t know the details.
Agarte: But please don’t give up hope. There absolutely has to be a way to escape from here. Let’s think together.
Claire: ……together……
Agarte: Right. We aren’t alone.
Agarte: Also, my important friend and his comrades are also coming to this town. There is definitely a chance they will visit.
Claire: …………
Claire: ……you are……very strong aren’t you.
Agarte: ……actually, I’m very scared, and sad, and discouraged.
Agarte: Since I’m not surrounded by the people I love and since one unbelievable thing after another has happened to me……
Agarte: Every night when I sleep I think that when I open my eyes it will all be just a dream but……Of course it’s not a dream, and there is no one close to me and I’m alone.
Claire: …………
Agarte: But at that this time, I think that way. My heart is not alone.
Claire: Heart……
Agarte: That’s right. Right now, this wall is here, but you can feel the same things as me.
Agarte: If you open up your heart, you can’t make a wall between other peoples hearts.
Agarte: That’s why, you and me are not alone. Together we will do our best.
Claire: …………

Zapie: kiki!!
Girl: What……??
Agarte: Zapie, is it Zapie?
Zapie: ki!!
Agarte: Zapie!!
Girl: ……you know it?
Agarte: Yes……it’s Zapie. My family member.
Agarte: You being here means……Veigue-tachi are near here? I suppose you can’t tell them I’m in here……
Agarte: ……right……I’m going to write a letter, wait a minute.
Agarte: Wait a minute. Since we are adjusting our dresses.
Ku Hou: Do it quickly.
Zapie: …………
Agarte: Deliver this to Veigue.
Agarte: Zapie, please.
Zapie: kiki!!
Agarte: I’ve just called for help. I’m sure my friends will come for us.
Agarte: It seems I am being taken somewhere right now. If you escape, please tell him about me.
Claire: Yes……I’ll tell him. Your name is……?
Agarte: ……Claire. Claire Bennett.
Agarte: Your name is?
Claire: My name is……
Claire: I am……
Ku Hou: ……again?
Agarte: I’m coming now.
Girl(2): You’re going?
Agarte: It’s alright, since they will definitely come to help……
Claire: ……Claire-san……please be safe……
Agarte: ……thank you.
Ku Hou Let’s go.

Scarab: fufufu………a Gajuma that resembles the queen. Susie will also be delighted……
Scarab: At any rate Susie……where did she say she went?
Scarab: Susie! What were you doing? You said you went that far alone……but have you forgotten? That time you……
Susie: You worry to much father. I heard that previous incident is over now……
Susie: It couldn’t be……no, but, that couldn’t be……but she’s the spitting image……father this person couldn’t be, the queen?
Agarte: I am not the queen, I am……
Scarab: I that already. The real queen couldn’t come to this place alone.
Susie: But……to resemble her like this……
Scarab: Susie, this Gajuma will become your maid. Take her to your room and use her as you like.
Susie: Eh? That……I don’t need……
Scarab: Oh, don’t say that. With this girl you can clear away as much as you like the gloom you tasted when you were kidnapped by the ‘King’s Shield’. How about it?

Susie: Hey, are you……really not the queen?
Agarte: You’re wrong……I am not the queen. I am……
Susie: Whoever you are……If I look at you, I ‘m reminded of the time when I was kidnapped……
Susie: ……previously……I had been kidnapped because of the queen.
Susie: It’s not that you are bad but……I can’t have you near me. ……I don’t want you near me.
Susie: Just across the bridge live a collection of Gajumas. Since I’ll help you escape, please go there and take shelter.
Gate Watcher: Young lady, there are some people here to see you.
Susie: I’ll come soon!
Susie: Since I cleverly told the gate watcher……is good right?
Agarte: I……what is the best thing for me to do……
Gate Watcher: Hey! You!! Leave at once!

Agarte: ……this is……what a horrible place……why is there such a place in this country……
????: Queen……? That couldn’t be……
????: No……I’m sure of it. You’re Queen Agarte aren’t you? Why have you come to a place like this?
Agarte: Umm……Is this also Belsas? And why is this place so rough?
????: As expected……your majesty wouldn’t know about the circumstances of this Belsas.
????: In this town, the Humas hold all the power and we Gajumas were chased into these slums.
????: Before the ‘Setting Sun of Ladras’, both races had a coexisting relationship but……it is a story of long ago so to speak. Lately it has become especially horrible……
????: I was a little slow in saying, but I am Janie. I am the person that is in charge of the Gajumas here.
Janie: Whatever the story is for your majesty to come here. Please hear our peoples voices.
Agarte: ……but, I am……
Janie: Everyone will absolutely be happy! Please!
Agarte: ……understood……

Talking to Susie

Agarte: There is a place this horrible in Karegia……
Janie: Do you understand your majesty?
Agarte: Yes……I can’t abandon this type of situation……
Janie: Your majesty……I would like to ask you to acknowledge this situation for the Gajumas like yourself.
Janie: I think to improve the situation you should have a meeting with the Huma leader Scarab.
Janie: However, even if we want you to meet him, he won’t lend an ear to our words.
Janie: But, if it was the queen that was to talk to him, I think he might listen. Therefore, please!
Agarte: ……understood. If it is something I can do……I will undertake it.
Janie: Really!? Thank you! This is a very fortunate day! I am very thankful to you!!

Susie: You, why have you returned?
Agarte: I have something to speak to Scarab-san about.
Susie: I can’t, if my father learns that you escaped, I……
Scarab: ……the Gajuma from the slums……what are you doing with my daughter! Don’t lay a hand on that Gajuma girl!! She is this house’s maid!
Agarte: Scarab-san, I have something I need to talk to you about!
Scarab: Talk to me? With a maid’s social standing, and furthermore a Gajuma, what is with this self-importance……
Agarte: Please listen! It’s about the Gajuma that live in the slums!
Scarab: The slums……? What are you spouting about them?
Agarte: Will you listen to my story?
Scarab: ……fine, just come inside!
Agarte: Please wait here.
Man: But……
Agarte: It’s alright.
Susie: Ah, wait a minute……

Scarab: Because of that you came to me to have a discussion about the Gajumas?
Agarte: Yes……the Gajumas were chased out of town, and forced to live in poor conditions, is that not a mistake?
Agarte: Originally, didn’t the Gajumas and Humas here live to together as friends?
Agarte: will you listen to my story? Please listen to their complaints.
Scarab: ……I refuse. Why should you instruct such a thing?
Agarte: Instruct……it only pains me. Everyone should get along, but with these circumstances……
Scarab: It is the way of this town.
Agarte: But……but……I think the way of this town is wrong. Why don’t you set up all the Gajumas in the slums with a high position?
Scarab: What are you trying to instigate!! You imposter!
Agarte: That’s not true! ……merely!!
Scarab: Shut up!! Someone, someone!
Scarab: Lock her in an unoccupied room. If she cools her head for a little while, she’ll calm down.
Agarte: at least listen to their story! Please!
Subordinate: That’s enough, come with us!!

Agarte: Please, their story……please listen to their story.
Scarab: Shut up! You Gajuma……you liar.
Scarab: I will teach you Gajuma a lesson by making her a sacrifice.
Scarab: However, we have just a little time before that. Even if you should apologize or beg for your life. It won’t be more sensational……fufufu……
Agarte: …………

Agarte: Everyone, please listen. We, Humas and Gajumas have been walking in the path of coexistence as neighbors and good friends. But now we are starting a war. The difference of races... Just for that reason. What is a race? Even if we all look different, we still smile when we're happy and cry when we're sad. Why is that? It's because all of our hearts are the same. I have thought about this. That our bodies are nothing more than just containers for the hearts of People. If there really must be a race, it would be just one race of the People that walk on this earth. Try to remember. There should have been a time where we laughed, cried, grieved and cheered together. Like someone being friendly to you or eating something delicious together with friends. In a village I know, an aunt would bake pies and everyone would gather around waiting for her. Humas and Gajumas were the same, they ate those pies tastefully. I'm not saying this because I'm scared of dying. It's actually because I think living and hating the people you love is as sad as death. Please listen to my last wish. If someday you all come to eat pie…… Eat a peach pie someday, just close your eyes once and think about this. In your heart that thinks it's delicious, is there a race in there?

--and the truth comes out. back to their real names.

Milhaust: ……really, are you really Agarte-sama?
Milhaust: Are you saying it’s possible to switch a person’s spirit?
Agarte: ……‘Force of Moon’……if you use the force handed sown in the royal family, that is the special ability……
Hilda: ‘Force of Moon’……if you have that……you can obtain another person’s body?
Milhaust: Why, something like this……
Agarte: …………
Eugene: Why were you silent up until now?
Agarte: ……I’m sorry……I didn’t plan on not telling……but……I couldn’t say it……
Milhaust: Please stop your majesty……I am the one at fault……
Milhaust: If I noticed at the time you returned to Karegia Castle……
Agarte: Milhaust……
Tytree: So what was the problem!! Because of that, Claire-san……umm, the real Claire-san, how much did she have to suffer……
Eugene: Your majesty, did you have knowledge about your own body still being alive?
Agarte” ……I noticed in Razilda……when I was captured in Kyogen, in the room next door……
Tytree: What did you say!!
Tytree: Then, you knew Claire san had been taken, and you were silent!!
Agarte: I’m sorry……I’m sorry……I’m sorry……
Claire: Everyone, please don’t criticize her anymore.
Tytree: But……
Claire: If you’re appearance changes, you’re reactions become different. Even though she really wanted to tell you, she wasn’t able to.
Claire: I have an understanding of Queen Agarte’s feelings.
Veigue: ……anyway, I want you to return Claire’s body immediately. That is my only wish……
Agarte: I……I……
Agarte: I’m sorry……I’m really sorry……
Milhaust: Your majesty!!
Tytree: What? What on earth happened?
Veigue: Anyway, let’s chase after her!!

Talking to Milhaust

Eugene: Her Majesty is?
Milhaust: ……I lost sight of her……
Veigue: Claire can’t remain that way forever. Quickly let’s go locate her……
Milhaust: I know…………I will locate Her Majesty! And also, her former body……absolutely!
Eugene: ……Milhaust……
Veigue: Let’s also chase after her.
Tytree: Yes, of course!
Mao: Wait a minute.
Mao: You don’t have that much time to spare.
Mao: You should hurry, don’t you want to finish the purification? Quickly come to where I am. In order to gain the power to purify the world.
Tytree: What about Claire?
Mao: It’s important to your heart right? Veigue, the person important to you ended up not being lost. Veigue: That is……
Mao: I am in Babilograd. I will look forward to meeting you in my nearby house.
Mao: So suddenly, it surprised me……so then……what are we going to do?
Veigue: Claire……
Claire: Me……? I’m alright. I have grown accustomed to this body, I feel fine as long as I’m with all of you. And also……since I am me.
Veigue: Claire……Is it really alright?
Claire: Yes, let’s go. To Babilograd!
Claire: Nice to meet you all. (Used minna-san, meaning all of you)
Tytree: Ah! Of course. You don’t need to use ‘san’. Nice to meet you Claire.
Eugene: Maybe you shouldn’t say that but……
Eugene: You have entered Agarte-sama’s body, but I’m glad it’s still you……until you return to your real body, I will definitely protect you. Even with my life.
Veigue: ……let’s depart.
Mao: Yes! Shoaling is waiting for us in Babilograd!

notice
Claire will be a traveling partner.

Claire: Veigue, what’s wrong?
Veigue: Claire……
Annie: Veigue, it started hasn’t it?
Veigue: ……it seems so……

Veigue: Your wrong……you aren’t Claire!!
Veigue: ……no, I’m sorry……that’s wrong……right now it wasn’t about you……
Claire: Veigue……
Veigue: …………
Eugene: Are we going?
Veigue: Do I look like I can’t go?
Eugene: Problem……
Tytree: Don’t answer a question with a question……
Tytree: It’s settled……!! I did it once like you.
Hilda: Isn’t it the case that you did something stupid?
Tytree: I know! But, at the time it wasn’t cheerful.
Tytree: You’ll fail the test with that pessimistic face!!
Veigue: Tytree……
Tytree: A person with a knack for speaking can be useful once in a while right?
Veigue: ……it’s wrong……I won’t allow it…………I……

Veigue: Claire……
Claire: Veigue……
Veigue: Claire……are you really Claire?
Veigue: Are you Claire? You really changed back……Claire……
Veigue: Thank goodness, Claire……thank goodness……
Veigue: Claire……? You haven’t changed back……?
Claire: Veigue……
Veigue: ……keh!!
Veigue: What do you want to say!! Answer me!! Shoaling!!
Claire: Veigue, I’m sorry.
Veigue: Claire, you wrong……it’s me, me……I’m sorry……
Claire: …………

Frantz: No, it hasn’t been that long. Oh……you have another new friend?
Claire: Nice to meat you. I am Claire.
Frantz: Claire? If I’m not mistaken……wasn’t that the name of the girl that was with you before?
Veigue: Actually……
Frantz: ……what……the Claire-kun I met before was her majesty……
Frantz: ……to believe so suddenly, a story of switching spirits……but I don’t think you would lie……
Mao: Do you know of anyway to return them to normal?
Frantz: It’s regrettable, but I don’t seem know of that power……
Frantz: Honestly I barely believe your story.
Tytree: Anyway, anyway, do you know of a town where lots of Halfs live?
Frantz: A town where lots of Halfs live?
Frantz: It’s a difficult problem……a place of a town huh, since there aren’t even that many Halfs.
Frantz: However, if there is such a place, I would also try to go.
Annie: Frantz also doesn’t know……perhaps there is no town……?
Frantz: Annie-kun, don’t abandon it yet.
Frantz: I say this from experience, hints for what you’re searching for will turn up in unexpected places.
Mao: Hmm……so you’re saying it has to do with “self searching”?
Frantz: Self searching? Ah, ahh……well it might have something to do with that……
Tytree: ……then Hilda’s self searching also?
Claire: ……there might be a hint with Hilda-san……
Veigue: Speaking of Hilda……

Veigue: So this is Mocrado Village……?
Claire: A place like this has become inhabited by people and became a town……
Mao: Although they don’t have to purposely live in such a remote place right?
Eugene: ……there must be some circumstances.
Eugene: We might be an uninvited guest. Let’s be careful.
Hilda: ……‘Bearer of Death’ card……
Veigue: What’s wrong?
Hilda: It’s nothing.

Hilda: It’s bad but, don’t say anymore……
Tytree: But……
Hilda: ……leave me alone……
Tytree: …………
Veigue: …………
Veigue: ……don’t push yourself……
Hilda: …………
Veigue: We’ll be waiting at the inn……
Claire: ……Hilda-san……
Claire: Will you try to speak to your mother one more time? Although you finally got to meet her, don’t leave it like this……
Hilda: ……talk about what?
Hilda: That person……she said she didn’t want to look at a Half child! You heard her right?
Claire: But she seemed strange……there may be some reason.
Hilda: I don’t want to talk about a reason……!
Claire: ……Hilda-san, you don’t want to talk to your mother?
Hilda: What do you know? Importantly……importantly……you were raised by you’re parents as something important……
Claire: …………!
Claire: Are you……scared……
Hilda: Scared……? Me?
Claire: Yes, you’re scared. But, what are you scared of?
Claire: Can you’re hate to your mother change? Will you recognize the part of yourself that wants to meet your mother!? Have you been denying yourself up until now?
Hilda: …………
Claire: ……does it hurt? I also hurt. But, this pain has taught you.
Claire: You hold strong feelings for your mother……and anxiety……
Hilda: …………
Claire: Since if you fear pain, you can’t get the thing that you want.
Hilda: ……you……since you have a body you don’t want, I thought you would understand but……
Claire: ……since I have gained this body, I feel I understand the thing called myself more than before……
Claire: Even when I look in the mirror, there is another persons figure. But, I feel I am ‘me’.
Claire: It seems like my spirit is threw, and it is entered in the center of my body……
Claire: That is why, even though I am like this, I am still me……
Claire: Hilda-san is Hilda-san, since it’s the way your heart thinks right……?
Hilda: Claire……
Claire: I’m sorry, I said something terrible……
Hilda: ……you are a miraculous kid.
Claire: ……let’s go back to where everyone is.

Tytree: What have you been up to Claire?
Claire: Fufu……it’s a secret……
Claire: But think about what we do next.
Claire: Although we found Hilda’s mother, we didn’t learn anything about the sacred beast.
Mao: But the mother who is necessary turned us away……
Tytree: Although at first it seemed good. Although she talked about the horn, could that be something……?
Eugene: Horn……Naira’s horn……possibly Hilda’s……hmm……
Hilda: ……I wonder why that person tore up my cards……
Veigue: It seems we must speak with Naira-san again but……
Hilda: ……I will also go.
Hilda: Since if I fear pain, I can’t get the thing that I want.
Claire: …………

Claire: The women crowned with two horns……
Claire: “In the northern town where lamenting people gather, the women crowned with two horns, when you grasp the ancient stars with those hands, return to the destiny exhausted earth”……
Claire: Perhaps this is Naira’s writing? I think this might somehow be Naira-san hinting at something but……
Tytree: Ancient stars, is it about tarots? Can you tell Hilda?
Annie: ……didn’t she predict her own death with fortune telling?
Annie: But, suddenly Hilda showed up holding the same tarot cards and noticed “The women crowned with two horns”.
Veigue: ……so is that why, Naira-san tore up and threw away Hilda’s tarots?
Eugene: Yes……Hilda was refused after that, and she likely tried to get Hilda to leave the village where the prophecy would come true……
Hilda: ……what if that’s the case……she died in place of me……
Hilda: What I wished for……is not his letter, or rescuing my life!!
Hilda: The thing I wanted was……to tell that person……
Hilda: ……I……never once called that person mother……
Hilda: ……mother……mother……

Veigue: This is the area around Sannytown. If I’m not mistaken, Sannytown was built on top of an island……however……
Veigue: Huh……this……?
Mao: Veigue, do you know something?
Veigue: On this map, Sannytown isn’t there.
Mao: Ah, really!!
Hilda: So that is what I felt was incompatible.
Annie: But, when this map was made, it was just Sannytown that wasn’t there……?
Mao: it is……
Claire: Could it be, Sannytown is the ‘Island of Illusion’?
Veigue: Sannytown is the ‘Island of Illusion’?
Claire: It is written in Aifread’s diary right? It said the island swam away.
Claire: But, if that is at the mouth of the Toyohose River?
Eugene: ……I don’t know what it means, but it seems worth investigating. Let’s head to Sannytown.

Tytree: It’s peaceful……is this peace?
Annie: It has returned to the former Karegia hasn’t it……?
Eugene: Perhaps……no, let’s hope that is it.
Hilda: If it hasn’t returned……
Claire: I……just want to see.
Veigue: Claire……
Mao: …………
Tytree: Huh? What’s wrong Mao? You don’t look happy?
Mao: ……I thought of saying it all along, but the words never came out……Actually, I……
Mao: Not a……‘person’.
Mao: Not a Huma or a Gajuma……or a Half……
Mao: I was created by the sacred beasts to resemble a ‘person’.
Mao: Not a……‘person’……
Annie: ……you’re joking right?
Mao: ……The sacred beasts sent me into the world as ‘eyes’ to observe the ‘people’.
Mao: Because of that, it wasn’t memory loss, I didn’t have memories from the start.
Hilda: You are different than a sacred beast?
Mao: Yes, I can think for myself, and act on my own.
Mao: Since I am not controlled by the sacred beasts.
Mao: That’s way……I want to ask all of you.
Mao: Even though I am like that, is it alright if I keep traveling with you?
Veigue: Mao……you are you.
Veigue: Even if you were made by the sacred beasts……no matter what form you take……you are you.
Mao: Veigue……
Veigue: ……Claire, you too……
Claire: Veigue……
Eugene: Over there!!

Claire: Hey, Veigue……I want to meet my parents……
Veigue: Claire……
Claire: Even if my parents see me in this form, I’m sure they will understand……
Claire: Even if I don’t return to normal……that’s why……
Veigue: Claire……I will definitely find Agarte, and try to return you to normal.
Veigue: When you have returned to normal……we will return.
Claire: Veigue……
Veigue: Everyone is waiting.
Veigue: Uh……no way……

Mao: Ah, they’re here!
Annie: You came from Pipista didn’t you?
Top: Right, but what of it?
Veigue: Since you left, there was an uproar in the town. You should go back soon.
Top: I don’t want to!
Veigue: Why?
Top: Since if I go back, I won’t be able to play with Lei.
Lei: I don’t want to go back either! All everyone does is fight, so it won’t be fun in the town.
Top: That’s why we came here, we thought we could ask the ‘Holy Bird’.
Top: For everyone to become friends. So I could play together with Lei……
Claire: I understand your feelings well.
Claire: But you know, I don’t think it’s good to make your father and mother worry.
Claire: Wishing isn’t bad, but how about telling everyone in town how you feel?
Lei: What should we do?
Claire: You two being friends, regardless of your appearance, they should learn from you two being able to be friends.
Top: What should we do……Lei?
Lei: ……let’s try doing what she said……Top……
Top: Yes, right. Since I want to play with you all the time.
Claire: Do your best! Since we will also help you.
Claire: So then, let’s return to Pipista.
Top/Lei: Right!
Veigue: Claire……
Claire: Yes……

Mao: Somehow everyone seems to be downcast.
Annie: But the people of Pipista could also think all sorts of things about race right?
Eugene: Yes……we did what we could.
Eugene: Afterwards when they think about it themselves, they will find the path to the solution.
Tytree: Alright! Let’s go to other towns!
Claire: Veigue……
Veigue: ……what’s wrong, Claire?
Claire: ……no, it’s nothing……it’s nothing but……
Claire: But, if you are worried, or troubled, say something……
Veigue: There is nothing to worry about. Let’s go.
Claire: Yes……
Veigue: …………!?

Curia: At any rate, the whole world is in disorder……
Curia: Everyday, all they do is quarrel……
Curia: The number of patients just increases one after another, and when I think I’ve cures them, they injure themselves fighting again……it has really become a pain……
Eugene: There are incidents that resemble this in other places……
Curia: ……by the way, where is Claire-san? And who is this Gajuma woman?
Claire: Curia-sensei, it’s been a while. I am Claire.
Curia: Eh! Claire-san……?
Claire: Although, this is the first time meeting you in this body.
Curia: Eh……with that body? What do you mean……?
Veigue: ……as a matter of fact……
Curia: ……Clair and the queen’s spirits were switched……really?
Curia: Then, when I met you at Nolzen, that means it was the queen?
Curia: I made her help me……I can’t believe it……
Eugene: Curia-sensei, we are going to take a short rest.
Curia: Take your time……
Curia: ……wait, Veigue: Your hand is injured isn’t it?
Veigue: No……this……
Curia: It’s alright, please come to my room. I will examine it.
Veigue: …………

Claire: What’s wrong Veigue!?
Veigue: It seems that yesterday, Misha met ‘Claire’ in this town.
Tytree: In other words, it was Agarte?
Veigue: She might still be in this town.
Veigue: If we can find Agarte, we can change Claire back!

Karegia Soldier: Hey, there is a ban on Humas going out.
Veigue: We a searching for someone. Please withdraw it.
Karegia Soldier: That is not allowed.
Claire: Please. It is a very important person.
Karegia Soldier: ……oh? You……it feels like you resemble Queen Agarte……
Karegia Soldier: Hey, everyone come over here!
Karegia Soldier: Hey, this girl……don’t you think she looks like Agarte-sama?
Karegia Soldier: She certainly resembles her well. Yes……it’s Queen Agarte.
Claire: I……am not Queen Agarte……
Karegia Soldier: I know that. Queen Agarte wouldn’t be in a place like this with people like them would she?
Karegia Soldier: Nevertheless, she is the spitting image of her. Could she unexpectedly be the real thing?
Veigue: ……your wrong……it’s not Agarte……
Veigue: ……it’s not Agarte……it’s Claire……
Karegia Soldier: It’s Queen Agarte.
Karegia Soldier: Yes, Queen Agarte.
Karegia Soldier: Queen Agarte, hurrah!
Veigue: Don’t call her Agarte!!
Karegia Soldier: What did you say!?
Veigue: This is Claire……Claire……Claire……!
Karegia Soldier: What’s with him!!
Veigue: …………!
Veigue: ……aaahhhh…………aaaaahhhhhh!!
Claire: Veigue!!
Eugene: No way, that is……!? Everyone, chase after Veigue!!

Veigue: Uuhh……
Claire: Veigue!!
Mao: Veigue’s force is running wild!!
Claire: Let go of me!!
Hilda: …………! Do you want to be frozen!?
Claire: …………!
Veigue: Aaahhhh!!
Claire: Veigue, calm down!!
Veigue: Uuhh……
Mao: It’s no good, he can’t hear us! If we don’t stop the force that is running wild quickly!
Hilda: Claire, leave this to us. Please stand back.
Eugene: Everyone, save Veigue!

Veigue: Uuhh……aaahhhh!!
Rest of Party: Aaahhhh!!
Claire: Veigue!!
Tytree: Strong……three and a half stars……
Claire: ……Veigue!!
Veigue: Claire……I will……absolutely return you……to your former body……
Claire: ……this……noooooooo!!

Claire: Veigue……as I thought, as I am now……is it bad……?
Claire: It’s bad……isn’t it……
Claire: I cause you pain, I’m sorry……thank you, for everything you have done……
Claire: ……goodbye……
Veigue: Claire!?
Zapie: Kikiki……kiki……
Veigue: ……Zapie……what on earth did I……?

Milhaust: After this, I am taking you to Balka.
Milhaust: I can’t say you will be surrounded by allies, but if you’re inside Karegia Castle, it’ll be safe.
Milhaust: I sincerely want to keep the fact that you and her majesty have switched bodies a secret.
Milhaust: You must persist that you are Agarte, queen of Karegia. Please try to behave like her.
Claire: Understood.
Milhaust: ……then let’s go, ‘Your Majesty’.

Claire: Everyone, I have made you worry.
Zilva: Ah, Queen……! I’m glad you’re safe……
Zilva: You must be tired from your long journey, please recuperate for a while.
Claire: However, under these circumstances, I can’t rest……
Zilva: You must.
Zilva: Right now it’s impossible, your rest should be the first thing, the country is really declining.
Zilva: So, let’s go to your room.
Claire: Um, I……
Zilva: Queen……quickly……

Claire: What is happening?
Milhaust: ……Razilda was annihilated. That is all that I know……
Milhaust: You have nothing to worry about. As Queen you should be here.
Claire: And you Milhaust?
Milhaust: I gave marching orders. I now have to head to Mount Sovereign.
Milhaust: …… Mount Sovereign is a sacred place related to the royal family that Veigue-tachi seem to be headed to.
Milhaust: I have to stop them. Because of that situation……
Claire: Veigue-tachi are fighting to save the country! You are fighting them for a reason like that……!
Milhaust: We are here to protect the country. Someone who doesn’t know it’s nature will cause more chaos.
Claire: But……
Aide: Shogun. Preperations have been arranged for our departure.
Milhaust: We will leave soon.
Milhaust: Well then, ‘Your Majesty’. I will be going.
Claire: …………
Claire: Veigue……is there nothing I can do……?

Claire: I was asked a big favor, for Milhaust-san.
Claire: I……because I wanted to say a word of apology to Veigue.
Veigue: Apologize……? About what?
Claire: For making you suffer, and leaving……
Claire: At that time, I thought it would be better if I wasn’t near you.
Claire: For your sake……
Claire: But, I that wasn’t so……I just ran away……I’m sorry……
Veigue: That’s alright Claire. It was my fault……
Veigue: ……if you don’t say it, there will be things that are not understood. I was told that from Tytree……
Veigue: It was because I didn’t say anything, that I hurt you……I’m sorry……
Claire: Veigue……
Veigue: From now on, I can we share our troubles together?
Claire: ……why have you become that way?
Veigue: …………?
Claire: Since up until now, we’ve been together haven’t we.
Claire: Laughing, hurting, and being angry……we have always done that together Veigue.
Claire: From now on……it’s the same isn’t it?
Veigue: Claire……
Veigue: Will you let us go?
Milhaust: ……I believe in you……is that good?
Veigue: I will leave Claire to you.
Veigue: ……let’s go.

Claire: Agarte-sama, don’t give up!!
Veigue: Force is the power of the heart! You can definitely depend on it now……
Agarte: But……
Claire: Agarte-sama, please try your best! Strongly……wish strongly!
Claire: Believe in your own heart……and the ‘power of people’s hearts’!
Agarte: ‘heart’s power’……
Claire: ……I feel it……everyone in the entire world’s thoughts……!!
Agarte: Father……
Claire: Veigue……
Eugene: The force……it’s power changed you back!?
Agarte: …………
Mao: Hooray!!
Tytree: Hooray!!
Claire: Agarte-sama……
Agarte: Sacred beast king, Geyorkias. Revive once more with the power in that moon!!
Shoaling: Veigue, everyone, now!!
Agarte: ……I have to do my best……so far everyone’s efforts……
Agarte: ……I won’t lose……I don’t want to lose!!
Agarte: Milhaust……!?

Claire: It’s a beautiful sky. It’s over isn’t it.
Veigue: Is it really alright like this.
Agarte: I feel the same way as you. No……not just me, I’m sure everyone feels the same. Thank you.
Eugene: Your majesty!
Milhaust: Your majesty……your majesty!!
Agarte: I knew since a long time ago……what would happen to the world, because of me. But I wanted a Huma body at any cost.
Milhaust: Why? Why?
Agarte: But, I finally understand what is really important. I risked the entire country for one person’s sake.
Milhaust: Please hang on!
Agarte: I only understood at the very end. I’m sorry. Please take care of this country.
Milhaust: What will we do without a queen?
Agarte: If you are there, it will be alright.
Milhaust: You’re wrong. Please live……for my sake. Agarte……
Agarte: Milhaust……I always loved you……
Milhaust: Agarte……
Veigue: The fights between the races still continue.
Milhaust: The hatred and sorrow might not disappear soon. However, we must march into it in order make this country reborn.
Eugene: We people must help build new bonds. It might take time but it should be possible.
Annie: Yes, I think so too. The time when people understand each other will come. Like it did for us.
Claire: We are all the same people. In order to face the calamity, the time when everyone’s hearts became one, the whole world’s people should be like that.

History: Wiki

(some of this is taken from my Mao app. Proof the journal belongs to me here.)

Claire was born and raised in the village of Sulz, in the far northern reaches of the kingdom of Callegea. The land is inhabited by two races: Huma (humans) and Gajuma (a people with animal-like features.) For a long time they lived together in peace. When Claire was young, her parents took in a boy named Veigue, who had lost his family. She became very close with him, though his quiet, awkward nature was the opposite of her friendly and outgoing one. They grew up together, never quite wondering or worrying about the outside world, until one fateful day.

King Ladras, the Gajuma ruler of the nation, had fallen ill. On the day known as the Setting Sun of Ladras, he passed away, and his innate power known as Force went berserk. Only Gajuma were born with the ability, but on that day, reports all over the countryside sprang up of Huma uncovering their ability to use Force. Many of them went insane, causing a large outbreak of death and chaos across the kingdom.

Veigue was one of them. Unable to control his new power, he lashed out and accidentally froze Claire in a pillar of ice. Every day after that he would visit her, trying in vain to find a way to free her. One year later, as he keeps his vigil by her, two mysterious figures arrive. A Gajuma and a young Huma boy, they introduce themselves as Eugene Gallardo and Mao, and ask for Veigue's help. He refuses, and gets into a fight with the boy, but loses. The pair then tell him they have a way to free Claire, and Mao uses his fire Force to melt the unnatural ice while Veigue breaks her out.

It seems like all is well again, until a group of soldiers arrive at the village, demanding that they bring out their "most beautiful Huma girl." Met with resistance, they begin threatening the villagers, and Claire steps forward. She promises to go with them peacefully as long as they don't harm anyone. Veigue, enraged, attacks their leader and is soundly defeated.

During the long journey to the capital, Claire does her best to comfort the other kidnapped girls, saying her friend will surely rescue them. However, Veigue and his new companions are always one step behind them. Claire manages to leave messages for them with the people she meets along the way--a doctor who treated an injury she'd gotten, several girls that managed to escape in various ways. Still, she arrives at the capital without even catching a glimpse of her childhood friend.

In the castle, the girls are taken to various rooms and left there until the queen calls for them. When Claire's turn arrives, she doesn't know what to expect, but follows the soldiers quietly. Face to face with the nation's ruler, Claire seems to realize that this young Gajuma woman is not much older than herself, with the responsibilities of her late father thrust upon her. Queen Agarte praises her beauty and physical appearance, which confuses her. She speaks up, saying that she doesn't believe appearance is more important than other things. She tells the story of how her parents met--lost together in a dark cave. Unable to see each other, they fell in love nonetheless, and even though what they saw when they escaped was not what they had imagined, they stayed together.

Agarte then asks her if her story would be the same if the two were a Huma and a Gajuma, instead of two Huma, and Claire replies without hesitating that it would be. This answer seems to upset the queen, and she accuses the girl of lying, saying that all Huma must think Gajuma are ugly. For some unknown reason, perhaps the queen's Force acting up, Agarte's tirade makes Claire pass out suddenly, just as Veigue and the others run in to her rescue. They are defeated and thrown into prison, but manage to escape and make their way back to the castle.

They arrive just as a strange ceremony begins, and Queen Agarte uses her Force to summon a massive dragon, the Sacred Beast King Geyorkias. It claims to have come to bring peace to the world—-at the price of destroying every Huma. The queen and Claire are merged with the creature, and Veigue and the others fight it in order to free her, finally defeating it after a grueling battle. Claire is unconscious, the Queen nowhere to be found. Veigue takes his childhood friend back to Sulz, but little does he know...

The girl he carries home with him is actually Agarte, possessing Claire's body. Claire herself, in the guise of the queen, ends up on a far shoreline near the village of Razilda, and is picked up by a kind man named Igol. Thus begins her journey to reunite with Veigue, and tell him the truth.

Personality: Claire is a kind, hardworking girl, and though she's a bit sheltered from growing up in a remote village, her relentless belief in the people she cares for doesn't make her weak in the least. She's honest and straightforward, and won't hesitate to comfort anyone in need. She keeps up with taciturn or moody, difficult people like Veigue with gentle patience. Though she doesn't have the physical prowess of her childhood friend, she'll do anything to protect people, just as when she puts her own safety on the line to stop the Queen's soldiers from harassing the villagers. This isn't just because of her strong sense of right and wrong, but also her belief that Veigue will set things right and rescue her in the end.

That said, it does make her seem a bit dependent on him, and for a while it's probably true. However, taking her situation into account--surrounded by hostile soldiers and with a bunch of terrified girls to calm and look after--it's not surprising why she wouldn't try to fight back with force. She considers other people's needs above her own. Once on her own in Agarte's body, she sets out fearlessly across unknown terrain to reunite with Veigue. This determination is a bit foolish, considering that she doesn't seem to think such things through, but it is an integral part of what makes up the girl named "Claire".

A large theme of the story of Rebirth is the differences between people--inside and outside. Claire is not exempt from the soul-searching each main party member must do eventually--quite the opposite, in fact. Losing her own body and gaining a Gajuma's, she says once that the experience made her see herself more clearly. She knows who she is on the inside, even if her appearance changes. However, Veigue struggles with the idea, repeatedly swearing to her that he'll get her original body back. She appreciates his devotion, but it clearly makes her a little uncomfortable, and she begins to wonder if it means that he can't accept her for who she is. She eventually comes to the conclusion that her presence troubles him, and leaves.

This brings things full-circle: sometimes extreme selflessness can be a flaw. After Veigue loses control of his Force thanks to his conflicting emotions, Claire decides to leave because she thinks her presence is causing him pain. Claire is far from perfect--she can be too idealistic at times. Though she's being taken from a point where she won't have adjusted to her new body yet, the development will most likely be the same. It doesn't affect her so much as she's hyper-aware of the effect on others. Her world is full of racism and clashes between factions, and while she believes wholeheartedly that everyone is equal, she's aware that there are plenty of people that don't see it that way.

When she speaks, she speaks from the heart. She usually isn't afraid to let people know her true feelings, and will stand up for anyone being bullied if she can. She knows how to appeal to people with simple things, as she does in her pre-execution speech, making a statement that's impossible to ignore: everyone, no matter what they look like, enjoys eating together with the people they love. What then makes people different?

Abilities: None, really--Force is a power tied to the mind and not the body, so she can't use Agarte's Moon Force. Other than that, though, in a Gajuma body she is stronger and has more stamina than she had as a Huma, as well as having better senses of hearing and smell. (and presumably nightvision.)

Sample:

[The mirror shows what should be a familiar sight by now--a young woman in a white arrival's dress. Except...this one has the wide slit-pupiled eyes and animate ears of...a cat. The gaze she examines the mirror with is intelligent and curious, and she sits back after a moment. Her face sets with determination, the voice issuing from her clear and firm.]

Your Majesty. I'm not sure I understand what's going on, but...if I am the one you truly need, please let these other girls go. They've done you no harm, and their families miss them dearly.

And as far as I understand-- [she looks down for a moment, showing the briefest sign of hesitation.] You've...obtained what you wanted, right? There's no need to continue this any further. And my friends...Veigue...I don't want anyone to come to any more harm.

If you can hear me, please stop this. You're the one with the power to do so.

[her expression isn't pleading; it's almost sad. The mirror seems to take this as a cue to go dark.]
