Clair

“I am Clair. The young man may address me as 'Lady Clair', or 'milady'.”
—Clair in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Clair (クレア Kurea, Clea in the Japanese version) is a playable character from Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. She is 18 years old in Echoes.

Profile

Clair is a Pegasus Knight of Zofia, and the younger sister of Clive, who was captured by Desaix's men. She was found by Alm after he and his army stormed an enemy fortress. After the war, Tobin and Gray fight over her, although she eventually marries Gray.

Personality

A headstrong and fearless young noblewoman, Clair has an overbearing nature, which is her one big flaw, not that she pays it any mind. She is also a cheery and sociable individual who loves to interact with any and everyone. She values her impression on others and speaks in an extremely formal and often eccentric manner.

Though she’s close with her elder brother Clive and childhood friends with fellow knight Fernand, Clair doesn’t have much of an opportunity to interact with the more common people of Zofia. As a result, she rather desperately wants to know more about other aspects of common daily life.

She is shown to have a small crush on Alm in Gaiden, joking that Alm was the one she really wanted when Gray won her over. However, in Echoes, Clair and Alm's relationship is generally portrayed as platonic on both ends, as she backs off once she witnesses how close Alm and Celica are. The two become very close friends as the game progresses.

Overall

Clair is a classic case of a character that starts out weak, but after a few levels they wind up holding their own and eventually wind up being great units. This is commonly the case with Pegasus Knights, and Clair is no exception. She starts off doing low damage and you will need to feed her experience for a few levels before she comes up to task. Though she will inevitably end up with very low Defense, so it might be a good idea to give her a Javelin.

In Alm's route, she can be very useful since she is the only Pegasus Knight that Alm can recruit, and thus the only unit that can fly over walls to get to ranged units or Cantors.

When considering all of the Pegasus Knights in Gaiden, Clair is very agile but fragile. Catria and Est are both strong all rounders whose balance between Speed and Strength usually makes them the most offensively potent, and Palla is strong and durable but slow for a Pegasus Knight.

Overall

Clair is a pegasus knight that joins Alm after he frees her from the dungeon after capturing the Southern Outpost. She joins at level 1 with low base stats for the point in the game she is recruited, but she is the only natural flier that Alm will acquire unless he make Faye or a reclassed female unit into a pegasus knight. While her combat isn't impressive upon her first recruitment, her high speed growth will quickly allow her to double attack most of the enemies present in Alm's route, especially since she is fast enough to double attack most enemies using the Ridersbane acquired after capturing Zofia Castle. Upon her eventual promotion to Falcon Knight, she will also deal effective damage against terrors, though in Alms route terrors are only present scarcely throughout the game.

Despite her uses, Clair is not flawless. Her starting durability is quite mediocre, especially on hard mode when she faces effective damage from bow using enemies throughout the game. Her attack is also very low thanks to her class, and without effective weaponry she has difficulty notably damaging enemies. It also takes her quite some time to promote into falco knight, as she needs to level up 11 times due to the high level of her promotion.
