Audrey (Claymore)

Claymore swords are large and double-edged. The length of a Claymore is several inches shorter than its wielder (the tip of the blade reaches the top of the warrior's boots when strapped to her back). Each Claymore is engraved with its owner's symbol on the blade's forte. These details imply that the Organization custom-makes each Claymore based on its wielder's physical attributes.

Claymores are sharp and durable, seemingly never breaking or dulling. According to Miria, the material used to make Claymores is not found anywhere on the island, nor does the Organization have facilities capable of manufacturing such a weapon.

Claymores are given ranks in correspondence to their overall power: Claymore No. 1 is the strongest, while No. 47 is the weakest (and receives a corresponding lack of respect). The number of official Claymores at any time is 47, the number of districts their island home is divided into.

Audrey has long, straight hair.She also has highly feminine features, such as long eyelashes, a slender face, and upturned lips. Overall, she could be considered as quite beautiful when compared to the rest of the Claymore of her generation. As per the rest of the Claymore standard, Audrey's hair and eyes are both fair and silver, and she wears the typical Claymore uniform.

Awakened Beings are former Claymores who went over their 80% limit and Awakened. Their forms vary greatly and, similar to Yoma, have a desire to eat humans. Even so, they are much stronger than Yoma, who are often reduced to working for Awakened Beings as expendable drones.

10% release: Eyes change from silver to gold. 30% release: Facial distortion. 50% release: The whole body distorts. 80% release: Theoretical limit, reversion to human form difficult, if not impossible. 100% release: Full Awakening.

Claymores use certain amounts of Yoki to increase their physical attributes (ie strength, mobility and healing) or to craft and utilize special techniques. However, the drawback to Yoki usage is that it places great strain on a Claymore's mind and spirit, eventually overpowering the human will and causing the victim to Awaken.

Gentle Sword is Audrey's signature technique. She uses her sword to redirect her opponent's attack using minimal strength to create a defense which counteracts her opponent's attacks.

Audrey is a very well-mannered and proud warrior, making her the exact opposite of her partner and friend, Rachel. She also has a strong sense of honor, as evident when Miria's attack on the Organization succeeds in appealing to Audrey's chivalrous nature. Strongly loyal and polite, Audrey is not above teasing though and often will have a playful smile as she mocks opponents or teammates alike. Being a defensive type, she greatly fears death.

Yoma are beings that feed on human flesh and blood. They can shape-shift into human form that allows them to live among humans. The Organization creates them by rounding up orphan boys and sending them to the North while the girls are sent to the East to become Claymores.

Claymores' eyes are the most prominent trait that sets them apart from regular humans. The irises are typically silver in color (Claymores are sometimes called "silver-eyed witches") and maintain the normal round pupils of human eyes. When at least 10% of a Claymore's yoki is released, the color shifts to gold and the pupils take on the vertical-slit shape characteristic of Yoma.

When a Claymore is considered ready by the Organization, she is given a rank and symbol. Each Claymore's symbol is unique and serves as an identification marker. It appears in white on their uniform at the base of the throat.

Claymores wear a very simple uniform consisting of a plain long sleeved shirt and pants. It consists of a white (iron gray during the male period) garments, with a mock-neck dickie marked with the Claymore's symbol near the base of the throat. Over top of this, several pieces of plate armor are worn: shin-high, slightly heeled metal boots (sabatons), large wrist-guards (vambraces), shoulder pieces (pauldrons) and a partial skirt (fauld).

Defensive: While not as physically strong as offensive fighters, defensive types possess remarkable self-healing abilities, and can regrow limbs of equal strength to the originals. Offensive: Offensive types are capable of more powerful attacks than defensive types, but at the cost of significantly reduced regenerative ability.

There are two main combat types: "defensive" and "offensive." These are qualities inherent to an individual Claymore, not techniques that can be learned. The determination of combat style comes from one's approach to confrontation, either by "protecting oneself in order to survive," or by "killing or defeating the opponent in order to survive."
