Kara

Kara is the leading protagonist of Pokémon: Claire, Mistress of Magick. She is the 14 year-old Crown Princess of the Obakeneko Kingdom, and after being sent to Earth to prevent danger, she is given the Earth name Claire Perkins (クレア・パーキンス Kurea Pākinsu ) by the Perkins family, who found her in the Slumbering Weald and adopted her soon thereafter. She transforms into the Legendary Magical Warrior of Hope, Magic, Death and Rebirth, Magician Esmeralda (マジシャンエスメラルダ Majishan Esumeraruda ). Also, she is one of the current Incarnations of the Great One, with the other being Allister.

As a Magick Stardom idol, she is a Cool-type Idol whose preferred Label is Spectre Princess.

Appearance
Kara is a teenage girl who has medium-length chestnut-brown hair that is styled into a choppy chin-length bob, ruby-colored eyes, peach skin, and black cat ears that are the trait of most Majuunekos. She wears a forest green-colored turtleneck jumper with a smaller and darker green heart shape on the chest, a beige miniskirt, a pair of knee-length white socks with golden top rims, and black Mary Janes. She also wears the Valentine Medalion around her neck, as a memorabilia for her relationship with her deceased boyfriend, Damien.

As Magician Esmeralda, her hair grows longer and is tied into two pigtails curled at the end, and she wears a white shirt with white-and-fern green puffed sleeves, covered by a sleeveless forest green jacket with pockets and golden buttons on it. Underneath the jacket, she wears a green belt with a golden buckle. She also wears a emerald green skirt with white bottom frill, a single white sock that almost reach her thigh, and a pair of star-patterned neon green boots with white top rims that is decorated by a single forest green ribbon on the sides that face outwards. Also, she wears a single elbow-length shamrock green glove, and a small black witch hat with a mint green band and bow. On her chest there is a jade green ribbon with a white badge with the Mistresses of Magick's insignia, the Delphic Glyph, in the center.

Personality
Being in a royal family and has been the centre of attention in her kingdom since her childhood, Kara is a rather spoiled girl with an arrogant personality. According to Jane, Cara exhibits the same narcissistic view on her body image as her, albeit she still mind the uniqueness of the body image of every person.

She also is a mysterious, cool and taciturn girl who appears to be hard to befriend by others. In fact, as according to Allister in one episode, he states that she does that in order to keep her identity as one of the current Incarnations of the Great One as a secret, and to make the existence of the Incarnations becomes a legend, similar to him and the previous Incarnations. She also displays traits of an archetypical tsundere, being aloof at the beginning but then reveals a bashful personality and romantic feelings for someone, especially when near people she likes (e.g. Ryo Hika, Weisslune (when assuming the form of Damien, her deceased boyfriend)).

She also acts politely towards others, which is a trait that she inherited from the other members of the Obakeneko royalty. She often uses "watakushi" (わたくし) and "watashi" (私) when referring to herself (albeit she uses "jibun" (自分) when talking to her friends), and "anata" (あなた) when referring to others (albeit she uses "omae" (お前) when referring to her friends and more commonly her enemies). She also acts as a foil for both Jane and Leila, reduces Jane's keenness to boast about her sexual attractiveness, and preventing Leila to get into a fight or argument with her friends.

She is also the only character with the ability to handle ionizing radiation without being harmed by them.
 * Chlorokinesis: She possesses the ability to manipulate plants, allowing her to create and shape plants (wood, vines, plants, moss, and (for practical reasons) fungus), and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. She can cause plants grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging their DNA scructure, and revive withered or dead plants. She gains this ability when she transforms into Magician Esmeralda.

This is not only just unique to her, this even the ability that anyone else get when they are exposed to a Pentagram Stone.

Relationships

 * Jane: Her playmate since childhood, and her personal entertainer. Contradict to popular belief, they are a perfect match, as well as a foil to each other, for adding comic reliefs in the series. As stated above, Kara helps Jane to be less arrogant, preventing her exaggerating her sexual attractiveness. While that, Jane helps Kara to be more outgoing and witty, and sometimes cheer her up in distressful situations. The most common comic relief elements revolving around Kara and Jane are: putting whoopee cushions on each other's chairs, giving gag names to each other, pieing, and performing knock-knock jokes towards each other.
 * Astrid Bennett: Despite she is not a friend of Kara since childhood, Astrid Bennett, the daughter of the previous Incarnation of the Great One, Aleister Bennett, had learned the existence of the Incarnations of the Great One after witnessing her father's death, and that she learned that her dead father has reincarnated into two separate beings, one of them is Allister, and the other one is still unknown at the time. At first, she worked for Allister, who told her about what the other Incarnation looks like, and when will they come. After she abandon her experiment of the "Purple Liquid" after she saw its negative effects on Hanako Reisou, she decided to wait in a makeshift hut located in Wedgehurst until the other Incarnation comes, hoping that they will save Hanako from the effects of her experiments.


 * Leila: Her older half-sister, personal bodyguard and playmate since childhood. Leila is steadfast and passionate in her actions and always be there to protect Kara. Her bravery and determination make Kara admire her heroic actions, but her aggressive behavior has led to Kara given her the derogatory nickname "BGcchi" (stands for "Belligerent Gal-cchi"). Like Jane, she and Kara act like a foil to each other. Similar to how Kara and Jane act as a foil to each other, Kara helps Leila to be less aggressive and delinquent, making her has more tolerance to the conditions and rules in the Dream Stars Academy, while that Leila helps Kara to be more determined when she has to make decisions in battle, and giving her advices for battle strategies when they're facing difficult and/or dangerous enemies.


 * Ryuuko Honetate: Her rival in the Magick Celebdom.
