[Background] ((Note: Claudia is a very minor character in ACII so a lot of this is head canon))
She was born in Florence, 1461 to the Italian Nobles Giovanni and Maria Auditore. She is the second youngest and only daughter in the family, which means that she was spoiled greatly by her father in her youth. As a child, while her oldest brothers were out wreaking havoc on the poor city of Florence, Claudia preferred to sit inside studying and reading to her younger brother. It was when she got older that she started to crave the sort of adventures that her brothers always had. Her father seemed too protective of his only daughter to allow her the chance to free run and train with her brothers.
Being that she was on a rebellious streak at the time she would disobey her father, sneaking out while he was working so she could have some adventures of her own. One of these encounters opted her to meet her first boyfriend-the relationship was short lived because he could not handle her constant mood swings and dangerous jealous. So began the string of picky suitors, all whose excuses were that she was not feminine enough, that she was too bossy or just that she frightened them. The only one of her suitors who showed some promise was another Nobleman, Duccio. Claudia admitted to loving him, but after she found out that he was cheating on her, she had Ezio go and teach him a lesson, thus another boyfriend lost.
Sometime after this event, things started to fall apart for her and her family. While Ezio was away, Giovanni, Federico, and Petruccio were all taken captive by the city guard. The only reason Claudia was not taken was because her mother forced her into a hiding place, but risked her own safety for not cooperating with the guards. With the help of Paola, the Brothel Mistress and sister of the family maid, the three remaining members of the Auditore clan escaped Florence to their Uncle Mario’s villa in Monteriggioni. The three would live in this city for the next 23 years, her mother in silence the entire time due to mourning and Claudia set to work as Treasurer for her Uncle.
After the primary complaining of being set to work by her ‘slave driver’ uncle, Claudia found peace in her work. She enjoyed it and thought that if she could help the family in anyway she could then it was her duty to do so. Even then she couldn’t help but be jealous of her brother for running off and having grand adventures. Her jealous was what drive her into forcing her uncle how to teach her to fight. Her jealous however turned to a sense of duty and protection, since Ezio was never around someone needed to be strong enough to protect her mother and the city as well.
After 23 years her brother’s journey had finally come to an end, atleast that is what she thought. On her day of her birthday the villa was attacked by Cesare Borgia. The sudden attack forced her and the townspeople to flee. Her brother ordered for her and their mother to seek safety in Florence, but not wanting to be left behind again they both joined him in Rome. There she took control over a brothel and is now helping her brother to find Caterina Sforza with the help of her new courtesans.
[Personality]
In some ways her personality can be rather overbearing to people who don’t really know her well. She gets jealous easily, when she was a teen she was greatly known for her act of violence against other girls, who even so much as looked at her boyfriend at the time. Needless to say she wasn't the most popular girl on the block, and because of that her father had to raise her dowry to 1000 florins to try and find her a husband. Her father spoiled her greatly and because of that she isn't use to real work. When her uncle had her in change of the treasurer she was at first very much against it, and voiced her dislike to anyone who would hear it.
When it comes to business she is very serious and somewhat of a perfectionist and a workaholic. For 23 years she was in control of Monteriggioni's finances, barely ever leaving her work unattended. The city flourished thanks to her brother's income and her book keeping. Just recently she has come into the ownership of a brothel in Rome, after the previous owner was murdered. Under her management the once run down brothel has became the most popular in all of Rome, as well as a far more effective intel-gathering arm for the Order of Assassins.
Of course though, most people only see the negative out looks on her personality, her true character really shines around her family. Family is the most important thing to her, when she lost half of her family to the templars she was devastated. She tried to stay as strong as she could for her then emotional traumatized mother. It was her family and the will she had to help and protect them that drove her to have her uncle teach her how to fight. She is very protective of her family. She will do whatever it takes to defend them, even if it means putting herself in harms way.
[Abilities] Her uncle, a skilled assassin, taught her how to fight. She trained with his mercenaries almost every day and because of this she was quite skilled with a blade. She is also very agile, able to free run across rooftop and leap from tall buildings into haystacks or other random piles of soft objects.
She also has the bloodline ability of Eagle Vision. The user is able to instinctively sense how people and objects relate to him, which manifests as a colored glowing, much like an aura would in a persons "mind's eye".
[Other important stuff]…Can’t think of anything…
[Sample post]
[First Person]
Qual è la stregoneria...? (What is this witchcraft...?)
[The voice of a young lady echo through the dreamberry onto the network. Soon enough the sounds of tapping can be heared and the video suddenly clips on. One can not see much though, besides a large eye staring into the camera lense.]
Is it a music maker? [The tapping continues for a few moments, the small beeping of the buttons sound as graceful as a beached whale. The woman huffes and finally the camera pans out to reveal most of her face and figure.]
...Non capisco. (I don’t get it.) [And with that the dreamberry is throw somewhere beside her.]
[Third Person]
Claudia sat on one of the plush couches of her brothel. She was sitting with her back slouched, her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands; not very lady like at all. Her hazel eyes stared intensely over to the front door, as if she were waiting for something or someone to walk through them. After a few moments she finally blinked, sighed and stood up, brushing the wrinkles out of her skirt as she did.
A look of disappointment spread across her face for a moment. Seeing as they were in Roma now and she was actually doing something active to help her brother, she had hoped that he would be stopping by more often to see her and their mother. It seemed though that Ezio had other plans.
“Che idiota, (that idiot)” she scuffed before she scowled and started to march up the stairs. She should have known that this wasn’t going to change anything. He would show up everyone once and awhile, collect his cut of the money and whatever information they had gather and would be off on his way again. Just like the last time. She wished that she could do something, anything to make it so they could truly be a family again.
Half way up the staircase, she paused. Staring out into space for a few moments before she turned around, looking to the door with a thoughtful look on her face. If he wouldn’t come home, then maybe she would just have to and get him.
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Cause bro and gpa are here But no really this place looks cool, the whole dream thing sealed the deal for me ;D
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] I like the fact that cross over canons are allow, just because it is so rare.
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] Dear_mun
[Any questions?] Nope!
