Biography

Origins

Claire was the only child resulting of the union of krytan diplomat Lord Lloyd Adrien Virnav and Zephyrite Harmonizer Serena. Prior to her birth, her parents traveled Tyria aiding in several conflicts as advisors to politicians and leaders and helped negotiate ceasefires and trade deals. They also were involved in aiding bridge relations with the Sylvari when the firstborn were new to the world by buying acres of land to gift to them in good faith and extending some protections to the newest inhabitants of Tyria. Little is known of Serena's work with the Zephyrite Order as a Harmonizer following the crash of the Zephyr Sanctum in Dry Top.

Early Years

Following their escape from a war conflict that unfolded overnight during their travels, Lloyd and Serena, who was expecting at the time, were forced to escape from Elona by sea. This led to the ship being caught in a terrible storm and in the midst of this chaos Claire was born. Tragically, Serena did not survive their voyage and once they reached Kryta Lloyd would leave his newborn daughter under the care of his firstborn, Claire's older brother Derek.

Derek dutifully takes it upon himself to raise his half-sister. Setting aside any differences and disagreements with his father from years prior as he wishes to honor Serena's memory and see to it that her daughter grows up well. Meanwhile, overcome with grief Lloyd pours himself into his work determined to leave the world a better place for his offspring. This leads to them seeing very little of him for the first few years of his daughter's life. His absence even led to some cruel rumors Claire was really the product of a fling between Derek and Serena that served as an explanation as to why he had nearly abandoned his children.

Claire grows up sheltered and spoiled during her early childhood. Despite there being nothing physically wrong with her, she is mute and relies on sign language to communicate. This does little to stop her development as she takes up music from the early age of four. However, while determined, she is not a particularly gifted child and the limitations of mutism cause her to have a meek, yet sometimes mean demeanor.

In an effort to do good by his little sister Derek becomes more involved in Lloyd's life work and this leads to a very successful alliance between the two, although it all remains strictly professional, though for a couple of years this ensures their father being more present in their lives and the three start traveling together. This is ends up being brief when a politically motivated attack causes Claire at the age of five to be kidnapped and held hostage by bandits. She is promptly rescued and returned to her family.

Following her rescue, Claire's father suggests rather than staying with them she would be safer travelling with her mother's people, the Zephyrites. Struggling with self-confidence following her kidnapping and rescue, Claire feels guilty her helplessness in the situation put her family through such grief and agrees to leave the care of Derek and their father and travel with the Zephyrites at the age of six. At least if she was abroad and safe it would not be a burden on either her father or older brother.
