Personality

Clarice is a clever young woman with a good eye for determining the best exit strategies in any contingency. She's disciplined, biddable, and loyal to the Heimdall to the point that she does not question her orders. She puts all her intelligence toward performing at her peak - work smart, not hard, is her motto. She likes to find the simplest, most effective way to complete her objectives and prioritizes protecting civilians. Especially humanoid civilians. Clarice makes no effort to hide her xenophobia. She distrusts aliens and is likely to start fights when she's forced to interact with them.

 Clarice has a maternal streak a mile long and will do anything to keep children safe. She's good with kids and has a reputation around Mwari station for always having trinkets and treats on her to give away. At least, for the human kids. She doesn't visit the station often, preferring human-centric space stations and colonies.

Loyal to her cause, her family, and her friends, Clarice would do anything in her power to keep those she cares about safe and protected. She's a real mama bear when her loved ones are endangered. Surprisingly, on the field, she tends to be the first person to suggest retreat and regrouping when faced with unexpected trouble. She doesn't panic when she's backed into a corner, but her instinct is "flight" rather than fight. Clarice is content where she is in the Heimdall's ranks and has no illusions that she'll ever become a commissioned officer. She's a diligent follower and is happiest when obeying someone else's orders. The weight of command is entirely unappealing.

History

Clarice was born on a small science vessel. Her family and their co-workers made a living collecting biological samples off of space rocks and finding genetic markers to survive the vacuum of space. Their station was small with a population of ~200, and, like a village, everyone knew everyone else and was always up in one another's business.

Clarice was one of few children on the station and was ecstatic when her sister, Cybele, was born. Eager for a playmate of her own age. She was utterly devoted to her sister and the two grew up to be inseparable.

Age 14, Clarice's home was attacked by hostile aliens. Most of the station's crew were killed in the initial impact. Children were herded into the few escape shuttles onboard. Clarice and Cybele clung to each other, terrified. At least they were together. They never saw their parents or their childhood home ever again.

The escape shuttle was picked up by one of the Heimdall's ships and delivered to Mwari Station. The children were turned over to foster care, awaiting messages from their families.

Eventually a few survivors from the science vessel arrived, but Clarice and Cybele's parents weren't among them. The girls were informed their parents had died in the attack. They were taken under the wing of one of the station's geologists and raised alongside several of the other orphaned children.

Clarice never forgot that it was the Heimdall that initially saved them. When she turned 18, she enlisted in the Heimdall's spacefleet. Cybele followed shortly after.
