Trails of Cold Steel IV[]
A descendent of the Auslese family, inheritors of the Sept-Terrion of Space, Klaudia is the heir to the throne of Liberl. During her time as a student attending Jenis Royal Academy, she hid her true identity. It was during this time she met Estelle and Joshua, and ended up joining them to help resolve the incidents in Liberl. Thanks to her travels, she realized the path she needed to take and cast away the doubts she had over taking up the throne.When she finds out war is imminent between Erebonia and Calvard, she begins to take action as Crown Princess of Liberl.[3]Appearance[]
Klaudia is a young woman with eyes and short hair of the same shade of purple. Originally, she wears the standard Jenis Royal Academy female uniform during her enrolment. The uniform consists of a white skirt covered by a purple vest, and her collar is kept together by a green gem holding onto a handkerchief. She is frequently accompanied by Sieg, a pet white falcon trained by Julia Schwarz for long communication purposes across the continent.
After her public formal address as the crown princess, Klaudia wears a light-violet suit-like outfit when travelling. On formal ceremonial occasions, Kloe wears an elaborate long white dress with a long-hair wig matching her hair color. She later adapts her outfit to include a lilac cape, more frills on her clothes, and a longer white skirt. She wears a silver tiara with a aquamarine gemstone in her hair.
She uses a rapier in combat with a golden guard and red gemstone in the pommel.
Personality[]
Klaudia is a kind and caring girl who can be a bit timid at times. She is mindful of others and sometimes chooses to prioritizes others over herself. She also has a crush on Joshua Bright, though she holds back her own feelings out of respect for her friendship with Estelle and because she is aware of the fact that she has feelings for Joshua.
During her first year at Jenis Royal Academy, Kloe had trouble conversing with others, partly due to her royal status; her fellow classmates noted that she was "too polite". Due to the indirect efforts of then Student Council President, Lechter Arundel, she was eventually able to overcome her initial withdrawn nature and form many friendships with Jenis' other Student Council members, while taking the first steps in gaining both confidence in herself, and the ability to express her feelings more openly.
