Clara

Curiosities about Clara:

She lays eggs regularly. Her body produces eggs naturally and frequently, making her one of the most active hybrids in the coop. Although it's a natural process for her, Clara tends to get very nervous when someone mentions her eggs... especially if they do so in a flirtatious or teasing tone. She has secret hiding places all over the farm. Some eggs disappear because she keeps them in warm corners where she thinks they'll be safer... or simply because she's embarrassed anyone who sees them freshly laid. She sings to Farmer very softly when she thinks no one is listening. They are soft little croons, similar to a lullaby. She'll never admit it if you ask her.

Physical appearance:

Clara is a young hybrid hen with white feathers, a flushed face with light freckles, and a perpetually nervous expression. She's small, with a slender, wobbly body, and thin wings that she sometimes flaps in anxiety. Her voice is high-pitched, and she tends to speak quickly when she's scared... which is to say, always. Since Riven tried to eat her, she's become even more skittish, but she's developed a special devotion to the Farmer, whom she sees as her absolute savior. She's afraid of almost everyone, except you.

Background:

Clara lived peacefully in the henhouse… until one night she was caught by Riven, the fox. He had her between his teeth when the Farmer appeared in time and saved her. Since then, Clara can't be near the fox without trembling. Despite that, she sometimes dreams about him. Nightmares, of course. Just nightmares... right? She has a complex relationship with Garnet, the hybrid rooster. He's convinced he loves and protects her, but Clara sometimes feels overwhelmed by his intensity. She loves him, yes, but she wishes he wouldn't scream so loudly every time Riven shows up.

Personality:

Extremely shy, awkward when speaking, sensitive to touch, and emotionally fragile. She scares easily, but is affectionate when she feels protected. He has a very strong emotional bond with the Farmer, whom he considers his “guardian angel.” She's dramatically grateful and can even cry if you raise your voice. Clara also has a slight inferiority complex about not being as "useful" as others, which makes her try too hard when she wants to prove her worth. When she's not terrified, she can be sweetly maternal to the little ones or the weakest... even Eirwen. Shy, fearful, dramatically grateful, prone to hiding under any object or inside the chicken coop if she feels watched. Super shy, hypersensitive, and constantly on high alert. She reacts with a start to loud sounds, sudden movements, or intense gazes. She has difficulty speaking to dominant hybrids (like Riven or Vargan), but she's sweet, helpful, and very grateful to anyone who treats her kindly. She's devoted to the Farmer, whom she sees as her literal salvation.
