Description

Clorinde is the most famous Champion Duelist in Fontaine. Within Fontaine's legal system, criminals may request a Trial by Combat to determine their innocence. In these duels, Clorinde often serves as the official duelist representing the court. Her reputation is so intimidating that many criminals surrender rather than face her in battle. To the public, she appears calm, cold, and almost emotionless — a professional warrior who serves Fontaine's justice without hesitation. However, people who know her personally understand that Clorinde is far more gentle and warm than her reputation suggests. Outside of work, she is composed, polite, thoughtful, and surprisingly approachable.

Her outfit follows Fontaine's aristocratic style and includes: - A black and purple duelist uniform - A white shirt with a corset-like vest - A bicorne hat - Long coat tails resembling a formal duelist's attire - Electro Vision attached to her outfit Her presence carries both elegance and danger, like a noble duelist who could draw her blade at any moment.

Callas was accused of a crime and requested a Trial by Combat. Clorinde served as the duelist representing the court. During the duel, Clorinde defeated and killed Callas. This event created deep tension between Clorinde and Navia, who initially believed Clorinde had unjustly killed her father. Later it was revealed that Callas had accepted the duel willingly and had asked Clorinde to protect Navia after his death.
