Image Description

Clara is a Katalonan, a human possessing shamanic ability. As a long-standing family tradition, she was sent to a foreign land on her 13th birthday to train her abilities. It was also in this stage where she must pick a medium to focus her powers.

Upon arriving on the foreign land, a village full of musicians welcomed Clara. The musicians influenced her to pursue the use of musical instruments to utilize her powers. Clara eventually chose the Kulintang as a medium where she learned to commune with spirits through the use of sound. She also gained the ability to heal others through beats and pulses.

After her training, an organization known as Yanig recruited Clara. They have been recruiting warriors and musicians for decades, to prepare them for the arrival of the mother Bakunawa.
