"Keep laughing, it's going to make it more amusing for me when I bring you in."

— Clara Molariou

Clara Molariou (8 BBY) is the niece of famous assassin Habas Molariou, but she doesn't possess the same unwavering accuracy with a blaster that her relative was known for. Instead, when it comes to blasters, she has become better known for the speed in which she can draw her weapon, often giving her an edge in tight spots. Clara's true skills are in hand-to-hand combat, which are considerable, especially when they make use of her incredible speed.

Never a fan of the Empire, Clara joined on with the New Republic through a military academy and was eventually accepted into the 3rd Regiment of the New Republic Special Forces, which specialized in urban combat. She attained considerable accolades but grew tired of taking orders from someone else and decided to take up bounty hunting. Like her uncle, Clara has a strict policy when it comes to taking jobs, and generally tends to only hunt down dangerous criminals or corrupt officials.

One of Clara’s most noticeable quirks is that she tends to call almost everybody she meets by some sort of nickname, whether they like it or not. Friend and foe alike are given equal treatment in this respect. It’s not really clear where she picked it up, or why she does it, but she usually settles on a nickname for somebody shortly after meeting them.

Skills

"Anytime I hear somebody insulting somebody else for hitting like a girl, I just smile. Then I hit them."

— Clara Molariou

Fighting Styles

• Teräs Käsi

Teräs Käsi was one of the primary styles taught at the military academy Clara attended. It was one of the first styles she learned and is generally the martial art she utilizes most. She is extremely proficient in it and usually practices the moves daily to stay sharp.

• Echani

Clara uses Echani nearly as much as Teräs Käsi, seeing it as a way to cover the weaknesses of the other martial arts style and vice/versa. She has reached the third and final tier of Echani proficiency. Like Teräs Käsi, she practices in Echani daily.

• K'tara

Clara was taught K'tara after joining the New Republic Special Forces so she could know how to dispatch an enemy quickly and quietly. Although not as skilled in this style as Teräs Käsi or Echani, Clara has retained numerous moves from it in case she ever needs to silence someone without making any noise.

Weapons

• DL-44 Heavy Blaster

The BlasTech DL-44 is Clara's weapon of choice since it is compact and can do a lot of damage. She is fairly accurate with the weapon and it is never far from her person. Thanks to her military training, she is also skilled in the operation of all manner of other weapons, but rarely uses them unless there's a need her DL-44 can't fulfill on its own.

History

Early Life

Clara Molariou was born in 8 BBY to Rajir and Lena Molariou as the youngest of three siblings. Her two older brothers, who either tended to pick on her for being a girl, or leave her out of their activities for the same reason, forced Clara early on to become assertive and stand up for herself or miss out. By the time she was five, she was proving that she could be competitive with the boys who were one year, and two years, older than her. By the time she was eight, Clara was beating her brothers in most pursuits, including some of the rougher sports.

If anything, Clara appeared to be just a little too eager to take on those who were bigger or stronger than her. More so than any other member of the family, Clara was the likely one to come home bruised or bloodied, and sometimes even end up in the hospital with a broken limb. Often times it was through the sports she played and how forceful she played them, but it also wasn’t unusual for Clara to take it upon herself to challenge a local bully. Remarkably enough, the outcome of these encounters tended to see the bully in worse shape than Clara, even if they were bigger, stronger, and a good deal older than her.

As an unintended consequence to Clara’s lifestyle, all of her friends tended to be boys, since she couldn’t relate too much to what other girls her age were doing. For the most part, this didn’t bother her, but there were times when her softer, gentler side would shine through and she found herself missing having a friend who could share these experiences with her without it being awkward.

Habas

It was while Clara was eight that two events came to pass that would help shape her future career. The first and most notable was the famous Battle of Yavin. When news of the Empire's defeat reached Taanab, Clara discovered that there was an organization out there that fought against injustice and she wanted to be a part of it. When the Battle of Taanab occurred later that year, it only reinforced her desire to join the Rebel Alliance so that she could have the tools to fight not just the Empire, but anyone who trampled on the rights of others.

The Battle of Taanab would have a profound affect in another way as well since it would be discovered afterwards that some of the pirates ended up killing the parents her father and her uncle, Habas. Habas had long since been Clara's favorite relative. He was considered to be the kid brother of Clara's father, but all Clara really cared about at the time was how cool she considered him to be. She was always fascinated by his unwavering accuracy with blaster rifles. The fact that he was only thirteen years older than she was, which made him more approachable to her, and even more importantly, always took her seriously, were big points in his favor.

After Habas left to avenge his parents and took up the position as a professional assassin, he was considered to be the black sheep of the Molariou family. It was something a young Clara never understood since he was only killing "bad" people. With the same determination she applied to anything she considered to be important, Clara was able to stay in touch with her uncle even while the rest of the family shunned him. Though he never said it in words, Clara was sure Habas was grateful to have at least one member of the family still on speaking terms with him. Their correspondence over the years only strengthened the bond Clara felt with her uncle.

Farewell to Taanab

As Clara grew older, her boyish appearance began to change, much to her dismay, as the physical features she had inherited from her mother gradually took prominence. Although many girls would have considered themselves lucky to develop the way she had, Clara considered it a curse. Most of her guy friends began to treat her differently and she noticed that she was attracting the wrong kind of attention from many other males as well.

Her response to this was to get more violent, hoping that it would teach those who couldn’t see past her surface to respect who she was inside. Instead, though, it had the opposite effect of alienating those around her. Clara was accused of many negative traits from her schoolmates, from being a “psycho” to an “ice queen,” and this only caused her to lash out more. When her visits to detention started to become a weekly occurrence, talk began of sending her to military school.

Her parents rejected the idea until Clara overheard it being discussed and volunteered to go. As far as she was concerned, it would give her an early start on joining the New Republic military, which had become her ambition since the Battle of Taanab. After a few weeks of deliberation from her parents, Clara was stunned when they revealed that they were going to send her to the prestigious Beruss Military Academy on Corellia. It seemed too good to be true since it should have been out of their price range.

However, not being one to question good fortune, Clara didn’t think too much about it; it wouldn’t be until years later that she learned her schooling at Beruss had been funded in large part by her Uncle Habas. As the shuttle took her away from the only home she had ever known, Clara was too excited about her future to look back.

Academy Days

Initially, Clara faced a lot of unsolicited criticism from the other students about her looks; many feeling that a woman with her inherent beauty couldn’t have what it took to be a soldier. It wasn’t just the men either; several of the women recruits voiced the same criticisms. In those early days, students often referred to her as “princess,” and did their best to make her stay as difficult as possible. The hazing Clara received was far more trying than was usual for newcomers for this reason.

Clara wasn’t shy about talking back though, and took great delight in meeting and overcoming every obstacle placed before her, not matter how unreasonable it might be. As she progressed in her classes, the general opinion about her rapidly began to change when it became apparent that not only did she have the skills to be a soldier, she had a dedication and will to succeed that put many of the other students to shame.

There remained a few students with the diehard opinion that she had no business being at a military academy, but by and large she was soon seen as one of the most gifted recruits at Beruss.

Sister Soldier

Clara’s rapid ascension towards the head of the class initially put her at odds with the woman who was thought to be the top female recruit at the academy: Isis Sinclair. Isis enjoyed a privileged status at Beruss thanks to the connections her father, Rodrick Sinclair, had as a senator. Despite this, she had proven herself to be a talented individual in her own right who deserved her status as being the best.

Clara felt otherwise.

Isis had shared the opinion of many that Clara was not fit for military service, and in fact had been more vocal about it than most. Even though Isis was one of the first to reign in her criticisms after it became apparent that Clara was soldier material, Clara had early on singled out Isis as the true spoiled princess at the academy and was determined to knock her off of her throne.

The two women clashed often and without mercy, neither one managing to see how alike they truly were. It would take a training exercise, in which the two were put on a team together, for them to see past their differences. Neither woman would allow themselves to come in second and agreed to a truce. By the end of the three-day exercise against the other teams, their team had not only come out on top, but the two had also come to see that they had no reason to be enemies.

From this mutual understanding a friendship was soon born. In Isis, Clara had finally found another woman she could relate to. Although there were things Isis did that Clara couldn’t understand, and vice/versa, the two became as close as sisters and were usually inseparable.

First Love

One other student who really captured Clara’s attention was a man named Tolaris Aldma; considered to be unbeatable when it came to hand-to-hand combat.
