Backstory[]
From the moment Clara was old enough to walk, talk and think she hated her own name but stuck with it due to being given than name at birth. She was born and raised in New London and from a young age her family let her do what she wanted but made sure she knew when to draw the line, this upbringing made her family very open and honest and she grew up knowing right from wrong. When she started middle school Clara felt different from her peers after discovering music and sexuality and the internet. She learned that there was more to life than just marrying a guy, settling down and having one job for the rest of her life, after learning this she started drifting away from her friends and started being alone. When she started high school she discovered her love of online gaming, TV shows, the violin and singing (not that she was any good at it). During the summer break between freshman and sophomore year she came clean to her parents on her being pansexual, to which they accepted her with open arms.
