Uniform[]

During the Luciela Era of the Old Generation, the current design arrives—the dicky embossed with the warrior's symbol, the sword carrier with horns that hold the cape. And the faulds skirt.

Luciela wears 3-layer spaulders on the shoulders. Her faulds skirt has horizontally overlapped bands on the hips. Chausses protect the lower leg up to the knee. Luciela's uniform resembles Rafaela's.[24]

Personality[]

Witty persona. Much given to double entendre.[26] Heavily censored in current VIZ Media translation.

A "poor eater" of flesh, whether that of awakened beings or Claymore warriors.[27]

In Chaldean Numerology, the number 1, Luciela's number, is the number of someone fated to dominate over all others. Or fail catastrophically.

Datasheet[]

Class[]

Luciela is an offensive type.[28] Due to their high level, the baselines of Creatures of the Abyss are not measurable and therefore unknown.[29]

In theory, a baseline chart would consist of all EXs, EX being the Organization's rating for "unmeasurable."[30]

History[]

Early life unknown.

Luciela awakens[]

In flashback, warrior No. 1, Luciela, fully awakens during first Controlled Awakening experiment. Her younger sister, Rafaela, is unable change back Luciela. Luciela wreaks havoc on Organization Headquarters and escapes.[31] As a result, Rafaela is decommissioned as warrior and goes into exile.[32]

Recommissioned[]

After an indeterminate number of years, Rubel finds Rafaela living in cave. He tells her that the now adult Teresa was lost, along with warriors No. 2 through 5. He offers the position of No. 5 to Rafaela, who accepts in exchange for Luciela's whereabouts.[33]

Death[]

After the Organization's defeat in Pieta, Isley invades Mucha. [34]

In the ensuing combat, Isley fires his crossbow. Shot with arrows, Luciela resembles Renaissance paintings of St. Sebastian.[35]

Eventually, Isley defeats Luciela. Rafaela, who watched the battle, finds a weakened Luciela kneeling in a stream. They embrace, but Rafaela breaks Luciela's back. Rafaela injects Yoma power into Luciela and they merge.[36]

Later Riful, who arrives too late to help Luciela,[37] finds the merged sisters and brings them back to Lautrec.[38]

After Riful and Dauf leave, Clare enters castle (Witch's Maw II) and finds chamber where hangs Luciela x Rafaela. Clare enters its mind.[39]

Dream within a dream[]

Clare enters the mind of Luciela x Rafaela. In a dream world, Clare and Jean meet Rafaela in a replay from Scene 50.[40]

When Clare reaches out, Jean is gone. Rafaela attacks and kills Clare. [41]

But Clare wakes from dream within dream. Switching from Windcutter to Quicksword, Clare kills Rafaela with Ilena's arm. Rafaela gives Clare all her memories, among which is "something you must know."[42]

Destroyer[]

When the Destroyer awakens, the castle bursts apart.[43]

Clare's naked body emerges from a sea of Yoma tissue. She gazes on sky-high entity—the Destroyer—a demonic parody of twin goddesses of love, Teresa and Clare.[44]

Destroyer forms a crown of rods, resembling radiant halo of Apollo.[45] A 180 degree barrage of rods begins as Deneve and Helen reach Clare.[46]
