==Etymology==
The original Japanese [[:Category:Claymore|Claymore]] name, テレサとクレア, transliterates from "Teresa and Clare."

==Appearance==
Two Greek-like goddesses joined as Siamese twins, back-to-back. They wear over-the-shoulder length hair and share one pair of wings. Teresa is on the left, Clare is on the right.<ref>''Claymore 12'', Scene 67, p. 106</ref><br><br>[[Image:Scene 041a.jpg|330px]]<br>'''Original manga version'''<br><br>With the anime version, [[Wikipedia:Artistic license|Artistic license]] is used in depicting Teresa and Clare as being the same height.

==History==
==='''New old name'''===
After [[Teresa]] inadvertently rescues a mysterious girl from a Yoma pack, the girl insist on tagging along. 
As they journey through the wilderness, Teresa tires of not being able to address the girl with a proper name.

On a spur of the moment, Teresa names the girl "[[Clare]]," only to find out that ''is'' her name.

Teresa tells Clare about the twin goddesses. She speculates that Clare's parents named her Clare in hopes that she would have the goddess's traits.<ref>''Claymore 3'', Scene 14, p. 158; ''Claymore'', Anime Scene 5</ref>

==='''Hamel'''===
Clare deserts the [[:Category:The Organization|Organization]] for three months, as she searches for [[Raki]]. In the town of [[Hamel]], she discovers two children arguing over the Teresa and Clare statue in the village plaza. The boy tells his younger [[sister]] that he told her about the statue, but she replies that a stranger told him about the statue.<ref>''Claymore 8'', Scene 41, p. 58; ''Claymore'', Anime Scene 15</ref><br><br>[[Image:Claymore Teresa and Clare|500px]]<br />'''Clare in Hamel'''<br><br>On questioning the children, they confirm Raki's temporary presence in town, but are unable to tell his current whereabouts.<ref>''Claymore 8'', Scene 41, pp. 58–59; ''Claymore'', Anime Scene 15</ref>

==='''Alfons'''===
===='''Pieta'''====
In the anime, [[Galatea]] remotely observes the combat between [[Priscilla]] and Clare from the interior of a Pieta church, its stained-glass window depicting the goddesses Teresa and Clare.<ref>''Claymore'', [[Anime Scene 26]]</ref>

[[Rubel]] suddenly appears and asks if Clare is still alive, [[Galatea]] falsely reports that Clare's Yoma aura is undetectable. As Rubel leaves, thinking Clare is dead, Galatea silently wishes Clare good luck.<ref>''Claymore'', Anime Scene 26</ref><br><br>[[Image:Claymore Pieta church|500px]]<br />'''Galatea inside church'''<br><br>
===='''7-year timeskip'''====
After the [[:Category:7-year timeskip|7-year timeskip]], Clare discovers an underground slave prison in a ruined [[:Category:Alfons|Alfons]] village.
