“	Hmm... He lacks a little finesse for a noble... I especially think he has to take care of his hair a little more...	”	— Clarine when Klein asks her opinion on Roy.

Clarine (クラリーネ, Kurarīne) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. She first appears in Chapter 4.

A quite spoiled and snobbish troubadour, Clarine is the daughter of Lord Reglay and the younger sister of the Archery General of Etruria.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Role

Clarine is the second child of Pent and Louise, the counts of Reglay. As most ladies of Etruria, she has lived secluded and surrounded by all kinds of luxuries. However, previous to the games' events, she left the family mansion to visit her brother, Klein, who is the current Archery General of their country and whom she greatly admires.

While searching in Lycia, she is captured by Erik, the marquess of Laus, who claims to be able of reuniting her with Klein. His real motive, though, is to offer her as a gift to Narcian, one of the Dragon Lords of Bern. When presented to Narcian, she mocks him, barely keeping her life thanks to the unexpected invasion of Roy's army. Erik locks her up, so that Narcian can use her later, but Rutoga, a mercenary hired by Erik, sets her free and makes her leave the castle amidst the confusion.

Suddenly, Clarine finds herself in the middle of a battle and decides to join Roy's side to stay out of danger. When Rutoga appears on the battlefield, she rides towards him and angrily berates him for not treating royalty correctly; her remark about fighting against Bern makes him to defect to Roy's side as well. After the battle, she remains in the army for the rest of the war.

Some time after, when the Lycia Alliance Army is fighting bandits in the Western Isles, she finally meets her brother and convinces him to not attack the Alliance Army and to join their cause, confessing how mortifying the Etrurian nobles' behavior towards the islands is.

After Bern is defeated and the war is over, she returns home and carries on with her normal life, gaining the admiration of her peers with her kindness and charm.

Personality and character

Clarine is a self-centered and arrogant girl who is often rude to others, although she does have good intentions. She usually looks down on people due to their social status, and takes great pride in her Etrurian heritage, remarking that Lance is not as good as Etrurian knights are. She also seems to romanticize the concept of gentlemen and knighthood, asking either Lance or Rutoga to take care of her at all costs, and even authorizing the Pheraen cavalier to kiss her hand.

Despite her mean appearance, Clarine does have a kind side, shown in her support conversations with Rutoga and Dorothy. She takes the timid archer under her protection and tries to make her a true lady, helping Dorothy with her self-esteem issues and becoming good friends in the process, while with Rutoga, she recognizes some of her mistakes with her treatment of the swordsman and apologizes to him. While growing up, she heard many stories about Deke, the mercenary who saved Klein's life. She is really happy to have met him at last, as she always considered him an important person.

She greatly admires her older brother, Klein, and strives to become a source of pride for him. Her need for his approval is so big that she is willing to do anything, even to mistreat others. Eventually, he calls her out on it, stating that she is still a child.

Clarine takes great pride in her appearance; despite being in the middle of a war, she suggests Dorothy to wash her hair three times a day. When reminiscing about her childhood with her brother, she mentions how one of her goals was to be the most elegant lady in Etruria. Yet, some time after joining Roy's army, she states that she does not want to go back to the mansion, even though she wants to see her parents. According to her she would have to live a boring life. By then, she has grown up enough to desire a more interesting life than just decorating herself. This shows that she has grown up as not just a snobbish girl but a quite introspective lady.
