When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days.

The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Claira took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up longsword and armor she uses now.
