* [[Action Heroine]]

* [[Almighty Janitor]] - Clare after meeting {{spoiler|Irene}} until the climactic battle in the north. She's ranked dead last out of 47. Before then she's largely deserving of her rank {{spoiler|and, after then, she deserted, so she doesn't have a rank anymore anyway}}.

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Theoretically, she's the Organization's weakest warrior besides Clarice. However, she has at least one inherent skill {{spoiler|inherited from her sort-of-mother, [[Badass|Teresa]]}} that she's ''VERY'' hard to top at. Oh and she [[Training From Hell|trains]] and [[Mega Manning|mega-mans like crazy.]]

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Kikuko Inoue]] (JP), [[Monica Rial]] (EN)}}

* [[Badass]]

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Miki Nagasawa]] (JP), [[Jamie Marchi]] (EN)}}

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type II

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Asexual Life Partners]]: Helen and Deneve are for all intents and purposes inseparable. Of course, a lot of fans see this as [[Les Yay|something else...]]

* {{spoiler|[[This Is a Drill]]: After the timeskip, Helen has mastered the Drill Sword, which combined with her [[Rubber Man|Rubber Woman]] status currently makes her the most ridiculous ranged attacker in the series.}}

 

Number 15.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Hana Takeda]] (JP), [[Caitlin Glass]] (EN)}}

Number 9.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Kotono Mitsuishi]] (JP), [[Laura Bailey]] (EN)}}

* [[Defiant to the End]]: After her other comrades were killed at the hands of Riful's torture, only Jean was left. Riful gives her one last chance to just give in and join her side. Jean's response?

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: And how!

 

Number 5, former Number 2. {{spoiler|Originally from a generation or two before Teresa's, made as part of an experiment to control an awakened being, eventually perfected with Alicia and Beth.}}

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Satsuki Yukino]] (JP), [[Kate Oxley]] (EN)}}

* [[The Exile]]: She was temporarily kicked out of the organization and sent to live as a hermit outside of towns surrounding the organization's headquarters, in order to {{spoiler|lessen the chance of her awakening after Luciela.}}

----

[[folder:Claymores<br />Teresa's generation]]

 

Former Number 1.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Romi Paku]] (JP), [[Christine Auten]] (EN)}}

 

* [[Action Mom]]: To Clare, [[Defrosting Ice Queen|eventually.]]

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type IV ---> Type II

* [[Worth Living For]]: She refuses to be executed because Clare is this to her.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Minami Takayama]] (JP), [[Wendy Powell]] (EN)}}

* [[Badass]]: Like nearly everyone else.

** [[Handicapped Badass]]: {{spoiler|Losing her arm}} didn't do much to slow her down.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Her hair is so blonde, it's practically white.

 

Former Number 2. Was Number 1 Before Teresa was ranked.

 

* [[And Then John Was a Zombie]]

* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]

* [[You Monster!]]: To {{spoiler|Teresa}}, not that she can talk.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Junko Takeuchi]] (JP), [[Leah Clark]] (EN)}}

 

* [[Red Baron]]: "Stormwind," for her speed and agility.

* [[She Fu]]: Her fighting style.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Is the tomboy to Sophia.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Megumi Toyoguchi]] (JP), [[Trina Nishimura]] (EN)}}

 

* [[Glacier Waif]]: She's not especially slow but she's much more renowned for her strength than her speed.

* [[Red Baron]]: "Muscular," for her immense strength.

[[folder: Claymores<br />Clarice's generation]]

 

Number 47.

 

Post time-skip, she is the new number 47 Claymore, taking Clare's position. She is most definitely ''not'' an [[Almighty Janitor]] and is showing no signs of becoming one anytime soon.

 

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Treated as such by pretty much every other Claymore since her hair is brown rather than some shade of blonde. Clarice claims its because she had very dark hair before she was turned into a Claymore. Everyone else thinks its because she's a failed attempt at making a warrior and only admitted to the Organization because of the shortage of numbers.

* [[Badass and Child Duo]]: A bit of an inversion since Miata is more of the badass, [[Took a Level In Badass|at least at first.]]

** [[Took a Level In Badass]]: She is getting better though, even if she's still being overshadowed.

 

Number 4.

 

Current Number 4 in the Organization and makes the previous Number 4 Ophelia look positively ''sane''. Clarice is the only one who can get her to do anything and only because Miata has latched onto her as a mother figure, including mock breastfeeding which Clarice has threatened to withhold as punishment.

 

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Once she becomes more stable and her hair is moved to the side, Miata is quite the adorable child. Just make sure you keep her that way, or...

* [[Four Is Death]]

* [[Wild Child]]: Shown as feral and completely uncontrollable before assigned to Clarice as a partner. Still doesn't like taking baths though.

 

Number 3.

 

* [[Combination Attack]]: With Rachel.

* [[Lady of War]]

* [[Waif Fu]]

 

Number 5.

 

* [[Bifauxnen]]: Despite not dressing like a man at all, she somehow manages this.

* [[Bokukko]]: So much so that some suspect she's really a hermaphrodite.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Is the tomboy to Audrey.

 

Number 7.

 

* {{spoiler|[[I Owe You My Life]]: Joins the Ghosts after they save the lives of her and her squad.}}

* [[Nakama]]: Treats her teammates as this.

* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Tries to do this, but is joined by Nike.

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Defector From Decadence]]: Joins the Ghosts after she learns that the Organization controls the Yoma}}

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: With [[Hime Cut]] bangs.

* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]]: Much to the aggravation of Helen and Deneve.

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Defector From Decadence]]}}

* [[Hunter of His Own Kind]]: Made specially for keeping the other Claymores in line.

 

 

Number 15.

 

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[Nakama]]: She's in Anastasia's team, so that is a given.

[[folder:Claymores<br />other generations]]

 

Number 1. Deceased. {{spoiler|Resurrected.}}

 

* [[Attention Whore]]: [[Catch Phrase|She hates being ignored more than anything]], and she proved it by {{spoiler|refusing an implicit [[Enemy Mine]] because the potential ally has the nerve to strike the common foe without taking care of her first}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]}}

* [[Red Baron]]: [[Dissonant Serenity|Hysteria]] [[Flash Step|the]] [[Lady of War|Elegant.]]

 

Number 1. Deceased. {{spoiler|Resurrected.}}

 

* {{spoiler|[[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Even her fellow warriors tened to look down on her ugly-but-effective fighting style, and those that had seen it usually shunned her.}}

* {{spoiler|[[And Then John Was a Zombie|And then, Cassandra was an Awakened Being:]] As of 120.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Villain]]}}: {{spoiler|Out of the three resurrected #1s, Cassandra is the only one to stop and think, "Why am I attacking other Claymores? This is wrong." Her backstory indicates that she was not a bad person, but was understandably driven to violence by Roxanne's treachery. if it it weren't for the fact that she [[Came Back Wrong]], maybe she could have become an ally.}}

** {{spoiler|And then [[Tragic Monster]].}}

*** {{spoiler|Chapter 127 reveals she's on her way Rabona to free Priscilla, in part due to [[Puppeteer Parasite|Priscilla's will influencing her]].}}

 

 

Number 1. Deceased. {{spoiler|Resurrected.}}

 

* {{spoiler|[[A Plague on Both Your Houses]]: "Keep eating shit for the rest of your life." to Cassandra.}}

* {{spoiler|[[All Your Powers Combined]]: She has Uranus's Ugly Sword technique, Nadeen's youki perception, and Elizabeth's Beautiful Sword technique.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Yandere]]}}

 

Number 5. Deceased.

 

* [[Lady of War]]: Her sword technique was called "Beautiful" at least.

* [[The Stoic]]

 

Number 9. Deceased.

 

* [[Disability Superpower]]: Had poor depth-perception for obvious reasons but used her youki perception to compensate.

* [[The Force Is Strong with This One]]

 

Number 31. Deceased.

 

* [[The Brute]]: Her style of swordplay, not her demeanor.

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Her "Ugly Sword" technique wasn't graceful at all but [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|it was effective.]]

== Awakened Beings ==

 

Former Number 2.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Aya Hisakawa]] (JP), [[Brina Palencia]] (EN)}}

* [[Badass]]: Yes, the majority of characters are this, but holy ''crap'' does she deserve special mention after the latest chapters! {{spoiler|By ''herself'', and ''without'' shifting to her Awakened form, she ''utterly dominates'' both Alicia ''and'' Beth, who ''are'' in their Awakened forms, and this is after the former has demonstrated that she is at ''least'' as powerful as Riful. Hot. ''Damn''.}}

** {{spoiler|Not surprisingly, she hits Clare with [[The Worf Effect]] in [http://www.onemanga.com/Claymore/100/11/ Chapter 100.]}}

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Her Awakened form.

 

Abyssal One. Formerly the first female Number 1.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Nana Mizuki]] (JP), [[Brittney Karbowski]] (EN)}}

* [[Affably Evil]]: She really wants to be your friend, she's only torturing you horribly so you'll awaken and join her side.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Riful's awakened form is composed entirely of these.

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: She makes this offer to Claymores that she comes across in order to get them to join her side. If they decline, well, [[Cold-Blooded Torture|she has other methods of ''persuading'' them...]]

 

Former Number 3 of the male generation.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Kenji Hamada]] (JP), [[Chris Ayres]] (EN)}}

* [[The Brute]]

* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Forcing the poles his Awakened form makes naturally through the stomachs and spines of the soldiers he and Riful capture.

* [[You Are Number Six]]: Dauf was the #3 of the generation of men.

 

Abyssal One. Formerly the Number 1 of the male generation of Claymores.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Kouji Yusa]] (JP), [[John Swasey]] (EN)}}

* [[Badass Long Hair]]

* [[Bishonen]]

* {{spoiler|[[Worf Had the Flu]] (... sort of. The only reason he died ''at all'' is that the Abyss Feeders had spent the last several ''years'' relentlessly wearing him down. The reason it's 'sort of' is that even with these wounds, he hardly went out without a fight; dominating Helen and Deneve with only a fraction of his power and killing five of the eleven Feeders sent against him. And made even worse by the fact that he would've survived a bit longer had he been able to kill just a single one more than he had in the end, because the Feeders defense mechanism is to retreat when a set number die in battle.)}}

 

Silver Lion King. The former Number 2 of the male generation.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Hiro Yuuki]] (JP), [[Vic Mignogna]] (EN)}}

* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Clearly finds his work distasteful and even apologies to the Claymores before engaging them.

* [[Badass]]

* [[You Are Number Six]]: The former #2 of the male generation.

 

Abyssal One.

 

Luciela is the ruler of the south {{spoiler|and one half of a failed spirit aligning experiment, the other being Raphaela.}}

* [[Animal Eyes]]: Her eyes resemble a cat's.

* [[Affably Evil]]: Makes nice small talk with Isley before transforming and leveling the landscape.

* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]]: Dies a few chapters after she is truly introduced.

 

Bloody Agatha. Former Number 2.

 

* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: {{spoiler|Her hair, which connects her fake and real body.}}

* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Her [[Spider Tank]] body is BIG.

 

== '''Rubel''' (aka '''Louvre''') ==

Clare's handler, who assigns Clare her missions.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Hiroaki Hirata]] (JP), [[R Bruce Elliot]] (EN)}}

* [[Anti-Hero]] (Type IV or V)

* [[Cynical Mentor]]: Not Clare's mentor by far, but he is awfully cynical toward her.

* {{spoiler|[[Wild Card]]: post [[Time Skip]]}}

 

Handler of Galatea, Ophelia and Miria

Teresa's Handler. Wears a hooded cloak.

 

 

Clarice and Miata's Handler. Has a long black psuedo-hood on the back of his head.

 

 

Head of the Retrieval Squad.

* [[We Have Reserves]]: When his men were worried about transporting a {{spoiler|Destroyer Infected Raki}}, he told them the organizations goals were more important than the risk of them losing their life (because he obviously would take another path).

 

 

The Leader of the Organization and head of its council.

== Humans ==

 

One of the few important human characters in the claymore universe. He winds up becoming Clare's traveling companion.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Motoki Takagi]] (JP), [[Todd Haberkorn]] (EN)}}

* [[Armor Is Useless]]: Averted. Raki actually puts his armor, his gauntlets specifically, to good use when deflecting an attack from a yoma when he is reintroduced after the time skip.

* [[Badass Boast]]: He does this a lot after the time skip. Trust us when we say that he has every right to now.

** {{spoiler|However, she did save him from [[The Virus]] before leaving when she didn't have to, making this more of a strange [[Pet the Dog]] moment.}}

 

A priest of Rabona who calls Clare to the Holy City and later serves as an aid for other rogue Claymores that come there.

 

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Disobeys the Robonan Law against Claymores entering the city when a Youma appears there and thus helps get the law repealed/laxed.

 

A knight of the holy city and captain of the guard.

 

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: He's a normal human who jumps around on rooftops ''in full plate armor!''

 

Galk's right hand man.
