Clair

"Thanks. You've saved me. I'm Clair of the knights of Zofia. I was captured by Dozah's soldiers and imprisoned here. Clive, the leader of the liberation forces, is my older brother. Since I'm returning to the base too, why don't we go together?"

- Clair in Gaiden

Clair (クレア Kurea, Clea in the Japanese version and Claire in some of the fan translations) is a playable character from Fire Emblem Gaiden. Her brother is Clive. She starts off as a Pegasus Knight and can be promoted to a Falcon Knight. She is a knight of Zofia, but was captured by Dozah's men. She was found by Alm after he and his army stormed an enemy fortress. After the war, Robin and Grey fought over her, although she eventually married Grey.

Overall
Clair is a classic case of a character that starts out weak, but after a few levels they wind up holding their own and eventually wind up being great units. This is commonly the case with Pegasus Knights, and Clair is no exception. She starts off doing low damage and you will need to feed her experience for a few levels before she comes up to task. Though she will inevitably end up with very low Defense, so it might be a good idea to give her a Javelin.

In Alm's route, she can be very useful since she is the only Pegasus Knight that Alm can recruit, and thus the only unit that can fly over walls to get to ranged units or Exorcists.

When considering all of the Pegasus Knights in Gaiden, Clair is very agile but fragile. Catria and Est are both strong all rounders whose balance between Speed and Strength usually makes them the most offensively potent, and Palla is strong and durable but slow for a Pegasus Knight.

Ending
She gave into Grey's persistence and reluctantly got together with him. "Awww, it was Alm who I really liked..."
 * (If Grey is alive)

"Oh, Grey. To tell the truth, I was going to let you win..." Alone, she lived on in regret for the late Grey.
 * (If Grey is dead)

Quotes
"Everyone... protect Alm..."

Trivia

 * Clair has blue hair in her in-game portrait in Fire Emblem Gaiden and her artwork in The Complete. However, in the game's manual and in Fire Emblem: Awakening (probably to match from the game manual artwork), she has red hair.
