I had no idea Clara was an OC! Could I learn a little bit more about her? :D
A chance to talk about my oc? ABSOLUTELY! (all the links are for character overviews i’ve written)
Okay, Clara is a half-breed, daughter of Dwalin son of Fundin and Mirabelle Took. She was an accident. Not intended at all. A result of a summer fling. Dwalin had left back to the blue mountains long before Mirabelle figured out she was pregnant. Mirabelle was incredibly independent and stubborn about the whole thing, and refused to write to Dwalin and tell him. She died giving birth, so little Clara lived in Tuckborough until she was 33, because Belladonna (who had been helping out the most) had a family of her own now and knew Clara needed a more stable home.
So imagine Dwalin’s shock when he gets a letter from his ex-lovers sister that he has had a child for over three decades and that the child now needed a home.
Of course, Dwalin is honorable (he would’ve taken charge of Clara ages ago if he had known), and came to the Shire to take Clara back to the Blue Mountains.
Clara made a home there, with Fili and Kili as her best friends, and Dwalin (he ends up having the biggest soft spot for her, and she uses that to her advantage), Balin, and Dís all acting as her parents. Life was good.
Until she was kidnapped and sold into child labor in Bree.
There, she made unusual friends with a half-elf from Rhûn named Athenir, who was in the same predicament she was in. He outgrew her in maturity quickly, though not in age, so they have a weird sometimes-im-the-older-sibling-sometimes-youre-the-older-sibling relationship. They were eventually rescued by a ranger named Rantin, who took them to Fornost to train them. He did try bringing Clara back to the Blue Mountains, but she found her old village abandoned, with no sign of what happened. So she returned to Fornost and trained as a Ranger for many years, until she happened to be foraging for mushrooms outside of Bree at the same time Kili and Fili were hunting for the company...
I have so so so much written for Clara and my other ocs, i just need to organize it and post it lol. She goes through so much shit, the quest for erebor and bofta aren’t even close to the climax of her story, they’re only a plot point to get her reunited with her old friends and family.
She’s been evolving over the years (originally, she was the daughter of Beorn and best friends with Legolas lol), but now i have her into a form that i feel best writing her in.
Heres links to other oc’s in my story that i didn’t mention here: Brenior, Adana, Nika
