a small snippet of some of Clayers travels around the world with her adorable little companion Gummy.

Clayer was the daughter of two professional fencers. They wished to raise a child to carry on their legacies. They trained her to fence since she was old enough to walk. Outside of training and basic caretaking, they were emotionally neglectful. They saw her as a project to complete then a child who needed love and affection. They left her to her own devices in her room in the attic between meals and training sessions.

Her room had an old tube TV that she relied on for emotional comfort. She loved watching recordings of circus performers, clowns, singers, and acrobats. One day when she was 16 she packed her things and ran away to join the circus. She was a little too late and the carnival that was in town had packed up and left. She hit the road hiking after the circus.
