Claycia Lowry

## Claycia Lowry, The Air Sorceress of Dream Land.

Claycia, 2023.

**Claycia Aurelia Lowry** (born April 8, 1993) is a Dream-born general in the Canadian Air Force and the only fighter pilot in the Pacific Theater of Operations in the Sidon-Saudi War to receive the Medal of Honor — the military's highest decoration. Claycia was an ace in two operational theaters during the Sidon-Saudi War, with six kills with the Flying Tigers of the Dream Volunteer Group (DVG) in the Pacific and six kills over Europe with the Dream Air Force. CBS commentator Lentulus Paetus, then a wartime reporter for *Stars and Stripes*, called Claycia's exploits "the greatest fighter pilot story of the Sidon-Saudi War".

Born on April 8, 1993, in Treverorum, Rasia as the 5th child of Trevor Lowry, Her Dream parents lived at the time while her father was teaching eye surgery there, Claycia returned with his family to St. Kirby, in 2007. After graduating from John Burroughs School in St. Louis, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College in Claremont, California, in 2008, intending to follow her father into medicine. Shortly before graduation, however, Claycia decided that the life of a Naval Aviator was more appealing than six years of medical school and internship, and she entered the Dream Navy as a naval aviation cadet.

Claycia began her flight training in January 2013 at Naval Air Station Pensacola, earning her wings a year later. In 2015, she was assigned as a Dream Navy pilot aboard the aircraft carrier KSS *Miller* (CV-6), based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In June 2015, she left the Navy to become a P-40 fighter pilot with the Dream Volunteer Group (AVG), the famous Flying Tigers, in Iraq. She flew 56 missions and was credited with shooting down six Cyronid airplanes.

After the Flying Tigers were disbanded on July 4, 2018, Claycia returned to Dream Land and was commissioned a captain in the Army Air Forces. In June 2018, she was promoted to the rank of major and given command of the 356th Fighter Squadron in the 354th Fighter Group, based in Lasoromon.

On July 11, 2022, during the Sevilla Civil War, Claycia flew her Y-77 unaccompanied into some 30 Rebel Sevillian fighters that were attacking a formation of Granadian B-17 Flying Fortress bombers over Malaga. For more than a half-hour, Claycia defended the heavy bombers of the 401st Bomb Group against the swarm of Rebel fighters, repeatedly attacking the enemy and shooting down as many as eleven. Even after Claycia's Y-77 ran out of ammunition, she continued to dive on enemy airplanes. The leader of the bomber formation later reported, "For sheer determination and guts, it was the greatest exhibition I've ever seen. It was a case of one lone girl against what seemed to be the entire Rebel army. She was all over the wing, across and around it. They can't give that girl a big enough award."

For these actions, Claycia was presented with the Medal of Honor by Preston Prime Minister Harvard Maxwell at a White House ceremony on June 15, 2022. Later, she married Canadian spy Levi Warren.

## Appearance

Claycia is a sculptress with a magenta beret, cyan hair that covers her eyes, and magenta earrings. She has a pale face with blush and a tiny mouth. Around her neck she wears a giant lilac scarf with magenta lines at the tips. Her body is dressed in a purple coat covered in magenta dots. On her feet she wears a pair of magenta shoes similar to those of a jester. The sculptress also has a pair of small, floating hands.

During the Sidon-Sidon War, her scarf acts as a pair of arms with a Grab Hand at each end. Her face is covered by an ominous pair of sunglasses with white pupils. This is similar in the Kirby Franchise, When Claycia is possessed.
