Erwin (son)

Jennifer (daughter)

Klara Hauptmann is one the main supporting characters within the Modern Arc as well as several of the fantasy arcs and is often featured as a secondary character in Planty's side quests. She is the wife of Otto- Wolfgang and the daughter of Carolus, the King of Sweden, but keeps this mostly a secret from the rest of the main characters. Even though she is averse to fighting, when in combat, she wields the Uncontrollable Sledgehammer and some martial arts she's learnt. It is unknown whether she is immortal or not.

## Appearance

Klara is a tall and somewhat slender woman of 180 cm with blonde and brown-dyed hair. She has a decent-sized bust and being very athletic, also has some well-defined abs that she hides under her clothing. Even though she is a similar age to Paul, she appears a few years younger, as though she is in her late twenties. As a nod to *the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo*, she has a small black bird tattoo under her right shoulder.

Klara is one of the only characters in the arc that constantly changes her outer clothing within and between episodes. Her clothing is based on whatever her scheduled event is. For instance, her workout attire follows a similar trend, but with different colours. However, she is quite fond of a certain bunny suit which she brandishes often times as a joke.

Although not always, she is known to not wear underwear, even with shorter dresses and pieces of clothing.

## Personality

Klara is generally a kind and sweet person, even though at times she teases people relentlessly, and pretty outgoing. Although she is a similar age to Paul, she can act somewhat childish in some of the things she does. For instance she has on occasion annoyed several people to death and causes occasional disruptions between the Squad, often not taking "stop" for an answer. She genuinely cares for her children, even if they get mixed signals from her and Otto. Because of her caring attitudes, many people within the story often confide in her for guidance (chief among them Otto) and she will often try to alleviate whatever troubles people bring up.

For several unexplained reasons, she has developed an addiction to sex and has been diagnosed (both by Otto and other doctors) as having hypersexuality, and when nowhere near Otto, will try to seduce several people (perhaps even in the same day) with varying degrees of success.

## Abilities and Powers

CALMING PERSONA

> Although unexplained, she can often calm even the rage-filled psychopaths and make them less violent and more caring for others. She has also used this ability to tranquilize stressed out and on some occasions, even normal people.
>
>

ADRENALINE RUSH

> Similar to Leifur and Otto, Klara has a powerful adrenaline rush that kicks in when she or people she cares about are close to death or are in danger. This ability was first seen when she rescued Otto during a fire when she was pretty heavily injured and unable to get help from Elise or Akiel.
>
>

DEADLY LUST

> She can attract people with her body and distract them while the rest go around.

## Character Backstory

Born on Sweden's National Day in 1977, she was supposed to be "the Child of Sweden", even though she missed the Crown Princess title by about three years. Many of her younger photos showed her in older and more traditional Swedish garments. However, as the years went on, she became more apt to not follow this idea that her father and mother pushed onto her. From around fourteen, she began doing several unorthodox things- from hanging with a group of D&D enthusiasts to joining a rowing club and confusing her teachers in regards to her in-class abilities. Although not approved initially by her parents, they relented finding it to be in the natural path of things.

Klara continued in her unorthodox practices, continuing to shock people with her grades and intelligence. It was during secondary school that she also began to dip into several illegal activities, which lead to her getting a personal bodyguard for when she wasn't at school. Yet this did not actually help the situation. This lead to Carolus deciding on his famous compromise. In order for Clara to go to the university in which she wanted without the clout of her father, she would have to do activities that would distance herself from the illicit activities she was doing. This lead to her being more involved in rowing, but this only lead to increase her affinity for other women and arguably worsened her hypersexuality. Nevertheless, her ruse worked and she was allowed to attend her top-pick university with her own merit.

### The Infamous Dr. Hauptmann

It was at the end of the millennia when she first met Otto- Wolfgang, who at the time, was still hunting for Werner. First, they met in a park when Otto was in the process of chasing down Donovan Kessler while in Gotland. Otto offered her coffee or lunch for having collided with her with such force. Although Otto was not intending this to go far, she took a liking to him and offered to repay the favor. After much convincing, Otto accepted her request.

For the next several weeks and later, months, they communicated occasionally and got know each other a lot more. It was here that he was slowly introduced to the rest of Klara's circle and she was introduced to his freindcircles. After Werner's defeat, she and Otto began seeing more often; although she was unaware of this fact and simply saw it as Otto wanting to further their relationship. This would continue peacefully until Dreifuss decided to pay them a visit while the two of them were at Otto's house in Vienna. Although unaware of the many intricacies of what was occurring, she quickly caught on and became a valuable asset to both Otto and Elise- the former of which took protecting a Princess very seriously.

It is during this episode that Klara is shown to be a very competent fighter and similarly to Otto, good at improvision. Although some of her methods weren't necessarily the best, they come to accept her as a valuable asset and find numerous excuses for not actually bringing her back to Sweden until the job's done. Although this nearly backfires on them in the final battle with Dreifuss, she maintains that that was the most exciting portion of her life and that she'd love to continue a lifestyle like that with Otto, even if it meant she couldn't indulge in certain other activities that she enjoyed. It is here in the hospital that Otto explains much of his backstory.

Although not in the story itself, she asked Otto to be his wife presumably in the following weeks.
