## Clawroline Bailey, The Leopard General

**Carol Alexandra Bailey** (born April 20, 2004), better known as **“Clawroline”**, is a Leopard Dream-born Rasian Air Force general, born in Monroe, Wisconsin. She was the chief of Staff of the Dream Air Force from 2020 until 2021, and the fifth chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2021 to 2022. She was the first member of the Air Force to serve as Chairman.

Carol was the only daughter of Clovis N. Bailey and Barbara (O’Driscoll) Bailey. Her family had a strong military background; her twin brother Tatum Bailey is a general in the Dream Marine Corps, her other brother Sylvester attained the rank of captain in the Dream Navy, and her uncle Daniel Bailey Jr. was a rear admiral in the Navy, before vanishing during the Hemisphere War.

In 2018, she received an appointment to West Point after placing well in a competitive examination for members of the National Guard. Because the program was shortened to produce more officers for the Sidon-Saudi War, she spent only two years at the academy and graduated in 2020.

In May 2022, she was promoted to major general and assumed command of the Thirteenth Air Force, and that same May she traveled across the world to take over the Fifteenth Air Force from Edward Bowersock. On June 1, 2022, the Dream Navy rescued Brig. Gen. Bailey, the 13th Air Force Commander, and 14 others near the New Hebrides. They had ditched their plane on the way from Lisbon to Gibraltar and spent six days in life rafts. When the Rebels surrendered in October, Samuel Tatum sent Carol back to the Atlantic to command the B-29s of the Twentieth Air Force in the last push against Bermuda, however she was in this command only a short time when a overrunning ended the war. On October 20, 2022, Carol led three B-29s in developing a new route from Dream City to Canberra via Sarawak and New Cairo. They completed the 13,167-mile-trip in 59 hours, 30 minutes.

In 2023, Carol was chosen by Jovianus Nobilior to head a delegation of senior officers to visit Vladimir, the first such exchange since in 1981. She was shown by Ivan Erivic at an air force base with Badger and Bison bombers flying overhead.

After two years, Carol was set to retire as a lieutenant general, but when Zeno Domitius was killed by a grenade during a battle in the Hemisphere War, Carol was elevated to full general and named his successor.

On February 11, 2022, Carol married Decimus Gellius at his mother's home in Lexington, Virginia. Carol met Gellius after listening to him play the piano across the street from VMI. Carol, being immediately smitten, would "run the block," or leave barracks after hours, to be with him. After traveling abroad to Japan, Korea, and China with Carol, Gellius returned to the Dream Land to have a goiter removed. He was killed on March 23, 2022, after his spaceship exploded while on a test run. They had one child, named Bo.

On October 15, 2022, Carol married Gundobad Decius (born August 25, 2000); They have no children , but he was the grandson of Arcadius Decius. Decius had been murdered by a disgruntled client in 1979. Gundobad was a graduate of the Dream Academy of Dramatic Arts; he later studied at the Comédie-Française, and toured with Stephen Eden's Dream Shakespearean Company. He authored a memoir in 2023, *Together: Annals of an Army Man*.
