## History

Claire Farron’s father died when she was very young, and her mother passed from illness when she was 15. Left an orphan, Claire raised her younger sister Serah by herself, and took the name “Lightning” both to cope with the loss of her parents and to become more like an adult. This quickly led her to become somewhat cold and distant from everyone except Serah.

After she graduated high school, Lightning joined the Bodhum security regiment Guard Corps, where she rose to the rank of Sergeant. However, this led to her spending less and less time with Serah, who eventually became a l'Cie, putting herself in great danger. Lightning quit the Guard Corps to save Serah, but she eventually ended up becoming a l'Cie herself in order to save her sister.
