## Trivia

* One can gather from the books that Claire's mom, Mrs. Martinson, works as a teacher. Her father appears to do something in business.
* In the second book, Secret in the Stone, Claire receives a new pencil from Scholar Terra. Terra claims the pencil, which is a jumble of Tiller and Gemmer magic, belonged to Charlotte Sagebrush, who invented the first alphabet with it. Later on in the series it is destroyed, and remade by Arden's unicorns.
* **Etymology:** The name Claire is a French name meaning "bright or clear". Elaina is the Italian form of Helen, which is a Greek name that comes from the word helios or sun. Martinson is a last name that means son of Martin.
* At the end of the last book, Claire and Nett make promises to each other. Claire's promise to Nett is that she will remember to water her pencil.
