Clarice di Lanza

**Clarice di Lanza** is a playable character in the *Arcana Heart* series. She is a demoness in human disguise, who once nearly killed Elsa, who is now immortal thanks to the contract with the Arcana of Punishment, Koshmar. She is a member of the Celestial Union's European branch.

Her Arcana is **Sorwat'**, the Arcana of Sin.

## Appearance

Clarice is a brown-haired human-looking woman who appears to be reaching physical age of between 30 and 40, dressed in a purple Rosenberg nun outfit. She also has dark purple wings spouting from her back.

She normally appears with her eyes closed. When her eyes are open, they are revealed to be red and demonic-looking. Her nails also grow longer when she opens her eyes.

## Personality

Generally, Clarice tends to be playful and upbeat, and doesn't often take things seriously. She can be petty and childish at points, which usually leads to Elsa or Petra keeping her in check when she ends up annoying someone, but she generally means well.

Clarice is cold-blooded with some people, especially with people that Elsa get much too comfy with. But, she also acts nice with people like Elsa principally, Petra, Yoriko, Weiss and Dorothy from time to time.

She doesn't like Maori because of her being a shrine maiden who normally seal demons. She is also somewhat jealous of Maori's friendship with Elsa, leading her to get overprotective.

She considered herself being Petra's big sister and knows the secret of Planar Descension, information that Fiona Mayfield really want to obtain, and with that, she normally makes her cry for it.

Implying that she's old upsets her a lot.
