Wren StClaire

Wren's base sprite

Wren StClaire is a member of the Gifted Few with the ability to fly. She is forced to participate in the Game of the Gifted at Espera's Keep alongside her fellow students. Her family is one of the 74 Legacy families across the world.

## Appearance

Wren is slim and around average height, with cropped brown hair, deep skin, and dark brown eyes. She wears a band t-shirt over a striped, long-sleeved top and ripped denim jeans fastened with a red belt. She often customises her own clothes, adding various sew-on patches to her jeans, painting her high-top shoes and making her heart necklace from scratch.

## Personality

Wren is best known for her infectious optimism. She tries to see the best in even the most hopeless situations, acting as a rallying, supporting presence to those around her. Her bright, excitable personality makes her the life and soul of any conversation. She adapts well to social situations, winning her favour amongst almost everyone who meets her.

To those she's closest to, Wren is a fiercely loyal and dependable friend. She has a very keen sense of morality and a determination to stand up for what she believes in. When someone she cares for is in need, she will stand by them no matter what, whether that means solving their problem, or simply being there to listen.

Her sense of morality extends to broader political and current affairs. Her experiences with prejudice as a child left her with the desire to use her influence to make a difference. She involves herself with activism and charity work wherever she can, promoting causes and spreading awareness of the issues closest to her heart.

## History

### Early Life

Growing up in a Legacy family, Wren had a very comfortable childhood. She had a very close relationship with her parents; particularly with her mother, whose clairvoyance would occasionally allow her visions of her daughter's future. Most of Wren's fondest childhood memories are of holidays with her parents or times spent helping with chores around the house.

As she grew older, she became more exposed to the strict and elitist Legacy culture. She often attended formal dinners, dances, and other social events reserved for Legacies and their close acquaintances, something Wren never felt entirely comfortable with. The relatively short history of the StClaires compared to other dynasties led to an underlying sense of scorn directed towards Wren and her family.

### The Prequels

Wren is helping her mother cook dinner when the summons to the Keep arrives. Her family is already expecting this, as her mother had seen it in a vision some weeks before. Despite this, she worries that the letter will not come or, if it does, that she won't be seen as 'good enough' for the Gifted Few. She then reflects on her experience in the world of the Legacies, recounting how her family was often seen as lesser than other Legacies. Her family reassures her that she is more than worthy of her summons, just as the letter arrives.

### Game of the Gifted

#### Prologue

Wren is the final member of the initial investigation group, meeting Kahia Rothewell, Cora Valen and Gabriel Elwyn in the corridor when she accidentally flies into Gabriel, knocking him down.

As the group moves downstairs, Wren is eager to introduce herself to the newcomers, Lyssa Masterson, Malachi Linden and Ambrose Delaney. Despite Lyssa and Ambrose's quick exit, Wren is still keen to find the rest of their classmates. She leaves with the others out onto the main grounds, where she remarks on how cold it is, unusual since it's supposed to be late June.

When the group encounters Silas Reid, Wren is initially wary of him. After he uses his gift on Kahia, she and Gabriel help her recover. She stays with Kahia and Malachi after Silas leaves, Cora and Gabriel following afterwards.

As Kahia and Malachi head to the rear grounds, Wren decides to fly around the perimeter of the forcefield to search for any breaks or weak points. Finding none, she re-joins Kahia and introduces herself to Jana Kess. Jana recognises the StClaires as a Legacy family, something which makes Wren feel awkward. As Kahia leaves to talk to Malachi and Julian Amato, Wren and Jana find out their families have met. This endears them to each other and they become firm friends.

After Kahia leaves for the kitchen, Wren is next seen entering the Great Hall with the rest of her group. She seems disturbed by the idea of a death game, but she tries to positive, supporting Ceres in her attempts to calm the group. She ends up joining a group with Jana and Malachi.
