Claudiah R. Dryfe

**Claudiah Reinhard Dryfe** is the princess of the Dryfe Imperium. Secretly, she is also the Imperator of the Dryfe Imperium, masquerading as her deceased twin brother, **Reinhard C. Dryfe**.

## Appearance

Claudiah is a beautiful young woman with ringlet curled hair and a slender figure.

## Personality

Originally, Claudiah was extremely apathetic due to her incredible talent and abilities, behaving exactly like a machine and showing no emotion at all. After meeting Altimia A. Altar, she constructed the *Claudiah* personality, to fulfill the role of a normal girl to become close to her. As Claudiah, she appears to be very upbeat and cheerful.

## History

The daughter of the third prince of the Dryfe Imperium, Claudiah was born as a High End, an individual possessing superlative talents. At the age of 9, she and her brother, Reinhard were attacked by terrorists and her brother was killed. In order to maintain the political power of the third prince's faction which was in danger of disappearing because the only male heir was gone, the members of the Barbatos family decided to fake Reinhard's survival by telling everyone that he had survived but was bedridden with horrible injuries.

At this time, Claudiah, who had received minor injuries, began practicing the spear as a means of rehabilitation, and within a short period of time, became a master to the point that she received the Superior Job, The Ram, within 2 weeks of starting. Shortly after that, she met Altimia, who was going to study in the Dryfe Imperium. After feeling emotion for the first time in her life, she remodeled her personality into *Claudiah* in order to remain close with her while they attended the same school in Vandelheim.

At some point, the Imperator became suspicious of Reinhard's survival, so Claudiah constructed another personality based on her previous behavior, named *Reinhard*, disguised herself as her brother, presented herself to the Imperator and was able to successfully deceive them. From then on, she acted as two personalities in one body, with each handling different aspects of her life.

After the death of the previous Imperator and the civil war in Dryfe, *Reinhard* became the new Imperator.

### High End

Claudiah is a **High End** (才を持つ者), an extremely rare individual born possessing talent and aptitude far beyond the norm of normal tians.

This ability allowed her to deceive the Imperator and other people into believing that she was her brother, to the point that even Truth Discernment could not tell the difference as the personality themselves believe they are what modelled to be.
