|| HC - Hunting (Clorinde) ||

Before the increased influx of Melusine officials joining their ranks, the Marechaussee Phantom was largely established by humans united under the common goal of keeping Fontaine safe.

Many in Clorinde's family held ties to these special detective forces; specifically with tracking down wanted criminals. Given their longstanding cooperation, they have cemented themselves in its foundation history. Hence, it is not a stretch for someone like Clorinde to be seen as a successor to the Marechaussee Hunters of old.

From a young age, she inherited their teachings and techniques. Her skills in hunting, tracking and combat are honed through strict training regiments. What little of her down time is reserved for interacting with children her age, whose parents also happen to be working in investigation, community outreach or legal fields (eg: Navia).

Much of her training is focused on disarming and incapicitating others; On hunting. She knows exactly when, where and how to strike. She knows what it takes to outpace her opponents. She knows when to overwhelm them. She knows how to go in for the kill. She just chooses not to at every turn, as frequently as she can.

Clorinde doesn't hunt animals.

She hunts people.
