The Kludde is a Belgian water spirit or goblin that attacks travelers during dawn and sunset. It usually appears as a great black dog with tiny, useless wings and horns that roamed on its hind legs. But it has two alternate forms, as a black, giant-sized cat or a large raven-like avian creature. In all forms, it is draped in long chains that drag upon the ground.

If you believe you are being followed by a kludde, it is useless to try and escape. The faster you go, the faster the kludde will follow. Sometimes it even takes to the trees in the manner of a large snake.

A kludde lures its prey by implanting feelings inside the mind of another, including the feeling of alienation from your clan or family, creating the illusion of blindness, conjuring reflections of your innermost, most secret desires and keeping up a hypnotic mumble that draws your mind away from thoughts of panic or escape.

When the kludde cannot find enough feckless travellers to hunt down and feed upon, it will eat any mammals, avians, and sometimes other supernatural beings. In the original Italian, it is sometimes called the "mangiatoire" because it eats others of the same 'species' as itself.

n.ame
Laura
Though Elixabeté doesn't realize this, Laura is the name of a ninth-century saint who was thrown into a vat of molten lead by the Muslims in Spain. It means "victory".

g.ender
female

s.pecies
kludde

p.ersonality
Laura is a relentless sort who won't stop until the goal is fulfilled. It doesn't matter when, it doesn't matter how, but she will achieve it exactly the way she wants it achieved and in the fastest manner possible. If the goal is proven impossible, she becomes despondent and will stop putting effort into anything at all- until she's seized by a new goal and a "breath of life" is breathed into her.

Her main trait is independence. Her mother can't get Laura to do something when she has other plans for the life of her. Laura can't abide being chained down and doesn't do too well in relationships because of it. She'd much rather be at home playing games than out with friends, especially if said games involve: a) sword and sorcery, b) controllers, or c) computers.

She is friendly, but possessive, and becomes jealous very easily when she feels her property, human or otherwise, is being infringed upon. Though she tends towards violence, sometimes she plays tiny but humiliating pranks on the object of her ire. It's not uncommon to find her guardian and grandfather wailing about the most recent indignity, since she learned early on not to argue with the grown-ups.

Of course, she sees pranking as perfectly all right. That's not arguing, it's silent retaliation! Completely different!

She is constantly talking, even during classes, and it often gets her in trouble. If Laura speaks quickly and softly enough, it merges into a mumble without specific words that sometimes can hypnotize people; usually, she does this on purpose but it can accidentally happen when she is embarrassed or afraid.

Laura is generally on good terms with her family. Sometimes, her rather forceful personality makes her mother shy away for a bit, but if Laura needed her, Lixxie would be there. And while Verdelet doesn't particularly like his granddaughter's outlook on life, he respects her unique view on life. Or something. Laura is not quite sure why he likes her, really.

l.ikes...
Well, this is really very simple. Laura is fond of water and tall grass; she likes dawn and dusk over day and night. She likes to play little tricks on people who are traveling alone. She likes to eat, especially sweet things with many layers. Her favorite colors are pink and purple.

...a.nd dislikes
Laura does not like being weighed down. She doesn't like people who try to get away from her. She does not like heights or full noon or midnight. She does not like the color yellow, or the color red. She also dislikes dairy products.

h.obbies
Laura enjoys reading comic books, writing, and playing on the computer. If none of those activities are viable, she generally can be found sleeping or creeping around sneakily.

p.owers

blind illusion- Depending upon your mental strength, Laura can make your mind decieve itself into believing that you are blind. This includes wailing, "Who turned out the lights?" at near-impossible decibel levels.

desirious conjurgation- Laura can conjure your greatest desire in a smaller form. This skill will not reach full strength until Youth stage, and at Sorcerer stage (if she gets there) she will be able to make it full-sized and real.

hypnotic mumble- She can draw you into a trance if she can keep up a murmur for a long enough time. The stronger your mind is, the longer she has to keep it up.

catch me if you can- Laura's ground speed adjusts to put her above the level of her "prey". This puts her at the advantage in Track and Field.

w.eakness

heart defect- Laura, due to an accident as a baby ghost, will be born with a hole between the right and left ventricles of the heart. Though it can be, and will be, partially repaired with surgical intervention, it will be sufficient to make her spend plenty of time in gym class- which would otherwise be her favorite class- sitting out.

independence- While her independance can be considered a good trait, it also hinders her from making many friends outside of her video games. It leads to disdain for people who cling to others, which in turn only harms her chances of friendship with them more.

chatterbox- Laura just can't shut up! Even when she knows it'd be best to shut the hell up, she'll manage to come out with some declaration to ruin whatever it is you're planning.

water- Wait, you may be saying. You said the kludde was a water spirit! Yes, I did. However, the combination of Laura's chains and her heart defect makes doing much more than wading impossible. She tends to be very bitter about the subject, too.

a.ppearance

Wand- Laura's wand is all wrapped with chains- rather resembling a medieval flail. It is rather shorter than most other wands, being about the length of a large flashlight. It is a dark blue, and the chains are brown near the ends.

Baby Ghost- A silver-ish ghost with a bit of red up near the head of it.

Beyond-
Laura shows the traits of the feline part of her kludde heritage. Her skin is a very dark brown, and her fingernails are rather claw-like. Her hair is pitch black and is very fine and thin; she can't do much of anything with it. Her eyes are a pale, watery blue that is hardly a color at all.

She has two tiny, bat-like wings between her shoulder blades; they are black, like the horns that emerge from the general areas of opposite sides of her forehead. A furry, feline tail in the same tone as her skin is another distinctive feature; she has cat-like ears and whiskers as well.

She has shackles around her wrists, neck and ankles. While they are broken off from their original chains, there is no sign that there ever was a lock on them. She does not know how to remove them, and they will never be removable.

Laura tends to wear skirts and tank tops due to the nature of her appearance; the wings prevent wearing hoodies, while the tail just about prevents the wearing of pants. Because of this, and her dislike for sun, she generally wears broad-brimmed hats or carries a parasol.
