Candice Claire (born Aisa Izarra) is a Delphi-based singer-songwriter, actress, and witch. She first rose to prominence as ROSE of the girl group Dream Girls, debuting under NCS Entertainment at age 14.[1] Outside of her music career, she made her acting debut at age 11 in the hit TV-series The Thirteenth Street, followed by a series of supporting roles until she landed a main role in the award-winning film Snowdrops on Siren's Cove, for which she received nomination for Best Actress.[2][3] Her most famous role was as young Minerva Crestwalker in the epic biopic Minerva, which swept that year’s Awards and won her Best Supporting Actress.[4]

After the disbandment of Dream Girls, Claire left NCS Entertainment and signed a new contract with Omni Records International, making her solo music debut at age 17 with the single album Heartstrings.[5] The album debuted at number 1 on Delphi Album Chart and eventually became the best-selling debut album by a female soloist of all time in Delphi.[2] Its lead single Dreamcatcher was a commercial success, peaking at number two on the Global 200 and becoming the second highest-charting song of any debut album of a female soloist.[6] Her second album and first full album A Little Wish was also a critical and commercial success, debuting at number 1 on Delphi Album Chart and becoming the fastest-ever album by a female soloist to sell over a million copies.[6] Its hit singles Reset and We All Fall in Love Sometimes debuted on the first and second spot on the Global 200 respectively, holding both spots jointly for a record fifteen weeks.[7]

Claire is one of a few female singers who have ever held a sold-out concert at Felicity Stadium multiple times: twice as ROSE of Dream Girls in 18 and Love Juice tours and once as herself in A Little Wish tour.[5] Despite her many documented relationship and public support for Cerberus Coven she herself is a member of a different, lesser-known coven.[8] She once claimed that she felt "unworthy" for such a prodigious coven as Cerberus due to her humble background, and that she is "content in her support of all the good things the coven is doing for Delphi."[9] Despite that, Claire placed third in Delphi Oracle’s list of “25 People You Thought Were Members Of Cerberus Coven But Weren’t”, citing her famous portrayal of young Minerva Crestwalker and her tendency to be cast as “traditionally feminine heroines of aristocratic upbringing with a strong sense of justice” in her camera roles as the reasons why a lot of people thought she is a Cerberus witch.[10] Claire is a noted advocate of social welfare and especially of orphan children, whose plight she often drew attention to.[11]

Early Life
[break][break]
Candice Claire was born in The Vale as Aisa to a family of uncertain origins.[12] By her own recollections, her father left her and her mother when she was around five years old and her mother dropped her at the front door of a state-run orphanage on her seventh birthday. She confessed that she could not recall her birth parents’ faces or names, though she remembered that she “loved her father but feared her mother” and that her mother was “constantly drunk”.[9] Her surname Izarra was allegedly invented by the orphanage’s director for the sake of paperwork.[citation needed]
[break][break]
Claire/Izarra spent most of her childhood bouncing from one orphanage to the next as The Vale tumultuous situation meant that stable donations were hard to come. Many orphanages were forced to shut down as the economic and societal crisis continued.[12] She once remarked that she remembered having to change adoptive families three times in two weeks, with “well-meaning” people forced to abandon their adoption plans as they suddenly found themselves out of work in the volatile climate.[9] Unverified [citation needed] reports stated that many orphans at state-run orphanages in The Vale were abused or forced to fend for themselves on the streets.[13][14]
[break][break]
At age 10 when she was play-acting with other orphans on the streets of The Vale as part of their begging act she was spotted by [who?] who brought her to Delphi, after requesting and being granted permission to do so by her orphanage.[citation needed]. Later that year [who?] arranged for her audition for the TV-series The Thirteenth Street as Candice Claire, landing her first acting role and debut at the age of 11.[2] Her name and witch certification would be legally changed to Candice Claire later. Of her first acting role, she once confessed that....

Dear Book,[break]
Mommy tell me to write on you. I want to know Daddy. Can you tell me where he is.
[break][break]
Dear Book,[break]
Why do you not answer me?
[break][break]
Dear Book,[break]
Please Answer.
[break][break]
Dear Book,[break]
Why does Mommy keep hitting me? I have been a good girl all day. I am scared. Please help me.
[break][break]
Dear Book,[break]
Before Mommy started snoring on the carpet Mommy said that I was the reason that Daddy left. Was it really true? Have I been a bad girl when I was with Daddy? I cried all the time so maybe it made Daddy upset and leave? I will never cry again. I promise. I promise I promise I promise.
[break][break]
Dear Diary,[break]
Mommy left me. Now I will stay in this dirty building forever. The scary man called Director told me so this afternoon.[break]
But Henrietta beside me is so kind. She lent me her pencil so I can write on you. I was told that we should be asleep when the lights turned off so I cannot write on you for so long.[break]
I hope you will never leave me like Mommy did. And Daddy, too.[break]
…Am I a really bad girl?
[break][break]
Dear Diary,[break]
Director kept calling me into his room time and time again. Why does he like touching me so much in so many places? It is strange. And it feels ticklish too. I don’t like it, but if I don’t come when he calls I will not get any meal tomorrow.
[break][break]
Dear Diary,[break]
Henrietta is gone. A “Family” took her. She broke our promise.[break]
I hate her. Hate her hate her hate her hate her hate her hate her. [break]
I HATE HENRIETTA!
[break][break]
Dear Diary,[break]
I am sorry I haven’t been able to write on you for years. It has been some terrible days. Sometimes I am not sure if I would have survived until tomorrow. Winter in The Vale is very cold.[break]
I last wrote on you when we were in First Orphanage. After that we have been to so many buildings together. Do you remember when we have to change our names three times in two weeks? It feels so long ago and so far away.[break]
Now, I am in Delphi, and it is very different from The Vale! I have my own room and people are kind to me. I can have meals three times a day and there are “snacks” which we can eat outside of meal time! I am very happy![break]
I am not sure why they like me so much just to move and speak in front of cameras. Oh cameras! They are really big! And we have many people taking turns to move and speak in front of them. Director here is very different from Directors in The Vale. He laughs a lot and often say that I am a “natural.” I am not sure why being “natural” is good but it make everyone happy. So I think it is a good thing?[break]
Oh yes, I am sorry I broke our promise of never crying again. The Director told I have to cry and I didn’t want him to be angry with me like the bad Director. So I started to cry and everyone liked me for it! It is amazing! I think if Daddy was from here, he would not have left just because I cried so much. He and Mommy would be happy instead![break]
But it is strange. I can cry and laugh and all anytime I wanted. But why does it feel… weird? I knew I did not feel I want to cry but I had to. And it was the same with laughing and being panicked. Isn’t this lying? Lying is bad, right?[break]
But I don’t care. As long as I can stay here I will lie wherever and whenever. I don’t care.[break]
Actually… now you remind me. What does crying actually feel like? Or laughing? I am trying to remember but I have no idea.[break]
Maybe I’ll remember later. Now I want to sleep.[break]
See you again, Diary.
[break][break]
Dear Diary,[break]
Hydra. Hydra is my actual family’s name.[break]
It all makes sense now. This is why bad Director and all the Sisters seemed so angry when they called me Izarra. This is why Claire sounded so fake. It is because they are false names. I am actually a Hydra. Hydra was the one who brought me to Delphi. Hydra was the one who put me in front of these cameras. It was all for my actual family. Not Daddy. Not Mommy. Not good Director. Hydra is my true family.[break]
I was told that Hydra needed me, which was why they brought me to Delphi. That everything that I was told to do would be for the benefit of Hydra, even if I couldn’t see it at first. I believe that. Writing here where just three hours ago thousands of people were screaming my name and my friends’ names…. Would you be able to imagine being here when we had to sleep on the streets of The Vale? No you wouldn’t. And I wouldn’t too, if not for Hydra. We owe everything to Hydra.[break]
Contra mundum. Coniunctim.
[break][break]
Dear Diary,[break]
Everything is a lie, and I am the biggest liar of them all. I think only Hydra knows the truth -and act on it. The Cerberuses, they are too arrogant to see the truth. Pegasuses are too stupid. Sybarises- they won't care if the world burns as long as they got to grill their barbecues on the pyre. Truly reprehensible.

Dear Diary,[break]
What is love?[break]
I know what I have to do when the script says “with a lovely smile” or when it says “you declare your love” or “kiss like two people who are really in love.” I even wrote songs about love and people adore them so much. But what is love, exactly?[break]
This morning I was asked, “Have you ever fell in love with your co-stars?” I knew of course the correct answer -it was, “No! Unfortunately, no. But maybe I will, someday?” followed by a shy laugh- but then she continued that Timothy is the “heart-throb” of Delphi and an “object of love of countless girls.” Why? I don’t understand. I kissed him on the lips and we did intimate scenes together. But I didn’t feel anything inside -outside was, of course, different. You know this. It was the same with other guys. A friend said that I might not be “attracted” to guys but it was also the same with girls. What is “attraction”? Is it the same with “love”? I cannot understand it at all.[break]
Perhaps I’ll follow my manager after all. He said that if I “love” everyone and especially all of my fans and shower them with “love” then I will be able to attain “love” too, one day.[break]
Until then, I’ll just have to keep smiling, keep holding their hands, keep posing for photos with them, and keep asking my adoring fans like I really care about them. Yes. I can do that!
