Voiced by: Yukari Tamura

Often called Clan, Clariossa Daora Forthorthe is the Second Princess of the Forthorthe Royal family.

Originally appearing as an enemy intending to get rid of Theia so as to make her fail her task, but after the events that took place in the past in Forthorthe with Koutarou (after Volume 7, with the story being explained in Volume 7.5 and 8.5), she becomes quite close with Koutarou and decides to rather make Koutarou her vassal, and starts to care less about the throne. From then on, rather than resorting to underhanded tactics, she decides to fight Theia fair and square for the rights to Throne, while in reality caring much more about simply having and making Koutarou her vassal.

From then on, she sees Koutarou not as an enemy, but as a close friend who she does not wish to harm.
