Profile: Clara is a veteran of the stage, and she knows it. She’s got talent, she’s got attitude, and she’s got opinions. She’s been through bad scripts, worse co-stars, and now a post-apocalyptic film shoot with no budget. But despite it all, she wants the performance to mean something. She’s here for the art… even if it’s spiralling into madness.

Voice type: Professional, passionate, dramatic flair.

Vocal traits: Speaks with polish — rehearsed but sincere. Occasionally slips into exaggerated “actor voice,” especially when irritated or stressed.

Key notes:

• Needs to balance theatrical delivery with genuine emotion.

• Frustrated but not fragile — she’s tough and quick to call out nonsense.

• She plays herself and takes on the role of Captain Royce.

Line prompts:

1. [The courier fights their way through yao guai in a cavern to find Clara stranded on a rock. Rather than grateful, she’s livid. She was deep in character, "channeling helplessness," and the courier just ruined her scene.]
   
   previous line: n/a
   
   
2. [Clara is acting in a scene opposite the courier. They are both NCR soldiers, in an over the top action movie sequence. Line should be read over dramatized, like a budget B movie.]
   
   previous line: Courier - We set up a choke point. They’ll have to come through that door.
   
   
3. [The peace summit is falling apart. Tensions are sky-high. Clara jumps into the role of Captain Royce one last time — but this time, she’s not acting. She delivers an impassioned speech to calm the crowd and inspire unity, blending performance with real belief.]
   
   previous line: Clara Monroe - The Republic is willing to discuss the future of the Mojave… so long as order is maintained!
