Jennifer likely followed them, peered through the keyhole, and saw Clara shirtless in Hoffman's office while her lower body was covered by a bedsheet. During "The Mermaid Chapter", it can be interpreted that during one night at the orphanage, child Jennifer saw Hoffman leading Clara to his office (which doubles as a bedroom). Most of the events in the game are from young Jennifer's point of view, where she probably didn't understand the things Hoffman may have done to the girls at the orphanage and because of this, she probably interpreted Clara in the appearance of a mermaid. In her unused audio, she mentions at one point that something is hurting her. Clara is surrounded by implications of pregnancy and abortion, which may also explain her movements. She is only ever really seen walking when she is following Hoffman, so it is unclear if her movement is due to her fear of him, or if it indicates some kind of pain she might be experiencing. After Clara does this, Hoffman's voice can be heard saying, "Mmhmm.", as if he is agreeing with Clara.Ĭlara is seen shuffling her feet when she walks. This is possibly where some evidence to a sexual relationship between her and Hoffman lies, likely condoms, as birth control pills did not exist at the time. In "The Clover Field" if Jennifer should open the drawers in the Sick Bay of the Airship, Clara will rush to Jennifer stop her, shouting "Don't look in there!" There is also unused audio of Clara saying this with a nervous stutter. There are implications that Hoffman began to take a sexual interest in Clara, much against her will, and that Clara was too frightened to tell anyone or stop him. It is also possible Clara killed herself in suicide, although one could hope she lived a happier life away from the orphanage.Ĭlara stopping Jennifer from opening the drawer. It is unlikely Clara was present during the orphanage massacre as she already left and Jennifer does not mention Clara returned, but were she present, she may have been murdered by Gregory M. It is possible Clara was secretly murdered by the Aristocrats for refusing to join. It is unlikely she would have been able to mentally or emotionally cope with looking after the children while Hoffman and Martha were gone.Ĭlara's fate is ambiguous. It is also possible she ran away with Hoffman. It is possible she ran away from the orphanage after Hoffman and Martha were gone, possibly because it was too painful for her to stay.
In November, Hoffman left the orphanage, stating "Clara's here to look after things." Clara mysteriously disappeared shortly after Hoffman and Martha Carol, leaving the orphans all alone without any adult supervision. Clara is perceived as a nurse-like character, as she tended to the orphans' wounds when they were hurt and took care of them when they were sick.

Hoffman took this into full consideration, reflecting in his diary at how he has watched his "little Clara" grow, suggesting that Clara had been living at the orphanage since her early childhood. It seemed that she spent quite a number of years at the orphanage, and by the time Jennifer arrived, she began to assist Hoffman in his work, and at one point, even asked him for a permanent position. She was a quiet and lonely girl, dubbed "The Frightened Princess." She seemed oblivious to the antics of the other children and did not attend Aristocrat Club meetings or take part in their cruel hazings and punishments.
Diana may be another of Hoffman's victims.īorn in the year 1914, Clara was around 15-16 years old by the time Jennifer had arrived at the orphanage. There are also implications that Clara may have had an abortion, possibly via a C-section. There is evidence she suffers from low self-esteem and poor mental health. Clara displays body language that evokes feelings of fear, shame and discomfort whenever Jennifer encounters her. It is strongly implied that Clara was raped or sexually abused by Hoffman over a long period of time, but this has never been confirmed. Although she is technically a minor, she is not one of the participants in the Red Crayon Aristocrat Club, and it seems she is unaware of its existence, or perhaps views it as an innocuous club for children having fun. Clara has little screentime, likely because child Jennifer did not know her very well.Ĭlara is a quiet girl who is a resident of the Rose Garden Orphanage. Clara, first meeting Jennifer.Ĭlara is a character of Rule of Rose and a nightmarish form of her, the Mermaid Princess, is one of the bosses of the game.
