Claire François

 is one of the main characters in "I'm in Love with the Villainess".

Appearance
Claire wears the finest clothing even down to what she sleeps in. She's described to have clear, porcelain skin with fine texture. She may not be tall but has long slender arms and legs. Her eyes are almond shaped and usually fierce. Claire's hair is naturally straight and her trademark curls have to be fixed every morning.

Personality
Claire is prideful with a competitive side to prove her worth as well as her family name. Her threatening behaviour conceals her fragile heart that comes from her childhood experiences. Becomes more prone to jealously as people she cares for may leave her. Her arrogant personality is mainly influenced by her father doting on her in her childhood more than anything.

She is motivated by tradition just as much as pride which causes her much dismay as Rei pursues her and, in Claire's mind, disrupts public morals.

Background
 is the former romantic antagonist, the "Villainess", of the otome game Revolution and is currently the main target of Rei's affections.

Outside of the princes, Claire is considered to be the top of all internal students at the Royal Academy. Considered an angel growing up, she also received special education from top tutors. Driven by her competitive instincts, she often studies and trains for some part of the day.

The François family is the foremost noble house just below the Prime Minister and Royalty. For generations, they worked at the top of the Ministry of Finance. Positions like these are inherited through blood lines and some lateral movement include personal connections and marriage.
