There's a place I go inside myself

CLARA HAS NOT HAD AN EASY LIFE. SHE WAS ORPHANED WHEN BOTH OF HER PARENTS DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHEN SHE WAS EIGHT. AFTER THAT SHE WAS BOUNCED FROM ONE FOSTER HOME TO ANOTHER UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT WAS THEN THAT BOTH OF HER FOSTER PARENTS WERE MURDERED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. CLARA HERSELF WAS ATTACKED, AS WELL. SHE HASN'T SPOKEN A WORD SINCE WAKING UP IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER THE ATTACK. SHE'S REFUSED TO TALK TO ANYONE AT ALL. MOSTLY, SHE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME STARING OFF INTO SPACE OR WANDERING ON HER OWN. SHE'S NEVER WITHOUT THE TEDDY BEAR THAT ONE OF THE DETECTIVES WORKING ON HER CASE GAVE HER WHEN SHE WAS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. IT'S HER ONLY FRIEND RIGHT NOW. SHE'S CONSIDERED A TIER 3 PATIENT. SHE HAS PTSD AND GENERAL ANXIETY. SHE'S NOT A DANGER TO HERSELF OR OTHERS, AS FAR AS ANYONE KNOWS RIGHT NOW BUT SHE'S SO WITHDRAWN, TIMID AND ANXIOUS THAT HER DOCTORS ARE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON HER AND WORKING CLOSELY WITH HER TO SEE IF THEY CAN BREAK THROUGH TO HER.

CLARA DOESN'T TRUST ANYONE ANYMORE. SHE'S VERY PARANOID AND REFUSES TO SPEAK AT ALL. ANYONE THAT WANTED TO BE HER FRIEND WOULD HAVE TO BE TREMENDOUSLY PATIENT WITH HER. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER EVENTUALLY OPEN UP TO SOMEONE BUT SHE WOULD HAVE TO GET TO KNOW THEM FIRST.

SHE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY LOVERS SINCE SHE'S ONLY TWELVE BUT I'M OPEN TO OTHER KINDS OF RELATIONSHIPS THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE. ANY PLOT IDEAS YOU MIGHT HAVE AT ALL, RUN THEM BY ME!

SHE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE A LOT OF ENEMIES BUT I'M SURE THERE WOULD BE PEOPLE THAT WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND HER AND HER ISSUES. THERE COULD BE SOME THAT MIGHT NOT BE TOO NICE TO HER, GIVEN THAT SHE DOESN'T SPEAK OR REALLY PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO ANYONE.
