Clara Dorr

Clara is the wife of Dorr, the Governor-General of Palmacosta and the mother of their only daughter Kilia. Clara was transformed into a monster by Magnius a few years prior to the beginning of Tales of Symphonia, due to Dorr's father's resistance towards the Desians. Since then, Dorr had been aspiring to cure his wife so badly that he eventually decided to cooperate with the Desians following the death of his father. Clara first appeared as a monster when Lloyd's group confronted Dorr for his sins of collaborating with the Desians. After a series of events, Dorr was slained by the fake Kilia, who was actually a minion of Pronyma's disguising as Dorr's daughter. The group managed to kill Kilia, but she released Clara from the basement prison before taking her last breath. Clara then rushed out of the dungeon and unconsciously wandered all over the continent.

Later in the game Clara could be encountered in several occasions, while most of them time Lloyd's group would have to save her from a bunch of adventurers who vowed to kill a ferocious monster. In a sidequest it was possible for Raine to cure Clara with her newly gained powerful healing spell. Clara thanked the Lloyd and friends for rescuing her, and slowly returned to Palmacosta afterwards.

In the sequel Clara was seen as the new leader of Palmacosta when Emil and Marta visited the port city for the first time in the game. It was possible that Clara led the reconstruction of Palmacosta after it was previous destroyed by the great tree going out of control. Because of this, it was highly likely that Neil, the original successor of Governor-General Dorr, lost his life in that catastrophe.
