Priscilla

The winged demon who killed Teresa, lost her memories, and became a child again.

Priscilla is the primary adversary of Clare and a unique figure in Claymore history. Originally assigned to lead an execution team against Teresa, she killed Teresa after her Yoki concealment failed to prevent defeat. Priscilla fully awakened into a winged, one-horned demonic humanoid form, destroying the rest of the execution team while ignoring Clare. Uniquely among Awakened Beings, she later reverts to human form and regresses into childhood, losing her memory entirely. She is attached to Raki due to the scent of Teresa he carries from his past exposure to Clare.

Lore & Background

Priscilla's power is extraordinary; she can fight without using Yoki at all, effectively concealing her presence from other sister warriors. Despite holding the ability to hide her Yoki, she was defeated by Teresa of the Faint Smile during an execution team mission against Teresa. In desperation, Priscilla began releasing her Yoki and eventually killed Teresa. Afterward, she fully awakened into a winged, one-horned demonic humanoid form. She destroyed the execution team but ignored Clare. Priscilla then flew to parts unknown. Eventually, she met and defeated Isley and Rigaldo. Following these victories, she reverted to human form and regressed into childhood, losing all memory of her past deeds. Isley swore allegiance to her, promising to take her south.
