As they met on the roof and Shuichi told her he wasn't a monster, she pushed him off. While falling, he transformed and then jumped back on the roof. She then started questioning him; what was he, and threatening she will reveal his secret. But Shuichi had no idea, and told her, he just transformed one day. On the way to her home, she introduced herself and showed him a coin she found, but Shuichi didn't know anything about it. In her apartment, she explained she was looking for her sister, who was a monster like him.

Power & Abilities
Clair has very little in the ways of fighting ability by herself. To do battle she relies on using Shuichi Kagaya's monster form by entering inside of him by opening the zipper in his back. While inside of him they "become one", able feel one other's feelings. She is able to take control of Shuichi's body as if it was her own and has overall more control over his body than he does while she is inside, although Shuichi can still wrestle for control to some extent.

When she and Shuichi become "one", they wield a katana as their weapon of choice.

After using a coin and becoming a monster, Clair gained the ability to manipulate her perception of time, which gives her greater speed and reaction time. While using her power, the world around her looks as if time has stooped.
