>Grow up in a clan of dragon trainers>Be indoctrinated into the traditions, high expectations for you>No matter how good you get, everyone compares you to your cousin because he's better, belittling your growth and achievements in the process>Run the Gym, which is filled with other trainers who are moderately strong dragon users>One day some preteen wonderkid wanders in and wipes the whole Gym, a thing that flies in the face of the reputation you've built>Unable to handle being reduced to beneath a child, you make a bad call and insist that because you're from the dragon clan that you're supposed to be proud of, you can't acknowledge them being better than you>When you're rightfully called out for your unprofessional behavior while your ideals crash down around you, your clan elders threaten to tell your cousin that you can never live up to about your misdeedBeing Clair is fucking suffering, and it's her family's fault.
