Clarisse comes from serious alchemical pedigree—she's descended from the founder of Alchemy through his younger sister. Her parents, Promethia and Harold, passed down a family specialty in alchemic decomposition, something Clarisse actually got really good at. Like, better than the family head-level good. The irony is that she struggled with basic alchemy fundamentals and had a genuinely hard time studying in general. Her parents loved her, but they were strict and laser-focused on keeping the family tradition alive, which created real tension between them. She wanted more freedom than their rigid expectations allowed.
