𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄 ⋅∘⋅ *Dark, well-worn leathers; lavish trailing coats with large tufts of snowy fur; handsome boots of fur whale leather, typically lined in fur;
𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓(𝐒) ⋅∘⋅ Something like fresh cut pine, sweet fireside heat, oakmoss, spiced honey, woodsmoked figs, olibanum, and black amber.
𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 ⋅∘⋅ Anywhere inside his own "courtyard" within the palace of Tyrnas Eira, reading or lasing and listening to Valacar sing about the Glace; the main palace sparring with Ingold or Imre or whoever happens to be around, perusing the archives or attending political lessons with his father- or worse, a council gathering (wherein his coterie of "nursemaids" are banned). Or else, he's up north war-making.
𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 ⋅∘⋅ Largely, his retinue. Mostly Irek, Imre, Valacar, and Ingold, however. Otherwise, he visits his poorly father often- in a desire to comfort him as well as continue to take lessons on politics from him.

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐓 ⋅∘⋅ Generous
𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 ⋅∘⋅ Claramond feels a brutal desire to save those that need him- evidenced most by the people he keeps closest to him. As such, he has made his people, these loyal subjects, on his generosity. However, a darkness exists in this as, once they become his retainer, Claramond feels a possessiveness towards them. While it isn't always bad- more often than not, he uses his princely powers to protect his people- it can sometimes cause a seemingly out-of-character outburst from him. He will not abide being left aside or ignored (an act of supreme disloyalty in his mind)- he'd sooner the person (traitor) not exist. Jealousy can very easily become him- something his oldest companions might already know. These darker feelings, he does try to hide as he's grown older just because he knows it's...an unsavoury thing to feel possessive of people. Yet, there may come a time when he simply loses himself. That said, for those he calls "friend", he would gladly give his life as easily as the shirt off of his back. He loves and becomes attached easily and enjoys teasing and playing. He can come off as boyish from time to time, but for the most part, Claramond is the image of a Crown Prince. Disciplined, forthright, and unassailably elegant.𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐌𝐒 ⋅∘⋅
𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ Battle, for the better part of recent weeks. Political studies with his father and weapons training with Naith and Valacar. He reads a fair amount of history (and the odd romance recommended to him by Bramble). Claramond also does a fair amount of wandering on his own within Tyrnas Eira. He hopes soon to occupy himself with searching out his mother's remains.𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐒 ⋅∘⋅
𝐀𝐁𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 ⋅∘⋅𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ At this point, Claramond's one true goal is to become King with the least amount of blood-shed possible. Secondarily, he desires to locate the remains of his mother and place them in an exalted (and secure) final resting place. And, finally, though he would be loathe to admit it to his retinue, he hopes to marry well (i.e. a trustworthy soul).
𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ He fears that his brother will force the Kingdom into a civil war over the Throne- something Claramond loses sleep over. He fears losing his father too soon- for he does feel slightly unprepared to face he monumental task of High King. [Claramond know's what Faramond calls his "curse" is not true, for Bramble still lives, but in the back of his mind- in the depths of his heart- he knows that, when he truly loves someone, they then become a target, and therefore, he could lose them forever. It could be argued that this fact Claramond fears above all else.]𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 ⋅∘⋅ There's the rumour started by his brother Faramond, and picked up by the Highborns of other lands, that- beginning with the inexplicable death of his mother and ending with the "death" of his young fiancée some years ago- Claramond is cursed to endure the death of anyone that dares come too close to him. And that any future bride of his is "as good as dead" due to this supposed curse.
Called the "Witch Prince" by Faramond as well as the Queen, it is alleged that Claramond's mother, Queen Ysbail, was actually a darkly-inclined witch who fed the King potions to make him fall in love with her. Stories of their own spinning, but because of this, many in their circle believe that Claramond must be a witch like his mother.
━ 𝑴 𝑨 𝑮 𝑰 𝑪 ━
𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 ⋅∘⋅ Claramond's delighted by magic and fully intends to lift the ban on its usage within Tyrnas Eira once he is King. While the rumour that his mother was a witch is meant to malign him, as a boy, it was a happy wish that he might possess a little magic of his own.
