Vanessa

Vanessa was a Claymore no 12 and very close friend to Victoria. Vanessa appeared to have been a caring person who was curious and a person who would get things done without a thought as to the consequences. She tried to look beautiful and presentable to others, even her enemies, braiding her hair into three ponytails. She apparently liked to collect bird feathers for fun, was intrigued by the moon, and was very devoted to perfect her technique, shadow slicer, to cut faster than her shadow appeared to move. Her fate remains unknown but it can be assumed she is dead. Vanessa has many parallels to Vanity in both their liking of bird feathers, technique, interest in beauty, and the fact that she wants to hide her face to everyone but Victoria.

Vanessa met Victoria while training late at night, trying to swing faster than her shadow. When Victoria struck up a conversation but said she couldn't leave the building, Vanessa jumped up to talk, becoming close friends quickly. Victoria and Vanessa had regular meetings where Vanessa would tell her about the outside world and her missions. Eventually, Victoria gathered up the courage to tell Vanessa that she was an anti-warrior whose purpose was to kill rebellious warriors but Vanessa still continued their relationship. anessa and Victoria helped each other improve their techniques. After being promoted to being number 12 after the deaths of her hunting party companions, Vanessa vowed to escape the organization, not wanting to be part of their cruel life. She returns to staff to tell Victoria to mutiny with her, saying the only reason she returned was for Victoria and if they really needed to, they could awaken to escape. She went on one last mission, deciding to meet with Victoria on the next full moon to give Victoria one last chance to escape.

It can be assumed that Victoria took this chance to escape in what would later be called "The victoria moon incident", in which, many warriors and handlers perished.
