Klara is a rival appearing in Sword - The Isle of Armor Expansion Pass. She only appears in Pokémon Sword, and her Pokémon Shield counterpart is Avery. She specializes in Poison types.
Appearance[]
Klara is a slender young woman with fair skin, blue eyes, and pink hair. She also wears pink lipstick and eye shadow and has a mole under her mouth. She wears a wild, unique outfit with many accessories, including a white fur coat, a white and blue moth-like bow with pink circles on it, and a dark purple and green uniform. Her uniform consists of a multicolored collared shirt and dark blue shorts with the number 881 on them. Both her shirt and shorts also have quite a few designs and unique prints on them. For accessories, Klara wears a white bracelet on her left wrist, a Dynamax band on her right wrist, a thumbless purple and black glove on her right hand, and a white ring on her left hand. On her feet, she wears pink and white shoes with blue heels and knee-length stockings that have the same colors as her clothes.
Personality[]
Klara adores popularity and will put on a cutesy act just to win bystanders' attention. However, beneath her smiling face is a calculating mind that she will put to good use. Klara will not be afraid to use any underhanded tactics to ensure a victory, as seen during her last battle where she sabotaged the battlefield by deploying Toxic Spikes. This led to her downfall where Mustard, who already knew about Klara's cheating, sentenced Klara to care for the Dojo's Pokémon for six months.
Biography[]
Klara was a pop singer before becoming a Pokémon Trainer, though she was unsuccessful in promoting herself beyond selling eight copies of her first album. To become more popular, she decided she would try to become a Gym Leader, however she gave up after attempting for two days. She soon discovered the Master Dojo from a television program, and decided to try it out, thinking she wouldn't have to put in much effort in order to get stronger there.
League Card entries[]
Regular League Card[]
Klara was originally an underground pop singer. She promoted herself as a star that had both cuteness and the virulence of poison. She energetically held live concerts and other events, even selling some Klara-themed collectibles that she made herself, but in spite of everything, she only managed to sell eight copies of her debut album "Krazy for Klara." She decided becoming a Gym Leader would help her gain more popularity and has been working toward that goal since. She chose the Poison type because it matched her image and there was less competition.
Rare League Card[]
The training at the Poison-type Gym was a lot harsher than Klara was ready for, and she gave up after two days. It was during this time she saw an ad for the Master Dojo during a late-night TV show. The master seemed kind, and Klara thought it would help her become strong without having to try too hard, so she immediately called in to apply. Normally, Klara's sole focus is to be doted on by others, so she puts only the bare minimum into her training, but recently a new student at the dojo has caused a change of attitude. She now works secretly with her Slowbro to better herself.

Trivia[]
- She shares similarities with Shinobu Kocho from Demon Slayer:
- Both wear insect-themed hair ornaments in their hair (a white and pink Dustox-like ribbon for Klara and a white and purple butterfly clip for Shinobu),
- Both put on cheerful exteriors that hide their true nature (a calculating mind for Klara and hidden anger for Shinobu),
- And both have a specialty in poison (medical expertise for Shinobu and Klara's preferred type).
- Klara's uniform number, 881, can be read as "yabai" ("dangerous" in Japanese).
- Klara and Kurara both come from 苦参 (kurara, the Japanese name for the shrubby sophora, a plant with toxic roots).
- Klara, alongside Avery, is the first rival character to be exclusive to a game version.
