Clay (Level 5) mail warning

Originally, Clay was part of a melee squad made with the intention of testing the viability of close-range combat against Raptures, given records of at least one Nikke capable of dominating the battlefield with her bare hands. The experiment was deemed a failure, and Clay along with some of her squad mates were sold to the Under Arena, an illegal Nikke fighting ring.

Given the alias of "Ruby," Clay struggled to acclimate to the rigors and conditions of the Under Arena, becoming infamous as the weakest, most useless fighter on the roster. Ironically, this same weakness was the key to Clay's survival. Everyone else from her squad was too good at fighting, and kept being sent into the ring. This resulted in excessive injuries requiring countless limb replacements, culminating in them succumbing to Mind Switch.

During what should have been Clay's last fight before being scrapped, something happened that changed her life forever. As she lay defeated on the mat, Bay was cheering for her to get up against the crowd's jeers. Somehow, Clay found the strength to stagger to her feet and keep fighting. At that moment, inspiration struck even harder than her opponent did. She wanted to become someone who could instill hope in others, who could push them to persevere against all odds. Just like Bay did for her that day...

With some help from Mustang, Clay managed to extricate herself from the Under Arena, and went on to apply for the cheer squad Rewind..
