'''Claycia''' is a character from ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''. She is a magical clay sculptor who built the realm of [[Seventopia]] and all the creatures within it. Nothing much is known about her, but she seems to be a friendly and happy artist who likes sculpting things with her friend, [[Elline]]. She also loves colors.<ref>"''Claycia stole all the colors! She's a very talented artist, and she loves colors.''" — [[Elline]]'s [[Secret Diary]]</ref> In ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'', she mysteriously turns cold and evil, and robs [[Popstar]] of its colors. It is later revealed that she was being possessed by the villainous [[Dark Crafter]], and Kirby helps to rid her of this menace.

[[File:KatRC Secret Diary page 8.png|thumb|200px|Page 8 of the [[Secret Diary]], which describes Elline and Claycia's working relationship prior to the events of the game.]]

Claycia is a girl of indeterminate age who sports a fair complexion and locks of blue hair styled into long buns. She wears a heavy purple vest which balloons outward toward the bottom, covering her legs and only letting her shoes show. She also wears a purple beret, purple hair clips, and a long pink scarf which covers the lower part of her face. Her hands only just poke out of her vest, with white gloves covering them.

When Claycia is possessed by Dark Crafter, two [[Grab Hand]]s attach to her scarf, and her face is covered by a pair of thick sunglasses, both of which belong to the nebulous entity controlling her. This gives her the appearance of having two pairs of arms during her boss fight.

Not much is known about Claycia's personality apart from what little is seen in the game and the [[Secret Diary]]. In page 6 of that diary, [[Elline]] describes her flatly as "Totally Selfish", and says her job is "Making Shapes". Indeed, Claycia is a talented sculptor, as the diary also explains that she built all of [[Seventopia]]. Despite her love of colors, however, Claycia cannot paint anything without Elline's help, so the two cooperate to make the living clay worlds and the creatures that inhabit it. When Dark Crafter took possession of Claycia, she gained the ability to use colors by herself, though she stole these colors from other places, such as [[Popstar]].

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===

In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', Claycia cameos as a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]].

==In the ''Kirby'' novel series==

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Claycia appears in ''[[Kirby's Labyrinth Rescue!]]''. In this novel, Kirby meets [[Elline]] and finds out that Claycia got into an argument with her because Claycia was crabby and acted cold toward Elline, didn't reply to Elline when she tried to talk to her and yelled at her. After hearing this, Kirby and his friends go to Claycia's workshop to try and resolve the argument so they can be friends again. Kirby meets Claycia in her workshop and sees that she is in a bad mood because she wants to focus on her creative work. After Kirby tells Claycia that he wants to resolve the conflict between her and Elline, she gets confused and tells him that she didn't argue with her at all. She tells him that she cannot converse normally when she is focused on her art, and she needs to be selfish and cold to be a good artist. The group finds out that Claycia was in the middle of working on an art piece, but she lacks the inspiration to make it, and that's why she is moody and lashed at Elline. Kirby offers Claycia to help her create the art piece, so she could make up with Elline. Claycia refuses the offer, but Kirby does not listen to her and breaks into her workshop. Kirby and [[King Dedede]] start making art pieces with Claycia's materials, much to her dismay, but after looking at their terrible art she gets a flash of inspiration by finding her purpose, beautifying the world, and finishes her work. When she returns, her attitude completely changes from cold to friendly. It is revealed that she made the art as a birthday present for Elline, and from the stress of creating the best art she was acting cold, but she didn't mean to anger Elline. After Elline and Claycia make up, they bring the group a gift, magical drawing paper that makes Kirby [[Kirby Rocket|transform]], and the group parts ways.

Claycia is also briefly mentioned in ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess]]''. Her servant [[Spear Cotta Knight]] is a victim of [[Baron Gallic]]'s [[Malice Stone]], which brainwashes him to do the baron's bidding. When the spell is broken, Spear Cotta Knight quickly heads back to [[Seventopia]], exclaiming that he'll be scolded by Claycia if he's not back soon.
