Clairvaux

[EP7 character spoiling (without knowledge of the episode itself)]

Spoiling a little from EP7, the woman in the picture is apparently named Clairvaux of Bernardus (Claire Bernardus). She seems to be based on Van Dine's wife, Claire de Lisle, who happens to be a portrait painter (Umineko features a number of portraits...). Other influence is Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (see the switched names), a french abbot from the 11th century. It seems like a valid connection especially as a famous writer Dante included him in his epic Divine Comedy as Dante's last guide through the Empyrean, while Umineko has many connections to the play, not the least being Beatrice herself.

By the fans she's been nicknamed Mintrice, because her color theme is mainly white and mint, while sharing facial expressions with Beatrice.

Can't wait to get into EP7 when the english translation is released.
