Jlaire

Jlaire is the het ship between Jim Lake Jr. and Claire Nuñez from the Tales of Arcadia fandom.

Part 1
At first, Jim merely crushed on Claire from afar and she tolerated him at best, until he attempted to woo her with quickly learned Spanish and she invited him to audition for the school play, Romeo and Juliet. Although he didn't actually want to act, he auditioned to convince Strickler that the armor was for the play. However, due to his tardiness and absence from several rehearsals, their relationship begins to turn sour. After a last minute attempt to win back her trust, he agrees to babysit her little brother, Enrique, who is actually a changling, who they dubbed as NotEnrique. After causing a mess in her house, she says she hopes to never see him again. Before he and Draal have their to-the-death rematch, he leaves her a letter, confessing all of his feelings and what has been going on with him. She forgives him, thinking it's metaphorical, but then grows suspicious and, after NotEnrique endangers her and she learns the truth, the two grow closer as she joins in on the adventures, and prepare to go to the Spring Fling together. They ultimately decide to skip the Fling, and instead dance near a cliff overlooking the city, almost kissing.

Part 2
During part two, Claire is determined to rescue Jim from the Darklands after he saved Enrique first. After everyone manages to get him back, Claire hugs him saying that she miss him and they both share a kiss. After an unconventional barbecue at her parents' house, Claire finally calls Jim her boyfriend and says that she does not care that her parents disapprove of it, officially becoming a couple. When Gummar took over Heartstone Troll Market, Jim and Claire work to evacuate as many trolls as possible in which led to Claire using the full might of her Shadow Staff. Even though Claire was exhausted from over doing it and Jim and saw the staff hurting her as she did so, he was glad to see that Claire is alive and will recover with rest. While the two of them are unaware of the danger that is coming, by using Claire as a puppet for her plans to kill Jim.

Part 3
After the escape from Troll Market, and during the first part of part three, Jim would see that Claire's health still hasn't fully recovered from the event and didn't want her to use the staff again or take part in Trollhunting until her cold is gone. Even though her mother's campaign signs did give the two and their friends away to keep the town safe from Gumm-Gumm attacks. When a punk rock boy appeared at their school and would see that Claire is smitten with him, Jim grew jealous and tries to keep them apart, but Claire uses Jim's advice about balancing her life by signing for Battle for the Bands with their girl friends. After the two took down normal criminals, Jim and Claire left that they might have a future in crime fighting after they defeat Gummar for good. With Claire's cold getting worse and paying Doctor Lake a visiting didn't help, Claire decides to take her friends' advice to get some rest. Jim is glad that Claire taking care of herself and that she has missed out the weird day they just had at school. Even though Claire is feeling better after her day of rest, NotEnrique would tell that there is something odd about her of late and that it wasn't a good idea for Claire to go on a date with Jim.

Before Claire would stop it, she gets possessed by Morgana who wishes to kill Jim for being Merin's current champion. Once Jim realised this, he calls in his friends in hopes that they'll be able to save Claire from her.
