Welcome to a new edition of Ocean Oracle! In this edition, we are interviewing one of our dear leaders, Claire! Claire joined the Vikings in September of 2020, recruited by Hydro! Let’s first go over a little bit of information on Claire before we get to the interview!

Recent Beach Brawl battle with the Winged Hussars, led by Claire
She has been with us since then, even making her way to being one of the army leaders, becoming one in July 2023! With such position, she led many events like the two pictured above! I took to her DMs and asked her many questions! Here they are below!
Could you tell me about your Army History?
Claire: Get your seats cause it’s a long story! I got recruited in 2020 by Hydro in the CPRewritten server, and after joining I thought that the community was pretty cool straight away, it was the golden CPPS era of WV, maxing 30+ every event and it was an amazing time.
I ranked up quickly until I got what would be Staff In Training today (the rank was called Trainee) and I stayed there for a good while since I didn’t have the time and didn’t understand what Club Penguin Armies actually meant, because although I played the original Club Penguin for years in my childhood, I never knew about the army community. After some months, I started pitching in more and also ranked up quickly from there, was a good recruiter and a good welcomer, soon I got HCOM and ranked up to 2ic. By this time I was already really involved in WV, leading events, doing what a mod needed to do and all this stuff and that lead me to being a leader after 3 years of service.
In July of 2023 I got promoted to Commander and since then I’ve been doing my best for the Water Vikings, I’ve lead with Mabel, Dino, Cabin, JoJoTeri, Mei and I’m currently leading with RyeBread. I’m not much aware of armies history specially because I’m from the CPPS era, but I’ve been joining more in the army community since I’ve became a leader and that lead me to doing much more than before.
I don’t know how long I’ll stay because you can’t predict the future, but I can say for sure that I wanna stay as long as possible, WV is a family for me and that’s why I never joined another army or even took a break in those 4 years, I’ve been loyal since forever to this army and I want to achieve great things cause I’ve seen it and I’m more than sure we can do it now.
What is your favorite game to play on Club Penguin?
Claire: That’s a difficult question because I have a lot of good memories with all the original Club Penguin games. I could say my favorite ones were Aqua Gabber at the Iceberg, Dance Contest at the Night Club and maybe even Ice Fishing. What I really loved tho was the EPF themed missions, the ones that had an event in the whole island and stuff, that was my thing!
What are your hobbies outside of CPA?
Claire: I have some actually! In general I’m a really artistic person, I dance, sing, write, draw, paint, play acoustic guitar and some other stuff. I’ve done much things from swimming to playing American Football, from cheerleading to taking singing lessons but I’m currently dancing ballet for some time now.
What are some of your favorite moments that have happened this year?
Claire: That is a difficult question as well, LOL! I think I don’t have big favorite events that happened this year, but I do love the small and tender moments I keep deep in my heart, our own community stuff, even the memes in WV or just fun events, you know what I mean? The Starboarders and Scrapbook really go through my favorite stuff in the army because this sense of home and family is always my goal and it’s what I feel around here.
What do you want to accomplish in WV by the end of the year?
Claire: I want us to be major again, rebuild the army and make it as great as I see it. The leadership is working hard for that to happen and I’m sure we will accomplish this goal. I need to say tho that my main goal has always been making WV a family and safe haven, have everyone to be listened and feel cared about and i want to increase that sense in people.
What’s your favorite TV show/movie right now?
Claire: I’ve just started watching The Witcher and I’ve been liking it a lot, I got a bit demotivated after getting to know that the main actor which is Henry Cavil will leave his role in the show to Liam Hemsworth and I don’t the idea at all. I think I’ll still watch it at least until he leaves the show and then we’ll see what comes forward LOL
As one can see, Claire is one of many interests and hobbies! She does a lot in her free time while being one of the army leaders! Thank you for reading this edition of Ocean Oracle! With love and peace, I’m signing off!
