Cleo Amino (or Claire in the Japanese version) is your assistant for Monster Rancher DS, replacing Lulu. Though her father refers to her as Cleopatra (her full name), she greatly prefers Cleo because it's "cuter," and because it is yet another way to defy Mr. Amino, whom she is estranged from. You meet her at the beginning of the game when she is being chased by one of her father's assistants.
She offers to show you to the BOMBA front office (inMonster Rancher DS she races in while you are being interviewed), and there Elektra suggests that she be your breeder's assistant. As young as she is, Cleo certainly attracts the attention of a lot of boy Breeders throughout the game, including Errick and Ross, and although she has a pure-hearted personality she does tend to ramble on a bit. During the process of unlocking Zan, she shows mild cowardice, becoming extremely nervous and at one point begging your monster to defend her.
Cleo will give you many useful tips throughout the game. At the start of every week, she will inform you of your monster's Stress and Fatigue levels, and will also inform you before a tournament if your monster is somewhat stressed or tired.
A nod to Cleo's character later appears as a C-2 Class tournament opponent in My Monster Rancher, although because of the very basic character design she does not look the same. She has a 49% win rate and a Rank of 16.
