In Claymore manga, chapter 45, The Witch's Maw, Part 5(21), Clare says that
she has felt aura of yoma as strong and ominious as of Riful only one time
before in her life.

But I don't remember her where she might have felt that aura. Among the
awakened she met on her life which were shown in manga, Priscilla is the only
one which have aura that powerful. But at that time, Clare was still human so
she can't feel the aura.

As there are 3 case where she met the awakened(IIRC). One is the male
awakened, second one is when she meets no 4 Ophelia, which was killed by
Ophelia by herself and last one is the awakened Ophelia. Among three, I don't
think anyone has as powerful aura as Riful.

Another option is, Clare is not talking about awakened but about the Claymore
from number 1-5. As number 3 Galatea was with Clare in this fight, so she is
out of the list. It can't be Number 1 Alicia and Number 2 Beth because they
appear very late in manga. As remaining is number 5 Rafael, she does have
enormous aura but they have never met each other. And she did felt something
while walking away from Irene but not sure that was aura of Rafael or
vanishing aura of Irene.

I tried out to find the time and the person but didn't find anything.

When did Clare felt the aura of yoma as strong and ominious as of Riful for
the first time? Whose aura was that?

Whose and When did Clare felt the aura of yoma as strong and ominious as of Riful for the first time?


That would be when she was with Teressa of the saint smile and came face to
face with freshly awakened Priscilla.

While it's true that normal human can't sense youki aura, those with sharp
sixth sense can, So it's not that human can't feel their aura, but it's just
hard to do. From Claymore 86, The Touch's Sin.

And it's true that you said she met 3 Awakened Beings but none of them were on
Abyssal One caliber. Now, you mentioned that Clare might not be talking about
the awakened being rather one of Claymore warrior, while this is probably true
but considering what Galatea said right after that, they must be talking about
the enemy rather than their fellow warrior.

Now this left us with only one possible choice, Priscilla. But did Clare
really feel her aura? We don't know for sure about that. However, she saw
Priscilla killing Teresa, and when she faced her at close distance, she was
overcame by fear, trembled by her presence. From Claymore 24, Marked For Death

Now that Clare can feel their yoma, she must have remembered that feeling and
realize how strong Priscilla's aura actually was.
