STRENGTHS

• Powerful: With the powers that Jace gave her together with her own natural magic, Claire became one of the most powerful witches, and now that she can almost completely control both the dark and elemental magic, she has become a dangerous person to mess or reckon with.
  
• Smart: Claire is very book smart, but not only with that, in general she knows not to be too reckless and through the years has learned what to keep an eye out for, or for what to watch out for herself when it concerns magic, people around her and personal choices and almost always thinks before she does or says something.
  
• Kind & Caring: It isn’t hard to notice how kind Claire is and how much she cares to what happens to the people around her, she helps at almost any occasion that comes up and loves it when she succeeds in actually making a difference and helping.
  
• Loyal: She takes loyalty even more serious than ever before, after her first circle where everything really begun for her broke up because of betrayal which ended in the death of one of her best friends, Jace, she found it even more important than before.
  
• Responsible: She was always the responsible one in her family, and even though she honestly has a bit more trouble than she had in her youth with keeping up to that, she of course has to keep it up as good as possible, now having even more responsibility than before, she won’t just abandon anything or anyone that she’s responsible for in an way.

WEAKNESSES

• Anger: Even though she is very kind and all that, she can still get very angry and feisty even when someone actually angers her enough to break through her kindness, and then she can lash out pretty hard with both actions and words.
  
• Wesley: From her time in college Claire always had a major crush on Wes and did everything for him even though he treated her like crap, but now that they’re together and even living together, he could still be seen as a bit of a weakness for her because of how much she loves him and wants to keep him safe.
  
• Social: Especially because of everything that she’s gotten herself into and feels responsible for, including the people that she is, Claire’s social life is a bit limited, something that she hates but has trouble fixing.
  
• Fighting: She’s a very powerful witch, but even though she’s spent some time training in psyical combat on her own and with help and still does, she’s still not a very capable fighter which makes her vulnerable in that department against someone who is.
  
• Caring: Because she cares so much when it comes down to the people she loves, she is willing to almost anything to help them if necessary, something that can easily lead to her getting herself into trouble if necessary for it.

[/BLOCKQUOTE]

LIKES

• Reading: She really loves reading and can easily spend hours reading if she gets the chance and if it’s interesting enough for her.
  
• Witchcraft & Magic: Since she found out about her heritage, Claire sort of fell in love with being a witch and the things she could do, and even being careful with it, especially with her elemental and dark magic, she still loves to get control of certain powers and try new things, even though she knows sometimes it’s a bit too much.
  
• Teaching: She loves to teach classes at the college, it makes her forget for a moment all the dark crap she’s been through and knows she will still probably have to go through, and loves the idea of helping her students.
  
• Music: She still loves music, but certain music styles kind of hurt her because of her memories of Eli with it, but also at the same time keeps listening to it to keep his memory up with it.
  
• Changing of the seasons: Each in it's own way, she loves the different seasons, and thus also when the seasons change again she likes enjoying the "new" things again that come with it.

[/BLOCKQUOTE]

DISLIKES

• Partying: Even though Claire has loosened up quite a bit since her college days of not partying at all and goes to parties from time to time, she’s still not a really big fan of parties, especially not the ones that seem to be completely out of control.
  
• Arrogance: She has a total hate for people that are really arrogant, for the fun of it she can appreciate with some people, but for the most part she really hates any honest form of arrogance.
  
• Superiority: She hates people and things that think they are so much better and more special than most people, from demons and other evil things she can mostly see it coming anyway, but from normal humans and people she knows, it’s just a touchy subject for her since she never acted like that around Eli either even though she was better with a lot of things.
  
• Arguments: She does have a certain appreciation for having a healthy discussion or debate about something, but actual arguments and people that continue them on and on is something that can really get on her nerves quickly.
  
• Being the center of attention: Claire really isn't the type of girl that likes being in the spotlights, and thus rather mostly keep herself in the background, although she can make some exceptions sometimes.

HISTORY

Being Eli’s little sister Claire automatically grew up together with him under their superior parents. Luckily it wasn’t as hard a youth as you would expect with those kind of parents, but that was also something that would later turn out to be different between her and Eli. They really love both of their children, but with some of the trouble Eli could cause, it regularly seemed like they loved Claire more than him, even though that of course wasn’t really true, something that Claire has always kept saying that it wasn’t true and tried a lot of times to be a mediator between her parents and Eli.

Their parents are just somewhat disappointed in Eli with the way he lives his life and such, something Claire agrees on slightly, but actually being as disappointed as them she could never really imagine. Even though the protective side of Eli can really annoy her quite a lot, the two of them are very close with each other, and she really loves Eli as her brother, even though it’s mostly rare occasions where she actually says that out loud. She has said a lot of times to him that she can take care of herself, and also wants to prove that often enough, even if she of course appreciates it that Eli cares so much, she just doesn’t want to be or just seem like she’s dependant on him.

With the fact that she’s always been convinced that she can take care of herself and also protect herself, she’s tried a few martial arts, but she doesn’t really have a talent for those things, probably because of how kind and caring she is and doesn’t actually want to hurt anyone. She started pretty soon with practicing witchcraft and thus was pretty toung, but even though she started out pretty early, she quickly proved that she did have a talent for that, unlike the failures at the martial arts, realizing that it still sucked that she couldn’t really protect herself on a physical level if needed.

Claire had a rough time quickly enough in the college coven when they got into a fight with Selena but managed to survive that and defeat her, not realizing at the time that it was only just the beginning of everything that would happen. Because soon enough, the bond between Wes and Kyra, for her, seemed to become stronger and she thought she had even more of an impossible chance with him than ever before, but eventually it turned out to be even worse when the two stole Jace’s powers, killing her partially inadvertently in the process.

She was completely shocked when she found out it was mostly Wesley, even though inside she kept blaming it on Kyra, she was the corrupter and was responsible for Wesley giving more and more into the hunger for more and more power. When Jace gave Claire, together with Ev, her remaining elemental and dark magic, Claire was overwhelmed, but promised herself to not be corrupted and specifically use it for good, and to redeem Wesley.

Before the whole events of betrayal Claire even had a special night with Wesley, partially because of a love spell from Jace that had gone rogue and infected the whole city, but she was still sure from that moment on that it was real from Wes, that he felt the same for her as she felt for him, but that he just couldn’t easily admit it, and from that point on she was determined to not give up until she had no other choice. Also when Mari told her that she thought that Claire was his only chance at redemption, there wasn’t any doubt left in her, even though she knew eventually how wrong it must have come across to Everette, who wanted nothing less than to have both Kyra and Wes dead for what they did to their friend.

When the confrontation eventually came with Wes and knew what Ev would espect from her, to help him kill him, that there seemed to be no other choice as she had decided to keep as her limit for trying to save him, she still just couldn’t, but she had to make a split second decision at the same time too. So she couldn’t help it, she choose for Wes even with the knowledge that Ev would maybe even hate her for it, without anyone knowing it, she fired a spell at Wes that should have killed him, but she modified it in a way that it wouldn’t kill him, that it would only take his powers away, a secret that she couldn’t help but keep for herself as long as possible, especially because she didn’t know Wes’s reaction to it yet.

Still when she explained everything to Wes and gave him a bit of time to really get it through his head, to actually believe it, the two of them finally came together, but just not as close as Claire had hoped for years, but it was good enough for her. He knew that a bit of distance and carefulness wouldn’t hurt. The two of them still ended up living together, also so Claire could keep an eye on him, but in general just simply so she could be with him, the thing that she wanted most.

It wasn’t long after all of that that Claire got blow after blow in her life, losing even more people, first losing her father as remaining parent, losing Everette and even Eli in all the chaos of the four horsemen and everyone that took advantage of it. It changed her, not too much, she managed to get a grip of herself again after some time, but it made her harder, it made her more determined to not want to get out of this fight. She also grew closer to Jayla, having a connection with her because the two of them were and still are mostly in the same position of having lost about everyone they cared for and becoming friends because of it as also two remaining members of the old team. After that, Claire also kept in touch with Mari, who eventually asked her to join the Seraphim Foundation, something with the chances Mari gave her, Claire couldn’t decline.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Especially now I can see Claire wanting to involve herself in as much fighting against evil as she can, wanting revenge and justice at the same time. At the same time she will work for the Seraphim Foundation as Team Leader of Magical Division, a division that Mari gave her control at Claire’s idea for magical research, but also seeking out, recruiting and training new witches for the Seraphim coven under Claire’s leadership, for which she has already found a couple of witches who she is working with. While she does this and teaches at the college, she’s also, if that’s still a go, going to help the new circle of witches in town, trying to guide them, hoping to prevent them from having even slightly a bit of a run that her own circle had, not wanting anyone to go through something like that. In the meantime she’ll also have to keep an eye out, because even though of her control and balance of her magical powers, she still has to watch out to not use her dark magic too strong and often especially and get corrupted by it anyway, while even also hoping mostly to get her relationship with Wesley stronger and make him believe that she doesn’t see him as a liability or weakness because he doesn’t have any magic, maybe even secretly trying to figure out how she might give him some of his powers back.,
