Personality: There are many ways to describe Claire; naive, stubborn, remarkable, intelligent, kind and courageous. Many of the more defining factors regarding Claire are strengths about her, although many of these strengths are also her biggest weaknesses depending on the situation.
Claire is an intelligent girl, shown when she had transferred from Odessa to a school in Costa Verde. Although Claire was intelligent she was under orders to not stand out and instead of answering questions in class she simply wrote the answer down, which was also a test to herself to see if she was right. Claire's intelligence is not just academic but transfers to her regenerative abilities when put to the test but also in social situations. There have been many situations in which a disaster was about to happen or a situation seemed dire and this is when Claire has shown not only bravery, and some recklessness, but also intelligence. By using her ability Claire has been able to save people from disasters (such as from a train fire) or stop a disaster (when Ted was about to blow up their house by being unable to control his ability). Another area which highlights her intellect is during situations when things are being hidden from Claire, which is most of her life. Claire has gotten good at being able to detect when people are lying to her due to her high experience with it, which leaders to her being able to work out plans when she is only told some information (either by guessing, deducting or picking up a phone to listen to the full conversation).
Although due to being a cheerleader Claire may seem mean, she quickly manages to diffuse and remove this stereotype, first by making herself the most unpopular person in school and hated by the rest of the cheerleaders (but loved by everyone whom is hated by a cheerleader) but second by managing to either befriend or calm others. As well as being friendly, Claire is also a very caring individual and particularly to those whom are friends and family. When those whom Claire cares about are hurt or unable to be contacted it causes her to worry, most notably regarding the health of Peter and then the health of her (adoptive) mom. When Claire realises that her father is part of a plot to imprison anyone with an ability, Claire risks herself and her ‘free pass’ to save everyone and to stop the plan. Although she is unable to do so and is later taken home, when someone known as Rebel contacts her with information to prevent others from being taken Claire goes to them, first managing to convince them that she’s being truthful by revealing her own ability and later hiding them in her room before helping them to escape.
Claire is also incredibly stubborn, something which links into and isn’t helped by (nor does it help) her naivety. After discovering her ability and testing it, Claire wanted to use it to help others despite what her father said. Although she listened to him, for the most part, if she learned of something dangerous - for example Peter being the bomb - or something that she felt too strongly about to let it lie - for example Pinehearst, the Company and the plot to lock up everyone with an ability - Claire defied her parents, and did anything that she could to either stop what was happening or to save anyone that she could. Much of Claire’s stubbornness comes from the fact that her father has lied to her for many years and continues to do so, believing that he is hurting their family rather than protecting them as he says. Claire’s trust in her father has been destroyed and although she tries to believe him and love him, she still discovers things about him that destroy that trust again and intensify her anger towards him. This anger causes Claire to ‘act out’, at first skipping school in order to learn how to fight with Meredith and then when she ‘hunts down’ escaped Level Five prisoners by herself in order to take them back to the Company. Although Claire had some success she was quick to learn that it was a more difficult job than she’d originally thought. Although Claire then promised not to go after any of the other prisoners it didn’t stop her from trying to help others - especially after her father was shot and killed (supposedly), when Claire made it her mission to bring down the Company and expose what they were doing by the use of her father’s files. Even after her father returned after being healed by her blood Claire was still determined in her idea to expose the Company and the knowledge of abilities so that this couldn’t happen.
As Claire knows little about her abilities it leaves her feeling insecure and causes insensitivity in her when dealing with others and having to be reminded that not everyone heals as quickly as she does. Although Claire’s father is trying to keep her from the Company as they’ll use her as a guinea pig to test her to the limits, Claire doesn’t entirely think that that is a bad idea - she’s learned that her blood can heal others and after learning about lizards being able to regrow their limbs discovers that she can too, wondering if she could be used in stem cell research to help others. Although Claire ultimately wants to help others, many of her actions actually hinder others due to her behaviour - she doesn’t fully understand a situation and often behaves a little immaturely about it due to her stubborn wills.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Many of Claire's strengths are also her weaknesses, stemming from naive beliefs regarding herself and others.
+ intelligent ( in terms of academia and in thinking on her feet - Claire is able to find solutions to help others when a situation seems grim, but most of that is due to putting herself in danger as she knows that she is able to heal )
+ brave/courageous ( as Claire knows that she is able to heal from any injury this increases her bravery as she will put herself in harms way to save someone from danger, preventing them from becoming hurt or dying had she not done so e.g. the train wreck & stopping Ted )
+ friendly/caring/kind ( Claire is a very kind and caring individual despite being a cheerleader and even more so when it regards her friends and family, particularly when they are in danger )
+ stubborn ( Claire's stubbornness can be an asset but only when used in situations. It has helped her before when convincing others to seeing her view point or being adamant in certain situations where she has believed that she can help )
+ athletic ( as a cheerleader and gymnast Claire has a good muscle memory and athletic talent. She is also shown to be a decent runner and can play badminton )
- stubborn ( Claire's stubbornness is one of her main weaknesses despite it being a strength as often when she is trying to prove a point or refuses to back down in an argument it has her appear childish and reckless rather than how she would prefer to be seen - a young woman who is capable and willing to help )
- insensitive ( Claire's insecurities regarding herself and her ability often stops her from being able to communicate with others ( particularly those without an ability ) as she finds it hard to connect with them and find common ground, especially when she is thinking about her ability. As such she can appear rude and insensitive and often speaks before thinking, putting her foot in her mouth very easily )
- reckless ( although Claire tries to be brave and puts herself in danger to save others from harm it is more reckless than she'd like to believe and often ends up putting her family in danger as it alerts the Company to her presence )
- naive ( Claire's stubborn beliefs and beliefs of how she thinks the world could be if they simply knew about abilities makes her look naive. Although her ideas often seem good she fails to see the bigger picture and looks at the world from her view without trying to think from other perspectives )

Samples
First Person Sample: [ Claire gave a look to the fox that was sat beside her, one that kept nudging her with its head and refusing to leave her alone. And that wasn’t all that was weird - none of stuff had been with her, which figured if this was the Company’s doing - though giving her a fox, a weird cell phone and a lot of other weird stuff?
She had no idea. Picking up the phone, and lifting the fox’s head off her legs again, Claire looked for the call button, hitting it before speaking ]
Whoever this is, and wherever you’ve brought me, it’s pretty stupid. I mean the world of Pokemon? Come on. I’m sixteen, I know what that is and it’s probably the worst line you could have come up with. And what kind of facility lets those they kidnap just run around?
[ So maybe this wasn’t the Company then and rather something else, although saying that the complex could have fences around it and were just giving the illusion of them being free. Although… that wasn’t the Company either, not when they dealt in small cells ]
Look… just don’t hurt them, okay? Even Lyle…
[ And you can hear a ‘shoo’ as Claire tries to get rid of the fox again, and then a small Vuul? Her shoo is promptly ignored ]
I’ll be your lab rat.
Third Person Sample: They’d packed up the night before, though it wasn’t as if they had much left to take - not after Ted had been there. Nevertheless, they’d left. Texas had been nice but as much as she hadn’t wanted to leave there was a part of her that had. So much had happened recently - Jackie’s murder, Sylar and then the bomb in Kirby Plaza - granted that was in New York but it was just one more thing. A fresh start would be nice; part of her wondered if there was even anything left for her there… she’d lost her friends and her home, granted she still had her life but that wasn’t even safe anymore - Sylar might have been gone but the Company was looking for her now.
Claire hadn’t remembered falling asleep, although when she awoke she found the situation a little more than strange. She figured that someone would have woken her up instead of carrying her to bed, although when she’d dressed and gone downstairs she was met with an empty house - barring the furniture anyway.
“Mom? Dad? … Lyle?” Claire had gone back upstairs to check every room but there’d been no sign of them anywhere. This was worrying. If the Company had been here wouldn’t they have taken her too? Or maybe they already had but then why was she alone? Where was the agent that was sure to be babysitting her?
Claire didn’t get chance to find that out nor finish her thought. Hearing a commotion outside Claire tested the door, pleased to find that it was unlocked and opened. There were a lot of people outside and all of them were huddled around one man. Was he part of the Company? Were they like her? Kidnapped and brought here?
She managed to catch a glimpse of a sign that read New Bark Town. She’d never heard of it but then what the guy said wasn’t exactly what she was expecting either.
”Welcome to the world of Pokemon.”
Pokemon? He had to be kidding her. That was some dumb kids game that Lyle had played when he was younger, how did it exist?
Actually, the only answer that she had for that was that it didn’t… but then what was going on?
