Personality
Claire is in her own world, and has trouble finding her feet in the severity of reality. She is spun by longings and internal conflict. She drifts through the motions of reality, distracted by fantasy and the urge to escape actuality. She can experience intense joy in the midst of a loving environment or a creative outlet; and on the contrary -extreme mood swings and tactile hallucinations. She keeps what is going on inside her head hidden away from everyone else. Any time Claire feels threatened by boundaries or violations she will quickly attempt an escape.

History
Placid and easygoing as a child and teenager, she became increasingly assertive in her personality. When she was 7, an older male cousin living in their home sexually abused her. Her father was aware that this happened, but kept it a secret to save the family's reputation. When she began to have manic episodes and show symptoms of bi polar disorder, her mother and father arranged for her to stay at a mental institution. She studied hard for four years, but when she arrived home she felt she disappointed her parents, whom she wanted to please.
Claire graduated high school and became a critically acclaimed artist. She was seeing lots of men, but Jamie Rhodes was the first to turn her stomach in knots. She disregarded her friend's doubts that Jamie and Claire would stay happy in a monogamous relationship, and accepted his marriage proposal quickly. She was never open to him about her past, and tried to suppress her intense mood swings and feelings. One night Claire and Jamie got into a particularly heated argument. The more aggressive Jamie became, the more out of control Claire began to feel. She was overcome with sudden panic. The house was bitter and the cool air pulled across her skin, making every hair on her body stand up. She grabbed the gun sitting on his desk, and shot him in the head, twice. She stood in the middle of the room shivering, her tongue swollen in fear. She dragged his body to the middle of the room, held his hand and then shot herself lying next to him.
