Overall Personality: Claudia is an energetic and charismatic natural born leader but is headstrong and prideful, always having to do things her way and getting what she wants. She has a bad temper and a short fuse but is generally friendly and kind to people as long as they don't piss her off. She respects strength and despises weakness and will always be the first one to dive head first in a fight.
Even Though Yesterday's Gone
History: Claudia was born in New York City, NY and lived there until she was ten years old before her family moved to Bar Harbor to live a more quiet life. Always the little rascal, Claudia was a real tomboy and rather played with toy guns and swords instead of dolls and ponies. She took up jiu jitsu as soon as the family moved to Bar Harbor and kept training up until the apocalypse happened.
In high school, Claudia wasn't very social, having to spend her weekends working at her parents' Italian restaurant (which was the only one in Bar Harbor). Her friend circle was pretty much limited to Mallory Faraday and Mikayla Forrester. Although being a natural beauty Claudia only ever had one boyfriend which was Quinlan Faraday, Mallory's brother who dated her until he graduated high school and joined the army.
After Claudia graduated high school with Mallory and Mikayla, the three of them along with some other broke into the school to pull off a senior prank but ended up tripping an alarm inside. They ran but Claudia was the only one who got caught by the police. Because Mallory never spoke up about it, admitting she was in on it too, it seemed for a long time Claudia was going to have to take the fall for it alone. Claudia up until this day doesn't know Mallory's father forbid Mallory to speak up, wanting to take care of the issue himself. Claudia was never charged with anything thanks to Abraham Faraday but the fact she thinks Mallory didn't want to speak up left her bittered up until this day.
Claudia was able to go to college at NYU, working her way through college at her uncle's company in New York. She got a degree in Biology in New York, and then moved on to Oregon State to follow Marine Biology. It was also during this time Claudia joined the US Army National Guard until she finished her studies.
After coming home, Claudia started working at the MDI Marine Biological Laboratory until the walker apocalypse happened. After the collapse of government, a well organized militia under the guidance of Abraham Faraday took control of the island and secured its borders and life in the apocalypse was peaceful despite everything. That all changed when Big Dick took over and killed Abraham Faraday, taking control himself.
Claudia, being rebellious by nature didn't take too kindly of this and after fighting a lost battle to Big Dick's men, she was forced to run and take refuge with many others in the forest outside of Bar Harbor. Up until this day Claudia's marauders give Big Dick's men a run for their money, exercising guerilla tactics to steal supplies and kill Big Dick's men.
