✯ The Classified Dossier
In this post, you will find concise (and easier to digest) information about Claire Redfield as a character and how I play her. Note that the information asterisks (*) are headcanons and deductions.
"You chose the role of a rescuer, instead of a fighter."
NAME: Claire Redfield.
FULL NAME: Claire Elizabeth* Redfield.
ALIASES: The NGO Member, Hippie* (A gaming magazine called her that back when CVX was released). List subject to change.
DATE OF BIRTH: November 9th*, 1979. (*Alyson Court's birthday is November 9, so I'm using that information to fill in the gaps the canon has and that the novels don't close.)
HEIGHT: 169cm (5'5")
HAIR COLOR: Auburn.
EYE COLOR: Blue.
BLOOD TYPE: O.
NATIONALITY: American.
TATTOOS: None (canonically), headcanons soon to come.
PIERCING: None (canonically), headcanons soon to come.
CANON: Resident Evil (BIOHAZARD).
CANON POINT: Post-Revelation 2 and Post-Heavenly Island (Even though Mun doesn't consider that story canon, but just for your information). For further detail, Mun goes on the canon presentation of the events of Raccoon City's scenario: Claire A, Leon B.
PB: Her CGI appearances (Mun has a preference for Degeneration/Code Veronica's faces).
MOTION CAPTURE: Lori Rom.
VOICE: Alyson Court, even if she no longer voices Claire.
CLONES: For meta and funny shenanigans, hell yeah! Especially her RE2 Remake appearance, which mun treats as an alternate universe altogether.
FAMILY: Parents (Decased), Grandparents (Deceased), Chris Redfield (Alive)
PARTNERS: None canonically.
CHILDREN: None canonically (as of right now).
FRIENDS: Moira Burton, Sherry Birkin, Barry Burton, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, TerraSave members (some have passed away). Presumably others, but they are not mentioned.
AFFILIATIONS: TerraSave, any anti-B.O.W organization as well as any NGO affiliated to TerraSave, BSAA (Presumably).
ENEMIES: Umbrella, Alex Wesker, Albert Wesker, any shady company really, corrupt officials and pharmaceutical companies.
HISTORY: Wikia here, considering it's such a long and extensive history. A good TL;DR for it is that she's the survivor of a total of five (5) outbreak incidents throughout her life. After the first two she devoted herself to work in TerraSave (an NGO) to aid survivors and prevent more situations like this to happen. With her informal training in combat and her survival skills, she's proved to be a formidable survivor. However, beyond just that, there's quite a character to her. Explained below in the Personality section.
PERSONALITY: There are many words to describe Claire Redfield, but I will keep it very brief. Upon first glance, we see a friendly woman who is sociable, cordial and kind. She has little to no trouble talking to people she doesn't know and has a motherly instinct to her that makes her good with kids(Mun ignores Revelations 2's characterization of Claire for this part). On a deeper level, we find that Claire has a fiery personality in itself. A bit sassy, a bit prone to acting out based on her emotions, but equally prone to jumping into danger to save innocent and defenseless people. Technically, we can say she's in tune with her emotions and is often moved by them mostly. She's not often moved by fear, however, having the experience to keep a calm, collected head to get herself out of tricky situations with her wits and skills. Like her brother, she's a natural born leader, or perhaps takes on the responsibilities of taking care of people more easily than most.
Succintly, a woman of heart, soul, bravery and skills. Maybe with a little bit of luck sprinkled on top.
PHYSICAL INFORMATION: As per Revelations 2, it seems she's still quite in good shape, physically speaking fo rthe time being. Given that her job sometimes requires physical prowess, she seems to still keep in shape and practice what she's learned over the years. Despite the injuries substained during the course of all outbreaks (after being tossed about, kicked in the face by Albert Wesker, incapacitated (for some reason) during Degeneration, and the sorts), she seems to have no long-term consequences to these injuries. Maybe only emotional. Now, we go within. In Revelations 2 Claire and Moira are injected with the T-Phobos Virus, but it never mutates because they both don't get afraid enought for it to activate and work. It is never explained if they got the virus out of Claire and Moira or if their bodies had just adapted it and made themselves immune to it -- and we also don't know the ramifications of that immunity and how it would apply.
PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION: There's not a lot of canonical information on how Claire Redfield copes with a lot of what has happened. Mun can only assume that TerraSave may have psychology experts affiliated to help the survivors and those affected by bioterrorism. Otherwise, most of the time we get to see Claire, she seems to be in the moment, deal with the moment and not worry about the rest. In the SD Perry Novels however, it is mentioned that Chris made sure Claire got a therapist after the passing of their parents. This seems quite logical, to me.
SKILLS & ABILLITIES (As Per Canon):
• Hand-to-Hand Combat: Thanks to Chris, she seems to be quite well-versed in combat. Though her training is hardly military level, it's still quite up to par and above any ordinary civilian level. She's also very proficient in her use of knife, having that as her most consistent weapon on her.
• Knife Throwing: Again, Chris is to blame for this one! It's probable that it was taught merely as a nifty little trick, but Claire uses it to get out of sticky situations.
• Marksmanship: While Chris may have taught her what she knew by the time she reached Raccoon City, she definitely learned a lot more during her time in Raccoon City. She seems to have more than experience handling a variety of weaponry all across her outbreak experiences, from shotguns to grenade launchers, rocket launchers to crossbows. Her weapon of choice is a simple handgun and only using it when absolutely necessary.
• Endurance & Strength: This girl withstood getting tossed around and kicked by Albert Wesker, so that says one thing. Another thing entirely is her mere endurance across the outbreak experiences. This means, running, jogging and fighting for her life in many instances, which we can see all throughout her appeareances. In situations like zombie outbreaks, you need to move quick and consistently to even stand a chance. This girl has stamina for sure, but she will slowdown when injured.
• Lockpicking: The master of unlocking Jill Valentine is still beyond reach, but Claire Redfield has a hand or two in lockpicking. What initially started as just a fun thing to do became a notable and useful skill of Claire's.
• Conspiracy uncovering: She... has a knack for putting two and two together and going full Pepe Silvia.
INVENTORY: Weapons and items usually in her arsenal or, in a best case scenario, this is what she would have.*
• S.T.A.R.S Knife, or a combat knife + holster.
• Handgun (usually the Browning HP), of any kind + holster.
• Lockpicking tools.
• Shotgun + Strap.
• S.T.A.R.S Lighter.
• Fist Aid Spray x3.
• Flashlight or a functioning cellphone, if need be.
