The Amazing Claire

The Amazing Claire is a Tiefling Bard(6)/Rogue(1) and a member of the Best Friends Club. She is played by Briony Redman.

Appearance
Claire is a red-skinned, horned Tiefling with black hair, usually wearing leather armour (or occasionally a tree costume). She carries drumsticks as well as a never-played lute. Her preferred weapon is a rapier, although she had carried a cursed Butcher's Cleaver for quite a while and used that as her primary weapon, even though it compelled her to eat human flesh.

Personality
Claire is an optimist, ready to see the best in everyone... except maybe herself. Her trusting nature tends to lead the party into either trouble or, at the minimum, into unpaid professional projects.

Background
She used to be part of The Trolling Bones, a group of older musicians who later abandoned her after a bad gig and the discovery of her true lineage. She still takes any opportunity to play music or sing a song, whether appropriate to the situation or not.

Ravensholm Season One
Claire was introduced as a carefree, often childish character often getting caught up in Phillin's shenanigans, but she has started being mentored by Reverend Jack Hardcastle, becoming his "Rookie"

She has been involved in negotiating the rewards from most of the parties quests, but her love of theatre has led her to trade gold & equipment for story rights to their adventures (much to the Rev's chagrin).

During the parties escape from Avernus, Claire was forced to reveal that she was 'A Hellchild' born of the Baldur's Gate Redlocks, a revelation that caused a significant rift between her and Jack.

Ravensholm Season Two
Claire has continued to grow during her adventures, now more likely to rein Phillin in than join him.

Reverend Jack Hardcastle
Claire initially irritated the Rev due to her joining in with Phillin's antics, and her willingness to forgo rewards in exchange for story rights.

During the parties travel across the Planes she took an interest in his style of detective work and started to (somewhat successfully) emulate his methods. This also irritated the Rev at first, but she eventually won him around, with him proudly calling her "Rookie".

There were some hints of romantic interest between the two of them, but this may have been ruined when Claire revealed that she is the daughter of The Redlock family, the corrupt Baldur's Gate Patriars responsible for Jack being framed for crimes he didn't commit, dismissed from the city guard and his attempted murder.

Phillin Blanks
Phillin is Claire's partner in chaos and her current #Shintwin.
