Post
The biker-jacket survivor whose best trait is that she never waits for permission to matter.
Claire works because she is all forward motion. She enters horror spaces looking for her brother or protecting a child and immediately starts acting, which gives her a distinctly practical kind of heroism.
Example
Resident Evil 2 Remake reminded everyone how strong Claire's mix of toughness and empathy really is when properly staged.
Why it matters
Claire matters because player affection grows fast around characters who choose responsibility before certainty.
