## Past (Life Before the Challenge)

Not much is known about Claudia's life that would've happened before the challenge as Clare created her as a young adult. But that doesn't mean nothing is none. Claudia is assumed to have been born, raised and for most of her life lived in Forgotten Hollow. Claudia is said to have been a very powerful and old vampire. She also was said to have been rich as Clare said she had probably collected lots of money over the years. It is very likely she was also a part of the Vampire Court. When Claudia heard that vampires were struggling and slowly going extinct, she suggested the idea to procreate with humans to solve the problem but the elder vampires disagreed of the community {specifically Vlad}. This caused her to be stripped of her vampire powers and kicked out of Forgotten Hollow, losing all of her riches as well. Somehow, Claudia became a vampire again. but sadly her rank and powers reset, leaving her with powers of a beginner vampire. Claudia decided to move to Del Sol Valley as she guessed that's where the most humans lived.

## Life During the Challenge

      With no money and no shelter from the sun, life suddenly became very difficult for Claudia. She decided to become a doctor so she could use the patients as the her victims and in order to save her from the sun went on many odd jobs until it was finally nighttime, finally safe from chance of burning to death in the sun. When she got home she decided to go to a club in order to avoid the sun, where she 'met' Riku Ota and then drank from him, leaving as the sun set. She then spent the night doing some dark mediation and updating her social media on her phone {occasionally getting interrupted by some bats freaking out which was explained by saying that the bats were some of her old vampire rivals coming to taunt her}. The next day was Claudia's first day as a Medical Intern where she drank the plasma of three of her patients. When she got home she got an odd job and in the free time she had before going off to her odd job she went on a {very} short little jog and tried to collect few things around her house until it was officially time to leave for her odd job. When she got home it was already starting to get dark out and decided it would be fun to troll Judith Ward, causing her to hallucinate. When Judith stoppted hallucinating Claudia not only drank from her but also Octavia Bailey, who witnessed Claudia drinking Judith's plasma/blood. She especially liked the taste of Octavia's blood so when the celebrity woke up Claudia tried to become friends with her in order to get her to join the Blood Club {which she made so she could drink from the other members} which failed miserably. After Octavia left Claudia updated/added to her social media story a few times before traveling to a park with "her snack" aka Riku {he did not show, probably cause it was pretty much the middle of the night}. She collected a few things around the park and did some dark meditation before heading to the gym with Riku. She and Riku got into the hot tub and enjoyed it for a few minutes but Claudia had to go to work where she drank the plasma of one of coworkers and ranked up from a Fledgling to a Minor Vampire. Upon her return from work Claudia updated/added to her social media story on her phone {quite miserably because she had to eat human food at work and got sick}. Once she got over her sickness Claudia dug up and sold a few collectibles and then went to a {different} park with Riku. Almost immediately after arriving, Claudia drank Riku's plasma/blood, saw a cat by the name of Cat Goth and did some dark meditation. During their time at the park Claudia found and then sold some frogs and collectibles. She also bred her two frogs and then sold the third frog that was a result of the breeding. Claudia returned home and had her first night of sleep in her new coffin and went to her work immediately after waking up. While at work Claudia received a call from Riku, saying he had fallen for her and was wondering if she liked him back to which Claudia answered that she felt the same way even though she didn't actually mean it. When Claudia returned from work she met Thorn Bailey and managed to get a romance bar with him even though the bar didn't have romance or friendship in it yet, then hibernated in her coffin as she lost half of her vampire energy because she was out burning in the sun.

The next day Riku once again called Claudia confessing that he had fallen for her, asking her if she felt similar, and Claudia once again said she felt the same way even though that response was most likely greatly exaggerated. The ghost of Lelila Simms, one of Claudia's previous patients & bite victims, came over to the house telling her that her name had been "all the buzz recently" and asked Claudia if she wanted to hang out and catch up because they were friends even though they weren't ever very close. Claudia went to work and went she came back she went on an odd job. After she returned from her odd job, Claudia invited over Riku and drank some of his blood. Then, Claudia made Riku her offical vampire's thrall/slave/human pet and moved him in, giving him a small room filled with basic necessitates and forcing him to get a career, specifically the gardener career as he was also now responsible for taking care of Claudia's plants. She also went exploring for some collectibles and then sold them.

## Traits {Including her Aspiration, her Aspiration trait and her Personality Type}, Abilities {Vampire Strengths/Powers} and Weaknesses

Claudia has the traits evil, loner and snob. Her aspiration is have a vampire family, giving her the aspiration trait of domestic. Claudia also has the reward trait of an Unique Appearance, the personality trait of The Thinker {INTP} and the extra traits of Everyman and Greedy. Her vampire powers/strengths are the Detect Personality, Cast Hallucination, Eternally Welcome, Vampiric Charm,. Her vampire weaknesses are the Withered Stomach.

## Vampire Strengths/Powers & Weaknesses Explanation/Summary

The Detect Personality power helps Claudia know more about the personalities of others faster without much actual socialization with them. The Cast Hallucination power gives her the ability to cast hallucinations on others that others don't appear to see, making the sim look crazy, stops them from doing anything and appears to make them unable to walk until the hallucination ends. The Eternally Welcome power gives the ability to magically lock and/or unlock any door, including ones that Claudia doesn't own, giving her free access to any house. The Withered Stomach weakness makes Claudia unable to eat human food without having to throw up almost immediately after.

She once drank from and killed a sim with the StrangerVille Mother Virus, which infected her. Because of that, she is slowly going insane, and will soon have to be put inside of a coffin in her dungeon for eternal sleep, which will end Gen 1.

## Personality {More in depth explanation/summary of her traits}

Claudia absolutely hates humans so she doesn't mind killing them off as she finds them annoying and idiotic, not quite understanding humans or technology yet. She's obviously evil but it seems as if she doesn't see herself as evil and instead believes she is simply doing what she must to not only survive but also save her kind/species as a whole. She also appears to take great pleasure in mocking humans and being savage in general as being near {human} misery makes her happy and being around humans {that are strangers} makes her tense. She is quite snobbish about vampires and humans, believing that vampires are far superior and that comparing vampires to humans is like comparing humans to an ant {or any bug really}, angry that vampires are not as powerful as they once were and now have to hide away in order to survive. It's also quite obvious that Claudia would have The Thinker {INTP} personality type as she does seem quite cunning and smart, not only knowing how to solve her problems but also doing what has to be done in order to solve them. It also makes sense for Claudia to have The Thinker {INTP} personality type as she's a loner, preferring her own company or close family and/or friends over any normal human's company. She also has a naturally unique appearance which is probably a side affect/perk{?} of her being a vampire as there obviously is something unique about her. On multiple occasions Claudia has shown that she's not afraid to step on a few people or step on a few toes in order to get what she wants, showing how not only determined she is but also how greedy she is and that her number one priority is her {and probably her kids or at least her heir and maybe the rest of the other vampires}.

## Physical Appearance

Claudia has red eyes, black hair, vampire teeth {in both forms}, and pale skin. She is also quite short. In her human form she is sweet looking, giving her a very innocent look, making her looks very deceiving. Even in her vampire form she looks quite innocent, the only scary part about her being her eyes and the blood around her mouth.

### Human Form:

In her human form Claudia wears her black wavy{?} hair half up {pinned back} & half down with a big black floppy hat. She wears a dark{ish} red sweater with a black belt, black see through tights and a black plaid skirt/shorts. She also wears patterned see through faded to black gloves and black thigh high boots. Her makeup consists of red lipstick, red eye shadow, black eyeliner and a little bit of pink blush {barely any}.

### Vampire Form:

In her vampire form Claudia wears her hair in a high ponytail with a side fringe {which doesn't exist on her human form}. Claudia wears one of Eve's old fashioned{?} dresses and appears to wear brown boots{?} with it. It also seems like she becomes even more pale in her vampire/dark form. Claudia wears much darker make up in her vampire/dark form such as her eye shadow and lipstick. She also has more arched eyebrows in her dark form than her human/normal form. Another thing that changes in her dark form is her eyes, as they become a much bright vibrant red making her red eyes much more noticeable. Claudia also gets dried, dripping, messy and smeared blood as a sign of how much blood she drank in the past and it {permanently?} stained her lips and around her mouth and chin.

## Relationships {romantic, familial, friendly, etc.}

### Riku Ota:

In the beginning, Riku was a massive simp for Claudia, always calling her and going over to her house. He seemed to *enjoy* being fed from, which caused Claudia to invite him into her household to be her vampire's thrall. Even though they woo-hooed, the romantic relationship between Claudia and Riku continues to be one-sided, only Riku having a crush on her. Despite treating him as a slave, Claudia seems to care for Riku, locking him away whenever she is extremely thirsty, and making sure he doesn't see her kill anyone. She also got jealous when Riku's friend Aya confessed her feelings for him, prompting Claudia to kill her so that she could have Riku all to herself.

### Thorne Bailey:

Claudia and Throne Bailey didn't have a very strong relationship and are only acquaintances but they appeared to have a brief flirtation as they have a romance bar even if it is super low.

### Johnny Zest:

Claudia considered dating Johnny, eventually deciding against it. Despite her rejection, Johnny kept texting and calling her, asking her out on dates and wanting to chat. This annoyed Claudia so much that she decided to kill him— but even after death. Johnny continued asking her out, which annoys her to no end.

### Ashton Houts:

Claudia definitely has a love~hate relationship with Ashton. It took a very long time for her to actually have and maintain/keep a romantic relationship as they kept arguing and yelling at him, Ashton also seemed to be constantly annoyed with Claudia after he moved in with her.

### Lucifer Von Ziegenweid:

Claudia seems to love Lucifer dearly and takes care of him quite well. She loves giving her little kitten lots of love and often makes sure he has everything he needs including food. Claudia also loves to spend time with little Lucifer, letting him do whatever he wants and roam freely around the house.

### {The} Grim Reaper:

Claudia has made good friends with the Grim Reaper and always love the chance to catch up with him whenever she has the chance. She even gave him a residence key so he could come over whenever he wanted. She also took many pictures of him to represent their friendship. Claudia also helps Grim Reaper out with the whole reaping souls thing, keeping him busy trying to deal with everyone she killed.

### Brynn Houghts:

Brynn was supposed to be a best friend for Claudia and the plan was to turn her into a vampire...Unfortunately the mistake of inviting Claudia's future best friend and her dinner at the same time was made and Brynn ended up dying. Brynn didn't have a great relationship with Claudia after that but the two are slowly building up their friendship and are now good friends. Claudia plans to invite Brynn to join the household until she can find a way to revive her considering she's wants to be best friends with her and it is her fault she's dead in the first place.

### Octavia Bailey:

Claudia has had a negative relationship with Octavia ever since she saw Claudia drink the blood of Judith Ward and then drank from her {Octavia} as well. Claudia found Octavia's blood very satisfying but no matter how hard she tries is appears that she can't fix her relationship with the celebrity.

### Vladislaus Straud:

Claudia despises Vlad and sees him her {mortal} enemy. He is one of the elder vampires that disagreed with her and kicked her out of Forgotten Hollow. He's also the one that made the final decision to exile her and strip her of her powers. Every time Claudia sees him she tries to either hide out of sight to avoid a lecture from him or immediately starts arguing and yelling at him.
