**Claire Olivia Jinks** is the firstborn daughter of the former warehouse agents, teammates and partners, Steven Jinks and Claudia Donovan.

She lost her parents and all immediate relatives at the age of eleven. Ever since, Claire had to take care of her younger sister Cordelia, then aged nine, on her own.

## Claire's Story

Claire was born on August 21, 2015 and became the second child in the B&B at that time, preceded by James Lattimer. She quickly got used to the constant attention of her uncles and aunts (both biological and honorary) and the son of her parents' friends often accompanied the baby at any time of the day or night. That was until her sister was born.

When Claudia was still pregnant, Claire didn't stop dreaming of how her life would change when her little sister is born. The girl could hardly say all this in words, but she often came to her mother when the latter stayed at home, and lay with her or talked to the redhead's belly, to make sure the baby isn't bored. She was there whenever there was something concerning the baby: she chose wallpaper for the nursery, looked through lists of names to choose the right one for her sister, and made sure that James didn't break the baby's toys ahead of time - or she thought she did all of the above.

When Cordelia was finally born, Claire couldn't be happier. At first, she even refused to leave the nursery, fearing that Cordy would disappear and she'd be left alone again, so their parents even had to arrange an extra bed for the blonde.

The girls grew up being extremely close. Claire was always there for her sister, even when Cordy asked her parents to take them both to the warehouse. Despite being raised among agents, Claire was terrified of this place. She always believed that the warehouse would bring them lots of pain sooner or later, and it seemed to feel her distrust and response respectively. Whenever Steve and Claudia took the girls with them, the blonde had absolutely nothing to do not to die of boredom, while Cordy enjoyed her time there and even sometimes confessed that she was talking with the warehouse.

When Claire was six, her fears were finally confirmed. As always, they were in the warehouse, minding their own business, while their parents were working on another case, when the girl heard an uncharacteristic noise. She had hardly figured out what was that, and her four-year-old sister was already lying on the floor, with lots of unidentified artifacts around her. Claire screamed in panic and rushed to their parents, and she managed to call for help just in time. Subsequently, she heard (or eavesdropped) many times that if no one was around at the moment, they could've lost Cordelia, possibly forever.

After the incident, children were allowed to the warehouse much less often and only under the watchful eye of one of its agents. For Claire, it was far from enough, but she tried not to mention it. Her parents definitely knew what to do so that nothing terrible happened again.

Month after month, year after year, everything went quite calmly. Steve and Claudia were busy looking for artifacts, and Clary devoted herself to studying and caring for her younger sister and cousins, whenever they were around. The girl found herself interested in foreign languages ​​and was thrilled when her godmother decided to help her with this, and she also did music with her mother or Aunt Claire when she came to visit. There were still some concerns about the warehouse and how dangerous it could be, but Clary tried to drive those thoughts away so as not to unnerve anyone in her surroundings.

Everything changed when the girl was ten, and things went wrong for the first time in a while. They all had breakfast and made plans for Sunday, which was marked by a family day-off, when Steve, quite tense (which was highly unusual for him), went out of the kitchen to answer the phone. Claire was tormented by the feeling that something bad had happened, and she didn't even know if it was due to her father's reaction to the call or her imagination had run wild again. Recently, she often felt something comparable to Uncle Pete's vibes, but she wasn't sure whether it was worth even talking about. Steve was absent for a long time, so Claudia went to check if everything is okay, and their oldest child became seemingly worried. One glance at her sister was enough to realize that Cordelia shared these feelings. When their mother returned, the situation cleared up (although now the girls preferred that this didn't happen at all): The family day-off was canceled, because Steve urgently left for Jersey. Something happened to their grandmother, and although Claudia smiled and tried to distract her daughters in every possible way, Claire somehow knew exactly what happened. This was clearly not an illness or an ordinary case. She saw it in her mother's eyes or in the way Claudia acted. Clary knew what had happened, and these thoughts depressed her even more.

The worst suspicions were confirmed when, after some time, the whole family went to Jersey. Claire knew that it was a difficult time for both her parents, and she and Cordy definitely didn't feel better. On the road, she decided to talk with her mother about something that bothered her for the last few weeks. Usually Claire turned to Steve to share any secret, although she really didn't know why, but her dad was obviously not able to discuss anything at the moment. Claire decided to tell her mother about the nightmares that haunted her for a couple of weeks already, but Claudia didn't seem to take her daughter's fears seriously, saying it's all the result of the pain of losing a loved one. What annoyed Claire was that she understood that it was something else. Undoubtedly, her grandmother's death unsettled the girl. Claire loved the woman with all her heart, but these nightmares weren't connected with Emma in any way. However, she decided not to raise this topic anymore, hoping that she would soon be able to discuss her concerns with her father.

The family had hardly begun to recover when a new loss struck them. Claudia's older sister, Claire, and two of her nieces were found dead in a dance studio in Minnesota. The police immediately launched an investigation into the violent incident, and soon added to the case the fact of the disappearance and possible death of two other members of the same family: Juliette Mason and Jeffrey Donovan, the fiancée and eldest child of Claudia's long-missing brother. Despite the increased measures taken by both law enforcement and warehouse agents, the truth never came out, and Juliette and Jeffrey were first declared missing, and then finally dead along with the rest of the victims of the crime under the said investigation.

In early 2026, the nightmares began to torment Claire so much that she almost stopped sleeping. The girl tried to fight her insomnia on her own, so as not to burden her parents with even more problems, but the books soon stopped helping, and the exhaustion had a terrible effect on her studies. One night, unable to sleep again, the blonde decided to take a walk to the kitchen in search of something to eat, when she noticed the presence of someone in the living room. There were no lights on, but it was still easy to tell from the voices coming from there that both of her parents were also suffering from insomnia that night. Judging by her father's worried voice, the girl quickly guessed that something bad had happened again. And even though she had no idea who this mysterious "Rachel" was, it was obvious that Dad cared about her and her death had hurt him a lot. Driven by some subconscious desire, the blonde spent the rest of that night by her younger sister's side. She still hadn't been able to sleep, but having Cordy around made her feel a little better.

## Relationships

### Family

#### **Claudia Donovan & Steve Jinks** (deceased)

Claire had a very tender relationship with her parents. Like any other child, she loved them and accepted their work as the warehouse agents. This caused some tension between her and Claudia, but their unbreakable bond with Steve easily compensated for all possible childhood grievances.

When the tragedy claimed the lives of both of her parents, Claire was completely desperate and only her sister still kept her afloat.

#### **Cordelia Jinks**

Claire and Cordelia exemplify the ideal sisterly relationship. The blonde felt a strong connection with her younger sister even before the latter was born, and this didn't change over the years. They could have different hobbies and beliefs, but they were always on each other's side.

When the girls lost every relative they knew one by one, Claire was the one who took care of nine-year-old Cora. This made the young woman worry about the brunette's well-being even more, but she always knew that Cordelia was smart enough not to risk her life in vain.

#### **Claire Donovan and Rachel Jinks** (deceased)

Claire and Rachel were two opposite types of aunts for little Clary. She was always close to her maternal aunt as they spent a lot of time together and her namesake taught her many interesting things, including music. At the same time, she never even knew anything about the existence of her father's other sister until recently. However, the pain of losing both of them didn't leave the blonde for quite a long time.

#### **Joshua Donovan**

Claire never really knew her only uncle and was convinced that he was long dead as he disappeared when she was around two. However, she had heard many stories about him from both her mother and aunt, even from her father and their friends, and something made the blonde think that they could've become really good friends if only they had a chance to meet.

#### **Olivia Jinks**

As with Joshua, Olivia was mostly a stranger to Clary due to her "death" years earlier and the girl only knew her paternal aunt from stories. She often heard from Steve that Claudia reminded him of Livi a lot, and this made her think that the one who really would be on the same wavelength with her would be Cordelia, not her.

#### **Valeria and Grace Donovan** (deceased)

Claire adored her cousins a lot ​​and loved spending time with them whenever they met. Of course, Gracie mostly tried to distance herself from everyone else; however, Val was still an outgoing little girl and Clary has always thought of her as of another sister rather than a cousin.

#### **Jeffrey Donovan**

Jeffrey was the only boy of his generation, so it was no surprise that he preferred to spend time with James rather than his cousins ​​whenever he was at the B&B. And yet Claire always loved watching him, as he stood out from his little family just like she stood up from hers. Despite her great love for all her cousins, the death (or rather, the disappearance considered to be death) of Jeffrey had a greater impact on her life, and the blonde still can't bring herself to forget it.

#### **Emma Jinks** (deceased)

Emma was the first in a chain of deaths that affected their family years earlier, and Claire still recalls it as a bad dream. The girls were still very young, but they both saw how devastated their parents were and they were depressed after the loss of their beloved grandmother.

As a child, Claire sensed the approach of something dangerous, and over the years, she became accustomed to her powers and realized that she did indeed foreseen all those deaths. Since then, the blonde was more than sure that if she told her parents about these premonitions earlier, they wouldn't have lost their entire family, so the guilt torments her to this day.

### Children

#### **Henry Winchester**

Henry is Claire's firstborn and the only blood relative, apart from Cordelia, she has around at the moment. It's not surprising that she's madly in love with him and does her best to protect him from both human and supernatural dangers. Even though the news of his existence was quite unexpected to his parents, that never meant that the baby was unwanted.

For the rest, Claire is just an ordinary caring mom. She spends all her free time with Henry, taking him with her to classes sometimes, where he's the adoration of her fellow students and her husband's colleagues. She sincerely rejoices at all the kid's successes, and the fact that every year he becomes more and more like his late grandfather only makes her nostalgic for the good old days.
