Clare Shannon

Clare Shannon is the main character of movie *Wish Upon*.

## History

Clare's mother committed suicide, and made sure to wait until her daughter entered the room so that she would see her hang herself. Clare left a pink tricycle on her lawn for years, for some reason, allowing it to become rusty and overgrown. When she was young, she blamed a boy she had a crush on for farting when it was actually her, and he held a grudge against her for it, because he got rude nicknames for it. Her father doesn't know what salad is, and dumpster dives outside of her school. Clare doesn't want people to know this, so any time she sees her dad dumpster diving she yells, "Dad!" and walks up to argue with him. One day, Clare's dad found a box with Chinese writing on it while dumpster diving and gifted it to Clare, because she is learning Chinese. Clare gets into a fight with a girl at her school, which leaves her needing an ice pack hours later, as she was slapped, and uses the Chinese box to wish that the girl who slapped her would "rot," rather than wishing for something normal. The box was confused by the request, but figured "I guess I do that," and the next day the girl in question wakes up with her face rotting, and her friend finds her disfigurement so funny that he photographs it and posts it to social media, then gets sad when people see it on social media. Because of this, the best character in the movie, died, as the box kills someone in your life every time you make a wish. Clare's next wish was that her family would inherit her uncle's wealth, and the next day her uncle died as a result, with Clare being so stupid that she didn't make the connection between her wish and his death, instead focusing on shopping with his money. Her father continued to dumpster dive despite now being rich, seemingly because of an addiction to dumpster diving. Clare then wished for a guy she had a crush on to fall “madly in love" with her, rather than just the regular amount of in love. Clare wished to be popular and as such gained some new friends, causing all of her old friends to hate her because she spent a few days with the new ones. Her old friend accused her of being selfish for not wishing for world peace, which is completely correct, but Clare countered that the friend doesn't even believe the box works, which is irrelevant because Clare does. Rather than test the limits of the box by wishing for the box to not kill people or wish for more boxes, Clare continued to let people around her die as a result of her wishing, as her friend dies in an elevator crash (which she tries to avoid by pressing buttons as it falls) and the guy who is madly in love with her cuts himself from his madness. Clare then wishes for her mother's suicide to be undone, which comes at the cost of her dad being killed in a tree-chainsawing accident. Knowing full well that the last wish will result in her own death, Clare chooses not to wait until she is on her deathbed to wish for world peace and instead wishes to go back to when she first found the box, and gives the boy she had a crush on the box and tells him to bury it, no questions asked, not taking into consideration that he might get curious and use the box itself, or that he or she might get suspected of being a criminal for trying to hide a suspicious bag. Clare was then killed by a car, because of course she was, and was thrown by the car 30 feet into another car's windshield. The guy who hit her didn't care at all and kept driving.
