## Biography

### Home Life

Claire's life at home, is what you can call somewhat semi-dysfunctional.

Claire's mother seems pretty normal, she's the Queen of the house and mainly does all the cooking, cleaning, and organizing. She tries her best to maintain a stable life, and make sure her family is happy and safe.

Claire's father, is a network administrator. He has always had a hard time at finding and getting a job, and also keeping one. He seems kinda weird and he's also very wise and gives pretty good advice, he's also pretty much a realist. He doesn't really keep secrets as he seems to say what's on his mind, which is why he's often in a pickle. Claire's father is shown to have a complicated relationship with his youngest daughter, Emily.

Claire's sister, is a young pre-adolescent teenage girl. She is revealed to have a stutter as said by Claire, and she also has an annoying, sarcastic and snappy attitude. Emily is often planting her nose in her family members' business; mainly Claire's.

Even though Claire's family is mildly dysfunctional and strange. They all still seem to have a good time and enjoy each other's company, and they make it clear that they all love each other very much.

### School Life

Claire is kinda like your stereotypical nerdy school girl. She enjoys learning and writing and is very intelligent. She has a couple of friends that she talks to everyday and sits with them at lunch. She has a pretty much normal school life.

## Becoming a Witch

This is where the movie begins. One day, Claire was at school doing a news report on detention she has some camera and script difficulties so she justs starts interviews. In the detention room Claire interviews all the kids, she interviews Brooke Cabot, Mary Jane LaFont, Greta, and Jules. When she gets to Jules, Brooke interrupts and says "- Don't bother. She's new and doesn't talk to anybody. She creeps around being all grim and premenstrual. I hear she worships Satan, too.", Jules then seemingly teleports in front of the camera and introduces herself and tells everybody her zodiac sign and explains she's not new there and was born in New Brunswick.

Jules starts acting like a psychic witch-like person, MJ asks her if she's a scientologist and replies no. Brooke says that trying to be a witch in New Brunswick is like wearing Minnie Mouse Ears at Disney. She then proves she's a witch, and she teaches the girls about magic and they become witches as well, and then they all become friends and form a coven, and the rest of the movie plays from there.
