Clara

**Clara** is one of the people trapped in the Town who lives in Colony House.

## Biography

### Season One

After Donna explains the situation to Jade Herrera, he believes that he is in an elaborate escape room. Jade runs outside and finds Clara, who is passing by with her bicycle. Jade grabs the bicycle and pedals away, leaving a surprised Clara behind.

Clara survives the Creatures' attack on Colony House. Afterwards, she and two other Colony House residents are temporarily resettled in the Liu home. When they arrive with Kenny, Jade objects and asks how long they are staying. Clara recalls how Jade thought the Town was a giant escape room and asks how that is going for him. Jade insists that they don’t belong in Town. He then asks where Victor is, and Clara remembers seeing him run into the woods with Julie Matthews during the attack, and Jade leaves to find him.

Clara attends the assembly of the radio tower. After it is placed upright on the roof, Jim turns it on, and informs them that they have a signal, and hugs his family in joy. However, their joy is cut short when Clara points out the approaching storm clouds. After the storm arrives, Jim sends everyone inside while he, Donna and a few others operate the radio. After Jim runs off, Donna returns inside, and the lamps powering the radio explode, sending shards of glass everywhere.

### Season Two

The lightbulbs in Colony House continue exploding, and Clara is hit in the left eye. Kristi tends to her, and removes the shards of glass from her face. After she recovers and gets an eyepatch, she finds Jade and asks him if they made “it” angry. Clara explains to Jade that the storm emerged from nowhere and the lights exploded, almost as if they made the place angry, and asks what they do now. Jade replies that he has one rolling paper left, so he is going to get stoned and Clara leaves.

When Victor returns to his room in Colony House, Clara tells Victor that she is glad that he is ok, but Victor asks if anyone was in his room. Clara says she saw Jade and Ethan in the room the previous night.

As a result of the bus passengers' arrival and their move to Colony House, the food supply is stretched thin. Dale accuses Elgin of stealing food, and tries to order the bus passengers to leave in the middle of the night at knifepoint. Ellis tries to restrain him, but as Dale turns he accidentally stabs Ellis in the side. Fatima and Bakta help him to a couch, while Clara fetches them towels and they attempt to put pressure on the wound. However, his condition worsens, and Fatima decides to take him to the Clinic, and posts lookouts in the windows to ensure that the path to the van is clear. Clara reports that it looks safe, but Matthias notices a Creature 50 yards away and drawing closer. Elgin then makes a run for it to the van and picks up Fatima and Ellis at the entrance before driving away.

Clara is present when Reggie arrives informing everyone of Paula's death and searching for Donna Raines. Fatima says that she isn’t inside, and Kristi adds that she last saw her at the Clinic hours ago, and she was supposed to go to the house after. Reggie worries that they are all going to die, and Fatima steps up and tells him to relay Boyd’s instructions. Reggie says that no one can go to sleep, and Fatima steps up and says they will focus on following instructions while Boyd and Donna get themselves sorted. Fatima takes Reggie to change his clothes and tells everyone to partner up to make sure they don’t fall asleep. Bakta asks how long, and Fatima answers that they will figure that out later.

Later that night, a grief-stricken Reggie runs around in a panic shaking people, telling them not to go to sleep and that nothing can protect them. Clara watches as Ellis and Fatima try to calm him down, but Reggie pushes Ellis down. Elgin restrains him as Fatima tries in vain to calm him as Reggie tells everyone that they are all going to die. Ellis orders Elgin to bring Reggie upstairs, and Elgin drags the screaming Reggie upstairs. When Donna and Boyd Stevens return, Clara and the others crowd around them with questions. Bakta asks how long they have to stay awake, and Meredith asks why this is happening. Donna tells everyone to  calm down and that they know they are scared but are trying to figure it out. In the meantime, they should listen to Boyd’s instructions. Jim tries to sneak past the distracted door guard and leave to get back to his family. Boyd tells him that opening the door puts everyone at risk but Jim says they are always at risk. Jim continues to struggle with the guard until both he and Boyd draw their guns on Jim. Kristi then calls for help, and Boyd leaves to help her while Donna pushes the crowd back.
