[edit] Character History
Claire was 11 when the first signs of her being not entirely normal became apparent, albeit only to herself. She would hear whisperings, and overwhelming surges of emotion, which she soon discovered to be the feelings of others nearby. At first she thought things fine, and learnt to live with her violent mood swings, until the age of 13, when the feelings became so strong and painful, as if all the pain, anger, and even hate were from her own experiences. This led to her spending the majority of her school days with her head in her books, tryng hard to focus on something else, to ignore the feelings overwhelming her on a daily basis. Things continued this way for a while, until she was 15, and had become the target of the local bullies, always taunting her, and hurting her in more ways than just physical. They caused her to flip, losing control of all the emotions inside her, her own fear, and hurt, mixed up with that of the bullies themselves, and without knowing how she did it, she materialised the negativity, and it flew towards the biggest of the bullies, flooring her and knocking her unconscious, nearly killing her. Scared of what just happened, Claire never went back to school, she saw a private tutor in her own home, and for a while the reduced amount of human contact proved beneficial, her studies went well, gaining her some good grades at exam time, and she felt content..
A few years passed, and she was 17 when the Rikti invasion began.. Everybody was scared, fearful that the invasion would hit close to home. At first, the sense of community-wide fear overtook Claire, causing her to lock herself in her room for days on end, slowly but surely she began to control it, blocking out the fear, and other bad feelings, and recieving only the few positive feelings. The ever present memory of what had happened to her at school lingering in the back of her mind, she decided to try and repeat it. Weeks passed without result, her own negativity never being enough to feed her the power to materialise it, she gave up for now, though it wasn't long before the Rikti came close to home, she was in Birmingham, living with family, something that eased them, when it was invaded. At first she hid, until they were discovered, and despite the powerful mental defences of the Rikti, she felt the negativity strongly from inside each and every one she saw, her family threatened, she materialised the hate once again, striking down a fair number of Rikti, keeping her family safe.
Believing she could make a difference, and although she didn't want to leave her loved ones, she moved to London to help fend off the Rikti invasion where the threat was greatest. It was during one of the many battles she partook in, she realised she could materialise the positive energies, as healing, and proceeded to train her skills in the heat of battle, saving many lives. Once the Rikti had been fought off, she decided she couldn't live back in Coventry anymore, she needed to get used to using her skills, and where better than in Paragon City, the city of heroes?
