Biography
Claire Hastings was born to both her parents and is the older sister of Kale Hastings. Her relationship with her parents were rather complex. Though her relationship with her mother was left to be desired, as she was pushed aside again and again, her relationship with her father was close and loving unlike Kale's relationships with them. When her father, the Police Director of the Burden City Police Department, suddenly disappeared and was presumed dead, it fractured the family.
She emancipated herself from her family when she was old enough to do so. Without looking back, even if she cared for her younger brother, Claire left the city behind in hopes of becoming an independent during her teenage years. She struggled but survived this time. Later in her older years, she became part of a police force in a city, mostly spurred by the disappearance of her father. She rose to the ranks and ended up becoming a detective in due time.
Claire was reassigned back to Burden City and she came back, determined to make amends with her brother for leaving him behind, solve her father's disappearance and presumed death and rid the city of its crimes by finding out who is behind it all.
Physical Appearance
Claire is a noticeably attractive woman, if she 'cleaned up extremely well' and put effort into it. She apparently inherited her good looks from her 'gorgeous parents'. She has shoulder length brown hair that is curly and warm brown eyes. She had fair skin that was tanned and stands at a rather impressive 5 feet and 7 inches. Her physique is toned but slim from her years of work in the police force and possibly exercise. She has a birthmark that on her right knee that somewhat resembles a cat's paw and has a tattoo of a purple iris on her left foot.
Personality
Claire is a serious and determined woman who works and strives to get something done if she can see that it is plausible. She is very ambitious as well, thinking of the bigger picture and willing to do things to get something down. That is,if her strong sense of morals will allow her to do so. She can be harsh or strict when put under pressure or feels angered, but is calm and level-headed the majority of time when she has her temper in check.
She can be gentle and caring when she is willing to show it to people and she likes them enough, like her beloved brother Kale Hastings who she loves too much to simply think she 'likes' him and attempts to act like an older sister with him in hopes of making up for the fact she was missing for a large part of his life.
She is intelligent and has an uncanny ability to connect the dots, for having been possibly the only one to realize that the criminals were afraid of someone (even if given the offer of witness protection). She was the one who theorized that the mysterious person they were afraid of maybe behind all the crimes Burden City has been having for such a long time. She is also proud and certain that she would rather die than succumb to blackmail or threats by others.
