* AdaptationalJerkass: While the original game depicted Robert as a NiceGuy who offered Leon[=/=]Claire shelter and ammo, the remake portrays him as belligerent, distrustful, and trying to kick Leon out of his shop. While he DID point a gun at the survivors in the original, that was only because he mistook them for a zombie at first. The remake has him be aware that Leon is uninfected from the start and point his gun at him regardless. The remake of ''3'' however has him act similar to his original depiction because he actually knows Jill and offers what he can, despite still being just about as worried of her possibly finding out [[spoiler: his daughter's infection]].

Added DiffLines:

* ActionGirl: She survives a T-virus outbreak more than once, takes out a squad of Umbrella security with a flammable tank, and fights her way through the Rockfort military base and an Umbrella facility in Antarctica. While she might not be as heavily active in combat in comparison to Leon, Chris, Jill, or Ada, working for Terrasave has not dulled any of her combat prowess as shown by [[Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration the Hardvardville Airport outbreak]], [[Anime/ResidentEvilInfiniteDarkness attacking a secret service agent trying to capture her in a motel]], [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2 her attempt to escape from Alex Wesker’s Monument]], and [[Manga/ResidentEvilHeavenlyIsland a zombie outbreak on a South American island]].
* ActionSurvivor: Of all the main characters, she, alongside Ethan Winters, is the only one without any actual military or paramilitary training. It [[BadassNormal doesn't matter]]; she [[IHaveBrothers has a brother]].
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the original game she freaks out when she’s surrounded by zombies in the diner she walked into, but aside from that, she never really shows much signs of fear. In the ''[=RE2=]'' section of ''Darkside Chronicles'' and the remake, she’s much more vocal about how horrified she is. In the remake she swears up a storm whenever enemies lunge at her and futilely begs Mr. X to stay back when he power walks toward her.
* AdaptationalModesty: Though her classic Biker outfit is still in the remake [[AndYourRewardIsClothes as an unlockable costume]], it's replaced with blue jeans and a long-sleeved red leather jacket (not unlike her outfit from ''Revelations 2'') to better reflect the sort of clothing a motorcyclist would realistically wear.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Claire in the remake of ''2'' is noticeably more flirty, chipper, HotBlooded and snarky, in stark contrast to her original portrayal as a rather dour, humorless young woman.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Her dynamic with Leon has noticeably more [[ShipTease romantic undertones]] in the remake of ''[=RE2=]'' than in the original game, [[ObliviousToLove though it’s mostly just flirting on Claire’s part]]. Played up better in ''Infinite Darkness'' where Leon also starts flirting back and even teases Claire about having a dinner date sometimes.

%%* BadassInANiceSuit: Her alternate outfit in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheMercenaries3D''.
%%* BadassInDistress: A few occasions in ''Code Veronica''.
* BadassNormal: She's the only one with no professional training, yet still manages to fight zombies as well as the rest. Although, according to ''The Darkside Chronicles'', [[IHaveBrothers her brother did give her some basic training]]. Still pretty badass, given everything she can do.
* BareYourMidriff: Her most well known outfit in ''Code: Veronica'' has a black t-shirt that shows off her stomach. She is also the only main character in the series to wear an outfit like this as her default outfit. (Minus Party Girl since the game she's in isn't canon to the series.) As well as a few of her bonus outfits. (Such as the biker outfit in ''2'', her alternate battle game outfit also in Code Veronica, her biker outfit in ''Darkside Chronicles'' and her cowgirl outfit in ''Revelations 2''.) She does this again in the Heavenly Island Manga via tying the shirt in a knot at the side.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's warm and compassionate, loves children, wouldn't hesitate to put her life on the line to help others, and is the only main character to take the civilian route in her fight against bioterrorism, working for an NGO that focuses on legal measures, non-violent protest, and helping victims. She's also just as capable of kicking ass as the military-trained characters, knocked a U.S. senator flat with a slap for endangering then insulting a child she was protecting, and has the highest on-screen human body count of the protagonists.
* BellyButtonless: In Code Veronica, her outfit [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]], but she does not have a visible belly button. Averted in later games where her bonus outfits show her stomach. (Plus, in the comic adaptation of ''Code Veronica'', sometimes a belly button can be seen on her.)
%%* BrainyBrunette: Well, she's more of a redhead than a brunette, but she's quite intelligent still.
* BreakTheBadass: Near the end of ''Code: Veronica'', after the death of Steve, the normally tough and cool Claire becomes a crying, helpless mess.
* BrotherSisterTeam: As a gameplay feature, she and her brother Chris team up very briefly in ''Darkside Chronicles'' and within the ''Mercenaries 3D'' side game.
* TheBusCameBack: Sort of. While she has appeared often in non-canon games like ''Mercenaries 3D'' and was the co-star of the ''Degeneration'' film, ''Revelations 2'' is Claire's first appearance in a game in ''fifteen years'' that isn't an explicit retelling of either the Raccoon City incident (''[=RE2=]'') or the Rockfort Island incident (''Code Veronica'').
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Her retiring from an active role in fighting bioterrorism didn't necessarily mean the action would never come to her. The events of ''Degeneration'' and ''Revelations 2'' have shown that when trouble is out looking for Claire, it knows ''exactly'' where to find her.
* CartwrightCurse: Romance doesn't come up often for Claire, but when it does, it always ends ''terribly'': in fact, the only two men who she's been involved with on her adventures who haven't come to horrible ends have been her brother Chris, and Leon Kennedy, who she seems to maintain a platonic friendship with.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'', Steve is nursing a blatant crush on Claire throughout the game. [[spoiler:He gets turned into a monster by Alexia and then killed saving her, resulting in him DyingAsYourself.]]
** In ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration'', [=WilPharma=] Head Researcher Frederic Downing flirts with Claire during their time together midway through the film. [[spoiler:He turns out to have been behind the outbreaks in order to secretly drum up interest for both the T- and G-Viruses and his newly invented antivirals on the black market.]]
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2'', it is implied that Claire has a crush on Neil Fisher, something that Moira teases her for. [[spoiler:It turns out Neil is a double agent working for Alex Wesker and sent everyone to the island to be experimented on. After being betrayed by Alex and transforms into a B.O.W., Neil is put down by both Claire and Moira]].
* CassandraTruth: In ''Code Veronica'', Alfred accuses Claire of sending "her people" to attack Rockford Island, even though she insists that she had nothing to do with it. Alfred doesn't buy it and spends the rest of the game trying to kill her without knowing that [[spoiler: Wesker was the one behind the attacks]].
* CelibateHero: Claire has no official romantic entanglements, and by the time of the later games it's implied she may be partially MarriedToTheJob, spending all her time focusing on working for Terra Save rather than dating. On the few occasions when she does seem to have found someone, [[CartwrightCurse it never works out]].
%%* TheChick: Though don't assume she's helpless for it.
* ColourCodedCharacters:
** Once again, she's always dressed in some shade of maroon-pink, even if ''Code: Veronica'' took it a bit father towards red.
** Red has a far stronger case as her signature color: While the rendered pictures of her character model in the original ''[=RE2=]'' might have her outfit looking maroon, her in-game rendering is clearly red, her outfit was always red in development and appears that way in her comic appearances and in her action figures, her vest in ''Code Veronica'' is clearly red, her undershirt in ''Degeneration'' is red, and both her present and future outfits in ''Revelations 2'' feature red. Her vest during ''[=RE2=]'' was re-designed for ''Darkside Chronicles'' and now looks distinctively red, and it's still red in her appearances in ''Mercenaries 3D'' and ''Operation Raccoon City''. Finally, her appearance in the ''Resident Evil 2 Remake'' features a very red leather jacket, and the game's rendering of her classic ''[=RE2=]'' outfit shows it is red. And of course, there's the fact her hair is reddish-brown in most incarnations.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Jill Valentine. Both are the main playable female character for their respective games. But while Jill was an experienced police officer and former soldier, Claire is a civilian whose combat skills are due to training from her brother Chris. While Jill typically wears blue, Claire's outfits are usually red.
* CoolGuns:
** Claire wields the conventional Browning Hi-Power Mk. III, which she takes from the glovebox of an RPD police cruiser, and in the trunk of another in the remake. Other RPD officers also use the HP as their sidearm, so it's assumed that's the issued firearm for on-duty officers (whereas S.T.A.R.S. members specifically use customized Beretta [=92FS=] handguns). She is seen using it in the intro to Code Veronica, but when she is captured, it is confiscated from her. She later picks up a Beretta [=M93R=] off a dead body, which is both a rare gun and a cool one, especially once she finds a folding stock for it and enables burst-fire mode.
** The remake of the second game changes her default weapon to a five-shot short-barrel revolver, that later can be customized to shoot high-power (read: Magnum) rounds. Despite the seeming downgrade from a semi-automatic handgun (which she ''does'' potentially get later), she still makes it look cool.
* DeadpanSnarker:
** Of the four main protagonists, Claire is the only one who's really capable of effective, non-groanworthy humor. It gets ten times funnier if you compare her comment from ''Darkside Chronicles'' that she hates cockroaches.
---> '''Claire:''' (on the Tyrant in ''Code Veronica'') Just a big cockroach that needed to be stepped on.
** Her reaction to seeing Mr. X break a camera with a punch in the remake?:
---> '''Claire:''' Bet he's not part of the rescue squad...
* DejaVu: She starts ''Revelations 2'' the same way she started ''Code Veronica'', getting captured, knocked unconscious, (only this time she's injected instead of getting [[TapOnTheHead whacked on the head with a rifle butt]]) and waking up in a jail cell with no weapons.
* DoomMagnet: One of the files in ''Code Veronica'' refers to her as a "goddess of destruction," and it shows. Claire still has the highest baseline-human body count of any of the protagonists, and her adventures tend to come hand in hand with immense amounts of property damage.
* EasilyForgiven: She doesn't blame Steve at all when he accidentally breaks a pipe containing toxic gas (this happened while he was distracted looking at her while her back was turned to him) and instead reassures him that they will escape from there together.
* ExposedToTheElements: Given what she's wearing in ''Code Veronica'', she ends up in a pretty cold place, Antarctica. But doesn't complain about it since she's got other things to worry about. Plus, she also probably had no idea she'd end up in Antarctica in the first place.
* {{Flashback}}: In ''Code: Veronica'', after being hit on the head after arriving to Rockfort Prison, there is a flashback of her infiltrating Umbrella's Paris Lab, so this is probably a dream she's having while she is unconscious on the floor of the prison.
* FriendToAllChildren: She's great with children and ''very'' protective of them. Oddly, this trait was seemingly forgotten in ''Revelations 2'' where the normally motherly Claire overwhelms poor Natalia with questions, though this may have just been a convenience to show that Moira is also very good with children.
* GirlyBruiser: [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Likes the color]] {{pink|MeansFeminine}}, wears makeup, has a strong {{ma|maBear}}ternal [[FriendToAllChildren streak]], is more openly emotional than most of the female cast, and doesn't like spiders and cockroaches. Still, of the major female characters Claire has the most rough-and-tumble fighting style.
%%* GoodBadGirl: During her time in college, she had several boyfriends and played the field.
* GunsAkimbo: She's the first protagonist to dual-wield in the franchise, with the mechanic introduced in ''Code Veronica'' with a specific pair of guns. She can target a single enemy with both guns, or fire at two enemies at the same time.
* HandicappedBadass: In ''Degeneration'', she is injured in the leg by a shard of glass after the explosion at Wilpharma's research dome, giving her a limp until the very end of the movie, but she still manages to hold her own against zombies.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Though not as obviously sexualized as some other characters, her beauty is noted repeatedly in supplemental materials in-game and out. It quite literally turns Steve Burnside’s head at (unfortunately) rather important moments in both ''Code: Veronica'' and ''The Darkside Chronicles''. It also leaves Chris’s BSAA squad speechless when she is introduced to them, as they had expected instead a female Chris. Much like Jill, her beauty is dialed up to 11 in the 2019 remake due to the use of an actual fashion model for her likeness.
%%* HeroicBSOD: She breaks down crying in ''Code Veronica'' when Steve dies. Again when her partner Inéz Diaco dies in ''Heavenly Island''.
* HollywoodBeautyStandards: Claire is far more beautiful than her respective backstory requires. This is even more pronounced in the 2019 remake with Capcom's choice of fashion model Jordan Mcewen as her likeness model.
* HowDareYouDieOnMe: In ''Code: Veronica'', she tells Chris he better not die on her.
-->'''Claire:''' You HAVE to make it! Don't die on me!
%%* IconicOutfit: Both her ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 RE2]]'' and ''Code Veronica'' outfits.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Leon and Claire are the main characters of the second game, but they are easily the most memorable main characters after Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.
* ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:Following the ''Good Ending'' path in ''Revelations 2'', Claire cuts off her ponytail before returning to the island to help Barry. She regrows it back at the time she is called to investigate Sonido de Tortuga Island in Heavenly Island, revealed to be one of Alex Wesker’s old testing sites]].
%%* ISurrenderSuckers: And then she blew up an entire squad.
%%* IWillFindYou: Claire's major story arc.
* LadySwearsALot: The remake gave her quite the potty mouth compared to Leon. Justified due to the high-stress situation she's found herself in.
%%* LampshadeHanging: "Never saw this coming."
* MaleGaze: The camera likes to focus on Claire's behind sometimes, like in one scene in ''Darkside Chronicles'', where the camera views Claire from behind, and moves down a bit to emphasize and show her backside. It's revealed to be from Steve's POV, as he was definitely checking her out.
* MamaBear:
** Between Sherry from ''[=RE2=]'' and Rani from ''Degeneration'', Claire is very protective of children, even if she has none of her own.
** Not only did she dive into a group of zombies to save Rani, but she proceeded to ''bitch-slap'' a standing United States Senator for endangering Rani in the first place, especially after he admits he [[ChildHater hates children]] and finds them "[[ChildrenAreAWaste a real pain in the ass.]]"
--->'''Claire:''' Bastard! That little girl will probably have nightmares for the rest of her life because of you!
* MarriedToTheJob: Her work for Terra Save keeps her so busy that it’s hard for her keep in touch with the loved ones she doesn’t work with, much less start a romantic relationship. In ''Degeneration'', when she jokingly blames her tiredness on a new boyfriend that won’t let her sleep, her friend immediately catches that “boyfriend” means “FDA report”.
* MartialPacifist: After ''Code: Veronica'', Claire has given up actively fighting against bio weapon outbreaks to work with an NGO that focuses on helping its victims. As ''Degeneration'' shows, when push comes to shove, she's still entirely capable of kicking zombie ass. Even if she has taken a non-combat role, she's obviously stayed in shape and she's kept up her weapons skills. At one point near the end of ''Degeneration'', she manages to score three consecutive headshots on the move in a dark hallway.
* MsFanservice: Some of her bonus outfits are pretty revealing, mostly consisting of [[BareYourMidriff Bare midriff outfits.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction in ''Degeneration'' when she discovers that Terra Save had been bullying and criticizing [=WilPharma=] when they had in fact been developing a T-virus vaccine. Subverted, as it turns out later in the film that they really ''are'' corrupt.
* NiceGirl: Out of the four most recurring protagonists in the franchise, Claire has been shown to be the most outwardly kindhearted and selfless person, taking care of Sherry, saving Rodrigo's life (even though he was the reason she was involved in the Rockfort Island and Antarctica Incidents); also, comforting Steve after he is forced to kill his zombified father. While she has gained some cynicism over the years, Claire remains as compassionate as she has ever been.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If she is played in the A scenario in the remake, she accidentally distracts the sheriff who was restraining a zombie, allowing the zombie to overpower and kill him. Oops.
* NoGearLevel: Claire starts both ''Code: Veronica'' and ''Revelations 2'' in a jail cell with no weapons.
* NonLethalKO: She is knocked unconscious on several occasions. Notably in the intro to ''Code: Veronica'' when a guard hits her on the head with the butt of his rifle. (Interestingly, just before it fades to the flashback of her running through the facility, she is seen trying to keep her eyes open before losing consciousness. Trying to stay awake.)
%%* [[OneManArmy One-Woman Army]]: She most certainly raised hell in the beginning of ''Code: Veronica.''
* ParentalAbandonment: Claire reveals to Sherry in the 2019 remake of ''Resident Evil 2'' that "both of [her] parents are gone" and that it's just her and Chris. (This was also stated in the novel series, where when they were both still kids their father was killed on his construction job, and three years prior to the events of the ''[=RE2=]'' novel, their mother was killed in a car accident.)
* ParentalSubstitute: The files in ''Resident Evil 6'' mention that she spent a lot of time with Sherry while the latter was in government custody, to the point where Sherry regards Claire as her foster mother. Which is heartwarming.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: To [[spoiler:Neil]] in ''Revelations 2'', who has just mutated into an enormous monster before her eyes, which is ''easily'' three times her size:
--> [[spoiler:'''Neil:''']] The whole world will be saved...
--> '''Claire:''' You better hope someone saves ''you!''
* PrecisionFStrike: She lets out a really big one in the remake after Irons handcuffs and beats her after kidnapping Sherry. The subtitles is even in all caps, showing just how pissed she is.
--> I'LL GET YOU, YOU FUCKER!
* ProperlyParanoid: Files in ''[=RE6=]'' reveal that she was suspicious of [[spoiler:Simmons]] and sent a letter to Sherry warning her to be wary of him, which never made it to her. She's proven to be completely right.
* RedIsHeroic: She wears a red vest in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Code: Veronica]]'' and a red leather jacket in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2 Revelations 2]]''; in both games, she's the primary protagonist.
* RedOniBlueOni:
** The red to Leon's blue. It's even in their color scheme! A good example of this dynamic would be their reactions to fighting G3. Leon is apprehensive at having to fight another boss while Claire voluntarily does it to save Sherry's life.
** She's much more composed as the years pass on as seen in ''Revelations 2'', where she acts as the level-headed, and experienced blue compared to Moira's profanity-spewing, panicking red. This is actually rather important in the plot as [[spoiler:Claire's composure keeps her from fully becoming afraid while Moira does reach the danger level]].
* RetiredBadass: As mentioned above, she's retired from fighting bioterror outbreaks with guns. Hand her a gun though, and you see why she's a survivor of Raccoon City.
* SeriesMascot: She shares this trope alongside Leon, Jill, and Chris as she has appeared in a number of games, spin-offs and sub materials, being one of the most iconic characters in the franchise.
* SiblingYinYang: While Chris is a serious and dutiful soldier, she is a playful and snarky civilian. What they do have in common is hotheaded recklessness and a tendency to get themselves in way over their heads.
* ShipperOnDeck: She is the teaser towards Leon in ''The Darkside Chronicles'' to go after Ada after going in the sewers.
* ShipTease: With Steve in ''Code Veronica'' and Neil in ''Revelations 2''. [[spoiler:Nothing comes of either relationship]]. She also has some with Leon in the 2019 remake of ''Resident Evil 2''.
* ShoutOut:
** Her ''[=RE2=]'' vest says "Made in Heaven" and her ''Code: Veronica'' vest says "Let Me Live". Those are both titles of Music/{{Queen}} songs.
** She may share the same taste in music as her brother, since one of his alternate outfits also says "Made in Heaven".
* TankTopTomboy: Claire in the ''[=RE2=]'' remake is left with just her tank top after giving her jacket to Sherry towards the end.
* TapOnTheHead: ''Code Veronica'' and beyond, she seems to get knocked unconscious a lot. To the point it's surprising that she doesn't have brain damage by now.
* TenderTears: Claire wears her heart on her sleeve and has been shown to cry over the deaths of others such as Annette Birkin in the [=RE2=] remake and Steve Burnside in Code Veronica and the betrayal of Neil Fisher in Revelations 2.
%%* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: In the opening of ''Code: Veronica''.
* TomboyishPonytail: Her signature hair style, compared to the short styles most of the other heroines wear.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Claire likes to ride motorcycles, wear denim shorts, and is a skilled fighter and marksman. However, she is also scared of bugs (especially cockroaches and spiders) and hunters, is very motherly, and fond of the color pink.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: An [[BonusMaterial email]] sent to her by Piers apologizes for the awkward first meeting between Claire and her brother's [=BSAA=] team. He explains that they were expecting some kind of jacked-out BrawnHilda to match Chris's ridiculous build, and instead were shocked at their captain's sister being 'hot'.
* WeGottaStopMeetingLikeThis: At the end of her 2nd Run in the remake, [[spoiler:when the persistent William Birkin/G charges after her and the others at their final battle, we get this exchange]]:
-->'''Claire:''' We really got to stop meeting like this.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Her reaction upon seeing the giant spiders in the retelling of ''Resident Evil 2'' of ''Darkside Chronicles''.
%%* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: In ''Degeneration''.
