History Characters / Claw2024

!Other Characters

[[folder:Josie]]
The Hursts' babysitter.

* {{Fangirl}}: She's a huge fan of Est Tru, a controversial singer. Her reaction to getting tickets to one of her concerts says it all.
--> ''Oh my god what if my parents say no, I'd die. They can't say no! Will they?''
* PhoneaholicTeenager: It's subtle, but she clearly doesn't agree with Ripley's statement that "social media isn't that interesting," even if she follows "some" of Mia's privacy rules.
* PomPomGirl: A cheerleader, but a responsible, studious one who's great with kids, even the rambunctious Tyr.

[[folder:Natalie Teale]]
A mother whose daughter was abducted long before the story starts.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Ripley comments that she jokes with her friends that her gender is "old man in a workshop," and generally prefers masculine clothing.
* MeaningfulRename: In Valentina's internal narration, she remains "Gio" for some time before she finally consciously discards it when she accepts that she will be Valentina in return for Mia's motherly care.

The newly acquired eldest child of the Hurst family, formerly Giovanna "G.C" Cavalcanti.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: In high school, correct rumors that her father was a mob boss destroyed her social life, and Valentina has lasting issues over it, worrying that Ripley's masculine fashion style will lead to social ostracization and wanting to torment the girl she deems responsible for the rumors.

* WouldntHurtAChild: Mia sincerely cares about Ripley and Tyr and even takes the time to worry about a child playing in a neighbor's yard whose mask risks slipping off when a nearby forest fire spreads smoke. Her empathy even extends to her criminal activity. When she participates in a scheme by a man to scam his ex out of money by arranging a ransom of their daughter, she makes the custody of the child so gentle that the latter doesn't even realize that she was "kidnapped" and she [[spoiler:unilaterally decides to help the teenaged Giovanna escape from her father when he tries to force her through Mia and Carson's services.]]

* IfYouOnlyKnew: She bitterly comments that had her daughter not been taken, she wouldn't let her leave the house dressed like a girl she's looking at... [[spoiler:who happens to be Ripley, who is her daughter.]]

* MoralMyopia: Mia is a career criminal who kills casually and without much remorse and [[spoiler:a serial child abductor]], but believes herself to be a good or at least non-evil person. For example, she is severely judgmental towards Natalie Teale for [[spoiler:leaving her child alone in a hot car, endangering the baby, while herself endangering her children by engaging with the murderous criminal underworld.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Mia prefers to work at a remove from her criminal affairs, but when children are involved she will rapidly rework any plans to protect them without concern for her own secrecy, without ever appearing to make the decision to do so.

* TheFace: Acts as this for interactions with clients due to Mia's social anxiety and desire to remain at a remove.

The main viewpoint character of Claw and a criminal contractor responsible for escrow services and helping criminals acquire new identities.

Mia's husband and her partner in crime.

* AffablyEvil: In his first appearance, he comes off as a normal, if a bit overly smooth, person. Not the kind you'd expect [[spoiler:to have people maimed so he can keep them as trophies.]]

* PunnyName: The story is called "Claw" and her name is "''Rip''ley."

The newly acquired eldest child of the Hurst Family, formerly Giovanna "G.C" Cavalcanti.

%%Please do not un-comment out folders without adding tropes.

* MassageOfLove: Prone to massaging Mia's neck.

%%[[folder:Giovanna "G.C." Cavalcanti]]
%%Davie Cavalcanti's daughter.

This is an under-construction list of characters from Literature/Claw2024. While major spoilers are covered, please beware of spoilers if you are not not caught up to the most recent chapter of the web serial. 

* CrazyPrepared: If something can go wrong, Mia's probably planned for it. She's planted surveillance cameras in strategic locations around Camrose and stashed emergency supplies in a safe in an abandoned gas station. The bathroom that she traps Nathaniel in fills up with an odorless poison gas that an inflatable bag placed beneath the door prevents from leaking while the door is inescapable thanks to consisting of two separate layers whose hollow interior is lined with rebar. When the gas is used up she replaces it with an incendiary trap, and that's not even mentioning the explosive hidden in the kitchen counter or the tripwire on the porch!

* SteelEarDrums: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] hard. Firing his weapon inside an enclosed bathroom results in Nathaniel being deafened [[spoiler:and unable to hear Mia's offer to finish him off after his fate becomes inevitable.]]

* SlouchOfVillainy: A subtle one, but Mia notices it.

[[folder:Giovanna "G.C." Cavalcanti]]
Davie Cavalcanti's daughter.

* {{Fangirl}}: Apparently a huge one from Est Tru, a controversial singer. Her reaction to getting tickets to one of her concerts says it all.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Nathaniel comes up with many clever ways to prolong his survival when locked in a sealed bathroom full of poison gas, from using a toilet paper roll to breathe air from a safe location to using the handle of the toilet plunger to lift up the cabinet beneath the sink to make the gas evacuate faster, but all his efforts earn him is prolonged suffering before the gas kills him.]]
