Added DiffLines:
* ActorSharedBackground: Claire is a bit of a SoapboxSadie, and Nicola herself is known for her activism.
* AdvertisedExtra: She was meant to have a slightly larger role in ''Barbie'', but a schedule conflict meant she almost wasn't able to be in it at all, so they managed a cameo.
* BeautyInversion: A plot point in ''Bridgerton'', where Penelope's mother is intentionally dressing her down.
* BerserkButton: She's said she dislikes having her weight or figure constantly brought up in interviews, preferring that they focus on her work itself. She also slammed a newspaper review of one of her plays that only discussed her weight rather than her performance.

Added DiffLines:
* DyeHard: Naturally blonde and, although she wears a wig for ''Bridgerton'', she dyed her hair red shortly after.
Added DiffLines:
* StarMakingRole: ''Derry Girls'' of course put her on the map. It ended up affecting the third season, where Claire has a reduced role because Nicola was so busy.
