(Pretty good driver, but never forces the issue)<br/><strong>Physical Description</strong>: 5'5", 118 lbs. Black hair (dyed to a light brown). Brown Eyes. Ear, nostril, and navel piercings.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Much unlike her brother, Claire has managed to stay away from the hard life and as a result has an innocent, almost naive outlook on it. She does realize that she has been able to thanks to Christian, however, and is always sure to stay close and available to him should he need her help. His strong sense of loyalty has rubbed off on her; growing up with him and his few friends that have always been around has been easy, making any request for aid a no brainer. Being generous and kind is something that comes naturally to her - almost to a fault. It can at times seem artificial, but accuse her of that and you can very quickly end up in her bad books. <br/><br/>In many respects, Claire is not very far off the mark when it comes to being a typical early twenty-something. If it wasn't for school and the Crew, music would be her number one passion. When Christian was 'out and about' during her childhood, the one thing that Mama Tang actually did in her parental career was enroll her in piano lessons. When stressed or feeling particularly lonely, the young woman turns to playing music, whether it be the piano, the guitar, or just blaring it out of her car or a stereo system. When she wants to get away, she'll often be found in a park or something similar just outside of San Diego. Failing that, she'll just zone out to her iPod and a pair of headphones in a corner of the loft or at her house.<br/><br/>Being on the outside of the Crew, Claire can sometimes feel that she is not as welcome as those that have dedicated themselves to it. An inside joke, far too many car references, and especially talks of drug runs or other illicit activity really puts her off. She knows that the Crew does not shy away from these things and as much as it challenges her own sense of morality, she would never go out of her way to get them into trouble, nor betray them by blabbing to anyone she comes across. She'd sooner die than feel responsible for harming anyone in the Crew.<br/><br/><strong>History</strong>: To anyone except for Claire, her history is rather dark. She was raised in a broken family in a downtown San Diego neighbourhood, due in part to alcohol abuse, incompatible parents, and a brother who quickly found out just how lucrative the other side of the tracks really was. It didn't take long after she turned six for her parents  to unceremoniously split; her father taking off leaving a woman who really wasn't fit to be a parent all alone with two kids. Sounds like a terrible way to start off a life, but between an unmotivated and an older brother with a much keener sense of responsibility than most men, she grew up rather well. Happily living in the shadow of Christian, life up until her teens was rather boring and typical of a kid. Things did, however, get a little funny when she and her mother were beginning to figure out what Christian was doing in his spare time. Claire decided that he knew what was best for all of them and didn't make a big scene about it; not once did she question him about all this money he just happened to be walking into.<br/><br/>Whilst attending public school, Claire had met and became good friends with Liza Lopez, a newcomer to the school. She related to her because she had come from nowhere and would know no one right off the bat. Claire, not one to be a fan of loneliness took the younger girl under her wing, so to speak, introducing her to her brother and just always being around should that lonely feeling creep up. Not quite the best of friends (it would have been hard given the gap), but they stayed close. This, of course, changed when Christian set up his business, where Claire and Liza saw a lot more of each other. You'd rarely see them apart unless they were doing their own projects.<br/><br/>It was here that she also had come close to Piper Adams, a girl who was very much down on her luck. Claire was always weary of the girl thanks to her brash and forward nature, but there was something in that contrast that made them well enough friends. Piper helped Claire develop a stronger mentality, the will to stick up for oneself and not take the worst of someone should they decide to give you hell. Claire taught Piper to be more grounded; that not everything was worth the trouble if you or others are just going to get hurt in the end. Not wanting to fight her father anymore, Piper temporarily moved in with Claire and her mother until she found a place of her own. <br/><br/></span><div class="floatright">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Objects/454972e9.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">It was just at that awkward time in high school where you realize you need to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life did Christian have an altercation that nearly killed him. Being with him the entire time he was recovering was more or less an inspiration to Claire. If she could help it, she was never going to see anyone close to her suffer in such a way. The dream of medical care and nursing was born then.<br/><br/>Present day, Claire keeps busy with school, her occasional placement at a hospital to gain some hands on experience, taking care of a withering mother, and lounging around at the shop to hang around Christian and the others. School and the hospital have taken a backseat thanks to the summer months, though! Piper and Liza are constant fixtures in her visits, along with a certain brown haired, blue eyed, tattooed gentleman, though she'd never admit it openly. <br/><br/><strong>Extra Info</strong>: Claire drives a Subaru Legacy, but it is more of a sleeper car than an out-and-out racer. Though she doesn't have the gizmos, gadgets, and JDM conversions as most people do, it is tricked out enough to get from A to B a little faster than usual. Her pride and joy of the whole vehicle is the sound system she managed to install herself! <br/><br/>Her fashion is more casual, summery, and at times seen as particularly girly depending on her mood. There's no real niche that you can pin her to, as she just wears whatever she likes and feel comfortable in. If there was ever a go to outfit, however, Claire is a huge fan of loose, flimsy blouses with a vibrant coloured tank underneath, along with a pair of often worn jeans and either flip-flops or skater shoes, depending on the day.</span> </div></div>
