Personality: Claudia is the quintessential young, sassy teammate who also happens to be a super genius. She is especially talented with technological things, computers and hacking, but her real awesomeness is her ingenuity. Creative and a fast thinker, Claudia's inventions save the day and people's lives time and time again. She's always thinking outside the box, coming up with solutions in the midst of a crisis. She's not exactly cool under pressure, but rarely panics. When she's not inventing Claudia is improving something, tinkering and experimenting. She is very proud of her skills, this being the one area in which she's confident and driven, always wanting to prove herself. In social situations she's generally sort of awkward, having very limited experience with being out in the real world doing normal people things. 

Generally speaking Claudia is high energy and needs to always be doing something. While hunting artifacts is very exciting, she's curious and mischievous enough that during downtime she plays around with the ones that are in the Warehouse. Artie, her boss and father figure, tries very hard to discourage her from thinking the artifacts are toys. Not all of them have dangerous downsides -- in fact, the agents sometimes use the harmless ones during missions -- but he also disapproves of her using them for fun or convenience like using the snow globe to make her drinks cold. Claudia used to be a real pain to him, doing typical teenage 'and then she did it anyway' sort of things, but she's become more responsible over the course of the series. Still, she's headstrong and stubborn as all hell, and once she makes up her mind what's the best course of action she can't be dissuaded. She's also sassy and snarky, and greatly enjoys teasing her coworkers (especially Artie). She's very expressive and uses quirky expressions unique to her -- unperturbed by the 'no really what are you even saying' looks she sometimes gets. While she does take situations seriously as necessary, shifts in her manner are usually subtle. Her tone and body language will change, but the quirkiness and wisecracks just keep coming. It's part of her charm.

The Warehouse team becomes a close-knit group; soon after joining Claudia considers the Warehouse her home and the team her family. She would do literally anything for them, heedless of risks and potential dangers to himself. Much like she risked her life to save her brother from a pocket dimension he resurrects her teammate and best friend against the Warehouse authority’s orders and the fact that she could die herself in the attempt. She used to hold grudges but after all she's been through her love seems fairly unconditional these days, as indicated by her welcoming back agents who have previously harmed her/the warehouse/its agents. She doesn't trust easily, after all, and if someone works their way into her heart they will always have a place there. Even if there's some baggage to work through.


Similarly, Claudia is unbelievably loyal and never gives up on anyone or anything. She shows the 'I'm never giving up' attitude in everything she does, even when everyone around her has given up, but especially when it involves her loved ones. With Joshua and Steve alike, she was going to save them or die trying. She also no longer doubts the integrity of people she loves, just wants to help them find their way back to her. The job of a Warehouse agent is also, by its nature, about protecting people, and Claudia is devoted to her job.

Powers/Abilities: Claudia is, for the most part, only human -- all her abilities are specific to the Warehouse/artifacts and at her canon point are largely unknown to her.

Inventory: If tech/artifacts are okay, Claudia has a bunch of stuff she generally carries with her! I'm fine with the non-tech artifacts (marked with a star) being inactive in this setting.

- Mini-Tesla: an invention of Claudia's based on standard Teslas, electricity-based handgun that can go from stun to kill, and on higher settings erase a person's (very) short term memory. Claudia's miniaturized version recharges itself.
- Tesla Grenade: an invention of Claudia's mimicking the Tesla's effect that shocks multiple targets at once. Rechargeable.
- Electro-Cuffs: an invention of Claudia's that deliver a stunning shock when a handheld trigger device is pressed.
- Farnsworth: this won't function at all, but is the secure communication device used by Warehouse agents to communicate in the field.

- *Freezing Snowglobe: produces a shower of icy air that freezes anything it touches.
- *Password Decoder: a cryptographic device used to bypass electronic entry systems requiring a password or some type of alpha-numeric code for access.
- *Reflex Hammer: causes violent tremors when tapped on a joint, causing objects to shake themselves apart.

And some mundane items that I don't expect will need any approval:

- a multitool
- a lighter
- several guitar picks
- artifact-safe neutralizer gloves
- artifact-safe neutralizer bags

Anything Else? (???)
