yeehaw: Claire Redfield pt. 1

Definitely one of my favorite Resident Evil characters, she is the younger sister of Chris Redfield.

RESIDENT EVIL 2 TIIIIMME

The zombies in this game were infected by the T-virus. There is one B.O.W. infected by the G-virus, a more powerful variation of the T-virus.

Claire was born in 1979, making her six years younger than Chris. When Chris left for the US Air Force, Claire started attending a university. There she took an interest in motorcycles.

In September 1998, Claire rode her motorcycle to Raccoon City to look for her brother, who went missing. When she arrived, the town was infested with zombies and B.O.W.s. She was saved by rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy from a zombie, and after they ran to a police car to get out of the city. A zombie was in the car, causing them to crash. Very shortly after, a zombie truck driver was speeding towards them, so they jumped out, separating from each other. They decided that they would meet at the police station.

((keep in mind that they are separated for 99% of the game))

In the station both Claire and Leon deal with zombies and various B.O.W.s, including Lickers, Cerberuses, Ivy plants, Giant Spiders, a Giant Moth, a Giant Alligator, Mr. X, and William Birkin(infected by the G-virus).

Licker.

Cerberus.

The stages of William Birkin.

Mr. X, over 8 feet tall.

The two have to individually solve multiple puzzles and uncover the truth about Umbrella Corporation.

In the S.T.A.R.S. office, Claire finds Chris' diary, stating that he was no longer in Raccoon City, but in an Umbrella Research facility in Europe. He also writes that he hopes that Claire will forgive him for not telling her sooner. (The two are very close, both of their parents died when they were young.)

While in the station, Claire runs into the corrupt Chief Brian Irons. He had the mayor's daughter's dead body on his desk, telling Claire that she was killed by zombies. When Claire left he hid with the dead body in his basement, which was full of various torture tools. In his diary that Claire finds, he says that he wants to stuff the mayor's daughter's body and make her a trophy. (Also, he was responsible for several of the officers' deaths in the station, hunting them as a game when he went insane.) When Claire goes down to his "torture chamber", she has a short conversation with Irons, when Birkin pulls him into a nearby manhole. He is heard screaming, and then seconds later the top half of his body is tossed back up.

Claire eventually finds Sherry Birkin, daughter of two important researchers Annette and William Birkin. The twelve-year old is at first very afraid of Claire, but then grows to love her. (Claire is very motherly and kind, but she can also be a total badass.)

Claire and Sherry go down into the Umbrella Corporation labs underneath the station. They encounter and fight large B.O.W.s like Mr. X and William Birkin(AKA G-Birkin) multiple times. (Birkin changes form a few times, see above picture with a mutated man with a large eye on his right shoulder)

At one point, Sherry got separated from Claire in the sewers. Unable to protect herself, her father infected her with the G-embryo(G-virus). It did not reject her like it did with Brian Irons, because she was directly related to William thus making her a compatible host. When she and Claire met up again, she experienced extreme stomach pains. Claire found her a safe place to rest(and she gave Sherry her vest) while she looked for a cure.

Claire sees Annette Birkin(who is more involved with Leon S. Kennedy's scenario, but Claire encountered her a few times) one more time, before she is fatally wounded by William. While she was dying, she gave Claire instructions for the cure to the G-virus, called DEVIL. Claire contacted Leon and told him to take Sherry to the train while she made the cure.

She met up with the two again and gave Sherry DEVIL. Just when they thought they'd be safe, William attacked again.

(DEVIL did not actually cure the G-virus in Sherry, but it mutated it and gave Sherry advanced healing powers minus the side effects.)

When Claire finally kills Birkin, the three got on a train out of Raccoon City.

As they were leaving, the underground labs self-destructed.

Right after, a nuclear missile was fired at the city. The President decided that Raccoon was unfixable, and that the T-virus could get out and infect many other towns and cities, so the decision was made. In the end Leon and Claire have to tell young Sherry that her parents were dead. Sherry is later taken into custody by the United States government, where they did tests daily on her mutated G-cells for years. Claire visited her as much as she could after she returned from Anarctica(after the game Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, taking place three months after the destruction of Raccoon City.)
