Claire Redfield pt. 2

Claire in Code: Veronica X.                             Claire in the "remake", Darkside Chronicles

So today we shall talk about Resident Evil Code: Veronica X.

Code: Veronica X took place three months after the Raccoon City incident(or three months after RE2, RE3, and RE:Operation Raccoon City). 

During RE2 Claire Redfield had been searching for her brother, Chris Redfield(more about him here, here, and here). In the beginning of Code: Veronica X, Claire had broken into an Umbrella facility in an attempt to find her brother. She was captured and taken to Rockfort Island(a private island owned by Umbrella, containing a prison and a large mansion). A viral outbreak occurred and the island was soon filled with many zombies and large B.O.W.s.

Claire was released from her jail cell by the man that delivered her there, Rodrigo Juan Raval. He had been injured(not infected) so Claire helped him by retrieving medicine for him and giving him her lighter.

She meets a young boy(17 years of age) named Steve Burnside. He was fairly obnoxious and cocky, and would run away from her quite often.

While exploring the island, she gets hunted down and stalked by an Alfred Ashford, owner of the mansion and son of a Umbrella geneticist. 

After uniting and reuniting with Steve multiple times they find an airplane and set off, thinking they are heading to Hawaii. But Alfred redirects the plane to an Umbrella Antarctica Base. The worn out Claire and Steve fall asleep on the plane. They crash-land in the snowy base, and begin to search for another escape. In the base, they encounter Alfred and fight him. He falls in a "crevasse" and supposedly dies. However, he survived the fall and limped to free his sister(Alexia, his twin) from her 15 year long cryogenic sleep(she was in a "coma" for fifteen years so she could adapt to the T-Veronica Virus: see below for more information). She awakens as he dies and soon after she recaptures Claire and Steve. 

She injects Steve with the T-Veronica Virus(created by Alexia Ashford, a product of the Progenitor Virus mixed with some plant genes and possibly ant/bug genes). He mutates and begins to fight Claire, but saves her and gets smashed by a giant tentacle. He transforms back to his former self and tells Claire "I'm glad I met you... Claire... I... love you...".

At around this time Chris(Leon gave him the coordinates of Claire) fights and kills Alexia. He then reunites with his sister again. She sets off a self destruct sequence in the base. They safely evacuate and the game ends.

Claire is one of my favorite characters in this game series. She can be very sweet and maternal(as seen in RE2 and in the movie Resident Evil Degeneration) and also totally badass. She's also sarcastic and good-humored, but still very caring.
