Birth

Born ca. 1790 in New Orleans. On September 21, 1795, she is made into a vampire through the combined efforts of Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt.

Family

Lost mother in the Plague.

Looks

The eternal child of 5 or 6 years of age. Long blond curls, blue eyes. A doll-like beauty.

Claudia has no human conscience or any concept of 'sin,' and perhaps because of this, she is the most monstrous of all the vampires. She cannot possibly understand Louis's human weaknesses, but although she scorns those weaknesses, finding them superfluous to vampiric existence, she accepts them as a rather endearing part of Louis. Being very strong willed (otherwise known as 'spoiled'), Claudia usually manages to obtain anything that her little demon heart desires. Being a girl, her thought processes and emotions are more complicated than a boy's (cf. Armand). In Claudia, we find the deadly combination of a child'd cruelty and an adult woman's sexy, dark and dangerous wiliness.

Fields of Gold
Sting

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
...
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
