Claire Bennet's Relationships

Family

For better or worse, these are those she is related to, by law or by blood.

Person

Description

Claire is a daddy's girl, and while their relationship is not perfect, it is one of mutual trust and love. The two have been through quite a bit and they will always have some conflict — partially because Claire is rather like her father in quite a lot of ways, even if they aren't from the same gene pool. Like Noah, she can be stubborn and keep secrets when she has to, though she'd rather be honest.

---

Super mom! Sandra has evolved along with Claire in her own way, from a stay-at-home mom who did everything a mom should for her child — bake sales and boosters and valentine's day parties and the like — to a strong woman determined to help protect her daughter from the woes of a world that would harm Claire and use her for being different. She can't protect her much of the time, but it doesn't stop her from trying.

---

Claire's kid brother. The two have the typical sibling relationship of goods and bads, fights and hugs. Since Claire's power became known, he might have a touch of the sibling rivalry, but she envies him for his normalcy.

---

Her biological father. Their relationship has gone from awkward to flat out bad, thanks to the fact that he shot her in the chest and harvested her blood for his own personal use — but that's all in the past now. She hasn't quite forgiven him for all of it, but she knows he's a different person now and is trying to move past their very troubled history.

---

Her biological mother. While the woman seemed initially to be more receptive to Claire's existence, she lied to Claire about her father and God only knows what else. Then she took the money that Nathan offered and skipped off to Mexico without much in the way of goodbyes. This has done to help the relationship. At all. Maybe someday that will change. Claire holds little hope for it.

---

Peter is the only Petrelli that actually feels like family to Claire. He's saved her life more than once and he doesn't treat her like some dumb kid who doesn't know anything. She trusts Peter and wants to help him in his quest to save the world — she just isn't sure how to go about it.

---

Grandmother. Not that Claire would ever call Angela that. She doesn't trust the woman much — perhaps because Angela tried to keep Nathan and Claire from ever meeting, and because the woman is affiliated with the Company. Still, she is blood and she can help protect Claire, so the young woman isn't ready to turn her back on the matriarch of the Petrellis.

---

The fifth member of the Bennet clan, Mr. Muggles is a pomeranian who has done his part to protect Claire — mostly by being a yappy ankle biter.

Friends and More

More

Archie Wheeler, tall, dark, and adorable — at least in Claire's mind. Her "boss" at the Food Court, she feels like this boy is someone she can be normal with — he at least doesn't know she's abnormal. She's not sure what will happen when that changes, as it inevitably will, but she will cross that bridge when she comes to it. For now, he's "fun" and definitely fits in the "more" category.

---

Friends

Randall was one of the few people she got to know at the safehouse while in hiding from Alpha Protocol. A nice guy, he offered friendship to Claire, though the two had quite a few awkward moments together. Her own problems kept him at arm's length, but through no fault of his own.

---

Peter's girlfriend and fellow safehouse "inmate," Daphne is one of the few people Claire knows she can trust even if they don't know one another all that well.

Heroes

Friends and allies of all shapes and sizes. Heroes can be ordinary or extraordinary!

Person	Description
Zachary Moyer	The guy who became the only person to know her secret in Odessa, Zach is Claire's best friend. By some huge cosmic coincidence, they rediscovered each other in New York City. Honest, creative, fun-loving, and supportive, he freely offers a great many things that Claire needs in what might otherwise be a suckhole of angst and barely held off despair.

---

The Haitian

The former full-time partner to Noah Bennet, this mysterious man has defied her father in the past and allowed her to keep her memories when Noah ordered them erased. Summoned by a set of wind chimes set in the window, he has found a way to remain a trusted ally and friend to her, too. It was he who helped her orchestrate two escapes from her confinement at a Company facility, the latter of which led to her gaining her freedom after months of captivity. She doesn't know much about him, but she trusts him. Sometimes that's enough.

Yatta! More to come…

Villains

Person	Description
	He wanted her power and came for it more than once — finally succeeding. The fact that he is as hard to kill as she is frightens her — for the sake of the world if not herself. After all, it's hard to kill her. Somehow she didn't die, and now can no longer feel pain for some reason — both a curse and a blessing. He's apologized, but of course she will never fully trust him.

---

Elle Bishop, cosmic bitch supreme. The blonde electrokinetic is Claire's nemesis. Bob Bishop allows his daughter to work as an agent, but rarely gives her even a fraction of the love and approval she desperately seeks. Noah Bennet doesn't let Claire do anything with her powers most of the time, but he loves and protects her. Claire hates Bob; Elle hates Noah. When put together in the same room, the daughters' polar opposite natures do nothing but bad things. They can't stand each other, and that's putting it mildly. They really tend to think of each other as fairly expendable, by Elle moreso than Claire — a fact not lost on the Bennet girl.

---

This insane woman kept her captive and used her blood. Claire's father rescued her and now Mandy is is a dark hole — hopefully forever. What goes around comes around!
