"She hangs the headless Upside down to drain"
THE ABC’S OF CLAUDIA
A[/color]LFRED HITCHCOCK. A British director who pioneered the suspense and psychological thriller genres. Claudia certainly has an almost voyeuristic quality to her, almost making a lifestyle out of watching others. She finds people repulsive but interesting and enjoys studying them from afar. While it isn’t a sexual interest of hers, her general aura and appearance makes it seem like it is. Claudia is an observer by nature, she can’t help that about herself.
B[/color]ELA LUGOSI. Best known for playing Count Dracula. Her celebrity crush.
C[/color]EMETERIES. Where the dead are buried. If there ever is a time when Claudia is stressed or upset you’ll find her in a cemetery, most likely strolling along the headstones or sitting against one of the crypts. They are incredibly soothing to her, able to instantly calm her knowing that she can never truly be alone whenever she is there. She likes to talk to the spirits she finds there, about their lives and their deaths or whatever little they remember. She tries to help them but more often than not they are beyond her assistance. She has more dead friends than living ones.
D[/color]READ. A short story about film students who record people talking about their greatest fears. Despite trying her best to seem like such a rock hard person Claudia is a very fear filled person. While she isn’t afraid of death, decay or dead bodies she is afraid of things like clowns, the unknown, heights, trains, and snakes. She scares rather easily, one of those people who will always jump and scream when you sneak up on her.
E[/color]DGAR ALLAN POE. A writer known for his dark themes. Her favourite author and someone Claudia is incredibly inspired by. She writes short stories in her spare time and hopes she is but a fraction as skilled as he was. If not for a rather low pain tolerance she would get a quote from him tattooed on her somewhere.
F[/color]REDRICK CHOPIN. A composer known for his darker music and misanthropy. Her favorite composer. She’s a major fan of classical music but Chopin is her favorite for his darker melodies.
G[/color]INGER SNAPS. Two teenage sisters obsessed with death become lycanthropes. Claudia has a more optimistic view of death than most of society. This peculiar trait of hers has gotten a lot of negative attention from her peers. Her obsession with murder, decay, pain, mixed with her mother’s profession of owning a funeral home doesn’t exactly have her as a fan favorite. She is quite comfortable with death and this makes her appear creepy. She is well aware of what happens after people die so she has no fear of it. No sadness towards the death of a loved one. Why should she feel sad when she knows first hand that they are still around?
H[/color]ELLRAISER. The opening of a puzzle box brings hell to unsuspecting victims. Claudia has always been a fan of puzzles, be them physical or mental. She strongly prefers mind games though and plays them often. Not to say that she’s very good at manipulating people, she isn’t. She’s better at mind games when they are in an actual game.
I[/color]NSIDIOUS Proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects: "the insidious effects of stress". The name of her tarantula, which she had to leave at home. She misses him.
J[/color]OSHUA HOFFINE. A horror photographer. To her, creepy is beautiful. She’s always known that she wasn’t like everyone else and while she used to be self conscious of that Claudia now invites her weirdness. She has taken the works of Joshua Hoffine and Diane Arbus and applied them to her everyday life, celebrating her uniqueness and making herself beautiful in her morbid ways. While her confidence is rather low still, she has started learning to adore her big eyes and her other worldly air.
K[/color]ATY TOWELL. The creator of Childrin R Skary books and videos. Katy and Claudia share a lot in common, a love for children’s ghost stories and misfit characters. Claudia, herself, seems like a character from one of Ms. Towell’s stories. Like them, Claudia has extreme difficult making friends and an even harder time keeping them.
L[/color]OLITA. Both a book by Vladimir Nabokov and a Japanese fashion style. The term “Lolita” had come to mean a sexually precarious girl, which can sort of apply to Claudia. The most attention she usually gets from boys is them being dared to try and have sex with her by their friends, which she rarely goes along with. She wishes that she could, but their attempts are usually interrupted.
M[/color]ARILYN MANSON. A musician/singer/songwriter/etc known for his macabre style. Not only is he her number one crush but they share a similar mind set. Like Manson, her intellect often surprises people.
N[/color]OSFERATU. A silent film about the classic tale of Count Dracula. Claudia is a huge fan of classic horror, be it books like Dracula and Frankenstein or old silent films. She’s very much stuck in the era of silent films and the type of horror that was being used back then. She misses it.
O[/color]RPHANAGE, THE. A parents’ adopted son starts making friends with dead children in their old home which used to be an orphanage. While Claudia wasn’t adopted her mother was, so she’s always wanted to adopt a child of her own. Claudia very much takes after her mother when it comes to her interests, while her two older brothers are more like their father. Before coming to the island Claudia was over protected by her brothers but by no means sheltered from the world’s harsh realities. Between her macabre interests and her ability to speak to the dead she knows a lot more than she should.
P[/color]AN’S LABYRINTH . A young girl is invited into a fantasy world in which she is a princess. Claudia has always preferred her own world above everyone else’s, constructing her dark and gloomy haven at a young age. Her fantasy world is very much an acquired place but she speaks about it as if it is real. She knows it isn’t physically real, but it is real to her and that is what matters.
Q[/color]UARTINTINE. A television reporter and her cameraman are trapped inside a building quarantined because of the outbreak of a mysterious virus which turns humans into bloodthirsty killers. She may love dead things but Claudia is a major germophobe. She is very obsessive about cleanliness and will quarantine herself around flu-season. She washes her hands at least ten times a day.
R[/color]EPO! THE GENETIC OPERA. A rock opera about a dystopian future filled where organ financing is the new black. Her favourite film and one of her favourite soundtracks to randomly break into. She likes to quote Luigi “What’s this? Rat piss?” whenever she’s displeased with things.
S[/color]WEENY TODD. A musical about a barbor who exacts revenge on the judge who wrongly imprisoned him. Spiteful. Claudia is able to hold grudges like no other. When you do her wrong she never forgets it. Though she’s naïve so her actually knowing you’ve done her wrong doesn’t happen very often.
T[/color]AROT CARDS. A pack of cards believed to tell the future. It’s not that Claudia believes in the predictions, she just liked the artwork. Sometimes you might catch her sketching her own interpretations of the cards.
U[/color]ZUMAKI. A Japanese film about a small town infected with malevolent spirits, While she might not fully believe in the power of tarot cards, she fully believes in spirits (duh). She also has a very strong love for small towns.
V[/color]INCENT PRICE. an actor best known for his distinctive voice and his career in horror films. Another celebrity crush. If she could make love to a voice it would be his.
W[/color]ITCHING HOUR, THE. A series by Anne Rice centering around the Mayfair family and their line of witches. While she would never come out and call herself Wicca or Pagan she is quite interested in the practices and beliefs and studies them quite intently.
X[/color]-RAYS. Images of the skeleton. If she could her walls would be covered in X-Rays, but currently she only has a handful of them.
Y[/color]ETI. An ape-like creature of folklore. Claudia’s nickname for brothers.
Z[/color]ODIAC KILLER. A serial killer from the late 1960’s who has yet to be caught. We’ve already spoken of Claudia’s interest in serial killers but zodiac has always been the one she is fondest of. She has adopted his cryptic way of leaving messages and has a habit of speaking in code when she doesn’t want to talk about a subject. The more people press for her to open up the more incoherent her speech becomes until it is a jumble of sounds only she seems to understand. Claudia isn’t one for personal confrontation.
