Personality

ExpandClick to expand.

Codependent:
Claire is one of those people who, sadly, get their own worth by taking care of other people. It means she's thrown herself head over heels into her job and her side work as the Night Nurse. It leaves little time for a real social life.

No-Nonsense:
However, Claire often tells it exactly like it is. She'll explain injuries honestly and lay out options for care without much tender bedside manner.

Protective:
Claire is immensely protective of her city, her people, and her patients. Whether it's a vigilante stumbling half dead into her apartment, or a motorcycle accident in her ER, she'll go above and beyond the call of duty to keep them alive.

Trusting:
It takes a certain level of trust to let people just spill into her apartment no matter their injuries, but she's done it enough now that she's let herself accept the risk and trust that if someone is coming to her for help, they aren't going to hurt her.

Skills

ExpandClick to expand.

Delayed Sleep:
Claire, for being a shift worker, has learned to shift her sleep cycle and put off rest as long as possible. She might be a normal human, but she's gone 36 hours straight without rest before and she can do it again if she must.

Field Medic:
While Claire is excellent in a hospital, she might, somehow, be actually better at medicine when she's challenged with make shift supplies and non-ideal circumstances. She's patched up more people in back alleys or her own apartment than she cares to count. She knows how to jury rig make shift supplies as needed to save a life.

First Aid:
If it's a first aid technique, Claire knows it. She could recite first aid books in her sleep and constantly keeps up with the newest recommendations and regulations of things like CPR, the heimlich maneuver, and other new techniques which have been discovered over modern medicine.

Medicine:
While Claire's actual job is a nurse, her skill with medicine goes above and beyond those of even a highly skilled RN. She's performed minor surgeries on her couch when needed, pulled bullets out of super heroes while their bodies healed around them, and reinflated collapsed lungs with basic tools in her living room. If someone is still breathing, in general, Claire can and WILL find a way to save their lives.

Memory:
Claire has a remarkably sharp memory, almost eidetic in its nature, able to recall things after her first encounter with them. This is great for faces, new medical techniques she reads in articles, conversations she over hears, and how doctors more qualified than her operate.

Sleight of Hand:
Claire can be sneaky when needed. Sometimes, it's hiding the fact that she's patching someone up in a dangerous circumstance. More often? It's very carefully stealing supplies from the hospital where she works.

Spanish:
Claire is fluently bilingual in both Spanish and English.

Surgery:
While it's not generally a nurse's job, Claire has learned how to perform minor surgery out of pure necessity to help those on the streets. She'll never do a heart transplant, but she can internally sew up bullet wounds, stabbing injuries, and all sorts of bodily damage done in street fights.

Triage Experience:
Claire is also great at reading wounds and wounded to figure out what needs to be handled first. She can look over a patient with multiple injuries and, within 10 seconds, know what injury she needs to treat first to keep the person alive.

Resources

Apartment:
Claire has a decent sized one bedroom apartment in Hell's Kitchen. Yes, it's a crappy area of the city, but it's rent controlled, has a good amount of space, a fire escape, and it's not that far from work. She loves her apartment.

Medical Supplies:
Claire routinely palms medical supplies from her work at Metro-General to help stock her personal store at her apartment for when heroes and others need patching up. She can't get anything rare, but bandages, needles, antiseptic, basic pain killers, wound dressing, IVs, etc, are all in her little home storage closet.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

Double Shifts:
Claire is, basically, working a double shift every day of her life. Graveyard at the hospital, then a shift with any super heroes that come into her apartment. She can't remember the last time she got more than six hours sleep. One day, this will catch up with her.

Only Human:
Despite her skills, deep down, Claire is simply human and mortal. She's helped a lot of powered people and probably made a lot of powered enemies, but she has no super powers herself to actually protect herself. This might get her in trouble down the line.

Reputation:
As she saves more people on the street, she's gaining a reputation as someone who can patch you back together with no questions. This might draw as many enemies as it does friends.
