FamilyChris Redfield (brother)[15]

Claire Redfield[a] is a character in Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan), a survival horror video game series created by the Japanese company Capcom. She was first introduced as one of two player characters in Resident Evil 2 (1998), alongside Leon S. Kennedy. During the events of Resident Evil 2, Claire arrives in the Midwestern United States town of Raccoon City to find her missing brother, Chris Redfield, but has been overrun by zombies.

Claire is the protagonist of several Resident Evil games, novelizations, and films, and has also appeared in other franchises, including Monster Hunter and Teppen. Several actresses have portrayed Claire. In her initial video game appearance, she is voiced by Canadian actress Alyson Court, whose features were also later used for the character. In the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, she is voiced by Stephanie Panisello and modeled after Canadian model Jordan McEwen. In the live-action Resident Evil films, Claire has been portrayed by Ali Larter and Kaya Scodelario.

The character was formerly known as "Elza Walker", a motorcycle racer during the prototype's development called Resident Evil 1.5. It was later canceled in the final version of the game and Elza was then renamed as Claire by the game's screenwriter, Noboru Sugimura, as the sibling of Chris Redfield in order to introduce a connection to the plot of the original Resident Evil (1996). Video game publications described Claire as among the most popular video game characters. She has received both acclaim and criticism with regard to gender representation in video games. Several publications also considered Claire significantly less sexualized than other female game characters; she was also cited as an example of a female character who was as competent and skilled as her male counterparts.

Concept and design

Claire Redfield was introduced as one of a playable character in Capcom's 1998 survival horror video game Resident Evil 2.[16] She was developed out of an earlier character named "Elza Walker" as the original female lead during its prototype's development called Resident Evil 1.5.[16][17] A blonde motorcyclist who simply arrived at the police station after crashing her bike into its front entrance.[17] Director Hideki Kamiya created unique and expanded circumstances for characters such as police officer Leon S. Kennedy and Elza, similar to those that distinguished protagonists Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield in the original Resident Evil (1996).[16] However, following the game's development. The story's lack of conceptual coherence and depth, according to story writer Noboru Sugimura, who also took issue with director Shinji Mikami for crafting a narrative that had no connection to the original game. Mikami and Kamiya concur that Sugimura's criticism were appropriate.[16] As a result, the development was scrapped and recreated, and then Sugimura replaced Elza as a younger sister of Chris, named Claire.[16] She was designed by artists Isao Ohishi and Ryoji Shimogama.[1] Since Mikami disliked weak and sexually objectified women in video games, Claire was written to be independent and strong-willed.[18] Mikami explained: "I don't know if I've put more emphasis on women characters, but when I do introduce them, it is never as objects[.] In [other] games, they will be peripheral characters with ridiculous breast physics. I avoid that sort of obvious eroticism."[18] Despite this, subsequent games in the series not directed by Mikami depicted her wearing revealing costumes.[19][20]

Claire was given a tougher appearance in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica (2000), the reason being her experiences in Resident Evil 2 built her toughness and confidence to handle any situation.[21] For Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015), Claire was written as hardened and aggressive in order to contrast with her partner, the young, immature, and easily scared Moira Burton. Michiteru Okabe, the game's producer, realized and believes that this is a good thing since it shows that they are considering them as entire personalities rather than simply their gender. They landed on the idea that the players can play multiple roles and stated that "it isn't two against the world, it's one against the world with a helper".[22] In addition, Okabe hinted that Claire's experience would be a little more traumatizing than that of other protagonists in earlier games, who frequently seemed to ignore the fact that they were frequently attacked by unusual monsters. Even though Claire has been through a lot, Okabe continued, "She's not really prepared for it. I think you'll see a little more vulnerability, you'll see less of a kind of indifferent attitude. She really is going to have to struggle through this situation, because it's new and uncharted territory."[23] According to Okabe, director Morimasa Sato is a big fan of Claire, which is why he felt obligated to bring her back into the game. They were excited to do so because they really prefer Claire, and stated that she is the favorite character among the audiences.[24]

For the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, Claire was redesigned and modeled after Canadian model Jordan McEwen.[25] Her hair style is different, and her hair is no longer brownish red; instead, she is a brunette. Her wardrobe was also changed, with her original hotpants and bike shorts replaced by jeans and her jacket now long-sleeved.[26]

Voice-over and live-action actresses

Alyson Court voiced Claire Redfield in her initial appearance in Resident Evil 2[1] and reprised the role in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, Resident Evil: Degeneration, and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.[2][3][4] The character was voiced by James Baker in Resident Evil: Revelations 2,[5] and Stephanie Panisello in the remake of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and Resident Evil: Death Island.[6]

Ananda Jacobs performed Claire's motion capture in Resident Evil: Revelations 2,[8] while Stephanie Panisello has also performed motion capture and voiced her in the remake of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and Resident Evil: Death Island.[6][9][10]

In the original Resident Evil, which uses live-action cinematics, Claire is played by Adrienne Frantz.[11] Ali Larter played Claire in Resident Evil: Extinction, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in the live-action Resident Evil films,[12][13] while Kaya Scodelario portrayed her in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.[14]

Resident Evil 2 takes place in 1998 in the fictional American metropolitan area of Raccoon City.[15][27] Claire revolves around her search for her missing brother Chris, an officer in the local police special force Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.). Claire is a college student who arrives in the Midwestern United States town of Raccoon City to find it overrun by zombies.[28] She soon meets up with police officer Leon S. Kennedy, but along the way she is separated from him and agreed to meet each other at the Raccoon Police Station.[15] She runs into a young girl named Sherry Birkin while being overrun against various undead creatures infesting the Raccoon Police Department building, including the mutated scientist William Birkin.[15][28] After defeating William, she later arrives at the Umbrella underground facility called NEST and found the vaccine to let Sherry's scientist mother Annette Birkin cure her daughter before dying from its injuries.[15][29] Claire eventually escapes from the city on a train out of the facility, along with Leon and Sherry before Raccoon City is destroyed by a nuclear strike as part of a U.S. government cover-up.[15][27]

Mikami – the lead producer of both Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999) and the concurrently-produced Code: Veronica – wanted each game to highlight a female character who had previously appeared in the series; Jill is the protagonist in Nemesis, while Claire is the lead character in Code: Veronica.[30] Commentators suggested these decisions were made as a result of the success of the Tomb Raider series, which featured Lara Croft as the protagonist.[31] Three months after escaping Raccoon City, Claire attempts to raid a European Umbrella facility in pursuit of her brother Chris, only to be apprehended.[15] Claire is sent to an island prison under the command of Alfred Ashford, a descendant of one of the Umbrella's founders. Naturally, there is an outbreak, and Claire sets out to find Chris and leave the island as soon as she is set free and met Steve Burnside.[15][32] Claire, however, escapes on a plane after discovering Chris is nowhere to be found. Ashford takes remote control of the aircraft and crashes it into another Umbrella facility from Antarctica.[15] Later, Chris was shown up looking for Claire and reunites with her and defeats Alexia Ashford before the Antarctic facility self-destructs.[15] After that, they vow to put an end to the Umbrella Corporation.[15] In the PlayStation 2 and GameCube version, Veronica X, Claire also has a brief encounter with the series' main villain, Albert Wesker.[32]

In Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015), Claire is now a member of TerraSave, a group entrusted with clearing up after bioterrorism incidents.[33] The game follows her and Barry Burton's daughter Moira as they get kidnapped and find themselves trapped on a mysterious abandoned prison island.[34] There they fight Alex Wesker and monsters.[33][35] In the end, both of them survive the events, along with Barry, who arrived to look for them, and a little girl named Natalia Korda.[33][35]

Other appearances

Further information: Resident Evil (film series)

Claire features in several of the Resident Evil films. In the director Paul W. S. Anderson's live-action film, Anderson did not include Claire in the early drafts of the third film, Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), as the character of Jill Valentine was supposed to reappear from her debut in the second film, Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004). Later, Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt decided to have a different game character. Claire appear alongside series lead protagonist Alice and said "We thought, rather than bring Jill back, put her with another game heroine."[13] In Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), Claire is the leader of a convoy of zombie apocalypse survivors who, at the end of the film, go to Alaska in search of a safe haven.[28] She reprised her role in the fourth film Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010).[12] She did not appear in the fifth film, Resident Evil: Retribution (2012), where she is presumed dead,[36] but she returned in the sixth and final film of the original film series, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016). Claire teams up with Alice and the Red Queen to save the remnants of humanity.[37][38] She also appears in the reboot film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021).[14]

Claire also appears in the adult animated Resident Evil films. She plays a major role in Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008), reuniting her with Leon. The film is set seven years after the events of the game Resident Evil 2, and Claire has become a prominent TerraSave member.[39] Claire has also appeared in the Netflix series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (2021), alongside Leon.[40] She returned in the sequel, Resident Evil: Death Island.[41] Claire's youthful appearance in the film was said to be a result of the T-Phobos virus slowing her aging.[42]

Claire is a playable character in several non-canonical Resident Evil games.[43] She features in numerous Resident Evil mobile games, and is the protagonist of Resident Evil Uprising (2009), an alternative-story version of the original Resident Evil 2.[44] She is a playable character in Monster Hunter: World (2018),[45] the digital collectible card game Teppen (2019),[46] and in a mobile game Puzzle & Survival (2023).[47] She appears as a cameo appearance in the sports game Trick'N Snowboarder (1999),[48] the browser-based social game Onimusha Soul (2013),[49] Dead by Daylight (2016),[50] and Fortnite Battle Royale (2017) as an alternate skin.[51]

Claire features in novelizations of the films and games,[52][53][54] and plays a main role in the third novel, Resident Evil: Caliban Cove (1999), in a series by S. D. Perry.[53] Several comic books based on the games were released,[55] and she is one of the main characters in Naoki Serizawa's manga Biohazard: heavenly island, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in 2015, in which she is a TerraSave investigator on an isolated South American island.[56] In printed trading card media, she appears as a card in Bandai's Resident Evil Deck Building Card Game (2011).[57] The character was featured in a Resident Evil-themed attraction at Universal Studios Japan's Halloween Horror Nights.[58][59] Merchandise featuring Claire includes figurines, plushies, keychains, vests, and standees.[60]

Reception

Several game publications have described Claire as one of the best video game characters.[61] Edge magazine described her as one of those "strong, non-exploitative female leads" who are "undeniably attractive, but they don't ponce about in leather cat suits." It was also further stated that Biohazard's Claire is "practical and resourceful" and "[t]his is an area where videogames really have the lead on films – in the horror film genre, women are often little more than pouting, screaming conduits for male aggression."[62] According to Matthew Elliott of Computer and Video Games preview of Revelations 2, "She's older, calmer and more capable, but she still retains everything that made her compelling in the first place. She's the perfect choice for the game's brand of isolated horror."[63] Brittany Vincent of SyFy described her as a "good-looking video game heroine," claiming that she is a "strong-willed young woman who's tough as nails and ready to take on any challenge",[64] while IGN's Mitch Dyer particularly praised her return and stated that "the Resident Evil series places women in prominent, powerful, playable roles. [...] It's fun to get to play as Claire again."[22] Michael McWhertor of Polygon has praised Claire in the remake of Resident Evil 2 and said that the character feels like a human being and moves like a contemporary video game action hero,[65] while Kimberley Wallace of Game Informer has claimed that Claire is her favorite Resident Evil character. She said, "She's caring, strong-willed, and a total badass. She's everything you'd expect from a good hero, and when we met Claire back in 1998's Resident Evil 2."[66] However, Ravi Sinha of GamingBolt considered the character's design as among the worst in video games, noting that the developers should have kept her original design.[67]

Critics commented that Claire was not oversexualized in her initial appearances.[68][69][70] She was used as an illustration of a female character from the series who was not evaluated exclusively on the basis of her gender.[68] Digital media scholar Esther MacCallum-Stewart said that Mikami's female characters possess unique qualities making them viable choices for players to select over their male counterparts, and that their combat attire helped avoid criticism of pandering to the male gaze.[71] Gita Jackson of Paste wrote an article about Claire's wardrobe and said that it "shows us that femininity, emotionality and practicality aren't exclusive from each other."[69] Scott Rogers, writing from Level Up!: The Guide to Great Video Game Design has called Claire a perfect example of the theme "opposites attracts", as she and her fellow Raccoon City survivor Sherry (a little girl dressed in a Japanese school uniform in RE2) "couldn't be more different".[72] Conversely, feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian of Tropes vs. Women in Video Games criticized Claire's alternate costumes as too revealing, particularly the motorsport umbrella costume.[73] One of the essays in Nadine Farghaly's Unraveling Resident Evil also criticized and compared Claire to the "typical trope" of "a virgin or tomboy".[74]
