Claire Redfield/notes


 * In Resident Evil 1.5 (the original prototype version of Resident Evil 2), a blonde-haired motorcyclist named Elza Walker was featured as the heroine of the game instead of Claire Redfield. She was unrelated to Chris Redfield and was instead a college student attending Raccoon University and wore a red and white leather suit with the Raccoon University logo (probably a uniform). Otherwise, the character was identical to Claire and the two even shared the same personal data. According to Research on Biohazard 2: Final Edition, Elza's backstory was similar to Claire's, in which she comes to Raccoon in search of a missing person. In Resident Evil 1.5, Elza's supporting characters were Sherry Birkin (like in the released version) and an early version of Robert Kendo (the gun shop owner), which was originally known as "John". The reason for transforming Elza into Claire was done to create a greater tie between the original game and the sequel without reusing an old character.
 * If the player is idle in Code Veronica she will put a hand on her hip.
 * In the Nintendo DS game Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble there is a picture of one of the enemy foot-soldiers dressed as Claire.
 * Claire is the only main character in the Resident Evil series to maintain the same voice actress (Alyson Court) throughout all of her voiced appearances in the series.
 * CAPCOM had originally planned not to have any siblings in the series, but after a few changes in the storyline for the games, Chris and Claire Redfield were made into a brother and sister pair.
 * Claire is one of the few characters in the series to have a hairstyle change (the other being Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 5). In Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, her high ponytail is now a low ponytail in the Code:Veronica scenario.
 * Claire's Resident Evil 2 original outfit has a "Made in Heaven" design on the back. The same logo has her brother, Chris, on the jacket of his alternate outfit, in Resident Evil.
 * Claire appears in The Mercenaries 3D, making her first appearance in Mercenaries and in camera over the shoulder view.
 * Claire is pictured on the cards in both SNK vs Capcom Card Fighter's Clash and SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters Expand Edition
 * Claire is one of the playable characters in Capcom's Trick'N Snowboarder.
 * In the video games, there is no mention on the status of Claire's parents. In the Novels, it is stated that her father was killed at his construction job and her mother died in a car accident.
 * The designs on the jackets of both of Claire's primary outfits in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica contain references to the band Queen. "Made in Heaven" (from RE2) and "Let Me Live" (from CV) are both names of Queen songs. She shares this trait with Billy Coen (whose tattoo, "Mother Love", is also the name of a Queen song).
 * Whilst not appearing in the game, one of C. Viper's costumes in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 borrows heavily from her iconic look.
 * According to Alyson Court, Claire's likeness was based off of Neve Campbell in Resident Evil 2 and Liv Tyler in Code: Veronica.
 * Claire is the only protagonist in the main series that has no combat experience or any training with weapons; however, she managed to use heavy weapony and survive an assault of a fully trained paramilitary unit as the PriviSol. But it has been stated that Chris trained her to use weapons.
 * In the scenario Hellfire from Resident Evil Outbreak, if you check the guest list at the Apple Inn's Hotel register you will see Claire's name listed. This most likely means that Claire made a reservation there before her arrival to Raccoon City.
