Littleton: |
Prior to
Oceanic Flight 815
Claire, a young Australian woman, has job at "Fish 'n' Fry".
She becomes pregnant, and she intends to give the child up for
adoption after the baby's father, Thomas, walks out on her. Her plans
to give the baby up are altered by her own guilt and the involvement
of a psychic, Mr. Richard Malkin, who hounds Claire for several
months, telling her she must raise the child herself or else great
danger will come to the baby. When she refuses to listen to his
insistent demands, the psychic appears to recant and tells her he has
found a couple in Los Angeles for the baby, and arranges the flight
for her. After the crash, Claire believes that the psychic may have
known of the airplane's impending disaster.
At the airport she is at a coffee shop, sitting at a table handling
her cup shakingly. The pilot walks over to her to comfort her. He
tells her that he sees pregnant women all the time on long flights. He
said that he will make the ride extra smooth for her. She later tells
him about the psychic she met. The pilot tells Claire about his
mother. He says that his mother went to a psychic too. The psychic
told her to marry a guy with a name that started with "R".
She went for "Roger". She dumped her husband Bernard and she
never found a man named Roger. Bernard then made millions of dollars
in later years after the separation.
On the island Claire is ignored and avoided by the other survivors after the crash.
Claire claims it's because she's a ticking timebomb of responsibility.
With the exception of Jack, who checks her physical condition, only
Charlie approaches Claire frequently, and they become friends. She and
Charlie are kidnapped by Ethan Rom. Charlie is found first, soon after
the abduction, and Claire wanders back to the castaways two weeks
later, still pregnant but with no memory of anything after the crash.
She gives birth to a boy, Aaron. Kate has to deliver the baby because
Jack is in the midst of trying to save Boone's life. Following the
birth Claire has trouble trusting others with Aaron. Nonetheless,
Charlie continues to remain ever-present, helping Claire with Aaron
when she needs it. Claire wears a necklace with the Chinese character ai
which means "love".
Mr. Eko asks her why she named her son Aaron and Eko tells her that
Moses' brother's name was Aaron. When Eko sees the Virgin Mary
statues, he reveals to Claire that it contains heroin. Soon after,
Claire confronts Charlie about the drugs, saying that she remembers
something about him being a drug addict. Claire asks Charlie to stay
away from her and Aaron. Charlie believes that Aaron must be baptized
and steals the baby. This causes Claire to trust him even less, but
she asks Eko to baptize her and Aaron. She does not interact with
Charlie much anymore, but is often seen with Locke who helps her with
the baby. |
