Name: Claire Temple Canon: Netflix MCU Age: 34 Gender: Female Canon Point: End of Netflix’s Daredevil s1 episode 11 Background Link:MCU Wiki Inventory: She’ll arrive in Norfinbury wearing: jeans, black low heeled leather ankle boots, a white vest, gray hoodie, green lightweight jacket, and her usual underwear. In her pockets: her phone, a portable phone charger, a coin purse with a few notes and coins, a card holder with a couple credit cards, her driver’s license, her hospital id card, a picture of herself, her mom and her sister when they were little. If possible, she’d also have her small supplies bag, containing first aid supplies: bandages and gauze, nylon thread and needles, needle holder, iodine, disinfectant and wipes, hydrocortisone, antiseptic cream, saline, some painkillers, tweezers, disposable gloves, safety pins, sticky tape, rounded scissors, suture removal scissors, hemostat, eye light, closure strips, scalpel. All in small amounts and only single use for the instruments (at least until she finds a way to sterilise them, if she does).
Personality: An experienced ER nurse, Claire is strong-willed, almost by default. She has to be, to go through any and every single shift at Metro-General. Her job is her pride and takes up most of her life; she is definitely married to it, and frequently pulls double shifts, staying behind at the hospital to make sure her patients are well-cared for. Living in a small, rundown apartment building in Hell's Kitchen, there isn't much for her to come home to, besides cute neighbors and a collection of potted plants she's growing on her fire escape.
At this point, she knows most low level gang members kicking around Hell’s Kitchen, and she’s stitched most of them back up at one point or another; she has a knack for talking to them, and they respect her for her bluntness and honesty. She's not the kind of beat around the bush, which works out for her sometimes but she finds absolutely necessary in her job. She has no time to sugarcoat things for people who don't deserve it.
When she meets Daredevil, he is passed out in her building’s dumpster. She saves his life, patching his multiple stab wounds and giving him an emergency pneumothorax - she doesn’t call the police nor an ambulance, instead deciding to take care of him herself, as she recognized him to be a vigilante. This was the start of her relationship with Matt Murdock; a complicated one that would put her life in danger and lead her to question many of her ethics.
She thinks of herself as a person with strong morals; she wants to do good, and to help people, to help her city be a better place to live in. But she can also be judgmental - she is with Matt when she pointedly tells him he put someone in a coma. Part of it is to cover her fears; fear that Matt will lose himself and start killing people, fear that her city will become unlivable, fear that her connection to Matt will just end up hurting her.
Despite some spitefulness, her need to do good tends to take over any pettiness. When Ranskahov was about to die, despite having been abducted and hurt by him, she helped Daredevil save him. Still, when a thug attacks them and Daredevil keeps him tied up, Claire helps him, giving him instructions on where to stab the thug to hurt him the most. She’ll break rules and laws when she believes it right, which is also how she manages to get herself a sturdy first-aid kit built from pilfered hospital supplies.
She can be brash to her patients, but it is more about keeping them safe than real anger or annoyance. She can also be sassy, with a quick wit that shows she’s not afraid of pushing back, even against gangsters and criminals. But she's also loyal, to her family, her friends, the people she loves and cares for. Sure, she sees plenty of gang members during her shifts at Metro-General, but some of them she's actually built a rapport with, and they'd protect her, just like she protects them when she can. Mainly, she keeps that loyalty to her loved ones and people in need.
Part of her morals also come from her upbringing. Raised by a Puerto-Rican, religious mother, Claire was held to high standards, and wanted to make her proud every single day. She attended church, Sunday school and confession, and has maintained her faith through the years, even if she isn't as devout as she was as a child. She still relies on her faith when times get tough - she leaned on it when she was kidnapped, and trusted that Daredevil would save her. She also uses it to try and get through to him, telling him she doesn't wish for him to become like the martyrs she remembers from Sunday school.
She trusts few things in her life; her own skill, her family, her faith and the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Even if she doesn’t always believe in his methods and sometimes his motives, even when she worries that he will lose himself, she believes that he’s doing it to help Hell’s Kitchen’s people, and that’s why she sticks by him and promises she will keep helping him if he needs her. She wants to do good for her community, through her job and her day to day life, be it by helping kids get out of gang life before it's too late or stitching up Daredevil.
She has feelings for Matt, but both of their fears are keeping them apart. She doesn’t want to be with someone who is so close to losing himself - refuses to be a martyr and live in fear for his life, and he’s afraid that she’d be hurt beyond repair by staying with him. She redefines their boundaries after her kidnapping, but promises she’ll help him when he needs it. She doesn't want her feelings for him or her helping him to define who she is; her own job, her own life comes first for her. While she's willing to help him as much as she can, she also wants to keep her own independence, and dislikes depending on him.
Claire is a strong, independent woman who’s made her own path in a city riddled with crime and gang wars. Every day she fights to make her neighborhood a better place, while never leaving anyone behind. She adapts; speaking fluent Spanish when necessary, pulling out all sorts of pop culture references, from comics to video games, when she’s dealing with kids in the ER, gathering supplies to help Matt whenever she has to. She's loyal to a fault, and will hurt people who have hurt her, or her loved ones, should she think it necessary, and without remorse. Not that she isn't ruthless, either, but she can definitely lash out, in fear and pain and anger. But she's still level-headed most of the time, as her job requires.
Flavor Abilities: None, besides her extended knowledge of ER nursing and her fluency in Spanish.
Suitability: Claire is used to New York winters. Obviously, it’s not the coldest of cold Alaska winters, but she is resilient, and resourceful. The setting would definitely take its toll on her after a while, especially the psychological horrors it inflicts on the town’s residents, but she’d fight for her - and everybody else in town’s - survival. She is very stable mentally, but over time this kind of isolation and despair will definitely make things difficult!
