Claire Rogers

Claire Rogers is a member of the School Group and a secondary character in season 1 and 2. She is a survivor of the apocalypse and the younger sister of Maeve Rogers. She, along with other members of the group, were holing up in the canteen before Blake and Charlie arrived. Although initially shaken by the apocalypse, Claire quickly adapts to her situation so that after the six month gap between the first and second season, she has become the group's equivalent of a Doctor.

"Pilot"
Claire is first seen taking care of the year seven boy. When he dies and turns, she becomes distraught, telling Chloe that he was one of her sister's friends.

"Take it Back"
When Claire is still in shock, Chloe comes to her side and tells her she has to give up on her grief for a while, noting that they don't have the time. Claire initially can't summon the courage, but after some convincing, Claire comes back and offers to help Frank look for Blake and Joely. Together, the two of them clear the infected outside the nurse's office and bring them back to the canteen.

"Keep Pushing Forward"
While clearing out the last building of the school, Claire, Blake, Cain, and Frank stumble upon Claire's sister, Maeve. When Maeve questions where their parents are, Claire admits that she doesn't know. When Maeve escapes, she and Chloe go to look for her, with Claire believing to know where she has gone. They later arrive at their old home and find Maeve crying over her mother's dead body. Claire then managed to convince Maeve to come back to the school.

"A Safe Place"
When Cain, Blake, Joely, and Frank go on a run to the closest supermarket, the rest of the group at the school are raided by bandits. Claire, Chloe, and Charlie are tied up while Maeve manages to run away. Maeve soon returns, however, stabbing one of the bandits in the shoulder and distracting them long enough for Claire to escape. She soon manages to reunite with her sister and she manages to "get one" off screen. Claire returns with blood on her hands and is comforted by Chloe.

"Trouble Afoot"
Claire and Chloe deduce that, following the attack the day before, the gate won't be able to hold if enough infected attack it. That same day, the smoke from a fire draws a large herd of infected towards the school. Despite Blake's promise that he and Joely can redirect it, she does not want to risk her sister's life and tries to leave while they're away. She manages to convince Chloe to come with her and the three of them go to the gates, only to be stopped by Charlie, who berates them for not believing in Blake. Maeve then tells Claire that she does not want to leave and, with Chloe's support, she finally decides to stay.

When Blake and Joely return having succeeded, she later asks Chloe if she's a bad person, to which she denies, telling her that she was "only thinking about your sister." Claire then tells her she wasn't "only thinking about my sister." After a moment, Chloe kisses her.

"What You Have To Do"
Two days after Blake's "death," Claire feels regretful for attempting to leave the school in the previous episode. She says that she never properly apologised, but Chloe comforts her. The next morning, Claire approaches Chloe, asking her why she has been acting distant lately. Chloe confesses that she isn't sure if Claire wants to be with her, stating that she doesn't want their relationship to be "some experiment." She then asks her to be her girlfriend. Claire then calls her an idiot and kisses her.

Later, the rest of the group confront Cain over the suspicious circumstances of Blake's death. Charlie accuses him of murdering him, which shocks Claire and when Cain does not deny it, she calls him a "murderer." Cain then snaps and grabs Claire by the throat, strangling her. The others try to get him off her, but they can't. A recovered Blake then returns and manages to get him off of Claire.

"What We Are"
Sometime later, the group discusses what they should do with Cain. Claire suggests banishing him, but the possibility of him returning makes them dismiss the idea. When Charlie discusses the idea of killing him, with Chloe backing him up, Claire is horrified.

Later, Maeve finds Claire and Chloe in bed together. She runs off before Claire can say anything and she goes to chase her. Chloe, however, stops her, saying that "it's too late. There's no turning back, now." When Joely and Blake discover Frank bleeding out from the wound inflicted on him by the now-escaped Cain, they are called. Claire cannot bear to watch as their friend dies, and she hugs Chloe.

"What We Become"
Looking for a kidnapped Maeve, Claire, Chloe, and Charlie search the common room for her to no avail. They regroup at the courtyard and conclude that Cain has taken Maeve outside of the school. Claire wishes to go searching for them immediately, but they are forced to wait until day. That night, Claire lies in bed awake, blaming herself for Maeve's kidnapping and stating that she "should have gone after her when she ran away."

The next day, Claire and Blake split off from the group to search for Cain and Maeve. While they do not find anything, the two bond and she admits that "we probably would've been dead by sunset. I don't always agree with you, but...you're infuriatingly right sometimes." After turning up nothing, they are chased down by Charlie and an injured Joely, who tell them that Cain ambushed them and has taken Maeve to the supermarket. Blake tells them to go back to the school while he goes to get Maeve back. Joely, however, follows him.

Later, Claire waits at the gates as Blake and Joely return with Maeve in tow. She and her sister have a tearful reunion.

"Are We Okay?"
When the group needs to go on a run for food, Maeve volunteers herself and, although Claire doesn't like it, she allows her to go. Later, Claire is seen patching up Dexter when the group returns with three members of Bryce's Group. She concludes that he does not have a broken ankle and it is merely sprained.

Later, Claire joins Tim and asks him what's wrong. He responds by telling her that he knows Sam from high-school, but doesn't want to tell her because he "do[esn't] even recognise [him]self." She comforts him, telling him that he's "one of us, now," seemingly forgiving him for his part in the bandit attack last season. Claire later leaves with Blake, Joely, Pepper, and Dexter to go to Bryce's Campsite.

"What Have You Done?"
Claire helps bring Dexter to Patrick, the camp's Doctor, who compliments Claire for her medical skills. She later then tells Dexter that she's sorry for what happened to Simon in the episode prior. When he then assumes that the School Group has "been through some shit," she nods quietly. Claire is later revealed to have made Chloe promise to take care of Maeve while she is away, something brought up by Chloe herself as she and Charlie search for her missing sister.

"Gone Too Long"
Claire returns to the school with Pepper and Blake, only to find that it is being attacked by Scavs. She later helps patch up Chloe, who expresses her relief that she is back. When she hears the others talking about how Bryce's group didn't think the Scavs operated in the area, she approaches and tells them that "they do now."

Chloe
Chloe appears to have had a prior friendship with Claire that only grows during the apocalypse. They begin to open up to each other about their lives and eventually begin pursuing a romantic relationship. They care deeply about one another.

Blake
Claire initially seems reluctant to leave her fate in Blake's hands, thinking mostly of her sister. However, he seems to prove himself in her eyes after redirecting the herd. She then begins to trust him more and, although they sometimes have conflicting opinions, she is willing to accept his decisions.

Maeve
Claire and Maeve care for each other deeply due to their familial bond. When Maeve runs off to find her parents, it is Claire that convinces her to come back. When Maeve is kidnapped, Claire is the most distraught and was even willing to go out into the night to try and find her. Claire is very protective of her sister to such an extent that she tries to keep her from changing despite the end of the world. After the six month time gap, however, it seems that she has began to loosen this grip over Maeve and even goes as far as to allow her to go on the run for food.

Cain
Cain and Claire do not agree on much throughout the series. Following Blake's "death," Claire is one of the members of the group that confronts him about what happened. Her calling him a "murderer" is the last straw that makes him snap, choking her.

Charlie
Though they don't interact much, Charlie and Claire seem to have a good relationship. He attempts to get Cain off her when he attacks her.

Joely
Joely and Claire do not interact much, but the two seem to have a good relationship.

Dexter
Following her medical care for Dexter, Claire appears to establish a good relationship with him. The two beginning open up to each other about their experiences follwing the outbreak.
