Claire Littleton is one of the middle section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. She is Jack Shephard's half-sister, although neither of them knows this. She is the mother of Aaron Littleton who was born on the Island soon after the crash, and has done her best to raise Aaron. During her time on the Island, she entered a relationship with fellow survivor, Charlie Pace. Following Charlie's death, Claire joined Locke's group. She left Locke's Group with Aaron, Sawyer and Miles, following Christian into the jungle. She was last seen with Locke and Christian in the cabin.

Born in Australia, Claire was raised by Carole Littleton, a single mother who had gotten pregnant as a result of an affair with Claire's father, Christian Shephard. Christian visited Claire many times when she was a baby, but stopped visiting because, according to him, her aunt Lindsey hated him, and Carole couldn't cope with him having another family in America.

As an adolescent, Claire rebelled against her mother, dressing in a goth style and working in a piercing and tattoo parlor. At a young age, Claire got into a car accident during a heated argument with her mother; a truck forced her car off the road. Claire received minor injuries, but her mother suffered severe brain hemorrhaging and lapsed into a coma. Christian paid for all the medical bills and came to Australia to convince Claire to remove her mother's life support and put Carole out of her misery. Claire refused and demanded he leave her alone. She told him she didn't even know his name, nor did she want to. ("Par Avion")

Sometime later, while working at the Fish & Fry restaurant at five dollars an hour, Claire's path seemed to be dead end and predictable. Her life changed when she and her boyfriend Thomas realized they were to become parents. Though Claire had her doubts, Thomas convinced her that a baby could be "the best thing ever" and would give their lives hope once more. However, Thomas came to the decision that being a young father was too much to handle and he left. Now on her own, Claire decided to give her baby up for adoption when it was born.

Claire's friend Rachel took her to see Richard Malkin, who claimed to be a psychic. As Claire was interested in astrology and horoscopes, Rachel believed it would cheer her up. When reading her palm, Richard said he saw something terrible, and insisted Claire had to raise the child herself as "danger surrounded this baby." Claire didn't believe him and left. ("Raised by Another")

Claire visited her mother in the hospital and told her she was pregnant and planned to give the child up for adoption. She expressed her astonishment that her mother had been able to raise her without any assistance and sobbed an apology for being so terrible to her. ("Par Avion")

Meeting with her child's adoptive parents, Arlene and Joseph Stewart, Claire prepared to sign away rights to her unborn child. She requested that the Stewarts sing the lullaby "Catch a Falling Star", as it was the song her father used to sing to her. As Claire was about to sign the papers, two pens she tried to use did not work. Her doubts at relinquishing her child surfaced and she ran out of the room.

Claire returned to Richard Malkin, who told her that her baby would be safe if she gave it to a couple in Los Angeles who he said were good people. He gave her a ticket for Oceanic Flight 815, and Claire left for what she believed was a new life in America. ("Raised by Another")

Throughout deleted scenes, it is revealed that Claire had a conversation with the Pilot before boarding the plane. She confided in him her anxiety about flying, and the Pilot promised her he'd keep the ride "extra smooth."

On the plane, Arzt helped her put her bags in the overhead compartment. ("Exodus, Part 2")

After the crash, Jack saved Claire from one of the wings when it fell and almost crushed her and Hurley. Later that night, Charlie introduced himself and reassured her that everything would be fine. Soon after, the survivors heard mysterious sounds in the jungle and wondered what caused them. ("Pilot, Part 1") ("Greatest Hits")

Claire was constantly worried about the state of her baby, and told Shannon she hadn't felt it move since the crash. When Jin offered her a fish, she reluctantly took it and as soon as she took a bite, she felt the baby kick. She surprised herself when she subconsciously referred to the baby as "him." ("Pilot, Part 2")

Three days after the crash, Charlie helped Claire move her luggage away from the wreckage. Their friendship began to blossom, but Charlie had to lie when Claire asked about the results of the trek into the jungle to get a signal on the transceiver. ("Tabula Rasa")

After sorting through the belongings of the deceased, Claire suggested Jack lead a memorial service for those who had died in the crash. Jack turned her down, and she decided to lead it herself with the assistance of Hurley and Boone. The service was held during the burning of the fuselage. ("Walkabout")

Kate noticed Claire was feeling a little dizzy while sorting clothes and worried for her health. Hours later, Walt told her Claire had collapsed. Michael and Charlie carried her to her tent to cool her off. They wanted to give her water, but someone had taken it all.

Charlie looked after Claire while she slept, and when she woke up she told him she felt isolated because nobody would look her in the eye. She said everyone looked at her as if she was a "time bomb of responsibility, just waiting to go off." Charlie told her he wasn't frightened by her. Later that evening, Boone secretly gave Claire some water and everyone found out he was the one who had taken it. ("White Rabbit")

Charlie tried to convince Claire to live in the caves with him, but she refused. She said she was happy to wait on the beach for rescue, but would go if Charlie found her some peanut butter. All he found was an empty jar, but he gave it to her anyway. Claire was touched by the gesture and agreed to move off the beach. ("Confidence Man")

After moving to the caves, Claire began having nightmares in which someone injected her with a needle and tried to hurt her baby. ("One of Us") Unfortunately, Charlie was the only one who believed she was really in danger, and he accompanied Claire as she headed back to the beach, where she thought she would be safer. She started having contractions, and when Charlie started to go for help he encountered Ethan and told him to get Jack. Charlie returned to Claire and they were both accosted by Ethan, who knocked them out and dragged them both into the jungle. ("Raised by Another")

At some point, Claire regained consciousness, and let out a series of screams that drew Jack in her direction. In order to stop the pursuit, Ethan tied Charlie up and hanged him from a tree by his neck. Ethan kept Claire, and they disappeared into the jungle. ("All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")

Ethan took Claire to The Staff and drugged her. Claire seemed to think she was back in Australia and told Ethan of her plans to go Los Angeles to give up the baby. Ethan continued to inject Claire with a serum he said would prevent her and the baby from getting sick. ("Maternity Leave")

Ethan showed Claire the nursery in which her child would live. As she looked around, Tom spoke to Ethan outside the door. Claire listened to their conversation as she played with the mobile above the crib, and she heard Tom say Ethan was supposed to make a list before bringing Claire in. He mentioned a higher authority and expressed his worries about what he might do. ("Maternity Leave")

Ethan took Claire out for a walk one day and told her his friends were afraid she might run away. He sat Claire down on a log and gave her some water to drink, but she pulled away after taking a sip, saying it was sour. Ethan asked her if she was sure about letting him and his friends take the baby and reassured her that if she was having second thoughts, he and his friends had no right to take the baby away. ("Maternity Leave")

One night, a teenage girl came into Claire's room and woke her up. She tried to convince Claire she had to escape, but Claire was reluctant. The girl showed her an operating room and told her they were going to cut the baby out of her. When Claire resisted, the girl knocked her out with chloroform and dragged her outside. ("Maternity Leave")

Claire woke up dazed in the middle of the jungle. A woman approached her and Claire got frightened and shouted for Ethan, who was searching for her. She struggled with Danielle, scratching her arm, and Danielle knocked her out with her rifle. ("Maternity Leave") She took Claire to a place where her fellow survivors would find her, and Claire stumbled upon Boone and Locke. ("Special")

Claire passed out and was taken back to the caves, where she woke up with no recollection of the crash or any of the events since. Charlie tried to bond with her again, but Claire was standoffish, as in her mind, she had just met him. Ethan went to Charlie and told him if he didn't get Claire back, he would kill one survivor every night. The survivors set up a guard, but Ethan came from the water and killed Scott Jackson. Claire noticed everyone was looking at her strangely and confronted Shannon, who told her what Ethan had done. Claire was angry with Charlie for not telling her she had caused Scott's death, then told Jack she wanted to help.

Jack decided to use Claire as bait for Ethan. Charlie didn't want Claire to put her life at risk, but she insisted. She stood alone in the jungle while Jack, Sawyer, Locke, Sayid and Kate kept watch on her from the trees. When Ethan appeared, Jack knocked him down and a fight ensued. When Ethan was on the ground, Jack and the others prepared to interrogate him, but Charlie shot and killed him. Later that night, Claire told Charlie she wanted to trust him, but it would take time, especially after what she had just experienced. ("Homecoming")

Charlie, having never killed before, became withdrawn after Ethan's murder. He distanced himself from Claire, turning her down when she asked him to go for a walk. She told him she was having dreams about events from after the crash and that her memory was starting to come back, but her attempts to reach out failed. After a conversation with Sayid, Charlie perked up a bit and found Claire, asking her if she still wanted that walk. ("Outlaws")

Claire was nearly nine months pregnant when Locke asked her to help him with something he was building. She was surprised, but agreed and he helped her up. They talked about what she would name the baby and about her memory. Claire told Locke it was her birthday, but that it didn't seem important. After many hours of construction, Locke wished her a happy birthday and flipped the object over, revealing it to be a crib. ("Numbers")

A few days later, Claire went into the jungle feeling dazed and withdrawn. Kate, heading for the caves to help Jack with Boone, came upon her and saw she was in labor. She yelled for help, and Jin came running. Kate sent him to the caves to get Jack, but he was too busy with Boone. Charlie went with Jin back to Claire and told Kate she would have to deliver the baby. When the contractions stopped, Claire said she was fine, but then her water broke. She wouldn't push and Kate became frightened, but told her the baby belonged to all of them and that she seriously needed to push. Finally, Claire gave birth to a baby boy. ("Do No Harm")

Convinced the Others were going to come and take the baby, Claire refused to rest. Both Sun and Charlie told her they would never let anything happen to him, and she finally agreed to sleep. When she awoke, she was amused to find Sawyer reading to the baby to keep him from crying. ("The Greater Good")

While getting a haircut from Claire, Charlie played his guitar for the baby and called him Turniphead. He told Claire he would continue to call him that until she gave him a name. ("Born to Run")

Danielle came to the survivors' camp to warn them the Others were coming. She said she was seven months pregnant when she crashed on the Island, and a week after her daughter was born she saw a pillar of smoke on the horizon. Her baby was taken from her that night. Later, Charlie and Claire were alone on the beach when Danielle approached again, asking for Sayid. When Charlie went to get him, Danielle took the baby from Claire. Charlie returned to the beach with Sayid, and Claire begged him to go get Aaron back. Charlie and Sayid headed toward the smoke pillar, realizing Danielle was going to attempt to trade Claire's baby for her own. ("Exodus, Part 1")

Sun helped Claire to the caves as Charlie and Sayid reached the black smoke. Danielle seemed distraught at not finding the Others and handed the baby over to Charlie. Claire was overjoyed when he returned with Aaron and her bond with Charlie was strengthened. ("Exodus, Part 2")

Season 2 (Days 44-67)

During a conversation with Charlie about how he always made a joke of things, Claire found a Virgin Mary statue in his bag. When she pulled it out, Charlie became unsettled and Claire assumed he was keeping it for spiritual value. ("Adrift")

One day, while taking her usual walk along the beach, Claire found the message bottle the people on the raft had taken with them. She took it out of the water, and she and Shannon brought it to Sun, since her husband was on the raft. Later that evening, after Hurley decided to have a feast with the food from the Hatch, Charlie surprised Claire with a jar of real peanut butter. ("Everybody Hates Hugo")

Claire and Charlie continued to grow close, but Claire got upset when Charlie scolded her for waking Aaron. She confided her frustration in Locke, saying Charlie acted as though he were the baby's father. ("Abandoned")

After Shannon was killed by one of the newcomers to the beach camp, Claire went to her funeral. She and the other survivors laid flowers on Shannon's grave. ("What Kate Did")

When she introduced herself to Eko, she mentioned Charlie's Virgin Mary statue and Eko demanded to see it. Claire gave it to him and he smashed it, revealing it to be full of heroin. Claire kicked Charlie out of her tent and told him she didn't want a drug addict around her baby. ("The 23rd Psalm") With Charlie gone, Claire began spending more time with Locke, who seemed to know a lot about babies. ("The Hunting Party")

After waking up one night to find Charlie had taken Aaron from his crib, Claire distanced herself from him even more. When Charlie tried to tell her the baby was in danger, Claire was shaken but Kate reassured her. ("Fire + Water") One night, Charlie started a fire and took Aaron while everyone was distracted. Claire saw him and screamed for help. Charlie insisted the baby needed to be baptized because he was in danger. When he had finally handed Aaron back over to Claire, Locked punched him in the face. Although she was furious with Charlie, Claire took his words to heart and had Eko baptize Aaron on the beach early the next morning. ("Fire + Water")

Aaron developed a rash and Claire became worried. Danielle Rousseau arrived at the beach and told Claire the baby had the same sickness from which her crew had suffered. Claire had a brief memory of scratching Danielle's arm and was frustrated she couldn't remember more. She asked Libby to help her regain her lost memories from when Ethan had taken her. ("Maternity Leave")

After remembering the medicine Ethan had given her, Claire enlisted Kate to help her find the Staff station. They encountered Danielle, who helped them find their way. The Staff was empty except for some costumes in a locker. The left the station, and Claire finally remembered Danielle had helped her escape from Ethan. She told her of the young girl who had also helped her, and Danielle was relieved to hear her daughter might still be alive. She left them with the chilling instructions to do "what must be done" if Aaron was infected. When Claire got back to her son that night, she was happy to find his rash was gone. She realized she had never really wanted to give him away and that she would always love him. ("Maternity Leave")

Claire's anger toward Charlie had cooled, and when he gave her a vaccine kit he'd found in the food drop, she was thankful. Later, at the funeral for Libby and Ana Lucia, she held his hand. ("Three Minutes")

When Desmond saw her using the vaccine kit, he told her she was wasting her time with it and asked if Aaron's father had been on the plane. When Claire bitterly told him about Thomas leaving her, Desmond suggested he had done what he thought was best for the baby. Claire said Thomas had done what was best for him. ("Live Together, Die Alone")

When the sky turned purple as the Hatch imploded, Claire tried to cover Aaron's ears to protect him from the noise. Bernard pushed them out of the way before they could be crushed by the falling hatch door. Later, she was relieved when Charlie stumbled out of the jungle, disoriented and half deaf. She asked him what had happened, but he joked his way out of answering. Claire kissed him, making their reconciliation official. ("Live Together, Die Alone")

Charlie moved back to Claire's tent and they continued to grow close. When Claire saw Locke and Charlie dragging Eko's unconscious body onto the beach, she went to get medical supplies for him. ("Further Instructions")

The next day, Desmond told Claire there was something wrong with her roof and he would fix it if she would move down the beach. She opted to stay where she was, and Desmond started to construct a lightning rod next to her shelter. The other survivors looked on, perplexed, until the structure diverted a bolt of lightning away from Claire's tent. ("Every Man for Himself")

Desmond rescued Claire again when she was caught in an undertow, bringing her ashore and resuscitating her. Charlie confronted Desmond about his continual rescuing of Claire, but Desmond revealed it was actually Charlie he had saved, not Claire. ("Flashes Before Your Eyes")

A few days later, Claire listened as Charlie recounted his adventure with the DHARMA van. It seemed as though Charlie was no longer obsessing about his imminent death, and the two seemed to have a good time. ("Tricia Tanaka Is Dead")

Charlie arranged a picnic for Claire, but Desmond interrupted to take Charlie boar hunting. Claire, after seeing a flock of migratory birds, ran off excited, saying she knew how to get off the island. She wanted to capture one of the gulls and attach a message to it. Desmond stopped Charlie from participating, which caused an argument between Charlie and Claire. When Desmond later foiled her attempt to catch a bird, Claire confronted him and asked him why he was trying to hinder her efforts. Desmond came clean and described his visions, in which Charlie died trying to get one of the birds. He later caught one for her himself and Claire composed a note for the outside world. She told Charlie she knew about Desmond's visions and that she hadn't given up on him. They released the seagull with the note attached and watched it rejoin its flock. ("Par Avion")

When Sawyer wanted to make amends and fit in with the rest of the survivors, his main target was to befriend Claire and gain her trust. She was surprised but appreciative when Sawyer gave Aaron a blanket and complimented him on his lack of wrinkles, and eventually let Sawyer hold the baby. ("Left Behind")

The next day, Claire began to feel deeply ill. Charlie, who at the time was across the camp, heard Aaron crying and rushed to Claire's tent, where he found her passed out cold. He comforted Aaron, then tended to Claire. He told her to try to get some more rest, in the hope that whatever was wrong would burn itself out. Claire slept for several hours before stumbling into the camp's meeting later that night. Charlie saw she was clearly not well and tried to convince her to go back to bed, but she collapsed in his arms. He was trying to revive her when she coughed up blood. ("One of Us")

Jack and Charlie brought Claire back to her shelter, and Juliet stated that she was the one who had made Claire sick. Juliet retrieved supplies and supposedly nursed Claire back to health. However, Claire's "illness" was actually caused by Ben's activation of an implant that Ethan had previously put in Claire.("Maternity Leave") Ben activated it so that Juliet would gain the trust of the survivors when she "cured" her. ("One of Us")

When Claire found out Charlie had volunteered to swim down into an underwater hatch, she was upset he didn't tell her. He said he just didn't want her to worry about him, then kissed her goodbye. ("Greatest Hits")

Claire left with the rest of the survivors to go to the radio tower. Aaron began to cry just before Naomi told Claire that Charlie had been successful in shutting down the jamming signal at the Looking Glass. After Ben's capture, Hurley radioed Jack and told him Sayid, Jin and Bernard were alive, but that Charlie wasn't back yet. Hurley said he was sure Charlie would be back soon and Claire's fears were calmed. Jack called Naomi's boat and Claire happily awaited rescue with the other survivors. ("Through the Looking Glass")

Season 4 (Days 91-99)

While preparing to head back to the beach to await rescue, Sun expressed her relief at being able to deliver her baby in a hospital. Claire told her not to rub it in, then told Rose that her husband seemed "quite the hero." Rose said everyone knew Charlie was the real hero and told Claire to treat him "real good" when he got back. ("The Beginning of the End")

When the group that had gone to the radio tower reunited with the group from the beach, Claire looked for Charlie but didn't see him. Hurley tearfully told her Charlie had died trying to save everyone. They cried and hugged, trying to comfort each other. Jack tried to get everyone to go to the beach, but Hurley disagreed with him and said Charlie's last act had been to warn them all that the people on the freighter weren't who they said they were. Claire went with Locke's group to hide from Naomi's team, while Jack took his group back to the beach. ("The Beginning of the End")

The next day, Locke's group found Charlotte, who had fallen into the water from the helicopter. She asked about Aaron and was amazed to find out Claire had delivered him on the Island. After seeing Frank's flare, Claire suggested they go look for him, but Locke disagreed. Ben shot Charlotte, but failed to kill her because of her bulletproof vest. When Locke wanted to execute him, Claire pleaded with him to talk about it before doing anything drastic. Locke asked her what would have happened if the bullet had hit her or the baby, and Claire fell silent. In the end he let Ben live and the group continued with Charlotte to the Barracks. ("Confirmed Dead")

After walking for most of the day, Claire asked Locke how much further it would be, as she needed to feed Aaron. Locke said he wanted to visit a cabin, but couldn't seem to find it. He then said it wasn't important and they arrived at the Barracks a few hours later. ("The Economist")

When Kate joined Locke's group at the Barracks, Claire shared a house with her. They sat on the porch discussing Locke before Claire went inside to give Kate and Sawyer some privacy. Later, while the women hung clothes to dry, Kate told Claire she was a great mother and Claire said motherhood was something she never thought she would be good at. She joked to Kate that she should try it sometime. That night, Claire and Kate, unable to sleep, were interrupted when Locke came to banish Kate from the Barracks as punishment for taking Miles to see Ben. ("Eggtown")

Claire went to Locke the next day and offered to question Miles. She thought using a less intimidating approach might get more answers out of him. Locke denied her access to Miles and told her to remember what Charlie had said. Claire replied that Charlie had only told them it wasn't Penny's boat, and asked, "Don't you want to know whose boat it is?" ("The Other Woman")

She is present at the barrack meeting where she is in opposition to Locke's plan of protecting Ben. Afterwards she is seen talking to Alex and Karl showing she has struck up a friendship with them. ("Meet Kevin Johnson")

During the mercenaries' attack on the Barracks, Claire is still sleeping. Her house is blown up and Sawyer discovers her, disoriented but alive. When she sees Sawyer she first calls him Charlie, Sawyer then carries her back to Ben's house where she rests. Later, Claire along with the rest of Locke's group, witness the Smoke monster's impending attack on the mercenaries. Like Ben instructed, she and everyone else escape to the tree line. Once safe, Locke and Ben decide it's wise to visit Jacob. However Sawyer is opposed to the idea and decides to head back to the beach. He thinks it's best for Claire and Aaron to go with him and she agrees. With Sawyer and Miles, she begins the trek back to the beach camp. ("The Shape of Things to Come")

Whilst on their journey back to the beach, Sawyer asks how Claire how her head injury is. She thinks it's just a headache now but is pleased she is not seeing things anymore. When Miles finds the corpses of Danielle and Karl, she turns away at the ghastly site of their dead bodies. Claire says she would prefer to leave the area. Sawyer escorts her away and promises that things will be fine once they get back to the beach. Later Sawyer issues Miles with a restraining order because he doesn't trust him near Claire. Miles is reminded of this later when he attempts to help Claire with Aaron. She insists she's fine but is startled by Frank, who emerges from a bush. He warns them Keamy is coming their way. Worried by this, she hides with Miles and Sawyer. When Keamy and his team arrive, Aaron lets out a cry. Claire tightly clings to Aaron. Keamy notices the cry but can't quite realize what it is. Eventually Frank distracts the team away from Claire, Sawyer and Miles and they leave. ("Something Nice Back Home")

Claire wakes during night and notices Aaron is not by her side. When she sits up, Claire notices a man holding Aaron. She recognizes him as her father and asks, "Dad?". The next morning Sawyer searches for her, and finds Aaron crying by a tree. He picks him up and screams for Claire, however nothing happens. ("Something Nice Back Home")

Claire is not seen again until Locke discovers her and Christian in Jacob's cabin. When Locke asks her about Aaron, Christian states that Aaron is where he needs to be and Claire is safe. Claire, seems content to be in the cabin, and strangely unconcerned about Aaron. Her behaviour seems different also. Before Locke leaves the cabin, Christian warns him not to tell anyone she is the cabin. ("Cabin Fever")



Trivia

  • In Seasons 1, 2 and 3, Claire is constantly the character with the lowest amount of Episode Appearances (living character by the end of a Season).

  • During an interview about the episode "Par Avion", Emilie de Ravin stated that the period in which the flashbacks occurred during this episode were based when Claire was 17. Since Claire is 22 on the Island, this indicates that the year of the flashbacks during "Par Avion" was either late 1999 or early to mid 2000.

  • Claire came across a Death Adder while on a walkabout in Australia, in the Lost novel Endangered Species.
  • So far, all of Claire's flashback episodes seem to have a pattern:
    • Claire has only one centric episode per season.
