=== First Arrival === <big>Damsel in Distress</big> During a relatively routine supply run to deliver medical supplies as part of a relief effort to the dark world of Tautenia, Claude's ship was intercepted by pirates under the command of [[Cosette Cosmos]], likely intent on claiming her resources for resale on the black market. However, as luck would have it, the [[Sunrider (ship)|Sunrider]] - searching through the area for the Crown Jewel of Ryuvia - stumbled upon the freighter as it was under attack, offering assistance to the civilian vessel. However, Cosette's new allies - the expansionist faction [[PACT]] - entered the battle soon after, lead by [[Veniczar B. Cullen]], who succeeded in battering the Mochi. Claude however seemed rather calm about the situation, entering her Ryder and leaving the ship behind just as a shot from the enemy units destroyed her vessel. In the Novel, Claude's initial shot sends her spinning backwards as she forgets to activate her Ryder's initial compensators, likely leaving a bad first impression on her would-be rescuers as to the nature of her competence. However, she quickly recovers and helps dispatch a [[PACT Cruiser]] with her Ryder's shotgun as the rest deal with Cosette and Cullen's forces. Joining up with the Sunrider's own Ryder pilots in quick order, they succeed in driving back Cosette and Cullen, after which Claude, having lost her ship, came aboard the Sunrider for re-supply and refuge. <big>Captain in Shining Armor</big> [[File:shoujo captain1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Claude's interpretation of Kayto upon meeting him for the first time]] Upon boarding the ship, Claude was instantly taken with [[Captain Shields]], openly flirting with him as soon as she met him - much to the chagrin of the ship's First Officer, [[Ava Crescentia]], as well as several of the Ryder pilots. She seemed to be in a daze and exhibiting symptoms of Presyncope and some minor visual disorders in her appreciation of the Captain - quite possibly from rampant hormonal urges as she became immediately infatuated with Kayto. Tricking the captain rather easily into contracting her - to the disbelief of most of the senior crew - Claude quickly set herself up as the ship's doctor, mooching off the vessel to not only replace her lost living arrangements from the destroyed Mochi, but also have relative safety and security from pirates and perhaps even the Alliance aboard the independent Sunrider. Much to the exasperation of Ava and the other Ryder pilots, Kayto is rather easily convinced to let her become the vessel's doctor - the fastest anyone has ever been elevated to a senior staff position out of anyone else to join the crew - and, in the Novel, continues to flirt with Kayto by blowing him a kiss even as a deeply-irritated Ava escorts her to the med-bay to get herself set up. Most of the ship's crew - especially the males - are in turn all-too-grateful to have the sultry nurse aboard, though others - such as [[Chigara Lynn Ashada|Chigara]] - were thoroughly unnerved, unsettled and awkwardly embarrassed by their new "doctor's" privacy-invasive methods. In the Novelization, Claude - having obtained her "medical uniform" far earlier then in the original story - went as far as probing Chigara for information on her status with Kayto and whether or not they were romantically involved, dismissing the engineer's panicked screams questioning what Claude's inquisition has to do with her health. Claude arbitrarily regards Chigara as being obstinate as well as asking Chigara to strip naked for Claude to take her measurements - among other things - causing the engineer to rush out in a flustered panic, terrified of an impending threat to her chastity. [[File:claude_nurse_fingeronlip_kittysmile copy.png|left|thumb|300px|Claude's "medical uniform."]] Eventually, Kayto himself went down to the medical bay after a short debate with Ava about the legitimacy of Claude's medical qualifications - and in the Novel, he quickly concludes Ava was likely correct upon seeing Claude's "uniform". Telling Kayto to remove his clothes under the pretense of a "standard physical exam," Claude initially started out somewhat as expected of an actual medical professional by examining Kayto's chest and ribs, but then becomes more focused on examining his pecks and muscles. This further rouses the Captain's suspicions on whether Claude is in fact a certified doctor, only to have his questions deflected when Claude points out that her medical license, like most everything else she had beforehand, was on the Mochi when it was destroyed and thus she didn't have the means to prove anything at the moment. After coercing Kayto into stripping down stark-naked, Claude then abandons any pretense of professionalism and tries to get a genetic "sample" from Kayto - with her hands, much to Kayto's disbelief and panic. After almost suffering the same fate as her previous patients, Kayto was saved from Claude's ministrations when Ava burst into the room, revealing that she'd discovered Claude's checkered past of multiple false claims of certification and that her medical credentials had been long revoked. After a somewhat mortifying scene where Chigara then walked in on the underdressed Kayto - and in the Novel, passed out with the mostly-naked Kayto falling on top of her when he tried to help her off the floor - Ava promptly arrested Claude and the Captain detained the faux-doctor in the wake of her actions. However, she was ultimately liberated from house-arrest when it was judged that her Ryder proficiency would be invaluable in the next battles, even if only as a support as it was arguable whether she was actually a better pilot then she was a doctor. She was told she would be unable to enter in the Medical Ward under punishment of incarceration by Ava, but, being the only one with some, if any, medical experience on the ship left her the only choice should the med-bay be reopened. During her inquiry between Kayto and Ava about what to do with her, Kayto inadvertently reveals the reason the Sunrider was in the system - they are searching for the Crown Jewel of Ryuvia. Claude, remembering several stories told by the locals of Tauntenia about an immense Ryuvian starship graveyard at the Mnemosyne Abyss, informs them of this, giving them a new lead and helping to ensure Claude avoids arrest by Alliance officials with the information being her form of apology for her actions. <big>A Ryder Pilot, Not a Doctor</big> Claude served as a support pilot during the Sunrider's mission to the Ryuvian starship graveyard in order to locate the Crown Jewel or Ryuvia - though whether she launched with the group or afterwards was dependent on how forgiving Kayto was of her - when they came under attack by both the automated dreadnought and a mysterious [[Seraphim|Ryuvian sniper-scout Ryder]]. After the battle concluded and the Ryder's pilot - [[Sola vi Ryuvia]] - was brought aboard, the Sunrider was assaulted by Veniczar B. Cullen's fleet, resulting in one of the Sunrider's Ryder pilots, [[Asaga Oakrun]], revealing herself as the missing Ryuvian princess and willingly leaving with the PACT fleet in order to spare the Sunrider from destruction. It is unknown what role Claude had in helping to get the Sunrider back to operational status in the wake of it's pummeling by Cullen's fleet, but it can be assumed that she may have provided emergency first-aid - if Ava allowed her, that is. However, it is unlikely that Ava would have trusted her with such a delicate task in repairing the Sunrider as, even in the short time Claude had been aboard, Ava had become immensely frustrated with the doctor-turned-Ryder pilot, labeling Claude as a "parasite." Claude's generally messy and disorganized behavior - leaving things out or leaving spilled beverages behind for others to clean up, or sleeping in well past the wake-up call - prompts Kayto to speak with Claude at Ava's behest. But when Kayto finds Claude in the mess hall - in the middle of eating a rather sizable ice-creme sundee - the topic is derailed as Claude questions Kayto's relationship and history with Ava, having guessed that the two know each other well. Kayto abashedly reveals that he and Ava had been close in high-school, prompting Claude to correctly guess that Kayto often feels awkward around her due to unresolved romantic tensions leftover from those days in a somewhat surprising gesture of perceptiveness, which Kayto reaffirms as being all too true for him. In the Sunrider Novelization, Calude also reveals to a surprised Kayto that Chigara seems to have some degree of feelings for him, though leaves it a bit ambiguous how deep they run. However, when he tries to refocus the topic on Ava's complaints with Claude's unwillingness to conform to military protocols aboard the Sunrider, she fakes narcolepsy and slumps over, pretending to be asleep - even as she "sleep-eats" to avoid her sundee melting on her - prompting an exasperated but half-bemused Kayto to leave her be. <big>Settling into the Family</big> Claude would prove Kayto's assertions of being more useful on the field correct, as the bubbly bubblegum-haired pilot's unorthodox support measures would easily compliment the Captain's equally-unorthodox style of strategizing. After Asaga's rescue from PACT, Claude would work to get better acquainted with her ship-mates and fellow Ryder pilots - sometimes to an unwanted degree as she would flirt rather unreservedly with some of them, and would also take to trying to play matchmaker among the crew. Claude would also discover at some point that Chigara was developing more then just a simple crush on Kayto, as well as knowing that the engineer took the time to observe recordings of the Captain on her security monitors on occasion. Claude eventually takes the time to advise Chigara about the latter's attraction to the Captain, calling the engineer's idea of love that of a 'pure maiden' and citing that she should be honest with Kayto about liking him - lest she take him herself and rob Chigara of the chance. In the Novel, she also jokes that even the aloof Icari seems to have lightened up noticeably around Kayto, suggesting herself and Chigara aren't the only ones that like him - much to Icari's flustered denial. However, their musing was interrupted twice over - once by fellow Ryder-pilot [[Icari Isidolde]], and once more by discovering that, further along in the recording, the newly-arrived Alliance Ryder pilot [[Kryska Stares]], who was serving as their liaison but was suspected to be a spy, was downloading data from the Sunrider's engineering core. Claude latter took part as a support unit for the Sunrider's forces during the [[Battle of Far Port]], able to fight and survive the intensive fighting even when many soldiers three times as experienced as her were killed by PACT's forces while providing support for the other Ryders. Ultimately, despite the Legion obliterating several of the Alliance ships by firing through PACT's own forces, the battle ends in their favor as Cullen's flagship is destroyed by a vengeful Asaga, killing Cullen himself, and the remaining PACT forces are soon after routed by the arrival of [[Admiral Harold Grey]] and the Alliance First Fleet. After the chaos of the battle, Claude took the chance to rejoin with the other Ryder pilots in the Sunrider's hangar bay as one of the few not left in a crippling state of exhaustion, teasingly noting that there seemed to be a strong bond - and perhaps more - growing between Icari and Kryska, much to the former's embarrassment, before joining the crew in celebrating their unlikely victory.
