Info:During plague-torn New Orleans, just fifty years after Lestat's conversion of Louis into a vampire, Louis's conscience plagues him with questions of morality and damnability.

Torn with grief and annoyance of Lestat's presence, Louis goes for a guilt-driven, rain soaked walk through the plague-sealed houses near the wharf, where the plague had hit the strongest. In a shack, Louis had found Claudia trying to wake her mother, long since dead from plague and decaying, her father long since fled and leaving this child behind. Claudia was already beginning to show signs of the plague herself.

Louis took pity on the orphan and intended to take her to an orphanage. However, being starved down by a self-inflicted need to drink the blodd of rats rather than humans, he starts to feed on her. Before he could finish, Lestat had derived his hiding and mocked him. Louis ran, leaving Lestat to either end her life in kindness or bring her over to the "dark gift." This is why, when Claudia later asks who made her, she is told they both did. Louis ended her mortal life and Lestat gave her a new one.

The three of them formed a "family" of sorts, with Claudia adopting Louis' love for books and morality, but also Lestat's fondness for playing with victims before their death. A memorable scene in both the novel and the film is Lestat and Claudia falling in love with a poor family, and feeding on them. This peace was to last approximately 65 years.

It is Claudia's maturity that brings the "family" to an end, as she discovers that she will never mature into a woman, and is trapped in a child's body, similar to a porcelin doll. Claudia then attempts to kill Lestat by allowing him to feast on two boys who appeared drunk and unconscious, but were dead and their blood was poisoned by the effects of laudenum, then by slicing his throat open. They dump his body in a swamp, only for him to return 3 nights later, scarred and hideous. After accidentally setting their flat alight, Louis and Claudia flee to Europe, in search of other vampires who can teach them of their true nature.

With little success, they arrive in Paris, and discover a "coven" of vampires, who pretend to be actors pretending to be vampires. Armand is the head of this coven, and falls in love with Louis. However, Claudia's existence is seen as an abomination. Armand allows his coven to kill her, along with Madeleine, a woman she had chosen to be her 'mother', by exposing them to direct sunlight in a sealed room, similar to the bottom of a well. Armand explains he did this out of love for Louis, and with selfish reasons.

Claudia Daniels was born to Paul and Lois Daniels on December 17, 1987. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York so she's street smart. She graduated within the top ten of her class and is now attending college. She does not know much about her previous life, but she does sometimes dream about it and there have been random flashes here and there of rememberance, but its like she's remembering someone else entirely. She was also a gifted child right from the start, and she's often plagued by visions of those in danger or sometimes completely random things.
