Claire Littleton

Claire was raised by a single mother in Australia. She really had no memories of her father and was told that he had died. When she was a teenager, she and her mother were in a car accident and her mother was left in a coma. Claire met her father (Christian Sheppard) for the first time in her mother's hospital room. He told her that he was paying her mother's medical bills and suggested that she turn off her mother's life support. Claire was so upset she left her father without learning his name.

Later, Claire is living with her boyfriend, Thomas, when she realizes that she is pregnant. Thomas gets cold feet and walks out on her and Claire later visits a psychic, Richard Malkin. He tells her that she is the only person who can raise her baby. After visiting her mother in the hospital, Claire decides to give up her baby for adoption. Claire then changes her mind and walks out before signing the adoption papers. She visits Malkin one more time and he tells her that there is a couple in Los Angeles who are prepared to adopt her baby. He gives her a ticket to Oceanic Flight 815.

After crashing on the island Claire becomes friends with Charlie. She also realizes that Malkin foresaw the plane crash and wanted her to go the island, forcing her to be the one to raise her child. When Jack and some other survivors move to the caves, Claire chooses to remain on the beach, but Charlie persuades her come to the caves. While living in the caves Claire has nightmares of being stabbed with a needle, but Jack dismisses her concerns. Claire leaves in anger and Charlie follows her. They encounter Ethan Rom, who hangs Charlie and takes off with Claire.

Ethan takes Claire to the Staff station, where he gives her regular doses of vaccine for her and the baby. Claire is drugged while at the station and agrees to give Ethan the baby when it is born. Alex saves her and leads her into the jungle. She is later rescued by Rousseau and returned to the survivors' beach. Claire has no memory of what happened to her while she was kidnapped, but her memories slowly return.

After Claire left, Ethan told Jack and the others that he would kill them if Claire wasn't returned. The other survivors avoid Claire, but Shannon tells her about Ethan's threats. Claire agrees to be bait for Ethan, who is then killed in an ambush by Charlie, in retaliation for what he did to Claire.

Claire goes into labor at the same time that Jack is trying to save Boone from dying, so Kate, Jin and Charlie help her deliver the baby. Rousseau later kidnaps the baby, hoping to trade it for her own baby who was taken by the Others, but Sayid and Charlie save the baby. Claire chooses to name the baby Aaron.

In Season 2 Claire still struggles with her amnesia and is annoyed when Charlie takes an overbearing fatherly role in Aaron's life. Later, Mr. Eko tells Claire that the Virgin Mary statues that Charlie is carrying contain heroin. Knowing that he was a drug addict, Claire tells Charlie to leave her and Aaron alone.

Aaron later falls ill and Claire asks Libby to hypnotize her to reveal her repressed memories. She, Kate and Rousseau later go to find the Staff station and the vaccine. Unfortunately, the station is empty. Before returning to the beach, Claire tells Rousseau that her daughter, Alex, is still alive and helped save her. Aaron recovers from his illness and Claire has recovered all of her memories.

At the end of Season 2, Claire and Charlie reconcile at Libby's funeral. After the hatch explodes, Claire kisses Charlie.

In Season 3 Desmond tells Claire to move her shelter, but she refuses and her shelter is almost struck by lightening. She is also rescued from drowning by Desmond, but isn't aware of the fact that he can see the future.

Shortly after, Desmond tells Claire about his visions and about Charlie's imminent death. After Naomi arrives, Charlie offers to turn off the jamming signal in the underwater station. Claire joins the other survivors on their trip to the radio tower.

After contacting the freighter, Claire and the other survivors head back to the beach. Along the way she learns of Charlie's death and decides to join Locke's group in Othertown, along with Hurley and Sawyer. Claire is asleep when Othertown is attacked by Keamy and the other mercenaries. Sawyer rescues her from her destroyed house. Claire decides to return to the beach with Sawyer, Miles and Aaron. Miles stares are her weirdly throughout the journey.

After making camp for the night, Claire awakes to see Christian Sheppard holding Aaron. She follows him into the jungle and he leaves Aaron behind. Later, Locke enters Jacob's cabin and finds Claire sitting with Christian. She tells Locke that she is fine and Christian warns Locke to keep Claire's whereabouts a secret.

Aaron is a member of the Oceanic 6. After leaving the island, he lives with Kate, who pretends to be his mother. Jack learns from Claire's mother that he and Claire share the same father. When Jack and Kate begin their relationship and move in together, Aaron and Jack become close.
