Claudia Donovan is a fictional character from the US television series, ''Warehouse 13'' (2009–14), portrayed by Allison Scagliotti. A talented computer hacker and inventor, she is inducted as an employee of Warehouse 13 during Season 1, becoming a regular character thereafter. Claudia has an elder brother, Joshua Donovan and an elder sister, Claire Donovan. == Character history == Claudia is very intelligent, resourceful, and technologically savvy, but has no college education. At the conclusion of season one, she is known to be 19 years old, though she has her 21st birthday party in season four. Claudia's parents died when she was very young, and for some years she was raised by her older brother, Joshua. When Josh disappeared, presumed dead, Claudia had to fend for herself with no money until Josh was found. As revealed in the season 1 episode "Claudia", about twelve years prior to that episode's main timeline, Joshua had met Artie Nielsen while attending college. Posing as a professor, Artie attempted to dissuade Joshua from pursuing a dangerous experiment in teleportation. The experiment went badly wrong, with Josh disappearing in a brilliant flash of light. Believing him dead, Claudia lost the only family she had left. About ten years later, and six months prior to the events of "Claudia", Claudia began to have visions of Joshua. Believing herself to be going insane from grief, she checked herself into a psychiatric care clinic. Eventually she came to realize that Joshua was, in fact, alive and trying to contact her from the immaterial prison of the inter-dimensional limbo that resulted from his experiment. After about four months in the psychiatric ward, Claudia checked herself out and began efforts to rescue her brother. Blaming Artie for what happened to Joshua, Claudia first hacked the American power grid in order to identify pockets of large, unexplained, energy usage. Doing so, she located Warehouse 13 in the badlands of South Dakota, and hacked into its computer mainframe. Shortly after, in the main timeline of "Claudia", she arrives at the Warehouse and abducts Artie, taking him to the site of her brother's failed experiment. Once there, she forces Artie to help her recreate the conditions that led to Joshua's disappearance. When Artie realizes that Claudia is not insane, he willingly helps in her rescue attempt. They successfully enter the inter-dimensional space where Josh is trapped, completing the instruction engraved on Rheticus' compass in order to bring them all back to the corporeal realm. Upon Artie's return to the Warehouse, Mrs. Frederic tells him that Claudia could pose a threat to the Warehouse and that he must deal with her, telling him "You know the options." Given Claudia's technological aptitude and ingenuity, and some convincing from Leena, Artie opts to offer her a job at the Warehouse, which she readily accepts. Most of her initial work involves record-keeping, filing, and taking inventory, which she finds to be a mind-numbingly tedious waste of her skills. Bored with her assigned tasks, she takes up personal side projects, including repurposing a spectroscope into a 3D hologram imager. As Claudia gains experience, Artie begins to expand her Warehouse duties and responsibilities. Originally classified a probationary associate, Claudia's first mission as an apprentice comes in season 2's "For the Team", when she accompanies Myka Bering to find the artifact responsible for mysterious deaths on a college wrestling team. Her first mission as senior agent comes in season 3's "Trials", when she and new agent Steve Jinks are sent to snag Typhoid Mary's knife. During the events of Warehouse 2's reactivation in the season 2 episode "Buried", Mrs. Frederic explains to Claudia that everyone at the Warehouse has a purpose, and that she has to be prepared. It is later revealed to Claudia that her purpose is to be a backup "caretaker" for Warehouse 13 in the event that Mrs. Frederic is killed. Claudia hesitantly begins to undertake the procedure to become the warehouse caretaker before Agents Bering and Pete Lattimer manage to deactivate Warehouse 2. Frightened, Claudia reveals to Artie that she's not ready to be caretaker and makes him promise to never put her in that position, to have something done to her against her will, again. It is revealed in season 3's "Don't Hate the Player" that Claudia's experience in the psychiatric hospital has left her with the fear that her life is not real, but a creation of her imagination and she is still locked in the institution being given electroshock therapy. In the Season 4 episode "No Pain, No Gain", Mrs. Frederic tutors Claudia about the warehouse and its artifacts — how they are created and that not all of them may be dangerous. Claudia eventually overcomes her trepidation and realizes that she wants badly to become caretaker of Warehouse 13, which she reveals to Abigail Chow in the episode "Instinct". During the Season 4 episode "Runaway", Artie plans a surprise party for Claudia's twenty-first birthday, but Claudia wishes to have her party at the local bar. Cherie Currie makes a guest appearance, and invites Claudia up to the stage to do a duet of "Cherry Bomb". In the series finale of Season 5 episode "Endless", the show flash-forwards "several decades" into the future, and it is revealed that Claudia has become the caretaker of the Warehouse, and that Warehouse 13 is still in operation in South Dakota. She appears to three future agents to counsel them on retrieving a newly detected artifact (possibly Obama's basketball). Claudia notices glaring similarities between the "future agents", and Artie, Myka, and Pete. As the show ends, Claudia is seen at King Arthur's roundtable viewing memories of her former fellow agents, and friends. A series of voiceovers is then heard of all the series' agents each repeating the words "Endless wonders", making reference to a phrase that Artie stated more than once during the shows' run. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claudia Donovan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
