Personality

Claudine is pretty friendly with her classmates; she’s on a first name basis with all of them and has no trouble joking around with them. At the same time, she’s straightforward and honest. She doesn’t hesitate to call people out on their faults, such as in “First Brilliance of the Year – Takamagahara Priestesses,” where she yells at Ichie for using her self-doubt to hold back her performance. She has a lot of confidence in her abilities, which she doesn't try to hide, but she continuously puts work into staying at the top.

Claudine highly values determination. In The Fiend with Twenty Faces Claudine Saijo Bond Story 1, she says, “If you truly want it, you can't waver. It's important to have the will and determination to take what you desire.” Her determination pushes her to great heights, such as in “The Fiend with Twenty Faces’ Challenge,” where she takes on Akira’s challenge to figure out her problem with Claudine’s interpretation of Twenty Faces. It is also her determination that helps her overcome self-doubt. In the anime, after losing to Maya in a Revue, Claudine decides that, even if she is no longer the best actor around, she will continue to pursue the Top Star position because she still wants to dedicate herself to acting. On the flipside, she can get frustrated when people surpass her, but she ultimately appreciates when people challenge her and welcomes competitors.

Claudine has a lot of emotional intelligence. In “Detective Karen on the Case,” she notices early on that Yachiyo, despite her nonchalant façade, is very carefully observing her and the other Seisho performers. Because of her emotional intelligence, she is able to help people with their relationships, like when she gets Fumi and Shiori talk openly during the Revue of Gemini, putting them on the path to reconciliation.
