One of the biggest issues is many show fans latching onto the idea of Claudia never doing any wrong which… is not her character. There’s this very odd need to find a “perfect victim” in her, so the idea that she would ever dare to lie or manipulate is labeled as “hating” her character.
Anything that contradicts the notion that she can do no wrong will be pushed back against, but it IS book canon and they’re DOING THE BOOKS.
yep
Honestly, one of my favourite things about Claudia is that she's complex- sometimes innocent, often charming, and sometimes incredibly cruel. Making her into a simple victim ignores 1) all of the awful stuff we see her do to humans and 2) her desire to be seen as a threat, as a monster, as someone powerful.
