claudia wasn't given a choice when she was turned into a vampire (unlike louis), lestat and louis turned her into a vampire because their relationship was getting rocky (couples who have children to fix their relationships, classic!), she's the only who struggles with immortality in a child's body (which actually makes her an even more active participant in her own fate and tries to make the most of it), she constantly & proactively tries to look for a life outside of louis and lestat's toxic relationship (but they keep dragging her into their mess time and time again against her will), she's given 10 minutes of screentime with madeleine but their relationship was x1000 more meaningful than louis and lestat's situationship that spans over a century. like .
