discussing claudias last name...
we know that armand calls her 'claudia de lioncourt', and I've seen people tag claudia de lioncourt and claudia de pointe du lac
i personally am heavy on the 'claudia de lioncourt'
her personality in general is closer to lestats, with the drinking of human blood, wanting a companion, her powerful mind and ambitions, but this isn't all
this is more predominant in the movie than the show, but claudia also dresses very flamboyant as her mind ages, reflecting lestat, lestat dresses in navys and elegance, while louis is very earthy - there is literally a dress that kirsten dunst's claudia wears in the movie, which is a gorgeous dress can i add, that is an identical navy blue to half of lestats outfits
going back to the show, we see both her and lestat rebelling against the great laws, they both have a love for theatre
and of course, people can have the one parents last name and be more like the other, but with claudia not having a distinct last name and the discussion of which of her fathers last name she would genuinely have...
no matter how much claudia would want to disagree with it, she is so much more like lestat than louis its ironic, and she would definitely be claudia de lioncourt
(i also think louis should be louis de lioncourt because they're husbands)
