Claire Carlson is the youngest daughter of Harry Carlson and sister to Melissa. At the moment, she is 12 years old, but when she first appeared in #Symbiosis, she was only 6. #JusticeKeepers #scifi 1/7

Claire is mouthy, headstrong and a bit of a troublemaker. She's reached that age where she sees all the adults around her going on missions and saving the world, and she desperately wants to be part of the team. #scifi 2/7
