Claudia[1] is one of many New Yorkers saved by the Ghostbusters during the Proteus incident.

History[]

At some point, Claudia and Natasha practiced a form of witchcraft together.[2] There was an accident and Natasha lost her life. Claudia stopped practicing.[3][4][5] During the massive uptick in spectral energy caused by Proteus' presence on the physical plane, Natasha's ghost manifested in the Garment District. Claudia happened to cross paths with Natasha after grocery shopping. Natasha blamed Claudia for her death and transmogrified. She wanted retribution but luckily, the Ghostbusters happened to be passing by and trapped Natasha. Peter Venkman waived the usual call fee and prepared the bill but Egon Spengler declared they wouldn't be charging Claudia anything since it was an exigent manifestation. Claudia thanked them and promised to repay them somehow.

While watching the news coverage of the battle between the Ghostbusters and the Proteus-possessed Atlas statue at Rockefeller Plaza, Claudia decided to cast a simple spell on the Ghostbusters to repay her debt to them. Despite her pet cat Hollis' objection, Claudia found a simple ward for protection as a compromise for her promise never to spellcast again.[6] She cast the spell just as Proteus blasted the Ghostbusters. Instead of being transported to his chosen nexus, the Ghostbusters were shunted to a parallel dimension.[7] Proteus teleported to Claudia's home and paralyzed her. Claudia was glad to hear she saved the Ghostbusters. Proteus vowed to get them back, turned her into a blue bird for interfering, and left her with Hollis. She flew to Battery Park and landed on a park bench were a man was feeding the birds. After Proteus met his demise at the hands of Janine Melnitz and Slimer, Claudia was restored to normal. Both she and the man were surprised.
