Profile
Drafted involuntarily into the war of Hell's Kitchen, Claire Temple pits herself in dual roles: emergency nurse by day and a healer and mender of New York's vigilantes by night. Known purely by word-of-mouth, and her identity marginally sheltered to keep the monsters off her doorstep, there is alluded talk to a "night nurse" among the street-level heroes: a woman you call for the emergencies without worries of police reports or uncovered identities. She performs unparalleled surgical work in the most sparse and bereft of conditions, maintains strict doctor-patient confidentiality, and makes damn sure her patients stay alive. She's certain she's in over her head, but she's seen too much and she's sick of being afraid. What's a woman to do?

Description
ExpandClick to expand.
Claire Temple is of average height, with long, brown, and ever-so-slightly curled hair worn in a manner most practical for her work or play. Her skin is light brown. Claire wears some jewelry (her ears are pierced), and she generally has a necklace on, but she prefers to keep those adornments simple. Her clothing is fashionable when she has a choice (and at work, she never does), but even her scrubs fit well. Her off-duty clothes are simple and flattering, but especially practical, because her night job doesn't always give her the opportunity to pull on scrubs.

The name of the game is adaptability. Claire's tremendous knowledge of how to put the human body to rights finds expression in all kinds of crazy situations. She's done light abdominal surgery on her kitchen table. Couches work as passable surgical beds, so long as the patient is lined up properly. Claire always prefers to work indoors, but she could sling up an IV bag in a back alley if necessary. It's not about the instruments, environment, and supplies -- it's about how they can be used to help her patient, wherever she is.
BRILLIANT
There's no other way to say it. Claire's brilliant, in her knowledge, her adaptability, her insight, her observation... There's not much that gets past Claire, and she doesn't even need to hear heartbeats to pick up on it. If she'd had the resources while she was getting her education, she could have made a phenomenal ER physician, but as it is, she's a /de facto/ physician (or unofficial nurse practitioner) to the superhero and vigilante community at large. Few run-of-the-mill MD's could take on such an arduous caseload, but Claire's become a guardian angel to plenty of men and women in and out of masks and aliases. She herself might not be superpowered in a way that might show up on SHIELD's radar, but what she has is utterly brilliant.
COMMUNITY NURSE
Claire is a trusted presence in her neighborhood. If someone's having trouble deciding whether going to the ER is a good idea, they ask for Claire's opinion. She's a valuable resource when the doctor's orders or the prescription instructions aren't clear. Sometimes getting set up to go to the hospital for a minor injury seems to be more trouble than it's worth, so occasionally Claire gets a knock on the door from someone who lives a floor or two from her place. She doesn't complain, considering how those calls compare to some of the other surprise medical visits she gets (that also, maybe not coincidentally, rarely knock on her door).
RN IN THE ER
Claire is, of course, a nurse. She's licensed in the state of New York to do everything a registered nurse does, and she has the years of experience to be very, very efficient in doing her work in very trying circumstances. She has experience training advanced nursing students in how to handle themselves in the emergency medicine domain, but she prefers to leave instructing the next generation to the people who actually want the preceptor job. For her part, she's got more important things to do (or so she feels).
SIGHT OF BLOOD (NOT HER OWN)
Compartmentalizing one's empathy is important for ER clinicians. The overly empathetic may be prone to cringing away from patients' illnesses and injuries, or worse, may report pain or illness themselves. Claire Temple experiences no such difficulties. She can grit her teeth, patch wounds, and stick needles with little trouble, although she may have some discomfort and distress depending on the depth of her relationship with the patient. She's not made of stone!

Resources

NO ONE'LL MISS 'EM
Disposable supplies are the lifeline for Claire's informal practice. She sneaks out whatever she can slip out of the supply closets -- suture packets, gauze, tape, and for the damn fool idiot vigilantes that keep getting themselves sliced up because they either go out when they shouldn't or because they don't have functional body armor, Hello Kitty band-aids. The hospital keeps on ordering, and as the staff keep going through the supplies like veritable popcorn, Claire has the opportunity to skim off the top.

Weaknesses

OVER IT
Knock it the hell off. Call it whatever you want -- machismo, toxic masculinity, plain ol' stupidity -- Claire's had it up to *here* with it. She has no patience whatsoever for posturing, measuring contests, or any of the other idiot games some of these powered morons play to make themselves feel superior to each other, whether it's when they first meet or when they simply disagree on a course of action. Enough's enough. Could you quit acting like jerks for long enough to take out those Doombots over there? Great, thanks.
SIGHT OF BLOOD (HER OWN)
Claire can handle seeing someone else's blood, and she can even manage to deal with seeing the blood of a loved one wounded in front of her (though sometimes with considerable difficulty). She's internalized her wariness, though, to the point that she panics if she takes a bleeding injury in all the fights among the supers and the vigilantes. Expect her to need to find where a wall joins a floor and to need to sit down for a while... Okay, need to calm down, maybe they didn't poison their weapons this time... Breathe, Claire, breathe...
TERRIBLE PATIENT
The stereotypes are occasionally true. It's not so much that she thinks she'd be victim of a Hand doc or nurse (though the thought has occurred), it's that she really, truly hates being a patient, period. Part of it is that she can be quite tough with her patients if she feels she should be, and she's not all that comfortable with being in a vulnerable position in front of them later on. The other part is that she simply hates having to submit to medical care, and she wants it to be over and done with as quickly as possible, with a minimum of disruption to her life. She's seen enough cases go south in the ER that she doesn't like to be in that precarious state herself.
