Claire was an anomaly in every sense of the word. Her distinct heritage made her stand out, even in the celestial realm where she resided. Her dual-toned wings, one black and the other white, were a constant reminder of her unique parentage.

Crowley and Aziraphale were both proud and worried parents. They knew Claire's life wouldn't be easy, but they were determined to help her navigate through it. Every night, they would take turns soothing her to sleep with their respective remedies.

When Claire was a baby, she had a penchant for tea and fast car rides. Her eccentricities didn't lessen as she grew older. Now, at 17, she had developed a taste for rock n roll and classical music.

Her rebellious streak only grew stronger as she got older. This was evident in her choice of music, her stubborn refusal to follow rules, and her eyes that would occasionally flash yellow when she was up to mischief.

One day, while taking a shower, Claire started singing a song that resonated with her. It was “Blurry” by Puddle of Mudd. She sang with all her heart, letting the lyrics reflect her inner turmoil.

Outside the bathroom, Crowley and Aziraphale overheard Claire's rendition. They exchanged glances, a mix of concern and understanding in their eyes. They knew their daughter was growing up, and it was a challenging phase.

Later that evening, Crowley took Claire for a drive. He turned up the volume of the rock n roll music, hoping it would help to ease her mood. They drove in silence, the music filling the space between them.

When they returned home, Aziraphale was waiting with a cup of tea for Claire. She accepted it gratefully, her eyes still echoing the melancholy of the song she had sung earlier. The tea, like always, brought her some comfort.

Late at night, Claire sat in her room, her gaze fixed on the stars outside her window. Her thoughts were a whirlwind, but the reassuring presence of her parents made her feel grounded. Despite her unique heritage, she was just a teenager, after all.

As days passed, Claire continued to navigate her teenage years with her parents by her side. Despite the challenges, they were there, understanding, supporting, and loving her unconditionally. And that, for Claire, was all that truly mattered.
