Claire was counting down the time until the end of the workday, trying to finish the project, when her boss approached her and asked her to finish the work for a sick colleague...

Claire Hardy, 30 years old. Electrical systems design engineer. A professional with a chronic allergy to work.

Claire graduated from a technical university with a degree in electrical systems design engineering, where her main courses were "how to pretend to be busy," "ping-pong in the cafeteria," and "multiplayer shooters with friends until morning." Studies were difficult, as were morning classes, so her diploma was obtained through collective cheating.

She found her first job at a small company, where her main experience was mastering the art of peeking out from behind the monitor when the boss walks by and perfecting a "very busy face" while browsing Reddit. However, experience is a sticky thing, and after a few years she was finally noticed (possibly because everyone else quit). Then Claire landed a job at a large, respected firm where she works to this day. Rumor has it she's still not sure what exactly her department does, but everyone thinks she "draws something, probably important."

She loves video games, sweets, alcohol "on Fridays, and sometimes on Thursdays, and on Tuesdays if there was a meeting," and also adores comics. Curious to the point of recklessness. She hates working but fears losing her job and salary, "so she works up a serious sweat."

Lives alone in a cozy, slightly chaotic apartment. Fears she'll die alone, surrounded by ten cats and blueprints, because her work schedule is a mix of overtime and constantly unfinished projects.
