She was a six year old child when Louis de Pointe du Lac found her, in New Orleans in 1800, and fed from her. Lestat de Lioncourt found the two, and later gave Claudia his blood to drink, thus making her a vampire child. Louis was now bound to Lestat because of his love for Claudia. She was doomed to live forever in a child's body as her mind matured. She soon grew to hate Lestat for what he had done to her. In the spring of 1860, sixty-five years after her making, she tried to kill him only to have him return three nights later. Louis then set fire to Lestat and the house they shared, escaping with Claudia to Europe.
