==Characterization==
Claire Defoe is characteristically very relaxed and patient, more in tune to art than anything else. She was neverrarely seen actually creating any art of her own (the only example on-screen was her making something out of yarn during a teacher's convention in [[The F Word]]), but she did delight in nurturing the talents of others, particularly [[Jane Lane]]. Jane appears fond of Defoe as well, helping her with protest signs in "[[Lucky Strike]]" even though she'd just stated she'd tell any teacher asking her help "where to stick it".
 
Defoe appears or is referenced in both Daria books ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'' and ''[[The Daria Database]]''. From the books it is revealed that she resented to have to choose between "Arts" and "Crafts" and that she makes wind chimes and macramés plant holders (the later she plans to sell). It is also revealed that she lives in a studio apartment with some freeloading students that she doesn't have the heart to throw out (a theme that has been explored in some fanfiction stories).
 
It has been theorized by fans that DeFoeDefoe could have an hippie past.
 
==In Fanfiction==
 
Defoe doesn't appear in a lot of fanfiction, but there are some that give her highlighted roles. In [[Richard Lobinske]]'s [[Falling Into College]] series, she mentors Jane when she returns to Lawndale High as her assistant before leaving for college. Later in the series, she is appointed Principal when [[Ms. Li]] is arrested for grade-fixing.
It has been theorized by fans that DeFoe could have an hippie past.
