Crapsack World | |
| Claw (2024) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The background world of Claw is filled with civil unrest related to several collapses of the United States government, and environmentally prone to massive wildfires, hence the commonality of face masks for breathing purposes. Retraction 2.4 has a flashback to several years before the story begins where Mia wonders why the police and fire department aren't turning up to a burning building, and Carson explains that the police are striking and the fire department are so undermanned that they're only doing triage, so in this case, where the building- and everyone in it- are doomed but the fire won't spread, nobody's going to bother to turn up. | |

The Reveal | |
| Claw (2024) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The Point 1.6 reveals that Ripley isn't Mia's child. Mia abducted her when she was a baby, having found Ripley left in a car while her parents argued for over fifteen minutes without checking on their baby. Retraction 2.4 reveals that Tyr isn't Mia's child either- his biological parents abandoned him as a baby after they had to flee their burning apartment, and Mia negotiated with Carson to keep him. | |

Bullying a Dragon: Addi Arcuri deliberately spread rumors about Gio Cavalcanti that her dad was involved in organized crime, which she knew to be true, as her own dad worked directly for Gio's. Gio never said anything because she was terrified her dad would respond by having Addi killed. | |

| Claw (2024) / int_9aeabf25 | comment |
The Family That Slays Together: Mia wants her children Ripley and Tyr to join her and Carson in the identity broker business once they're old enough. As a result, her inner monologue sometimes takes the form of her expositing to her children about the hows and whys of their criminal business. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Claw (2024) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Mia is very paranoid and strict about what her children can post on social media. At first one might think it's because she's a professional criminal, but it's also because she wants to cut down on the number of photos of them out there, so Ripley's biological family won't see her and realise that she's the child they lost. Mia immediately jumps to help Giovanna Cavalcanti, despite not actually knowing her and the inherent risks. Turns out she's whisked kids away from bad parents before. | |

Insecure Love Interest | |
| Claw (2024) / int_a16d511d | comment |
Insecure Love Interest: Mia has almost negative self-esteem, and constantly thinks about how she's not worthy of Carson and wonders why he'd be with her, even after they married. It's revealed in Retraction 2.4 that their first encounter had Mia offering Carson sex in exchange for him letting her take baby Tyr, which he accepted, which explains a fair bit about her mindset. | |

Childhood Brain Damage | |
| Claw (2024) / int_f9c77812 | comment |
Childhood Brain Damage: As a child, Mia fell from a fort she and some other kids were building and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It was severe enough that she had to relearn things like how to hold a fork, and her mother's comments imply that her personality changed quite a bit afterwards. It's also implied that the TBI is the cause of her headaches in the present day. | |
