Claudia captained her first expedition at 12. It went... not well. She is terrified of sharks and collects antique hair combs.

🐠Time for another fun fact! 🐠

Claudia captained her first mission when she was just 12 years old! She'd also never admit it, but she has a fear of sharks, and tries to avoid them at all costs. In her spare time, Claudia collects antique combs to wear for special occasions.
