Claire Brewster (voiced by Tara Strong) is the secondary antagonist of the Beetlejuice cartoon. She is Lydia's rival in the real world. She constantly insults her and her friends Bertha and Prudence. Claire is rich and lives in a mansion with her parents and their servants. She is spoiled and vain. Beetlejuice hates the way she treats Lydia and punishes Claire by pulling cruel pranks on her. She's also Beetlejuice's 2nd rival, as well.
Personality
Claire is your typical spoiled princess, being overindulged by her wealthy father, Claire believes everything should go her way and because of that she clashes with her classmate Lydia. Claire hates Lydia with a passion and swears to embarrass or outdo Lydia at all costs. Claire is a narcissist who believes she is the prettiest, beloved and most popular girl of all the times, though it is clear nobody likes her. Claire is not only egotistical and overtly vain, she is cruel, unapologetic and incredibly obnoxious and shows no redeeming values whatsoever. She shows no remorse for what she does and despite all the times Lydia and Beetlejuice (under Lydia's persuasion, of course) had saved her from danger, she still keeps her hostile personality. She is also very vapid and a total airhead who cares only about looking good and being popularity. Her personality is similar to other queen bee characters such as Angelica Pickles from Rugrats and All Grown Up, Heather Duke from Heather, Mindy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Darla Dimple from Cats Don't Dance, and Penelope Lang from Atomic Betty.

Trivia
- She only apologizes once: to Alex, from Scandinavia, (see Foreign Exchange episode) for humiliating her in a fit of jealousy (as everyone says Alex is prettier then Claire), after experiencing what its like to be a foreign exchange student in a trip to Scrunglevania (a fake village in the Neitherworld via Lydia and Beetlejuice), but of course, she tells Alex to keep it a secret.
- Is the greatest golfer in the Peaceful Pines Country Club (obviously via distracting insults, cheating, and sheer luck), and became a golf-trophy in the Neitherworld for the Wormwood Golf Tournament. Beetlejuice only plays to win her out out of the fear she'd drive him crazy for the rest of his afterlife if she doesn't get out of the Neitherworld, even though Claire thinks the whole tournament is a dream (Lydia wins and tells the brat on return to the Outerworld that she fainted from a heatstroke, and BJ makes the lie convincing with a "Sunburn" face).
- The pranks BJ insists on pulling on her that Lydia disapproves include:
- Giving her a "swirly" (apparently)- Stage Fright, Foreign Exchange
- Scaring her head off Shakesperian style- Stage Fright
- Putting bugs (and other gross things he finds edible) in her clothing- Laugh of the Party, Stage Fright
- Delivering a slimy pizza (with "extra toppings") to her door- Laugh of the Party
- Putting her in a "first-class" electric chair- Foreign Exchange
- She is commonly mistaken as the main antagonist. However, Scuzzo the Clown is the main antagonist since Claire only makes a few appearances throughout the show. Plus, Scuzzo had bigger plans than anyone else.
