Clare Arnold
Kathleen Robertson portrays Clare Arnold (Seasons 4–7), who met the group while she was a senior in high school and they were college freshman. She stayed through a few middle seasons. She is known for her high IQ and for being the somewhat-wild daughter of a wealthy diplomat and CU chancellor. She first appeared midway through Season 4 aggressively, yet unsuccessfully, pursued Brandon while she was still a high school student and he was in college. In Season 5, she became Kelly and Donna's roommate in the beach apartment and started CU as a college sophomore. Clare evolved throughout the show; at first she was wild-child bad girl, but she eventually matured and became an intricate part of the gang. She was romantically involved with David in Season 5 and Steve in Seasons 6 and 7, becoming the first girl to nail Steve's feet to the ground. She almost moved in with Steve but her anger over his mom breaking up with her father doomed their relationship; she received an offer to attend graduate school in France, and she and Steve broke up after their CU graduation.

“I hid my love when young till I
Couldn’t bear the buzzing of a fly;
I hid my life to my despite
Till I could not bear to look at light:
I dare not gaze upon her face
But left her memory in each place;
Where’er I saw a wild flower lie
I kissed and bade my love good-bye.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)

I come not here to be your foe!
I seek these anchorites, not in ruth,
To curse and to deny your truth;”
