I think that Blythe's combat style would be close range (so I'll scrap the beam/gun from her list) and more offensive than defensive and speed rather than armor and presice.   As for Claire and her cog, she has no weapons or such because I had more of a nurse/doctor kind of role in mind for her. If she had to fight, though, I suppose she would be defensive and rather have armor than speed. Also the reason there's not much in the lists of starting equipments and wishlists is because I honestly can't think of much...
