==Biography==
===Jurassic World===
Claire was a park operation manager and one of the scientists who researches dinosaurs. She is a workaholic, who is always busy. She hasn't had time to date or even socialize since working here.
She barely has time to see her family, mostly her sister Karen Mitchell. Karen's sons Zach and Gray visit their aunt at her job in the theme park called Jurassic World. She was supposed to spend time with them, but work needed her. She sends her assistant Zara Young to show her nephews around the park. They will meet tonight for dinner.
The kids get lost in the park or accidentally lose their tour guide. Gray loves his aunt Claire's job and is really excited to see some dinosaurs. Her nephews got lost in the park. Claire had her own problems, she is asked by her boss to assist her boyfriend Owen Grady, a Velociraptor expert and trainer to inspect the Indominus rex, who needs to be checked.
The Indominus had a tracking system when they found out it was loose. But when she wasn't loose, the I. rex set them up so she can escape and terrorize the park. This was planned by Vic Hoskins, who wants to use the I. rex as a weapon for the military.
Claire and Owen went to look for them and found them. All four of them escape Jurassic World and take down the Indominus rex, mostly the Velociraptors on the I. rex's side, but not all of them. One of the Velociraptors (Delta) killed Hoskins.
Claire suggested the T. rex coming out from the exhibit from the first movie, Rexy, to help take down the I. rex. Both of these dinosaurs fight, but the I. rex gains the upper hand. However, the last surviving Velociraptor, Blue, helps Rexy fight off the I. rex, which is devoured by the Mosasaurus.
Claire and her sister Karen reunite and Zach and Gray respect Claire and want to spend more time with her. Claire and Owen declare their love.
===Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom===
In the movie, she founded the Dinosaur Protection Group to organize a rescue mission to save the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar from Mount Sibo's impending eruption that threatens to send the dinosaurs back into extinction.
She is betrayed by Eli Mills and left to die on the island after he got what he wanted: Blue. She, Owen Grady, and Franklin Webb manage to escape by sneaking onto the boat as it's leaving the island. She learns that Eli only wanted the dinosaurs so that he could auction them off to the highest bidder. Planning to stop him, Owen and Claire head to Lockwood Manor but are caught by Eli's men.
They are imprisoned among the dinosaurs and are too late to stop the auction. They escape with the help of a Stygimoloch and run into Maisie Lockwood. Together they enter the auction room where the Indoraptor is being bid on. They agree that the Indoraptor can't be allowed to leave the building.
Claire and Maisie watch as Owen, with the help of the Stygimoloch, ends the auction by force. Owen reunites with Claire and Maisie but they run into Eli. They learn that Maisie is a clone of Benjamin Lockwood's daughter. The Indoraptor attacks and they are chased around the main floor of Lockwood Manor. Claire is injured and encourages Owen to go after Maisie who is being pursued by the Indoraptor.
Claire is later on the rooftop with a gun pointed at the Indoraptor who is poised to attack Owen. She encourages it to do so with the laser and the Indoraptor almost falls through the glass roof. The Indoraptor manages to catch himself but does end up plummeting to his death after Blue jumps on him.
Claire is told by Zia Rodriguez and Franklin that the dinosaurs are dying due to the ventilation being broken. The only way to save them is to open the doors and let them run free. Claire goes to push the button to let them out but hesitates and decides against it.
Maisie ends up being the one to open the gates, letting the dinosaurs out into the world. The group leaves the manor and says goodbye to Blue, who runs off into the North Californian wilderness.
After renewing her relationship with Owen, Claire goes with him and Maisie as they are seen driving down the highway to an unknown destination.
===Jurassic World: Dominion===
Claire lives with Owen and Maisie in a cabin in Sierra Nevada woods. Claire and Owen adopted Maisie after the Lockwood incident. Scared someone will want to have her because of her cloning origins, they live isolated. One day Maisie gets kidnapped by a man named Rainn Delacourt. Claire and Owen reach out to Franklin, who now works with the CIA, to find out where Maisie was taken. It turns out she was taken to Malta, Italy. Claire and Owen go to Malta with a CIA team to stop a dinosaur sale and find Maisie. Barry, head of the CIA team, tells them to stay out of it. But they don't. They go to an underground dino market, where Claire tries to find someone that can help them find Maisie. She comes across Kayla Watts and shows her a picture of Maisie. Kayla saw Maisie while she was being taken to BioSyn's plane. Kayla rejects her and tells her to go about it. Then Owen tells Claire a woman named Soyona Santos knows where Maisie is being taken to. Claire follows Soyona Santos into an apartment. Seeing Claire, Soyona attacks Claire with a knife.
A fight occurs but Claire overpowers her with a shock gun. She makes Soyona tell her where Maisie is being taken to. It turns out she was kidnapped by BioSyn. Soyona sends an Atricoraptor onto Claire using a laser command. Claire runs away from the raptor. Then Kayla jumps in and takes Claire in her truck. Together they try to outrun the raptors. Finally, they make it to Kayla's plane. Owen is still getting chased by Atricoraptors but manages to hop onto the plane. Kayla accepts helping them and taking them to the BioSyn Sanctuary.
As they make their way to the sanctuary, Biosyn unleashes a Quetzalcoatlus. It attacks the plane and deactivates it. Turns out there is one parachute in the plane. Owen tells Claire to use it and save Maisie. He kisses her and tells her, "I love you". Claire then starts to land but gets attacked by Pteranodons. She falls and gets stuck to a tree. There, a half-blind Therizinosaurus feels her presence and starts to search for her. She releases herself and falls onto the ground. She starts to crawl to a small lake to get away from the dinosaur. She gets into the lake. The Therizinosaurus then loses interest and leaves.
She starts walking around the forest until she reaches some kind of research outpost. She sees movements in the bushes and hears the sound of Dilophosaurus. The Dilophosauruses start to appear as she tries to climb the outpost. One comes face-to-face with her, but Owen and Kayla save her.
Later a car comes crashing near there and out of it comes Alan, Ellie, Ian, and Maisie. Claire, Owen, and Maisie embrace each other. Claire thanks the original trio for taking care of Maisie.
Biosyn's owner Lewis Dodgson accidentally starts a forest fire in the sanctuary. As the forest burns, dinosaurs start to panic and run. A Giganotosaurus comes near the outpost and starts attacking them. All seven of them get into the outpost where the dinosaur can't reach them.
Kayla says to take off they should disable the power to get out of sanctuary via plane. Claire and Ellie disable the power while Owen, Alan, and Maisie capture Blue's baby, who was also kidnapped. They take off with a plane.
After reuniting Blue and her baby; Claire, Owen, and Maisie go on living as a family.
==Personality==
According to Bryce Dallas Howard, Claire's actress, she is a "workaholic" and has a Type A personality. This was demonstrated by her actions when on a date with Owen Grady: she printed an itinerary, refused to drink tequila, and criticized Owen's attire. 
She was devoted almost entirely to her job and was very good at it, but had found little time for personal pursuits and was a bit cold and aloof. 
Initially believing the dinosaurs to be little more than beasts with limited, if any, intelligence, she was shaken when she discovered a fatally wounded Apatosaurus and Owen comforted it in its final moments, which made her realize that they were living, thinking creatures.
==Trivia==
*Kristen Stewart was considered for the role of Claire Dearing but was deemed too young.
*Drew Barrymore and Kristen Wiig were also considered for the role of Claire.
*In the novelization, Claire removes her high heels and goes on barefoot.
*The prequel book The Evolution of Claire revealed one of reasons behind her misgivings toward dinosaurs in Jurassic World until Indominus Rex' rampage; an incident with transferred velociraptor during her intern at the park as part of Bright Minds program.
