Early life
Not much is known about Claire Dearing's except that she has an older sister, Karen. At some point in her life and before or after Jurassic World's opening, she was hired to be senior assets manager for the titular dinosaur park.

Isla Nublar Incident (2015)
Sometime in June, her nephews, Zach and Gray, visited her and her place of work. As her job did not allow her to spend a great deal of time with them, she had her assistant Zara Young look after them while she received Verizon Wireless investors who wanted to learn about the park's new attraction, a genetic hybrid named Indominus rex. After meeting her nephews at the Innovation Center, she received the visiting CEO of Jurassic World Simon Masrani, and brought him to the Indominus rex Paddock. Masrani asked her to bring Velociraptor trainer and behaviorist Owen Grady to check the paddock for flaws, and she reluctantly went after the trainer given their uneasy relationship.

During their visit to the paddock, the I. rex eventually escaped from captivity and went on a chaotic romp throughout the park. She went back to the Control Room, and after seeing the first attempt on capturing the dinosaur fail, requested an emergency shutdown of the park's attractions. After finding out Zara was not with her nephews, she called them and discovered they were on the Gyrosphere attraction. Once discovering the boys were riding a sphere into the restricted area where the I. rex was loose, she decided to go after them, forcing her to again collaborate with Owen. While trailing the nephews, they found the Gyrosphere damaged and one of the Apatosaurs wounded. Once they reached the abandoned Visitor Center, they figured the boys had fixed one of the Jurassic Park Jeeps to drive back to Jurassic World, and were attacked by the Indominus rex. They witnessed Masrani's helicopter be brought down by escaping pterosaurs from the Jurassic World Aviary, and ran back to the park while Pteranodon and Dimorphodon flew above them.

After reaching Main Street, Claire and Owen were attacked by a Dimorphodon that tried to carry Owen away, leading Claire to grab his rifle and shoot the pterosaur to put it to sleep. Shortly afterward she found her nephews and escorted them to safety in the Mobile Veterinarian Unit MVU-12. While checking Owen leading Blue and the rest of his Velociraptors to hunt the Indominus rex  on her tablet, Claire had to start the vehicle and drive away once the I. rex tricked the raptors into turning against the humans. During the chase, Echo particularly attacked the drivers seat and almost killed Claire in the strike.

Entering the Hammond Creation Lab, Claire finds the InGen Security Division has commandeered the building, and Vic Hoskins reveals he had ordered the creation of the Indominus rex seeking a living weapon. The Velociraptors attack, forcing Claire's group to go out to Main Street. Owen convinces the raptor pack to attack the I. rex, but once Gray concludes they "need more teeth" to defeat the hybrid, Claire figures a solution. She calls Lowery Cruthers to open the T. rex paddock, and uses a flare to attract Rexy the T. rex into attacking the I. rex.

After the evacuation, Claire is on the warehouse with the rest of the survivors when she sees her sister and brother-in-law arriving. She hugs Karen before leaving the nephews to their parents and leaves together with Owen.

Personality and traits
According to Bryce Dallas Howard, Claire's actress, she is a "workaholic" and has a Type A personality.

Gray & Zach
Claire cared a lot for her nephews, even if her workaholic tendencies made her barely see them - prior to them visiting Jurassic World, it was 7 years before her last visit, and she does not know the boys' exact ages. During the Isla Nublar Incident of 2015 she shows much care for them and goes to lengths to protect them.

Owen Grady
Claire and Owen had many personality differences which ensured their relationship was an uneasy one. The two had a date, but it did not work out, with Claire's control freak tendencies and Owen's overtly loose manners displeasing each other. Once the park direction asked her to bring Owen to inspect the Indominus rex pen, the two were frequently insulting each other during the assignment. Once the I. rex broke free and Claire and Owen had to look for her nephews, Owen complained that she was not prepared for such a jungle trek, particularly her high heel shoes. However, given the whole incident made Claire and Owen tend for each other, they started to develop an emotional bond. Once Claire shot a Dimorphodon which had attacked Owen, he thanked by passionately kissing her. After the Isla Nublar incident was finished, Owen said they'd better "stick together, for survival's sake".

LEGO Jurassic World
A minifigure of Claire Dearing is included in the LEGO Jurassic World set 75917 Raptor Rampage. Her minifigure has a double sided head, one side showing her serious while the other shows her scared. However, her prototype depicted her smiling instead of her being serious like in the final version.

Behind the scenes

 * Claire never drops the high heel shoes during the entire Isla Nublar incident. Given the scenes revolve around much running, Bryce Dallas Howard had to endure specific training learning how to move fast in the uncomfortable shoes, while adding that "it’s way better than running barefoot in a jungle.”
