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. Claire initially believed dinosaurs to be little more than "assets" and beasts with limited intelligence, if any. But when she and Owen discovered a fatally wounded Apatosaurus and Owen comforted it in its final moments, it shook Claire, making her realize that they were living, thinking creatures. This realization would later evolve into a fully dedicated effort towards saving the dinosaurs, first from Mt. Sibo's eruption, and then from Eli Mills' machinations when she discovered his intents to sell the captured dinosaurs for money. But she is not above killing those who harm the ones she loves, namely a Dimorphodon that attacked Owen and attempting to kill the Indoraptor for threatening the lives of Owen and Maisie. After the fall of Jurassic World, Claire has shown to dislike her old self as she was ashamed of; who she was during her time working at the park. Also, Claire couldn't stand those who only see dinosaurs as assets; although it maybe due to how much she hated the person that she was as she was once like them. Claire even carried a lot of regret and has been seeking redemption for her actions. But through Ellie's help, Claire found in her heart to forgive herself for her actions and move on with her life. Initially, Claire wasn't sure about having a family of her own like her sister, Karen, has with Zach and Gray, as she believed that she didn't need that to be happy. But Claire realized that her sister was right as she ended up forming her own family as she has a happy relationship with Owen and they both took in Maisie as their adoptive daughter. Also, through Owen's influences, Claire has shown to enjoy living the outdoor life and learned survival skills. Appearance Claire Dearing is a Caucasian woman in her mid to late 30's, standing 5'7" with red hair and green eyes. Her wardrobe changed over the course of the series. In her debut Jurassic World, Claire's outfit was almost all white: buttoned down shirt, blazer, elastic belt with a golden buckle, and a flared midi skater skirt. However, her tank top was purple and her heels were tan-colored. During the movie, while searching for her nephews, Claire's attire (more specifically her shirt and skirt) got ruined and she abandoned some of her wardrobe. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Claire is first seen wearing a beige knee-length trench coat, a maroon buttoned shirt, dark blue jeans, and black high heels. When visiting the Lockwood Estate, Claire wore a long grey coat, a white long sleeve shirt, a grey dress, and grey heels. When the company ventured to Isla Nublar to rescue the dinosaurs, Claire wore an outfit more fitting to a jungle safari: a brown buttoned jacket, a dark green buttoned shirt, a green long sleeve shirt, dark brown cargo pants, a brown, double loop belt, and brown knee high boots. When she arrived at the Island, she took off her jacket and once her buttoned shirt was ripped, she abandoned that as well. In Jurassic World: Dominion, Claire isn't seen wearing her more fancy attire and is instead wearing outfits more suitable to an outdoor lifestyle; plaid buttoned shirts, plain t-shirts, jeans, belts and boots. When going to rescue Maisie, Claire wore a blue-green button shirt, a red colored t-shirt, midnight blue pants, a black colored belt with a type of design on it, and brown work boots. Relationships Owen Grady Jurassic-world-1 Claire and Owen during the Jurassic World incident in 2015. 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 controlled nature and Owen's loose manners clashing. Once Claire 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 Claire was ill-prepared for such a jungle trek, particularly with her high-heel shoes. However, the circumstances allowed Claire to see a different side of him. Once Claire shot a Dimorphodon which had attacked Owen, he thanked her by passionately kissing her. After the Jurassic World incident was over, Owen said they'd better "stick together, for survival". After, Claire and Owen maintained a romantic relationship. This would eventually fall apart due to various miscommunications caused by their clashing personalities. The two maintained romantic feelings for each other despite these complications. Although stilted, the two had a clear bond and interest in each other while discussing Isla Nublar and during the mission on Isla Nublar with Owen covertly asking if she had started seeing anyone and Claire telling him to stay safe. With the island putting them in peril, the two worked in tandem to survive like they had during Jurassic World. The two shared various romantic moments from Claire falling asleep on him to a heart-to-heart while locked up in Lockwood Manor. During the events with the Indoraptor, they shared a kiss indicating that neither wished to stay broken up. Afterwards, they took responsibility as co-guardians of Maisie. For the next four years, Claire and Owen maintained a stable, loving relationship. Throughout their adventure to and inside Biosyn, the couple shared many moments of physical affection and worry about the others safety. The first on-screen "I love you" was also exchanged with Owen later agreeing to Kayla's observation of, "You really love her, huh?". While Claire does not say it back in the moment, her various actions made it clear she felt the same way. After retrieving their daughter, they return to their cabin where they're last seen laughing with each other.
