She has three younger siblings, Adam McLeod, who was stillborn, Tess Silverman McLeod, and Jodi Fountain McLeod, although Claire has never known that Jodi was her sister. Growing up on the farm, life was difficult for Claire. She missed Tess, who had taken off to the city with her mother when she was five years, and she helped out on the farm as much as she could. She dropped out of school at the age 15 to help her dad fulltime and learn about running a farm on your own. As a teenager, she was best friends with Alex Ryan and Stevie Hall, and was always meant to marry Alex' younger brother Nick so merge Drover's Run with Killarney, the Ryan property. When Tess returned to Drovers almost 20 years later, Claire found it difficult to bond with her, as she expected Tess to give up on this lifestyle soon and go back to the city. However, Tess decided to permanently stay at Drovers, and the two began to bond and became best friends. Along with Tess, Meg, Jodi and Becky, Claire ran Drover's Run against everyone's expectations, and managed to keep the farm from going bankrupt. One of her plans to expand the farm's finances was to start a breeding program. In 2001, Claire met Peter Johnston, a man who ran Australian Bloodlines and was in contact with Claire due to her breeding program. Although they didn't like each other at first, there was an instant attraction and it wasn't long before they shared their first kiss. They started dating pretty soon afterwards, and things seemed to be going alright for Claire, even when Tess moved back to the city to run a cafe. However, Claire found out from Becky not much later that Peter was actually married and had two daughters. After confronting him, Peter told her he'd leave his wife, and they tried again, but Claire couldn't live with the thought of ripping apart a family, so she left Peter and told him to go back to his wife and daughters. She ran into him again few months later and had a one-night stand with him, but immediately regretted it. She fell apart after discovering she was pregnant, but lied to Peter and Alex pretended he was the father of Claire's unborn baby. This was the beginning of a very close relationship between Claire and Alex. Although they had been friends for years, it wasn't until then that they started to feel attracted to each other, and felt connected to the baby, even though Alex wasn't the real father. After Claire gave birth to Charlotte Prudence, Alex was very protective of the little girl and considered himself her father. When Alex, Claire and Charlotte went to Melbourne for business arrangements, they came to the conclusion that they've been in love with each other for a very long time and decided to give a real relationship a try. After moving with each other, Alex revealed to Nick he planned on proposing to Claire. In the meantime, Claire, Tess and Charlotte went to town to pick up supplies, and on their way back, after trying to avoid a brumby, they hit a pothole and ran into tree with their car and ended up dangling over the edge of a cliff. Desperate to save her daughter, but stuck under the steering wheel herself, Claire asked Tess to get Charlotte out and get her into safety.

She was attracted to Alex Ryan upon meeting him, but couldn't explain the connection she had with Alex' younger brother Nick. Although they had tried many times, a relationship between them didn't seem to work, sometimes due to Tess' fear of commitment, but mostly because of Liz Ryan, who didn't think Tess was good enough for Nick and sabotaged their relationship many times. When Nick became involved with an old friend, Sally, Tess thought she lost him for good, so she started dating local vet Dave Brewer and even became engaged to him. However, after discovering a lump in her breast, she realised Dave had not gotten over his late wife's death. She broke up with him because he needed to focus on his recovery from grief (that he had delayed for far too long). She soon discovered she didn't have cancer and was as healthy as possible, but her happiness soon passed after she and Claire had an accident, and Claire died. Trying to live on without her sister, Tess was now full time owen of Drover's Run and hired Claire's old friend Stevie Hall to become the manager, and ultimately part-owner. After Peter Johnston, Claire's ex, returned and filed for custody of their daughter Charlotte, Tess and Alex fought hard to keep her, but in the end, Tess remembered what it was like for her to grow up without a sister, and let Peter get full custody of Charlotte.
