In ''[[Eclipse]]'', two-year-old Claire and her sister were down from the Makah reservation visiting their aunt, [[Emily Young]], when Claire was [[imprinted]] upon by [[Quil Ateara V|Quil]]. Quil acts like an older brother and a close friend to her, foreshadowing his possible romantic feelings when she's old enough to reciprocate, not unlike the imprinted relationship existing between [[Sam Uley]] and Emily.

Claire makes a brief appearance in ''[[Breaking Dawn]]'' with Quil, playing on First Beach right after her birthday party and [[Jacob Black|Jacob]] runs into them. It is obvious that she and Quil enjoy each other's company, much more than a father would enjoy playing peak-or-boo with his daughter for an hour. She and her sister are [[Emily Young]]'s only nieces.

The character of Claire and the controversy of Quil imprinting on her acts as foreshadowing to [[Jacob]] [[imprinting]] on [[Renesmee]], the child of [[Bella]] and [[Edward Cullen]], during the events of ''Breaking Dawn''. [[Shape-shifters]] have previously imprinted on individuals of roughly their own age, and the resulting relationships have assumed a romantic tone. Quil's imprinting on Claire demonstrates that the imprinter will actually become whatever their imprintee needs—protector, friend, confidant, etc.
