In the Games
Clair's title is "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon".
Decending from a long line of Dragon-type trainers, Clair speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She claims she can hold her own even against the Elite Four. Her only known loss had been to her cousin, Lance. Upon defeat, she won't admit Gold's/Kris's skill unless they pass the "dragon user challenge", at the shrine in the center of Dragon's Den. After that challenge is met, Clair hands over the badge, after her grandfather threatens to tell Lance about her reluctance, and says to win at Pokémon League, otherwise she'll feel worse about her loss.
When Silver trains in the Dragon's Den, it's said he acts as Clair did in her youth.
In addition to the Risingbadge, Clair gives out TM 24, Dragonbreath, in Pokémon Silver, Pokémon Gold, and Pokémon Crystal.

In the Pokémon Special Manga
Claire was one of the first of the Gym Leaders to face Suicune. Despite her efforts, she was outclassed by its tactics, and lost rather quickly, due to Suicune's use of Mist to create a reflection or illusion of itself.
Later, at the Gym Leaders Challenge, she was to face off against Blaine. This was an important matter for her, because as Lance's cousin, she thought that Blaine would know what become of Lance after Blaine and Lance's battle at Cerise Island the year before.
During the attack by Team Rocket, which ended up with all the Gym Leaders trapped on the recently completed bullet train, she forced Blaine into fighting their duel. Blaine quickly won due to Entei's powerful attacks. Thus, the Kanto Gym Leaders claimed victory, with four wins, three loses and one draw.
