Rose was a companion/love interest. She was part of The Doctor's story. But Clara is heroine in her own story. Clara was The Doctor's apprentice. Clara made The Doctor her student/pupil. True EQUALS. Clara's time traveling with The Doctor in s7-9 is an Origin Story and we've gotten to see how she has shaped The Doctor.

Clara has seen every incarnation of The Doctor and has been a constant in his life since he was a child. Clara knows The Doctor's secret birth name. Clara named him The Doctor. Clara gave The Doctor his life mission. Clara picked The Doctor's tardis. Clara prevented The Doctor form blowing up Gallifrey. Clara got The Doctor a possibly unlimited amount of regenerations. Clara gave The Doctor his current sonic screwdriver. The Doctor gave Victorian Clara a key within her first minute stepping into the tardis. The Doctor taught Clara how to fly the tardis. The Doctor had Clara psychic link with the tardis, "slaving" the tardis to Clara.

The Doctor's oldest/longest frenemy (Master/Missy) played matchmaker to bring them together. Clara has been to Gallifrey several times and told off the Time Lords. The Doctor & Clara's relationship is literally an ancient Gallifreyan fairytale/legend.

The Doctor & Clara have the best chance of getting together. The universe may have made her death a fixed point in time so that The Doctor would do what he did (extraction, etc.), leading to Clara becoming immortal with self-healing abilities. In the future, The Doctor & Clara might spend billions of years together.

As of Hell bent, Clara is immortal, has fled Gallifrey in a stolen tardis with a broken chameleon circuit (shaped like a 1950s service structure), has sonic wear, and Trap Street as her Trenzalore. She has her own companion who looks 16 (remember Susan was 16 in An unearthly child). She was a teacher at the same school (Coal Hill) that Susan was a student. Clara is the female equivalent of The Doctor.

The Doctor showed mercy to Davros (creator of the daleks) so that Clara would live. The Doctor spent 4.5 billion years tunneling through a 20 foot wall of a substance 400 times harder than diamond--with his bare hands--solely because losing Clara would "hurt so much I won't be able to breathe". The Doctor was ready to fracture time and destroy the universe because of his need for Clara. The only way The Doctor could be apart from Clara was by having his love for her erased.
