clover iiRL

^ drawing by me on my old account, @smile-files

hello, it's ellie/clover! they/them please :)

i'm a clover fictionkin, fan, and analyzer! i love thinking about her and writing about her and drawing her and being her <3

i hope you enjoy your stay! check below for my tag list :D

according to cabby and candle, clover's aura is orange

clover watches with interest as mephone rearranges the sign letters, holding one of her leaves with her left hand

clover cries out with everyone else when mephone says "a"

even as her team is about to be changed, clover smiles and looks away distractedly

only when mephone states outright that two new teams will be formed does clover react, gasping like everyone else, but she doesn't seem particularly upset or worried

clover doesn't come off as being especially bothered by the team change; she happily looks off again

nickel is upset by being on the same team as clover, sarcastically calling the situation hunky-dory

either ignoring him or his sarcasm, clover greets him joyously and "reciprocates" his "excitement"

she then laughs in her typical childlike fashion

when mephone says he's hungry, clover sheepishly suggests he wants a "mile high pie" while shrugging and smiling goofily

the others react in shock, finding the prospect ridiculous

this is, apparently, what mephone wants

you could say clover had a lucky guess

as her new team convenes, clover stands off to the side, facing away from them

she holds one of her leaves with her right hand

clover joins the rest of her team (excluding nickel) for a group "hoo-ray", apparently having been heard goo when he proposed it

clover stands off to the side once more after the group "hoo-ray", wearing a neutral, if slightly unhappy, expression as she gazes at candle

nickel considers clover his enemy

clover, up on the platform to place a dollop of whipped cream on the top of the mile high pie, notes with mild distress that it's "way too high"

as the half-mile high pie nickel throws lands on the other half, clover is startled and flies off of the platform with a yell, sending the whipped cream flying to the top

goo puffs up to catch her

clover instantly feels bad for having been saved, apologizing to goo for inadvertently getting him "wrapped up in [her] curse"

goo counters, a tad confused, saying he wanted to save her

clover dismally wonders aloud about whether or not goo was really "meant" to save her, and proposes that he only did so because her luck made him

this suggests that clover believes others' stances towards her, including their desire to keep her at a baseline level of safety and happiness, are a result of her luck and not their independent thought

clover, disturbed, doubts goo's free will in having saved her

in fact, she seems to propose that he doesn't even have free will in thinking whether or not he has free will: that he was, too, compelled to think he does

in other words, then, clover believes others are tricked into thinking they want to be kind or even just decent to her, and that their apparent desire to do so is erroneous

clover has a big frown when the challenge continues

after her team wins the challenge, clover seems to be in a better mood

she is still processing her luck and what it means to have it

clover thanks goo and "bow" (as the cheer factory) for the distraction; apparently, on some level, they were able to help cheer her up

clover edges back from "bow" with a disturbed expression when "she" tries to show her the funny note everyone was laughing about

clover resigns herself to "stay[ing] away from everyone and everything [she] know[s] and love[s] forever" for the sake of their safety, putting aside all of her happiness and good fortune in favor of others'

she is clearly unhappy with the arrangement, smiling and laughing uncomfortably, but is apparently more terrified of the prospect of hurting people

clover is freaked out by one of her butterflies, named cordelia, so much as flying towards her, as if merely being around her is dangerous

goo and "bow" start up the cheer factory in the hopes of cheering clover up, aware of the funk she's been in

clover looks uncomfortable when called their "favorite customer"

clover's mood is not improved by the joke "bow" tells (note: the floor is speaking here, not clover)

cabby is frustrated at the cheer factory's priorities, which are skewed in favor of clover and against the team (perhaps another effect of clover's luck?)

clover goes "ooh" along with everyone else, holding her leaves, when yin-yang calls nickel out

clover looks uncomfortable when nickel lashes back at yin-yang, holding one of her leaves with her right hand

clover continues to look uncomfortable as "bow" continues trying to cheer her up

clover takes nickel's pie gag at face value, seeing it as a new and better way to "do pie"; she doesn't seem to find it funny

nickel is frustrated with clover, calling her an "awful box killer"

tea kettle aims the funny note turned paper airplane at clover; one could say it's meant to hit or reach her

notably, though, it ends up coming back to her instead, causing her to laugh and to lose: as in other circumstances, clover is spared and someone else is hurt in turn

clover feels as though she doesn't deserve any comfort or sympathy from "bow", and feels especially bad when "bow" says she does on account of being "so sweet"

while test tube is in the midst of opposing cabby, clover thinks for a moment, her right hand on her leaf, then perks up

clover lets test tube work on her idea so long as she "turn[s] that frown upside down": using cartoon logic, clover literally (and forcibly) does this by grabbing test tube's mouth and turning it around

clover puts her hands on her face and giggles playfully

test tube compliments "bow" and clover's work, but clover can't help but laugh at test tube's upside down mouth

clover happily goes over to test tube and turns her mouth back around again; test tube thanks her, apparently not having minded all too much anyway

clover tries to mediate between cabby and test tube when they begin seriously fighting

she takes a neutral stance, but chides both parties for their egos, which she says aren't valuable

clover "needs" them to smile, to stop fighting: she goes to flip test tube's frown once more, talking in a baby voice to her

test tube slaps clover's hands away and yells at her, in the first instance of a non-nickel individual being upset with her

clover stands oblivious, far away from the fight, as the hammer comes flying towards her

box ends up caught in the crossfire, taking the hit and causing clover to gasp in shock and dismay

clover is deeply troubled by box having saved her at the cost of "his" life, especially as "the hammer was headed straight towards her head" and was thus bound to hit her

nickel, hearing that clover was involved, blames her and her luck for box's fate

he then proceeds to slip on a banana peel, presumably one of the ones he left out for clover in a prior challenge, thereby providing more "proof" for himself that clover's luck hurts everyone around her

clover reflects on her luck, which she now more fully acknowledges she possesses as a supernatural ability, a "gift"; at the same time, never having considered it as a gift at all, instead of just nebulous good fortune, she had never considered how it impacted others

she says the hammer was "meant" for her, in a similar fashion to how nickel spoke of the falling safe: phrasing it in such a way that her being hit and hurt by the hammer was fate or something she deserved

my finished clover ita bag! well, i might rearrange things at some point, but at least everything's added now... i also got a bunch of clover kandi which i might show off someday :D

nickel describes the falling safe as being "meant" for clover, as if she was fated to be crushed by it or if she deserved to be

nickel believes that "her luck will be the demise of all of [them]", pointing at this instance as proof that her luck directly causes harm to others

cabby thinks to utilize clover's luck instead of going by test tube's plan, demonstrating this luck by pushing an oblivious clover off a cliff

clover is surprised at having been pushed, but upon being blown by a gust of wind back onto solid ground, she smiles and laughs, no real harm having been done to her

clover, notably, is not upset with cabby for having pushed her, nor does she ask why cabby did it in the first place

cabby concludes that clover does indeed have a special ability: this ability is a real version of the ambiguous "luck" others have ascribed to her

clover does not seem to realize how often things go her way: she takes it for granted

instead of understanding that she's supernaturally lucky, clover believes her good fortune is the result of "positive outlook" which can "will anything into existence"

clover correlates her good fortune with her own positivity, and thus implies the inverse correlation as well: that others bring about their own suffering, "dooming" themselves, by being negative
