    Clover Huntington - Serqet Fc72ad0ef56ec270c7b0502a31bb6234
    Name: Clover Damaris Huntington
    Age: Twenty, born on November 5th. Making her a Scorpio.
    Gender: Cis female.
    Sexuality: Bisexual

    Eyes: Blue
    Hair: Blonde
    Height: 5’9”
    Body Type: Lean.
    Skin Color: She has a fair complexion type.


    Talents: Cloe is highly talented in flora identification. It has been something she has expressed interest in over the years and knows various species of flowers and plants. She could even point out most poisonous plants or berries that others may not know. This comes from her parents wanting her to develop skills beyond what tutors taught her, her entire life. So Clover really got into botany and plants in general. Another talent Clover has that she just kind of picked up on was charisma. She has always been good at talking in front of crowds and getting her points across in a simple manner. Clover has mostly communicated with adults since she was little which is much of what has contributed to this talent.
    Personality: Clover is the poised and elegant woman that she envisions herself to be. She has nothing but the utmost taste in fashions and will let you know if something is more of a fashion faux pas. Clover does not care for dancing in circles to save face with others and she will more than likely tell you how it is, creating the demeanor that she is rude and cold to most people that come across and meet her. She spares no extra details and doesn’t care for excuses.

    This brunette is rather privileged and grew up being able to get away with reckless things that others may not be able to get away with. Her parents were always able to wave money at a given situation to make it suddenly disappear into the void. That does not mean that Clover has a crap work ethic. Quite the opposite actually. She was incredibly invested in all her endeavors and gave everything she did 110 percent. The part Cloe really failed at was setting her priorities straight.

    It was much more fun to sneak out or to go to parties. That or stealing a yacht was more enticing than actually doing what it was she was told she should be doing. Clover always misplaced her priorities in life because she wanted to do the fun things that made her seem cool or the things that really sparked her interest. Clover was never too invested in helping her parents fundraise money for their business or dressing up in fine gowns just to show she was the proper lady she already knew she was. Clover has a sense of cockiness about her and that she's already the best. Which comes in deep contrast with how she really feels inside. She has a facade because she doesn't want to seem less than, or she doesn't want to be deemed unworthy by her parents. She struggles with the battle of trying to please them and be enough but also making herself happy. This often puts her in a sour mood that can be known to explode in the wrong context or make shitty comments about other people. in Clover's mind, she's helping people by being honest and blunt, but she's actually hurting them and she honestly can't discern the difference.

    Much of Clover’s life has been laid out for her and she just has to say “yes” and go with the flow. She just needs to be poised and elegant, poses for the picture kind of thing. The more she creates the illusion of a happy family the more money goes into Clover's pocket. She just has to pretend, so a lot of her life has been pretending she's happy and pretending that share cares about people, but really she only cares about herself and getting herself out one day, but she doesn't have the tools to do that. This again comes down to her internal struggle to please herself or please her family. Something she goes back and forth on all the time, which is why she goes for joy rides on the yacht or sneaks liquor away because she proclaims it for her own well-being and she's doing it for her. it has to be for her because her life is in shambles according to her, but she's had everything she could ever want.

    On the inside, Clover really does have a good heart and wants to do things for others, but most people don’t see that side of her unless she lets them through her walls. She also won’t help someone who doesn’t seem to deserve it. Clover's sense of reality is fairly skewed through growing up with money being able to solve most of life's worst problems. She doesn't understand how people of the lower class live without having money and she doesn't necessarily always know the proper right and wrong having come from high-class society. Often times this makes it easy for her to view her problems as worse than others and she can't see how maybe her complaining about her issues can impact how others feel about themselves. It makes it hard to connect with people not from the same upbringing as her.
    Flaws: Much of her flaws are written above, but to sum it up, Clover is blunt to a point and doesn’t save face with people’s emotions. She also is incredibly reckless as well as selfish in her plans and is better at thinking about herself. Clover probably wouldn’t let anyone know this, but she used to be overweight, but over a year with healthy eating and dieting she managed to lose it. Often times if she were to wear a low rise bikini you would see stretch marks. Furthermore, she has rather bad body dysmorphia. It is this body dysmorphia that's the actual flaw because it makes her view her body as ugly and it makes her see herself as heavier than she is. She is constantly battling with the negative thoughts in her head and she never truly feels beautiful enough, but she hates to show that weakness. She is also almost always sporting dark circles under her eyes that she desperately tries to cover up with a concealer, color corrector, or foundation.

    Weapon: Khopesh
    Divine Path: Serqet
    Powers (have to relate to Divine Path):
    Animal Charming (limited): She is able to charm and have control over snakes and scorpions. If there are none in the immediate area then she can call on them and they may slowly come over time depending on how far away they are.

    Toxikinesis: She has some control over venom, whether that is conjuring it or using it. In addition to this she is immune to most venoms, but not all.

    Toxin relief: She is able to use two sharp pointer teeth to suck out poison or venom from others. She does this at a cost as it can do bodily damage or make her hallucinate for a while if she isn’t careful. In extreme situations, it could cause death or extreme fatigue.

    Snake Charmer: Clover is able to do a dance that can entrance others into a hypnotic state. She cannot control what they do, but she is able to distract in that kind of way. This only lasts for a certain duration of time and certain people at various skillsets could resist or break free potentially.

    Mortal Parents: Bradford and Alexia Huntington
    Pharaoh ancestor: Cleopatra VII
    Country of Origin: Wallsend, England
    Pets: A Clydesdale horse named, Petunia.
    Life Before Brooklyn House: Clover Damaris Huntington is the first-born daughter of Bradford and Alexia. Following Clover, they also had three other daughters, Serenity, Fallon, and Lillith. Being a household of four children was always a mess and was difficult for Bradford and Alexia to keep in line. The girls were either conspiring together to torture the help staff or they were fighting and needed to be ripped apart from each other.

    Her life was one that was incredibly boring for the most part. It was filled with high teas, galas, and social events that almost always stifled yawns. It wasn’t until she got older that she would swipe bottles of bubbly and sneak out with some of the boys that ran in her elitist circle. She often got into trouble with them and played the doe-eyed look perfectly to make it seem as though she was convinced to go along with their adolescent ideas and she had no choice in the matter when really she was the ring leader of it all.

    She and her sisters hardly ever went to public school, they did attend private school when they were in the country, but oftentimes they were traveling for winter or summer. They often spent a lot of time in America, but ultimately they had tutors and some of the best-renowned tutors. Clover had an incredible wealth of knowledge bestowed upon her, and furthermore, she was able to choose what some of her interests and hobbies would be. Her top three things were equestrianism, botany, and dancing.

    She took riding lessons from a young age and felt extremely comfortable on horses. She has loved horses since she was little and at one point had all the plush horses you could get or had those birthday parties where you could ride horses. Eventually, she got her first show horse, Maleficient. They were quite the pair, but after an injury that took her out of riding, they had to invest in a new show horse, which is her current horse, Petunia. Her family estate holds a trophy case with all the medals, ribbons, and trophies she’s earned over the years. It also hosted her dance competition photos and prizes. Cloe has been able to dance in salsa, ballet, and ballroom. She has loved the art of dance and it is something that her head has really dived into.

    Just after high school graduation when Clover was seventeen years of age, she was recruited by Brooklyn House to follow in the path of the gods. It honestly sounded like a hoax at first, but there was a part of her that felt really connected to everything that had been happening. She eventually made her way there to take part. It took some time to find a path she wanted to follow, but eventually, her path in Serqet just made sense.

    Clover has been there for approximately 3 years now.

    Any notes about your characters: Clover’s face claim is Frida Gustavvson and she does not have her horse with her. Her horse is back in the UK.

    Okay so there are a couple of problems with your form. The main one is that you're making a hyperprivileged character without the flaws that come with being hyperprivileged so she kind of reads like a Mary Sue :/ I can't really approve a rich kid character of the steals-daddys-yacht-for-funsies-calibre if the flaws section doesnt include things like "detached from reality", "lacks self-awareness", "majorly entitled" or "can't relate to people who aren't from her socio-economic background". For example, you say problems that arose during her childhood were easily solved by money bribes, which would give her a rather messed-up sense of morals right? Same with bullying the help staff. So maybe include things like that to make her a bit more 3 dimensional?

    You also say she has a killer work ethic but how does that line up with sneaking off to do random rich kid things because they're more fun? I'd also put a caveat about problem-solving cause if you're raised with the idea that cash makes problems evaporate, she'll struggle working through problems where hush money isnt an option.

    You get the jist. Last thing I'd say for this point is that - with her parents not teaching her to respect their staff and bribing problems away and giving her access to all the hobbies she could dream of - she must have grown up very spoiled. At least it reads like that. So if you want to keep those bits in her form, please add that in her personality or flaws section.

    Apart from that, I wouldn't say being overweight is a flaw. You could maybe write that having been overweight gave her a lot of insecurities that she's still struggling with or takes out on herself one way or another (eg negative internal monologue, or maybe she still has the habit of counting calories & over-exercising if she sees the scale go up a little, idk)

    [EDIT] Cause I hadn't checked the FC list but I think Bridget Satterlee is already claimed. Maybe message Morgan and ask if she's happy to share the fc?

    On the note about the overweight flaw. I wasn't trying to say that was the flaw, I was trying to say her situation made her realize her mental health diagnosis of BDD, but I added in a bit more to accompany how that impacts her more to make it clear.


    You can be reckless and still have a work ethic? It states that she's incredibly passionate about her hobbies and puts a lot of drive into them. It even states that her problem with her work ethic is her priority. This is me the author saying that she doesn't properly prioritize the right things. You can have a work ethic that goes towards the wrong things. That's kind of how I am. I did add more into her personality that may convey that more though.

    Edits have been made though. I'll think more about the FC issue.

    EDIT: Face claim has been changed. It didn't feel right asking considering her character with the FC I found out was also an Egyptian. So I just found another FC that fit.

    Okay, that makes sense (about the body dysmorphia).

    I see, I thought the work ethic bit was about schoolwork, not her hobbies. Thanks for clearing it up!

    Last thing I'll ask is to put post limits for the powers, and after that she's approved
