bio ----- Name: Clove Gender: Non-bianary Zodiac: Cancer Age: looks to be around eleven or so, but nobody knows their exact age Personality: Quiet, but not shy. They'll keep to themselves, and will usually be snarky and lash out to people who try to get to know them, which is why they don't have many friends. They're mischievous too, but they only play pranks or trick people in a sneaky matter, and never reveals themselves as the one who did it. On camera (see backstory), they're still quiet, but in a different way, acting more like a shy pet than a quiet person. Likes: Chewing on grape stems/vines, fruit-flavored chewing gum, r e v e n g e Backstory: Clove came from a family that was working on creating some kind of human-animal hybrid. They were basically trying to make some kind of human-animal hybrid things. What exactly they were trying to do, we're not sure, but when the child didn't turn out the way they wanted (which was often) they threw them out. Just dumped them out in the woods they lived near by, where most of the children would die. But a few actually survived, and Clove was one of them. They basically reverted into a mouse form, and they lived like a mouse for around 9 years. But as they grew older, holding their mouse form became harder, and they began to need to concentrate to stay a mouse, and kept reverting to human form more often, which meant they needed things like a bigger living space (because they went to human form while sleeping) and clothing. Fortunately, there was a town nearby, the town that their 'parents' lived in. And so they went scrounging around, taking things from dumpsters and trash cans, using these things to make clothing and a shelter. They also found that the food from these places was easier to get (and tastier), so they began taking leftover food from humans. They only took things when it was dark and most people were asleep, but people started to notice, as Clove (in mouse form) had an unnatural red pattern on their back, and they sometimes stole food in human form too, if they were too tired to turn into a mouse. The people of the town complained to the mayor, and she decided to set a trap. Clove, having no idea that this was happening, got caught. The mayor then decided then she would adopt them, mostly be like "oh, look how nice I am!" to to public. Clove gets adopted, is named Clove (they didn't have a name before that) and is taught how to act like a normal human. (and she only gave them clothes that matched their color palette) The media, of course, is all over this, because for heaven's sake, they have mouse ears and a tail! Still, nobody knows that they can actually turn into a mouse, and the mayor don't tell anybody about it. It's slowly getting harder and harder switch to mouse form anyway, and they'll probably eventually be unable to. The mayor isn't particularly unkind to Clove, but they don't show a lot of affection for them either. Clove gets sent to middle school, and does okay, getting almost straight B's. Their life is falling into a bit of a dull pattern, when one day their parents show up at their house... - If you read all the way down here, thank you! I know the backstory is a bit long and maybe tedious to read, but if I win this character, I might flesh it out a bit more, and I might even write a full story! again, thank you for reading it through <3
