• Speech: Clementine is a mezzo-soprano with a deep, sultry sound that is naturally aclimated to both public speaking and private audiences. It becomes obvious upon meeting her that she has learned how to use her voice as a tool.
• Scent: Evergreen, salt, marsh, Salcedo, Revlis, Winters.
  • Note: Clementine disguises her Salsolan scent (masking it with lavendar, lilac, and american gooseberry) when outside its borders.
• Physical Expression and Quirks:
  • Clementine carries herself with the posture of an upright patrician; that is, carefully and well. She is open, polite, and engaging with others, but firm when it comes to displays of rank and status (given and received).
  • Frequently copies others body language, (having discovered along the way that strangers, acquaintinces, and friends are more likely to identify with her subconsciously) eg. touching her hair if someone else does.

Born into a highly humanized and 'wealthy' family, Clementine does not break the mold in this regard. She favors—for the moment—anything that is pure white, ivory, or of a similar shade, though she values anything that is skillfully made. Although unafraid to get dirty literally or metaphorically, she incredibly clean, and takes great care to keep everything she owns immaculate. When visiting foreign dignitaries or packs, she often makes a great show of her wealth, wearing items she otherwise may not when in Salsola proper.

2.1  Summary

Clementine shifts easily—like smoke—from ambitious, to covetous, to delicate, often from one word to the next. A silver-tongued devil, she alternates between speaking concisely and practically with confidants or friends, and a richly detailed vocabulary that showcases not only her intelligence, but her status as someone of relatively 'high' birth. Often experiences shifting personal loyalties, but the bedrock of her personality and desires is rooted in the continuation and prosperity of herself and her family.

Beneath a rich and artfully crafted veneer mask of high spirits and a penchant for drama lies a surprisingly pragmatic, even blasé personal self that she keeps hidden for the sake of forging business and political relations. Outside of a few trusted family members or the occasional slip-up, it's unlikely that one would ever know that she possesses the ability to completely detach herself.

This does, however, make her a skilled trader who is uncompromised by a strangers' personal woes. Brutally efficient when on the hunt for a better deal, she frequently undercuts others to their detriment.

2.2  Traits

• Expression: Open and inviting; genuinely fond of others.

  • "Believes in using society and its laws to benefit herself (or her family)."
  • "Will seek to increase her power over others within the hierarchy of the universe."
  • "Won't save the life of another at great risk to own self."
  • "Will betray law-breaking family members for personal gain. Will not betray family if loyal."

• Tropes: Ambassador, Chessmaster Sidekick, Girl Friday, Hyper Awareness, The Fettered, Nice to the Waiter, Proper Lady, Sarcastic Devotee

2.3  Details

• Likes: Public speaking, writing, hunting, horseback riding, intellectual arguments, punctuality.
• Dislikes: Solitude, anti-intellectualism, alcohol (and alcoholics), being manipulated, flattery, and unwarranted comparisons to relatives (particularly her "grandmother" Osrath).

• Fears: Following the death of her brother, Clementine now fears deep water, specifically water she cannot see the bottom of.
• Values: Respect (given and received), the safety of her siblings, the growth and prosperity of her family.

Clementine is sexually attracted to men, but has—and will continue to have—flirtations with women, so while she's almost certainly heterosexual, she has strong biromantic tendencies. Due to her own parents being in a long-term homosexual relationship, she sometimes feels conflicted over her sexuality due to a need to emulate (what she thinks is) a harmonic relationship.

Though no one could ever call her forward, if Clementine suspects her romantic feelings are reciprocated she isn't afraid to make the first move, especially if the person in question tends to be on the shy side. In a relationship she values equanimity, and is neither dominant nor submissive.

• Biases: Clementine adheres strictly to Salsola's cultural biases and considers non-luperci to be advocates for hostility against the growth of their own species. Without exception, she keeps any personal opinions that differ from the public norm to herself.
• Substances: Strictly a social drinker, Clementine nonetheless tends to overindulge or underestimate her tolerance, especially when strange drink is involved. Prefers whiskey, brandy, and beer, and frequently trades away both cider and wine to obtain them.

Her family, particularly the well-being of her siblings, Baltasar and Lyra, are her number one motivation. This becomes increasing obvious following the untimely and unexpected loss of her brother, Magnus. Though not particularly violent, she would absolutely use every measure within Salsola's law to destroy anything or anyone that she thought was a danger to her nuclear family.

Salsola and it's future are an afterthought compared to her siblings.

More spiritual than religious, Clementine subscribes to Onuba's system of faith, The Lantern, with a considerable amount of thought given to the Coisricthe religion. She knows about Khalifism and some about monotheistic beliefs, such as the wolves of Boreas.

2.4  Family

• Mothers: Lilia Salcedo (biological) and Indra Winters
  • Biological Father: Bacchus Revlis
• Siblings: Baltasar, Lyra, and Magnus Salcedo
• Half-Siblings:
  • via Bacchus Revlis: Odalis *, Lucian *, and Solomon *
• Extended Family: Clementine belongs the d'Angelo, Kimaris, Lykoi, Revlis, Rhiannon, and Salcedo families; as such, many of their members are directly and indirectly related to her.
• Grandparents: Salvador Salcedo, Emiliana Olmos, Larkkin Star Revlis, Hawthorn
• Cousins: Elphaba Revlis, Rhaegar Salcedo, Casimir Soul, Nymeria Soul, Calrian *, Malik *, Krios Heiwa, Velour Valentine, Tattersall Valentine, Taffetta Valentine
• Uncles & Aunts: Mateo Salcedo, Maribel Salcedo, Rita Salcedo, Laufey Revlis, Morgana Revlis, Jezebel Revlis
  • Great Uncles: Rafael Salcedo, Lokr Revlis
  • Great Aunts: Lily Storm Revlis, Lilia Salcedo

• Lilia Salcedo: Lilia is the role model from whom she took her exuberance for life, though Clementine does not effuse the woman's calmness. There is no lack of love between them, though Clementine's needlessly sharp tongue and penchant for manipulation—and bullying—marks a sharp contrast between them.
• Indra Winters: Much to their mutual disappointment, Clem lacks either the incentive or passion for violence that Indra so adores. With this in mind, they regard each other with as much fondness as possible, accepting each other for their perceived flaws (on both sides) and taking what is given without abhorrence or disappointment.
• Baltasar Salcedo: They needle each other endlessly—usually at her instigation, for she feels she cannot give up opportunity—over his lack of drive or initiative, while he in turn is always quick to remark that she is overly enterprising and false.
• Lyra Salcedo: Her brutally cold and endlessly efficient sister, Clementine greatly values Lyra for the way in which she interacts with the world; a transaction in which she rarely comes into the picture, a sum of parts in which (much to Clementine's personal amusement) others often come up short. Their relationship is not uncolored by a sense of rivalry, however.
• Magnus Salcedo: Her best friend until the end of his days, which came far too soon for the both of them. Always eager to get into (and out of trouble) they often made a ruckus along Portland's seaside, and were rarely seen without one another. This closeness is undoubtedly what led him to try and save her from the icy lake she fell through during her youth.

• Her 'aunt', Elphaba Revlis took her in as her ward initially, though they eventually developed something of a mentor-mentee relationship. Though she fears the depths of her ruthlessness—having witnessed it firsthand at both Delfina’s trial and during the Curse of the Sanctum—she does not respect her.
• Brocade Valentine is something of a pseudo-uncle/father figure in her life, and through his marriage to her aunt, will eventually become father to her cousins. They're very friendly, and Clementine considers him a confidante of sorts... though there are limits to what she'd tell him.
• Her aunt by blood, Morgana Revlis and Clementine are fairly similar in the way that they approach life. There is always something to gain; they are friendly, but wary due to these aforementioned similarities. Clem recognizes her as being dangerous, and assumes her aunt believes the same of her.
• Unbeknownst (but perhaps suspected) to her, Odalis Amaranthe is her half-sister, but also the personal slave of her aunt, Elphaba. They have a complicated relationship; though she has tentatively agreed to help the woman escape, the servant desperately vies for her freedom and tests Salsola's boundaries at every turn, but Clementine (who is, by helping her, comitting treason) urges caution.

• By some fluke of fate, Clementine has found a nemesis in Symre Rask, Brocade’s niece. Though of a similar age, the girls failed to get along from the start, and after multiple barbed words and a usurpation, are now plotting each other’s demise; one through witchcraft and curses, and the other through politics and subterfuge…
• Evelyn de le Ulrich may have met Clementine completely by chance, but they've become quite friendly over time, with Clem recognizing some more-than-friendly glances that she politely ignores. For whatever reason, she has seen fit to help the slightly younger girl achieve her goals, though to what end is anyone's guess.
• A fellow member of the Merchant tier, what made Sanguine Valentine stand apart from his siblings—for better or worse—made Clementine take an interest, though it’s currently a business relationship built on the foundation of mutual interest and the fact that she desires a quasi-ally in her vocational tier.

• Calrian Amaranthe: This entrepreneurial spirit is—unbeknownst to her—a cousin on their shared Revlis side; though she harbored some childish feelings for him in her youth, as she has grown so too has their relationship… especially where business is concerned. When it became clear to her that he meant to establish a business of sorts in Drifter Bay, she took a keen interest, and she directs business to La Estrella Roja… for a modest price, of course.

• Jethro Lykoi: Unsurprisingly, Clementine believes that Jethro dislikes her; why would he, when she so obviously seems to pity him? The reasoning for this is unclear, though it could be assumed that she feels he is ‘destitute’ or otherwise failing in some way to provide for himself… and it’s not as if her so-called charity towards him came without a cost. Unlike most members of the Troupe, Clementine believes that he is suspicious of her comings and goings.

Main Focus: Political Mastermind

The most notable of her family lines—Salcedo and Revlis in particular—have excelled in areas involving trade and guile, and Clementine is no exception. In addition to her innate talent, a formal education at the hands of her aunt, Salsola's boss, honed these skills to a sharp and deadly edge.

Charisma (Journeyman):

• Natural charisma oozes off Clementine like honey, and she wields it at will, whether this be smooth lines or comments with a cutting edge.

Multilinguism (Journeyman):

English: Her native tongue, English (or common tongue) was the predominant language spoken in her household growing up.

Portugeuse: The primary language of Onuba, Clementine picked this up by-and-large due to excessive amounts of time spent with Lilia; she also speaks it in her own home and with her siblings.

Italian: Clementine was taught Italian starting at the age of ~7 months, usually by her aunt. She frequently dots her speech with a few words of it.

Gaelic: The tongue of Indra's overseas family, Clementine was taught to communicate broad concepts, but finer details escape her.

Debate (Journeyman):

• Noted for her silver tongue and sharp mind, Clementine rarely misses a beat; coupled with a near-photographic memory and attention for detail, very little escapes her.

Auxiliary Skills and Hobbies

Like almost all of her species, Clementine is more than capable of hunting in her feral form, and knows a few words of low speech.

• It's worth noting, however, that she is a particularly poor combatant in her optime form.

Equestrianship (Apprentice): Proper horseback riding lessons with her mothers began only days after she shifted, but long before that she watched them feed and care for their personal mounts. While not particularly talented, Clementine is a capable rider of completely ordinary ability.

• Description: Pure white.
  • Gear includes a black leather bridle with copper pieces, which once belonged to her mother's mother, Osrath Eternity. A plush, black blanket padded with fur serves as a saddle.
• Personality: For reasons unknown, Fingal is a mean horse; despite being gelded, he dislikes other horses — particularly stallions — and will frequently bite even familiar Luperci. Clementine is perhaps the single exception to this rule, and only because she knows he's a mean bastard. Loves to run more than anything else in the world, and is fond of carrots.
• Skills:
  • Was trained briefly by Osrath Eternity, and was involved in her program to train warhorses. He is desensitized to blood and spooking, but not strong enough to carry an armed rider.
  • Shows great promise as a horse intended for swift travel or delivering messages.

• Species: Common Raven
• Age and DOB: 5.5 years / March 3rd, 2014
• Description: Black, but clearly experienced some abuse — malnutrition especially — and requires some attention. Nonetheless large due to his captivity.
• Personality: A fast and agile flier, Aberdeen is a preener who comes off as arrogant or even presumptuous. He is nonetheless very food motivated, and expects to be rewarded for, well, just about everything.
• Skills:
  • Has been trained to deliver and otherwise carry messages, but is easily confused when it comes to new recipients/locations and must meet them first.

• Bone needles.
• Items her mom has 'acquired'.
• Select items from Onuba
• Salsolan trade items such as nose rings, assorted pelts, whale oil, etc.

• Books for Salsola's Library.
• Medicinal items, pots and pans, pine tar, pine pitch, weapons, farming equipment (hoes, scythes, etc.), horse gear, etc.
