Overview

Long-legged and lithe, Clementine effuses a certain fatalistic beauty not unlike the others of the Eternity family into which she has been adopted. Highly humanized thanks to both her upbringing and the overall culture of her pack, her posture is that of an upright patrician. Her hair, which is voluminous in its abundance, is most often pulled up in hasty buns or stabbed through with pins, drawing attention to her otherwise long, pale neck.

Pretty in a way that is reminiscent of her "grandmother" Osrath Eternity, but she resents the comparison.

Essentials

• Species: Almost completely dog in appearance, though a sharpness in her features hints at the presence of coyote blood.
• Fur: Medium-length and thick.
  • Optime Hair: Waist-length and extreme in its abundance.
• Facial Features: Combining the Salcedo line's large but narrow, slender eyes with the angular facial features of the Revlis family lends Clementine a rather exotic look; chronic sufferer of 'resting bitch face' because of this.
• Build and Size: Sports what has become known as a ballerina build; a long neck, medium length torso, as well as long legs and arms. More suited to tasks of endurance or agility as opposed to brute strength.
• Humanization: High; will wear clothing and jewelry and is uncomfortable without it, though she can and will.

2.1  Summary

High-spirited and willful with an odd streak of pragmatism; has a penchant for manipulation and unintentionally prodding at others' character flaws. Easily progresses through traits featuring ambitious, covetousness, delicacy, and tact, often from one word to the next. Possesses the silver tongue that both of her families are famous (and in some cases, infamous) for. 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.

2.2  Traits

• Expression: Open and inviting; genuinely fond of others.
• Sociability: Extremely social with the occasional flair for drama.
• Alignment: Lawful Evil (leans Chaotic Neutral)

  • ENFJ (MBTI), Teacher (Keirsey)

  • "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

Motivations

• Her family, particularly the well-being of her siblings, Baltasar and Lyra. This becomes increasing obvious following the untimely and unexpected loss of her brother, Magnus.
• Salsola, it's future, and her place within it.
  • Exponential growth and continuing an upward momentum.

Fears

• Grievous bodily harm, the safety of her immediate family, letting down those who depend on her, and failing to see her goals realized. Oddly enough, death is not something she gives much consideration.
• Thalassophobia will become a particular fear of hers; specifically, deep water she cannot see the bottom of and how she correlates this to her brother's death.

Values

• Respect, both given and received.
• Growth; her own, her family's, and Salsola's.

Interests

• 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).

Biases

• Non-Luperci: Though she doesn't hate them, Clementine doesn't understand why anyone wouldn't want to shift, and considers non-luperci to be advocates for hostility against the growth of their own species. While she doesn't speak on this subject often, if someone were to mention this behind closed doors, she would be inclined to agree.
• Packs:
  • Her beliefs largely align with Salsola's; without exception, she keeps any personal opinions that differ from the public norm to herself.

Sexuality

• Likely to be almost entirely heterosexual and quite the hopeless romantic. May struggle with her own heterosexuality due to being the product of a homosexual relationship.
• Values lifelong commitment to a romantic partner.

Substances

• Only drinks with others (never alone), but doesn't know her limit and tends to over indulge.
• Will eventually experiment with psilocybin mushrooms.

Spiritually

• Subscribes to Onuba's system of faith, The Lantern, with a considerable amount of thought given to the Coisricthe religion.
  • Knows about Khalifism and some about monotheistic beliefs, such as the Boreas wolves.

3.2  Family Relationships

• Lilia Salcedo: Her mãezinha, Lilia is the role model from whom she took her exuberance for life; she lacks a certain calmness, however, and the cutting edge of Clementine's tongue often caused friction in their relationship. Despite this, there is no lack of love shared between them — an abundance of it in fact — but Clem feels that this may have diminished slightly following the unfortunate death of her brother, Magnus. Bitterly ashamed for her part in this horrific event, she feels a deep and abiding guilt every time her mother's eyes wander toward the lakeside.
• Indra Winters: The mother with whom she has the least in common, Clem nonetheless understands that while Indra loves her, she doesn't necessarily like her all the time. Why this is, she isn't entirely certain, but the reason matters not. She eagerly accepts any and all lessons her other mother has seen fit to impart upon her, save where combat is concerned. Much to their mutual disappointment, Clem lacks either the incentive or passion for violence. 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: Baltasar's lackadaisical approach to life is perhaps the only thing Clementine begrudges him. In her opinion, he has all the hallmark signs of one who will eventually become a spendthrift or a lay about. 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. Though she might hesitate to do so, however, she would almost certainly defend him from anything or anyone, not necessarily out of love but due to the blood that binds them.
• Lyra Salcedo: Her only sister, one would expect them to be close. Prior to his death, Clementine often felt as if her sister were third-wheeling in their camaraderie. Fast forward to present day, and she now gratefully and lovingly returns her sister's affection in turn. This is due in some small part to the way Lyra views the world and interacts with others; a transaction in which she rarely comes into the picture, a sum of parts in which (much to Clem's amusement) others often come up short. Their relationship is not uncolored by a sense of rivalry, however. Fortunately for the two of them, they maintain their sisterly friendship by channeling their interests into disparate measures insofar as taking on the world is concerned.
• 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. Though she lived, he did not, and regrets her inability to do for him what he did for her. Directly and indirectly his passing led her to leave Portland earlier than she might've done initially.

Animal Care

Education and Learning: Both Indra and Lilia brought their respective mounts to Salsola's Portland Outpost, and she learned much by watched and — later — emulating them.

• 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.

Combat

Education and Learning: Both of her mothers are accomplished fighters and recognized within their pack thusly; though not a strength of hers, she has focused on tooth-and-claw fighting as opposed to using a weapon.

• Clementine's primary weapon is her quicksilver mind, of course, but when pressed she won't hesitate to fight back in either her lupus or secui forms.
• Her preference in fights is to utilize her speed before everything else; beyond that, she will fight dirty if it means she'll survive to see another day.

Socio-Political

Education and Learning: 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.

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