She became a Red Mage after the Bozja Incident because both devastating destruction and emergency first-aid magick was in need
She became a Dark Knight in Ishgard as the trauma she carried from that time became manifest
Then she became a Sage in Tural because it was finally time to heal
#CloveFacts

Clove doesn't get hangry, but she has an innate sense for when others are about to and can mom together a snack before anyone realizes what's happening.
Alisaie's about to commit a double homicide, Clove pushes some ants on a log into her hand- at least one of those people will live now! #CloveFacts

I also did a nude one, because... she's pretty!

A reference sheet for Clove Chanterelle, showing her from a variety of angles along with some relevant facts: AGE: 37ish (exact birthdate unknown) HEIGHT: 6 fulms, 7 ilms PRONOUNS: She / Her (trans flag, lesbian flag) BIRTHPLACE: Bozja RESIDENCE: Tulilyollal JOBS: RDM, DRK, SGE LIKES: Pretty dresses, al pastor, color-coordinated eyeglasses DISLIKES: Mandervilles, Nanamo

Took a few screenshots right before maintenance started, so here's a bit of a ref for Clove!

Does it need this many angles of her face?
Absolutely not, but her face is pretty.

Also featuring a first pass at scars while I think about some Backstory

#CloveFacts | #CloveArt | #hrothgal

A bath hedonist, for sure. Long soaks, good soaps, scented candles, wine. She's got different brushes for hair, fur, and tail, oils to maintain shine, some enchanted salts to keep gore from soaking in... she doesn't look after herself often, but at bathtime? Mama gets taken care of.
#CloveFacts

Clove's powerful; she's still reliant on her friends to go the distance, but she'll go toe to toe with a primal or Ascian and not bat an eye (partially because she's not smart enough to know when to back down) #CloveFacts

28.
Her favorite spice is nutmeg (although grating it makes her sneeze) and her favorite mushroom is porcini.
#CloveFacts

27.
Her favorite holiday is Moonfire Faire because girl loves an excuse to run around in her swimsuit as often as possible.
#CloveFacts

26.
She met her best friend in Gridania after the Calamity, when in a bad bout of depression she got drunk and wandered into the shroud to fist-fight a boar. She was found by the Adders and brought to a healer who put her back together and has become like a sister to her.

#CloveFacts

In homage to her love for the First, it's people and all her and her allies accomplished there, Clove still prefers the title Warrior of Darkness, even if it does raise some eyebrows back in the Source.

#CloveFacts

Her time in the First was deeply significant to her; the people of Norvrandt grew very dear to her, and coming face-to-face with her own mortality revealed how much she missed close connections and a place to call home. Crafting nightlights for the First's children is a treasured memory

#CloveFacts

Clove's pretty nearsighted anymore, she always says she suspects it's a result of being exposed to the massive dose of corrupted aether in the wake of the Bozja Calamity but mostly, she's just in her late 30s and inherited some weak (yet gorgeous) peepers

#CloveFacts

She and Wuk Lamat first kissed during the celebration after the rite of succession, but still weren't really sure if each other's feelings were mutual until after the conclusion of the entire MSQ. They're both the exact sort of gay disaster that's perfectly suited for one another.
#CloveFacts

Despite her mother's skill for weaving and Bisera's prodigious talent as a smith, very little artisanal skill rubbed off on Clove outside of the kitchen. She took more after her father's botanical focus and loves to garden, and carries notebooks for observing interesting specimens
#CloveFacts

Her chocobo's name is Chocobois and her alpaca is named Alpaca. She's never been good at names.
#CloveFacts

Speaking of, she absolutely despises the entire Manderville family and hurriedly makes for the exit any time they force their way into her life.
#CloveFacts

She was informally banned from Ul'dah after threatening to kick Nanamo like a football when she let Godbert Manderville convince her that refugees (Clove's own countrymen amongst them) would be denigrated by receiving direct financial support and instead needed jobs in his casino
#CloveFacts

She suffers vivid nightmares on a regular basis, wandering the empty streets of Bozja desperately searching for someone while invisible shades lurking in the darkness level judgement at her for failing them, as the sky grows progressively red. They have become less frequent since Tural.
#CloveFacts

She is still in close contact with R'Honde Riskalt, a hrothgar woman who was a small child at the time of the disaster. Honde's family perished, and Clove cared for her and other orphans until they could be taken in by new families. Honde now works with Clove as one of her retainers.
#CloveFacts

She always understood her adoptive parents to be Gridanian, but recently learned that not only was her mother in fact Tonawawta and grew up in Tural, but she still has a large family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and niblings with whom she is now reconnecting.

#CloveFacts

She has a special bond with Urianger, the two sharing a similar burden of grief and closeness with the Leveilleur twins; she enjoys flirting with him mercilessly because the way he blushes makes her laugh.
#CloveFacts

In the Aitiascope, Clove weathered a mighty blow from an Ascian spirit and Svathgar was shattered.

Stunned and heartbroken, she nearly despaired until a mote of light caressed her cheek with the familiar scent of forge smoke, and the sword was restored, now bearing Bisera's forgemark

#CloveFacts

Her Bozjan accent comes out when she gets flustered and she still peppers some words and nicknames into her everyday language. She'll greet you in the morning with a hearty dzen dobri, calls people she cares about dorogiye (darlings), and Lamaty'i is zirochka (my star).
#CloveFacts

Favorite breakfast? Scrambled eggs with aldgoat cheese and fresh buttermilk pancakes #CloveFacts

She avoids Solution Nine like the plague; aside from her moral qualms with their continued use of souls for entertainment in the Arcadion, the electrope lights give her a headache.
#CloveFacts

She's allergic to pineapple, but she eats al pastor anyway (she just gets a rash on her back, it's fine) #CloveFacts

Clove was a wanted fugitive from the Maelstrom for some years, after she joined their war with the Sahagin and Kobolds on the side of the Sahagin and Kobolds, and only receiving amnesty once the Admiral finally consented to broker peace with the native peoples of Vylbrand
#CloveFacts

Clove learned to cook providing for her family and neighbors in Barter's Corners; stretching limited rations and whatever they could grow taught her to make delicious food with whatever was at hand and instilled in her a deep joy in feeding the people she loves.
#CloveFacts

The first time Clove tried to do a Contre Sixte in battle while training under X'rhun Tia, she whiffed the landing but good and broke her ankle. She managed to defeat a magitek sweeper and cover her allie's retreat while balancing on one foot and earned the nickname The Rapier of Bozja
