'Wild' is the best way to describe Clover in a single word. She does and says things without thinking about them beforehand, which often causes problems, for her or for other people, later. She never thinks about things rationally or logically, and just acts on instinct or impulse. She has a devil-may-care attitude, and does the things she wants to do instead of the things she's supposed to do. She likes late nights and parties, especially ones where there will be drinking games or gambling...for obvious reasons, she's very lucky at them.
She's generally cheery and sociable, but is prone to unpredictable mood swings and can become upset or rude without warning. If she were human and not half-god, she might be called bipolar or manic depressive. She has very dark spells. She's passionate and volatile.
Her great love in life is music, and she's the archetypal music snob; she spends hours looking for rare and vintage records and holds anyone who has bad musical tastes in complete contempt.
Similarites to Their Godly Parent: Like Tyche, Clover is impulsive and liable to mood swings.
History
First Memory: Her first memory is a pretty boring one of going on holiday with her grandparents, sister and cousins.
Relationship with Mortal Parent: Clover, her dad and her sister are a really close-knit family.
Clover's dad met Tyche while on a friend's Stag night in a casino and never expected to see her again, so he was surprised when she suddenly handed a baby over to him. He named her Clover because, although it's a bit unconventional, it seemed apt for the daughter of the Goddess of luck.
He must have a 'thing' for unreliable women, because when Clover was four he had another relationship which resulted in a daughter, Flora, and her mother abandoned them, too.
Clover and Flora had a content, if atypical, upbringing. Clover always had good luck - she won every school raffle, every board game, every medal at sports day. Their dad took on the role of mother and father, and tried his best to mould his daughters into well-rounded people; he succeeded with Flora, but Clover was a more difficult project. She was always being sent to the school therapist for her weird mood swings and rash behaviour.
Things got more out-of-hand as she got older, but none of the therapists the school referred her to could find any explanation for Clover's behaviour. Her dad thought that the constant therapist appointments and guidance meetings were doing Clover more harm than good, and so pulled her out of school to try home-schooling when she was twelve.
Home-school worked for a couple of years, but it became clear to him that she had to be somewhere she could learn to overcome her erratic nature and control her powers. So, he came clean about her mother (and it took a long time to convince her that he wasn't kidding) and then found Olympus Academy by chasing a rumour.
She still has trouble controlling her emotions, but she has learned how to manipulate her powers since being at the Academy.
