Description
(Clementine and her twin brother,
Alex)
Clementine takes mostly after her
mother, with fair skin, curling red hair and delicate features. But she has her
father's fragile blue eyes and slightly awkward limbs. She carries herself with bullheaded determination, but always with a sort of sneaky slide in her step, as though she's going somewhere she ought not to. Which she usually is.
While she is fashion conscious, Clementine's main concern is being able to break into a run or crouch down in the dirt without being hindered. While she wears her hair on the long side, she more often than not ends up tucking it all away under a hat stolen from one of her brothers.
Personality
Bossy, sassy, flashy, and smug. Clementine needs no help feeling self-worth, and will lunge head-first into her personal battles. She is ferociously protective of her siblings (whether they are willing to be protected or not) and an abominable flirt.
Equipment
A semi-nomadic youth taught Clementine to never be caught unawares. She carries a bag rather than a purse, and in it there lies an unusual assortment of useful items, depending on the day and the event.
History
Clementine and her twin brother, Alex, were born after a tremendously stressful year for her parents. Of all places, they were born in Budapest. And from there, the twins knew nothing but traveling and foreign countries, exciting lessons and only rarely public education. Clem was less than pleased when this nomadic lifestyle came to a halt so that the family could settle back in New York City, where she had never lived but heard many stories about. But she couldn't argue against the sounds of air raid sirens and a firm suggestion from the German government that her father never show his face near their borders again.
Being half Jewish on her father's side, Clementine was easily swept up in fervor for the war. Though she was a bit young to be out working alongside the other 'Rosie the Riveters,' Clem eagerly tagged along with her mother to any rally or support effort she was deemed old enough to attend. Her feelings wavered a bit when her oldest brother, Tommy, enlisted and shipped out to fight, as she recalled the painful stories about an uncle she had never met after the last Great War. But this was quickly overcome; after a fierce battle about his right to enlist or not, Clementine flipped to the other side and became her brother's staunchest supporter.
Once the war was over and, to her immense relief, her brother returned, Clementine found herself at a loss. She was now old enough to work, but returning soldiers left a slim entryway into the work force. With nothing else to occupy her, Clem returned to her earliest passion: traveling, getting into trouble, and finding things. As best she could figure, this translated to archaeology, a field difficult to break into. But Clementine cites her parents as an excuse and an inspiration for kicking down walls wherever they rise up, and has managed to bully her way forward. With a bit of elbow grease and a lot of study, Clem hopes to return to her childhood romping grounds and beyond sometime before the sixties.
But until then, Clementine spends the time she isn't trying to intimidate someone playing at her secondary career path: women's baseball.
So begins...
Aeternity swipes its claws and growls. Where did it arrive to? It's unsure, and the worst part of it all...it saw nobody within its direct line of sight. "Kraa'su, va tri ondri'k'katra!" It shouts in its unknown language, crawling across the landscape in search of others...
