==Biography==
===2015-2022: Birth and Beth's death===
Clemmie was born to drug-addicted prostitute Beth Reed in 2015. Beth wasn't in a position to raise Clemmie so she gave her to her mother look after her. Following her her grandmother's death, Clemmie was returned to Beth's care with social services keeping a close eye on the pair.
In July 2022, Beth died of an overdose, leaving seven-year-old Clemmie in the care of her friend Jade. After Beth's funeral, Jade invited Beth's old friend Dawn Fletcher back to her house to celebrate Beth's life as she didn't have the money to pay for a wake. Dawn reluctantly agreed. At Jade's house, Dawn was left stunned when she found little Clemmie sleeping in a dog bed in the corner of the filthy kitchen. When Dawn returned to the living room to confront Jade about Clemmie, she found Jade shooting up heroin. Dawn refused to leave Clemmie in Jade's care so she took Clemmie home with her to Woodbine Cottage until she was removed from Dawns care after Harriet Finch made a call to social services, only then Dawn discovered she was Lucas’s half sister after Alex had an affair. 
Dawn and her husband, Billy Fletcher then applied for custody of Clemmie. On the 17th August they were allowed to have Clemmie live with them, and so she moved into Home Farm with them. Clemmie struggled to settle in at first as she largely kept to herself. When Lucas stole a doll her mother gave her Clemmie lost her temper and bit Lucas. Dawn and Billy then began to question whether they were qualified to take care of a traumatised child. However, Dawn soon decided that she was the only one who could really be there for her and the adoption proceedings went ahead. 
In September 2022, Kim Tate’s granddaughter, Millie Tate moved into Home Farm as well. Millie and Clemmie disliked each other from the beginning as Clemmie had taken Millie’s old room. This carried on for a couple of weeks with Millie teasing Clemmie about her mother being dead, Clemmie hit Nillie in retaliation and this caused issues between Dawn and Kim. A few days later Millie accused Clemmie of biting her, but Clemmie denied it. Dawn believed Clemmie and she moved out after Kim insisted she was guilty. After spending the night at the Grange, Clemmie along with Dawn, Billy and Lucas moved into Woodbine Cottage with Harriet. A short while later, it was discovered that Millie had lied about Clemmie biting her and Kim apologised to Dawn. Despite this, Dawn refused to move back into Home Farm and so Clemmie stayed at Woodbine. 
After Harriet’s death in October 2024, Dawn and Billy tried to buy Woodbine Cottage but were unable to afford it. In November, Clemmie’s father Alex Moore returned and tried to blackmail Dawn and Billy into paying him for letting them keep Clemmie and Lucas. They refused and he threatened to take his children back. Kim and Will Taylor then got involved, kidnapping Alex and locking him in a stable. Will then beat Alex into agreeing to leave Dawn and the kids alone. After this, Dawn accepted Kim’s offer to move back to Home Farm and she accepted. 
In January 2023, nanny Nicky moved into Home Farm to take care of Clemmie, Lucas and Kim’s grandson, Thomas Tate. Clemmie likes Nicky and grows close to him. A few weeks later, Dawn can’t attend Clemmie’s swimming lesson. Clemmie says she is okay, but Dawn promises from now on she will put her children first. 
In March 2023, Dawn discovered she was pregnant with her and Billy’s first child. Clemmie is unhappy when she finds out about this and she gets angry. She thinks Dawn that she will get rid of her when they had a new baby but Dawn talks her round by promising she is her daughter. Later in the month, Dawn and Billy officially get Special Guardianship of Clemmie. InJuly 2023, Clemmie has a tantrum about Dawn’s pregnancy and accidentally pushes a chair into her stomach. Billy shouts at her for this, but Dawn says she is okay. That night Clemmie runs away from Home Farm as she is sure Dawn and Billy won’t want her now. She is found the next day by ex-nanny, Nicky who brings her back to Home Farm where Dawn and Billy are very relieved to see her. On the 21st of December 2023, Clemmie becomes a big sister when Dawn gives birth to her and Billy’s son, Evan Fletcher. 
In May 2024, Evan is diagnosed with Leukaemia. Clemmie is pulled out of school along with Lucas later in the year in order to prevent any infections from reaching Evan. In August, the family moved out of Home Farm after Dawn has a falling out with Will and Kim.
