Clover

:"Okay, you bunch of idiots, new rule. No more trying to teach Clover how to swear." - Agent ?.
Clover is a plant-based creature and Agent 40 of the UNWD. They are comprised of a hard ceramic core from which grows a dense 'body' of mixed greenery, consisting mostly of grass, watercress, chia and various species of clover, which is where they get their name.
They do not speak, and communicate largely through waving and gestures.
==Character==
===Appearance===
To the eye, Clover's usual form - their Bipedal Formation - is a humanoid figure standing at around 4 feet tall. Their body is a densely-packed 'human hedge' of mixed grasses, clovers and other plants. The greenery parts to form eye spots on the face, as Clover loves to copy agents and appear more humanoid. They wear a purple UNWD wristband and are often seen covered in pale flowers. Their form and the plants covering their 'core' may vary, as they can change their shape and size using seeds to adapt to mission requirements.
Their ceramic core is a small hard dome covered in grooves and holes from which grows Clover's body. There is a deep groove on the back of it, from a crack that the UNWD has patched up using mineral-rich clay.
===Personality===
Clover is an extremely kind and almost childlike creature. They are very friendly and quite pacifistic, but they are willing to fight to protect civilians or allies - their priority is to protect and to neutralise nonlethally. With other agents, they are affectionate and enthusiastic, often enjoying being around them on base duties to copy them. Clover has been described as idealistic, bubbly and even altruistic by allies.
===Skills & Abilities===
Clover's body grows quick, so alongside being physically flexible (due to having no bones), they are also extremely versatile in the field. Seeds, sprouts and bulbs will grow to their full size (and further) within minutes. Flytraps, dartplants, poison-spitters and other plants have been grown from the plucky little agent, as well as vine 'muscles' and healing herbs to help other agents on missions.
Their natural clover-y body is also extremely nutritious, and Clover will often insist that other agents in dire situations eat the greenery to keep their strength up. Their greenery can be eaten or otherwise destroyed entirely with no pain to Clover themselves, and the ceramic core will gradually regrow their body to optimum mass (their usual 4ft form) within 2-3 days provided water and gentle light.
==History==
Clover's ceramic core was discovered by the UNWD in the Amazon Rainforest, Brazil, deep in a subterranean grotto full of assorted carvings and tablets. Damaged by what the UNWD believed was a chainsaw, the core was taken back and studied. After determining that the core was alive and emitting signals similar to REM sleep, the UNWD made attempts to repair it.
Within a few weeks of dormancy and regrowth, Clover sprang to life and quickly took to the UNWD. Though frightened and confused at first, they soon began trying to help some agents with their work. After discovering their versatility and ability to grow useful organic attachments, the UNWD began sending Clover on some smaller low-risk missions, and later on more intense missions as they proved their aptness for problem-solving and diffusing hot situations, as well as their remarkable intelligence for a weird plant baby.
During the Battle of London, Clover was trapped in a cave-in with a few other agents. As of Slug-Man: GnoMercy, the agents have made some progress in escaping the caved-in area, and survived/kept their strength up by eating Clover's nutrient-rich greenery (sometimes by force, as Clover is very insistent on keeping everyone healthy and alive). The experience has matured them.
== Relationships ==
=== Agent 47 ===
:"I'm back! Where's my tip top topiary?" - 47, returning to base.
The aussie is one of Clover's favourite agents due to her confidence and optimistic personality. When she returns from missions, Clover will often leap into her arms. 47, a lifelong nature lover, is endlessly entertained by Clover and enjoys simply having them follow her around.
=== Moonsplitter ===
:"You eat someone's hair once, and then they won't leave you alone..." - Moonsplitter's lament.
It isn't uncommon to see Clover trailing Moonsplitter around the base, knowing that her favourite snack is white clover and fresh grass. They are enthusiastic about offering her some greenery to eat whenever possible to make her happy, which discomforts and tempts Moonsplitter in equal measure. In turn, Moonsplitter feels inclined towards protecting the sweet little shrub, and has a habit of chronically underestimating them. 
==Trivia==
* Their ceramic core, though mostly clay, has been examined to be at least 12% bone matter, though the species has not been determined.
