=== November 5, 2022 ===
Clarke wakes up and finds a note [1] on the floor of her house in the entrance walkway. Clarke begins to prepare for what appears to be her disappearance - such as food for Scarlett and a goodbye letter [2].
Clarke receives a call from an unknown number and the other person is clearly the one who wrote the note. The person says its time for her to come home. Clarke asks what about if she doesn't want to go "home" and the person confirms that Clarke cares about Scarlett and basically threatens Clarke by the threatening to hurt Scarlett. Clarke folds right away and agrees to meet with him.
Clarke then goes to the bathroom of their house and feels around for bumps on her skin finding a bump she takes out her shank and removes what appears to be a tracker. Clarke seems unfazed by this.
She then receives a ping from someone by the name of Petros Balian. The ping leads Clarke to the pier in Paleto. Clarke heads to the pier and meets 2 people. One woman that appears to be a guard of sorts asks if Clarke has any weapons and Clarke hands over her shank. The second person is clearly the person that was on the phone and left the note. The man refers to Clarke as Yeava. The man now known as Petros says he is happy to see her and refuses to reveal how he found her. He asks if she's ready to go and Clarke responds that if that's the only way to save Scarlett than yes. He asks if Clarke has said her good byes and Clarke sends one more text before getting in the car with the Petros and the guard. 
The drive is relatively quite except for a few words passed between Petros and Clarke about her current situation. Yeava reveals she hasn't talked the real Clarke's family as she just wanted to escape her old life when she left for Los Santos. Petros says he won't reveal his ways as he is afraid Clarke will runaway again. 
They take Clarke down to the Russian docks and takes her aboard a ship before knocking her unconscious.
==Clarke's Path==
After befriending Victor, Clarke spent more and more time getting to know him and talking about his goals and aspirations. Upon talking one night in the Church, Victor shared with Clarke that he wished to continue spreading the word about the "Path" and the "Collective". Confused as ever, Clarke took Victors word about finding oneself whilst hiking through the mountains and thus began her journey.
Clarke prepared for her hike and drove up to the San Chianski Mountain Range with Daph. Upon arriving, Clarke threw her phone into a dumpster and told Daph that if she didn't hear from her in an hour, to come back to the same spot and look for her. As Clarke trekked the mountain she reflected deeply on her past; however, mid reflection she was attacked and sat there helpless on the ground.
Daph came to Clarke's aid, however when she got there, there was a large pool of blood underneath her body. Daph rushed Clarke to the hospital where she was treated for a shattered arm and a scratched up face. Having lost a large amount of blood, Clarke was admitted into the ICU overnight. When she woke up Clarke lost all feeling to her left arm; unsure if she would ever feel it again.
Clarke doesn't fully recall what happened up on that mountain, but instead came down it with a darker outlook on life.
== Relationships ==
Coming into the city still affected by her ex’s death Clarke had no plans of getting into a relationship but, obviously, that's not how it went.
=== Justin "Victor" Bridges ===
Clarke met Victor through Liam Law, who Clarke was a material runner for. Victor was in the same gang as Liam and ended up meeting Clarke at some point and started hanging out more. After a little time Victor asked Clarke out on a date which Clarke responded to by explaining that she wasn't over her ex and was more interested in girls. Victor took it remarkably well and continued to try and get closer to Clarke. On May 12, 2022, Clarke finally said yes to the date and Victor's gang The Angels set up a date for them in which they performed Shrek 2. After their first date, they started being referred to as girlfriend and boyfriend and just went with it. Clarke felt no different about Victor and still saw him as a friend, but Victor saw it as more. 
At first, Victor wasn’t nervous about what was going on between Clarke and Scarlett as Clarke had reassured him that it was nothing - but as time went on more and more people were telling him that she was emotionally cheating on him and when Clarke and Scarlett were kicked from Hydra he started listening. On July 26, 2022, Victor and Clarke had a talk which resulted in them agreeing to go on a break as Clarke wanted to put relationship drama on “the back burner”. The day after, July 27, 2022, The Angels pushed Victor into having another talk with Clarke. This talk ended with them both agreeing to split which was the end of the relationship.
=== Scarlett Skye ===
Scarlett and Clarke met right around the time both of them started hanging out with Hydra though they didn’t talk much until Hydra moved from the ‘sac in mirror park to the Snake Pit in Little Seoul. After they moved they started seeing each other more and in turn began low key flirting. At first, it was little things like compliments that were normal between Clarke and other women like Daph Lilith and Susie Carmichael but as time went on it seemed to be something different. Clarke started doing things like leaving cute messages in Scarlett's apartment and sending suggestive things in texts, though they would refer to each other as just close friends. 
Things quickly took a turn on June 19, 2022. Scarlett called Clarke up to the observatory where she admitted her feelings for Clarke. Clarke didn’t deny she reciprocated the feelings but because of the gang rule against dating in the gang and her relationship with Victor, nothing came of it. On June 29, 2022, Hydra decided to review what was going on between Clarke and Scarlett and decided to demote Scarlett to hangaround and told her not to use the gang’s R1. After that Scarlett and Clarke got closer deciding the only people they could truly trust were each other. During this time Clarke was having a bad day and Scarlett tried to cheer her up by taking her parachuting which resulted in Clarke falling and later ending up in the ICU for the night. The following day Clarke had serious memory loss and to bring her memory back Scarlett brought Clarke to her special place, the pier in Paleto. At the pier, Clarke revealed her real name was not Clarke and was actually the name of her ex-partner who died. A few minutes later Clarke plunged a knife that was in Scarlett's hand into her own stomach. In the midst of getting Clarke on the bike, a note fell out of Clarke's pocket with the name “Yeava” written on it. Clarke later confirmed to Scarlett back at the pier that Yeava is her real name.
Seeing them get closer again Hydra began to review them a second time, eventually deciding to kick both of them from the gang. After they were kicked they moved in together and became free agents. At this point, Clarke decided she was done with gangs and decided to get started on a business arc. 2 days after they got kicked Victor and Clarke agreed to split. Scarlett and Clarke didn’t officially get together for another week and became official on August 3, 2022.
==Hydra==

As a close friend and ally to Susie Carmichael, Clarke became familiar with Hydra Gang, helping Susie in her meth cooks and helping Hydra discover the spray locations of other gangs, and effectively being a hangaround for the gang.
On May 31st, 2022, Clarke and Hydra leader Juan Carlos 'Flippy' Hernandez had a conversation, and she expressed interest in eventually joining the gang. Flippy recognized Clarke as an associate of Hydra Gang due to her loyalty, often doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work for the gang while never complaining or asking for much. As of July 25th, 2022, Clarke is no longer considered as an associate of Hydra Gang.
== Bike Racing ==
Clarke started bike racing with Scarlett near the end of her time with hydra as it was something to do during the time it was only them awake from Hydra. She also did it as a way to get closer to Scarlett and support her when their weren't many people racing.
Eurydice
During the time after Scarlett confessed to Clarke and they weren't talking Clarke wanted a way to still do things with Scarlett as well as to keep her safe, to do this Clarke started using a new alias for racing. The name she used was Eurydice which is the name of the wife of Orpheus in Greek mythology. The story of Eurydice essentially goes along the lines of after their marriage(Orpheus and Eurydice) Eurydice was bitten by a snake causing her to die instantly. Orpheus mourning the loss of his wife tried to go into the underworld to save her and Hades let him do so as long he didn't turn to look at her until they had both made it into the real world. Unfortunately thinking Hades had deceived him Orpheus looked back at Eurydice just for her to be taken back to the underworld. 
The arc of Eurydice was fairly short lived as Scarlett and Clarke made up not long after and it all returned to normal allowing Clarke to bike race with Scarlett under her normal racing alias of Boden.
From the Ashes
Around the middle of August, the bike racing scene started popping off. The races that started at only 3 people a race had grown to the occasional race of 10+ and the PD was starting to take notice. Things started slowly with tasing off of bikes at high speeds and escalated to ramming at 100+ and blocking and spiking corners all before the race was completed. Right as the police response was starting up Clarke and Scarlett had many a conversation along the line of if the cops keep messing with bike races in ways they shouldn't we will shoot them but the real turning point was one very bad day. the day started with a race in which 2 people(Johnny Sinner and a Mayhem prospect) decided it would be funny to block off the road with 2 buses and the racers were not happy. Luckily one of the higher-ups in the Mayhem knew they were gonna do something stupid and scooped up the prospect before the racer could really have at him reassuring them that he would take care of it. Somehow Johnny Sinner also got away but they all just moved past it.
A couple of races later, they had the most turnout from the PD that they had ever seen and just like in the past, the ramming, the tazing, and just all-together aggression before the race ended was enough to send the racers over the edge. Psycho was caught pretty early and the other racers either finished the race or ditched before they started getting chased as well. Scarlett rallied the troops to come up with a plan for retaliation but Chungus (Cassie Miller) started getting chased before they could come up with a good plan. Now the plan changed from something small and threatening to an ambush to an ambush to get Chungus out as well. They decided on a bridge over Alta Street near Cerberus. The ambush was perfect but they were able to down 5 officers including Brittany Angel and Lily Pond. Right before the ambush Clarke had a head pop and returned when it was already over and opted not to go in and instead patrolled around for anyone that had gotten out and found Cobalt. the 2 of them(Clarke and Cobalt) decided to see if they could find Rhodes and scare him a little. After completing that Clarke and Cobalt headed up to the prison to meet the other racers.
Puppets Involvement
After making it to the prison Clarke and Cobalt were approached by someone in a fancy fancy car who told Clarke had an opportunity for her, Clarke told Cobalt she would be right back and left him at the prison to follow the mysterious car. After making it to a location the mysterious person revealed himself as a puppet named Earl. He asked her to explain what had happened and told her that he was enjoying seeing the chaos the bike racers were bringing and that he is glad they are not letting the PD walk all over them. He asked her about what happened with the two people that blocked the road with the buses and she explained what had happened with the members of Mayhem and said that she would personally be dealing with Johnny Sinner. Earl asked Clarke to find out what the mayhem are planning to do with their prospect as well as witness it so she can bring him the details of the interaction. The final thing he asked was to have an audience with some of the top racers in the scene and Clarke responded by mentioning Ph0enix (Scarlett Skye), Cob4lt (Sam Flynn), and Psych0 (Sai Kou) before leaving to meet with Cobalt and the other races.
Clarke then relayed the information to Cobalt and Scarlett who was still in prison letting them know that the puppet Earl wanted to meet with them. At this point Psycho was still in the cells and decided it would be best to just have the conversation with Earl without him. Clarke took Cobalt and Scarlett back to the place where she talked to Earl and called him letting him know they were ready to talk. Earl returned to the location and pretty much said the same things he said to Clarke to Cobalt and Scarlett besides the mission for Clarke. Scarlett also brought up that Psycho had mentioned that he overheard some of the cops talking about a snitch while he was in the cells and Earl said that he was just in a meeting with Richard O'Conner about snitches in the car races and recommended Scarlett talk to him about that. They parted ways there and filled Psycho in on the conversation the very next day.

== Appearance ==
Clarke has natural dark brown hair and blue eyes but often highlights her hair for it to be a lighter brown. During shameful periods of her life Clarke will often hide behind a motorbike helmet with a reflective visor. Attempting to conceal the inside and project the same outside image onto others.

 	Neck Left Side 	Black Widow - Another symbol of strength, Clarke's Grandfather believed that widows were symbols of strength and lethality.
 	Face 	Ace of Spades - Clarke is an avid gambler but also thought that it would be a creative way to express her sexuality.

Gabriel Warrior - Being very prominent in the bible Clarke always saw Gabriel as the image of strength and related him to her own personality. Often being a bearer of news Clarke resembles the image of Gabriel; someone who is protective, strong, and knowledgable.

Black Widow - Similar to the one on her neck this version of the tattoo is a more industrialized version, potentially a twisted version of the one on her neck that is more manufactured and perfectly stamped on the back of her leg.
