__TOC__
== Biography ==
Clementine Kruczynski is a free-spirited young woman living in a great and cheap apartment in New York City for the past four years. She works as a bookstore clerk and is known for her constantly changing hair color, with orange hair with blue streaks being her current style.
== Relationships ==
Clementine is currently single and frustrated with the dating scene. She has a negative view of relationships and believes that "Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a [screwed] up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind." Her past relationships were so painful that she went to extreme measures to get them out of her mind, and paid Dr. Mierzwiak to have her memories erased.
Her objective in this matter is to fall in love again, as she finds it hard to open up to the idea of being truly in love and trusting another person wholeheartedly. Her last relationship was with a man named Joel, which was long, tumultuous, all-consuming, and ended in tremendous emotional pain. The two met again, but neither remembers that they had dated, leaving them free to recreate the relationship they were once so desperate to forget.
== Personality ==
She is a smart, independent, and assertive individual who enjoys having fun. She is known for being skeptical of authority figures, and this trait has caused her to become somewhat of an outsider. Despite her carefree exterior, she is plagued by internal struggles and self-doubt, which is understandable given her past experiences with having parts of her brain wiped out.
== Quotes ==
*"When I was a kid, I thought I was. I can't believe I'm crying already. Sometimes I think people don't understand how lonely it is to be a kid, like you don't matter. So, I'm eight, and I have these toys, these dolls. My favorite is this ugly girl doll who I call Clementine, and I keep yelling at her, "You can't be ugly! Be pretty!" It's weird, like if I can transform her, I would magically change, too."
== Trivia ==
*Clementine's interests include drinking, traveling, light crime, and anything else that appeals to her at the moment.
*Despite her carefree and impulsive nature, she values simple things in life such as good music and books, and enjoys taking trips to lie on her back on a frozen river.
