Clementine Kesh

Clementine Kesh (Clem for short), also known as the Witch in Glass, is a popular player character from Friends at the Table's sixth and eighth main seasons, PARTIZAN and PALISADE. In canon, she is a spoiled princess who was been removed from the line of succession and left in charge of a squad of conscripted prisoners: player characters Exeter Leap, Ver'million Blue, and Sovereign Immunity.
Clem is, as PALISADE fandom likes to say, "god's greatest mistake and a very special girl."Quote originally said by Jack de Quidt in PALISADE episode 36. It has since been widely adopted by Clem fans.
== History ==
From the beginning of PARTIZAN, Clem was one of the season's most popular characters. She appeared frequently in fanart and fanfiction early on in the season, and she continues to be a feature of PARTIZAN/PALISADE fandom, although she is no longer a main character in canon.
== Common Ships ==
* Clem/Gucci - Gucci Garantine is Clem's rival, both mechanically and narratively, and in many ways she is also Clem's foil.
* Clem & Gur - Gur Sevraq is an NPC with whom Clementine has frequently, and memorably, clashed. A lot of fanart depicts the two of them in a pivotal scene that takes place mid-way through PARTIZAN.
