Tori-Clare Reese

**Tori-Clare** is a resident of Lower Duck Pond.

## **Biography**

Tori-Clare is a resident of Lower Duck Pond and the unofficial mayor.

### **Early life**

Tori-Clare was born in Rosewater to a traveling apricot salesman named Lewis Dougmuth. He never revealed the identitiy of Tori-Clare's mother to her or any of the other residents in town.

During her school days, Tori-Clare found that she was a natural liar and manipulator- she was the true instigator of several fights between friends, breakups, makeups, and even divorces. One example of this was a situation that occured when she was ten; a boy in her neighborhood stole her bike and she started a rumor that his father was having an affair with a prostitute from Lower Duck Pond. It only took a month for his parents to get divorced and the boy moved away to Iowa to live with his grandmother. Tori-Clare never got her bike back, but found that revenge was just as good.

When she was fifteen, Tori-Clare found that she never wanted to live in Rosewater and ran away to Lower Duck Pond- taking her neighbor Alba with her. Alba's parents, who were originally from Upper Duck Pond, found this as an insult to them and did not try to get their daughter back.

Despite the fact that Tori-Clare was only fifteen and Alba was only eight, no one came after them and Tori-Clare was able to get a job as a waitress and rented a room from a senile old woman.

### **Adult life**

After turning 18, Tori-Clare went away to college, though no one is exactly sure where. When she returned home five years later, she had a bachelors and masters in business and business management and had her sights set on becoming mayor as her only competition was a literal alpaca. However, she found that her skills were better suited for someone working behind the scenes and instead convinced her neighbor Jim to run.

## **Personality**

Tori-Clare, though an overall likeable person, is known throughout Lower Duck Pond as someone who shouldn't be messed with. She is a master manipulator, liar, and is ruthless when it comes to getting what she wants.

To those she is close to and considers her friends, Tori-Clare is a very silly and excitable person. A geek at heart, she loves all things sci-fi and fantasy and has no qualms about sharing her passions. She is also, surprisingly, a very emotional person although very people have actually seen this side of her. Because of this, she can come off as apathetic to some people which can directly be tied to the rumor that she has used her connections to make people disappear.

## **Appearance**

Tori-Clare is 5'7 with long black wavy hair. She had dark brown eyes and light brown skin with a slim build.

Her clothing style varies as she usually wears business casual outfits for her work at the town hall, but prefers babydoll dresses and skirts when off the job.
