* Nice, Mean, and Inbetween: Usually Inbetween. While she is usually the leader and voice of reason for the trio, there are moments where she can be snarky and overly critical and there are moments where she can be even more friendly than Sid.

* Not So Above It All: There are times where she does begin to misjudge a situation or act irrationally, which is one of her reasons why she has a lot of self-doubt.

* Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue Oni to both Sid and Alex's Red Oni.

* Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Despite his immaturity and impulsive behavior, Sid’s endearing kindness, compassion, and willingness to be himself attracted Clover to the point where they weren’t just friends, but a romantic couple after years of getting to know each other. This rings true to Sid’s reason for why he fell for her as well.

* Slapstick Knows No Gender: Downplayed. While both she and Rana don't get as much slapstick as other characters like Sid and Alex, they do get hurt, or maimed on several occasions. Clover gets it more than Rana due to Rana usually being too young to get severely hurt or humiliated.
