Clover Ebi

**Clover Ebi** (クローバー・エビ, *Kurōbā Ebi*), is both a fictional character and deuteragonist of the *Tales of RWBY* series created by Monty Oum and Yoshiharu Gotanda. He was a member and leader of the Ace-Ops and was also a part of James' inner circle.

He and his team first arrived when they captured Ruby's Group as they arrived in Mantle. Clover develops a friendship with Qrow, and seems to have had a past relationship with Robyn. During the Battle of Mantle, Clover and Qrow join Robyn in confronting Tyrian.

But when he is ordered by James to arrest Qrow, Clover fights both Qrow and Tyrian. But, he was killed by being stabbed through the back by Tyrian with Harbinger in order to implicate a remorseful Qrow and Robyn as his killers and had them framed for his murder.

"*Well, Ace-Ops are hand-picked to perfectly compliment one another. So we can focus on our assets and leave our liabilities behind.*"

—Clover Ebi, to Jaune Arc.

## Personality

During his debut, Clover displayed a confident attitude, and leadership skills, easily capturing Teams RWBY and JNR, Oscar Pine and Qrow with assistance from the other Ace-Ops.

He has been described as a total bro character like Captain America who always makes luck puns. He constantly feels like he's in an action movie because things always go right for him, so he doesn't need to look when he's about to jump. This ultimately leads him to be a person that relies too much on his semblance and causing him to ride the lines between confidence vs arrogance.

He appeared to be cordial and calm, as well as good-humored and easy to get along with. However, Clover was quick to turn back to a task at hand when needed. He was fiercely loyal, and tends to bring out the best in people, and did whatever it took to protect his kingdom. He was also a bit duplicitous when he encountered Robyn Hill and the Happy Huntresses in *Sparks* and lied to them about where the supplies they were carrying were going.

Clover, like other members of the Ace-Ops team, did not consider his teammates to be friends, due to having kept his heart guarded, only letting it down for a select few, in part from having experienced his share of pain in the past. However, when he does open up to people, Clover was shown to be exceptionally trusting and loyal, willing to sacrifice his life for them if need be.

If betrayed, Clover would be reluctant and regretful in regards to growing cold towards his friends and loved ones, pleading to find a way to fix things.
