## Clyde Finster

### Logs

Template:Logs

**Clyde Finster** is a 2020-introduced and all-around character. He is a African American and a student at Enchatria High. He comes from a family with many children—among which Rhenas, Rachel, and Tawnya—and is currently the oldest of the ones still living at home. Having grown up among so many people to consider, Clyde has developed an extensive set of leadership skills for which he is known and appreciated at school. He is the captain of the basketball team, the football team, and the URM team, as well as a respected member of the track team. Like most of his siblings, he has clear goals for his career after the school. He wants to go into sports medicine and though he has a busy schedule daily, he knows to prioritize getting the grades needed for that. In addition to school, family, and friends, Clyde spends a lot of his time in the company of Lori Creaser, who is both his girlfriend and his sister's BFF. The truth is, in the webisodes and TV specials of the cartoon, he does wear his 'Signature',*School's Out*' outfit; only not the hat, the pinpoint ball piercing replaced with a hooped earring ear-piercing on the same ear, the left one; no vest, and no scarf. These are replaced with a *Enchatria High* letter jacket with mainly black and with pink accents, and a slightly turned-up collar.

## Portrayers

Clyde is voiced in English by Marcus Griffin, except for during his debut in "Girl Will Fly", in which he was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. After Yuri Lowenthal, he has been voiced by Ogie Banks.

Though Clyde himself does not make an appearance in the Enchatria Girls EG Stomp music video, there are several werewolf character analogues who received creative interpretation by the video crew. The "Werewolf Rapper," for example, is portrayed by Taylor Belnavis.

## Character

### Personality

Clyde is very friendly, outgoing and kind to the others, especially to his girlfriend, Lori Creaser. He's a loyal friend and a natural leader, acting as the captain of several sports teams. Though he certainly doesn´t always act that way, he does know manners and makes a point of other boys knowing them too. Template:Source

Unlike his sisters, he does not have a Brooklyn accent.

### Appearance

Clyde is tall and physically fit, since he plays on the football, basketball and track teams. He has a piercing in his left ear, and has long sideburns and golden eyes like his sisters and furry.

## Abilities

He has the ability of any other werewolf:

* **Enhanced Sense of Smell:** Clyde has the regular werebeast sense of smell, especially werewolves in particular.
* **Enhanced Hearing:** He, like all werewolves, has a superb extreme sense of hearing. It can lead to miles.
* **Lunar Extra-Power:** He gets "lunar empowerment" from the full moon, and can be extra speedy and be even stronger.
* **Enhanced Strength:** Clyde is shown to be extremely naturally strong, but the strength seems to enhance on a full moon. Like all werewolves, he is extremely strong, able to take on the Pirate Teen at Enchatria High super easily.
* **Enhanced Speed:** Clyde can be super fast as seen in "Best Friends" when playing basketball against Andy Eye-Patch and many other times. Lunar influence increases this, however.
* **Rapid Hair Growth:** Like all werebeasts with fur, and like Rachel and Tawnya, he can get even furrier when he doesn't even want to. This might be assumed since Rachel and Tawnya clearly have the ability.

### Special Abilities

He is also a good lead in sports, especially basketball:

* **Basketball:** He, unlike some other african american, is extremely good at basketball and can beat almost anyone at it if not everyone, which wouldn't have been a problem not to win in "Cheer-A-Mid Power" if Lori Creaser did not in his arms during the game just before it was over.

### Skillset

* **Athleticism:** Unlike most werewolves, Clyde is best with his athletic abilities, even beating Romulus in "Fight On!", although all werewolves are strong and athletic. Clyde is happiest when he's playing basketball because of this. He most usually wins, which in "Cheer-A-Mid Power", wouldn't have lost at all if Lori Creaser haven't fallen into his arms. He is the strongest, most athletic african american at Enchatria High.
* **Sports in general:** Like basketball and other sports, Clyde takes his athleticism to the extreme, taking over any, if not every competitor at Enchatria High and who comes to visit Monster High from another school, which he would have won the basketball game more easily if he was not stopped by the cheating of a crystal ball in "Super Fan".

## Relationships

### Family

Clyde is the older brother of Rachel and Tawnya, and the younger one of Rhenas. In the *Enchatria Girls* books, he is the oldest of all Wolf children, but in the other continuities, he is merely the oldest Wolf child still living at his parents' house.

Clyde lives with his "big family in a not so big house and it always seems like there is some kind of drama going on over there. The way they argue, you'd think they don't like each other, but you'd be wrong. They watch out for each other and if you fight one of them, you better be ready to take them all."

Besides Rhenas, Rachel, Tawnya and their unnamed younger brother, Clyde has at least seven other siblings (according to a comment Lori Creaser made in "Why Do Girls Fall in Love?"). Clyde is also the son of the Wolfman and the son of Maria Finster.

In the *Enchatria Girls* books, he has six other siblings not counting Rachel, so seven counting Rachel. In the books, Clyde is the very oldest with Rachel being the very second oldest. In this book series, Clyde has Rocks whose real name is Weldon; Ron, whose real name is Weldon; and a set of triplets, Howie whose real name is Howie, and Eleanor whose real name is Tawnya. He was also said to have the youngest sibling at the age of thirteen, Connor (Nino).

### Friends

Clyde's profile states that "a pack leader can't play favorites", and lists all of the Monster High students as friends. He states that he considers Lori Creaser to be a good friend, and later, begins dating her. The two soon become an item. He also was childhood friends with Raymond, the werewolf and they spent a lot of time together in *Fight On!*. He also is shown to be friends with Deuce Gorgon, hanging out with him on several occasions in the cartoon, and Heath Burns, who also plays on the track team with the two.

### Pet

Clyde's pet is a bulldog named Rocky, who Clyde claims is his "#1 rock solid fan".

### Romance

Clyde once dated Judy Von Puckett, though she later dumped him and began dating Keith Evans the next day. This resulted in a longtime rivalry between Judy and Rachel, until Clyde confessed to his sister that it had been a mutual breakup, and that he and Judy hadn't truly cared for one another. This relationship was actually the result of C.J. Cupid's arrows.

Lori developed a huge crush on Clyde, which evolved into a relationship when they began officially dating as of "Peer Pressure". In the episode "Hide and Sneak", Clyde is concerned that Lori Creaser wants to break up with him due to rumors being spread by The Girlistly Gossip. But the gossip is proven to be just that - gossip - and the two remain enamored with one another.

In "Fight On!", Clyde and Lori had a very short breakup due to Raymond saying he needed to date his own kind, though in the end they do end up getting back together. Their relationship is threatened again in "Why Do Girls Fall in Love?", when one of Lori's ex-boyfriends shows up just in time for Valentine's Day and puts her under a love spell, making her dump Clyde in the process. Clyde gets shot with C.J. Cupid's love arrow and falls in love with C.J. Cupid. Wendy breaks the spell and Clyde is again trying to win Lori back. The spell that Valentine put on Lori Creaser is soon broken by true loves kiss too resulting with Lori and Clyde get back together again, stronger than ever, happily in love. The two share a kiss at the end of the movie.
