In Series 2: Destiny's Traitor, she is part of the small crew that repaired the Umberbug after it crash-landed into World 8.

## Appearance

Clover is sleek female Guardian with a deep brown coat spiking up on her cheeks and chest, with darker long arched mane and tailtip, and darker still nose and hooves, her eyes are a rich green matching the two clover shaped hairclips she keeps in her mane.

## Personality

The first child of TG Holly France, Clover is regarded as a brave and noble second in command, calm and controlled and never showing her anger even while in battle, when she asks something of another pack member they obey her out of sheer respect, or at least knowing that no-one around would let slander towards her slide. Though in recent times she has grown absent from public appearance, hoping to leave her life of responsibility behind her for a low-key existence, and with pressure growing from the council for her to step back up, Clover secretly plans to disappear completely into the background, far done with a life where all too much relied on her.

## History

### Pre-Series

Clover Lee France is the first child of TG Holly France. She was born on world 8 August 17th 2006 in northern England alongside her 7 other littermates, and grew up in the forest outskirts around Yorkshire with Holly and the rest of their growing pack, stealing food from humans and avoiding capture. Clover is the only child of Holly’s to be given a middle name by her directly, with it being the surname of her childhood friend before being transformed into a guardian and leaving that life behind. She technically holds the second highest status of the island by birth right, though she has never been on the council and such position has as a result basically been claimed by Zidane, Clover doesn’t mind this though, preferring to live a low-key life and making her public appearances more and more scarce as time goes on. Like most of the early group she has several now grown fawns with other members of the pack, though rarely sees much of them due to the atmosphere of the family as a whole at the time, Clover now holds very little interest in finding a partner, instead spending most of her time in the company of best friend and immediate brother Eclipse.

Her peers in past regarded Clover as a brave and noble second in command, she is calm and controlled and never shows her anger even while in battle, when she asks something of another pack member they obey her out of sheer respect, or at least knowing that no-one around would let slander towards her slide. She is beyond kind and an excellent listener, always taking her group’s concerns into consideration and doing everything in her power to keep them safe and happy no matter the cost to her.

Upon moving to Custos in September of 2012, Clover dropped nearly all authoritative responsibility she had held in the past in favour of a more peaceful life, the only time she ever now takes action is with her original litter ‘The Dream Team’, whenever they are needed to deal with threats to the island in Holly’s absence. Instead, she now spends her time working as a mechanic at the garage alongside Fly, very much enjoying the normality in it after such an eventful history. Despite the threats from Ash and Zidane that with Custos entering crisis, Clover needs to step back up and help fight for their cause, she has as of currently refused, and secretly plans to disappear completely into the background should their pressuring continue, far done with a life where all too much relied on her.

Even with a calmer life in present, a lot still eats at her mind day to day, she holds a lot of remorse for the distance that seems to have grown between her and her mother despite their tight bond back in the day, blaming herself for becoming so absent she rarely manages to see her anymore. Clover admires Holly greatly, while other members of Custos have over time grown sceptical of her ability as a leader, Clover’s devotion has never wavered, she knows far too well the pressure such a lifestyle can cause with her own old position being too much for her, and wishes the island was more sympathetic to her mother. She hopes one day to rekindle their relationship, though is torn between her life in the shadows and doing so, waiting for some outside move to inevitably make the decision for her.
