Kel

KEL

**Kelsey Clover** is the main protagonist of *Clover*. She is a shy 13 year-old girl who dreams of becoming a music producer, but due to her depression and the influences of others around her, her goal seems impossible to reach. After a spiritual journey Kel is now currently recovering in the hospital.

## Appearance

Kel is a girl of presumably less-than-average height with short and dark messy hair which just about reaches the bottom of her head. Unlike the Ghosts like *George*, *Brenda*, and *Dave*, instead of being fully white, she uses a variety of colors in her character design and a broken heart pin on her chest.

Kel's clothing consists of white and grey Cat Headphones, a grey puffy hoodie with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, black jeans, and white and grey sneakers. When Kel was younger, she presumably didn't have the Cat Headphones, leading some to believe it was a gift from her deceased Grandfather, otherwise, she looks exactly the same.

When in color Kel has burgundy brown hair, no glasses, and a peach skin tone. She is wearing what seems to be a light blue long sleeved hospital gown, and as seen in the photo of Kel, Susie and her grandfather, her coat is pink in color.

## Personality

Kel is best described as a pessimistic and shelled person. After the death of her Grandfather (often theorised to be Dave), it is heavily implied in the beginning of *Help Me* that she attempted suicide, seeing as in the beginning of the song, she was slowly sinking into liquid which is assumed to be water. Although, it could be something implying her sinking into her dread and despair. As she is very shelled, when the Ghosts of George, Brenda and Dave offered to help her through her pain, she ran from them for a while, though this could probably be attributed to her shock from waking up and seeing them, rather than her personality as a whole.

We know that Kel only had a good relationship with her Grandfather due to the flashback scenes in Help Me, you can see things like Kel's mom, Samantha and her dad, Nelson yelling at her, and this had a toll on her mental health, as after this, she became depressed as the only person who 'loved' her was gone forever. During Clover, you can see how she slowly moves on as the Ghosts help her.

She still seems sad about her grandfather’s passing, but with the ghosts helping her reach to her body again, she goes through a journey with what she has learned, and when she wakes up from her coma, Kel feels emotionally refreshed and ready to continue her life.

## Background

Shy, timid, yet passionate, Kel dreams of becoming a music producer, but the influences of those around her combined with her depression, make her dreams seem out of reach for her.

## History

Kel was not treated the best. In fact she was probably verbally abused by her parents (Not cannon). Scolding her too much for her wrong doings, even if she did not mean it. She also starts to lose grades and many of her classmates had made fun of her. Many people ignored her when she wanted to ask anybody for assistance. The only person that cared for her was her Grandfather who was dying soon, She was devastated during that time.

She may have dived in a body of water and started to lose her breath. Now in a near death experience. She encountered three ghosts and in a state of panic, she starts to run away. But the ghost mean no harm and rather tell her lessons from when they were mortal. She even tears up when she sees Dave.

Maybe indicating Dave may be the old man, who was Kel's grandfather.

She takes his hand and goes with them, wanting to learn lessons from the apparitions.

In Living On, she is seen crying about her grandfather and George cheers her up first, telling her to sing her favorite song to lift her spirit and think of every great memory. He plays with her a bit, and gives his heart pin. and fusing it with her broken one, Kel gives a big hug to George. She feels a tad down when Brenda comes to her aid cheering her up telling her to give a smile at the little things and thinking of what good things she still has left, she dances with Kel a bit and then takes her heart pin to fuse it with her pin. Dave hugs Kel telling her to not pay any attention to the people that bring her down and have faith to upcoming events in her life, he draws up a Wubby cartoon and both him and Kel get transported into it, he takes Kel's hand and runs with Kel. After encountering Wubby and dodging some bullets, they jump out of the cartoon and wave goodbye to Wubby, Dave hugs Kel again before Kel starts to cry and Dave comforts her, giving his heart piece and fusing it with hers, making a full formed clover. Kel then flashbacks to when she passed out, she walks on a rumble strip, and then she falls, however the ghost grab her hand and bid her a final goodbye, wishing her the best for her spirit to come back to her body and remember them in her heart, Kel then goes into a journey of flashbacks and races into a door that leads her back to her body, however she realizes she is turning pure white and she is starting to loose connection to her and her mortal form and if she doesn't act soon then her and her mortal self would split and Kel would be fully dead. She felt like she lost herself for good when suddenly the powers of luck, love, faith, and hope combine their clover energy, erase the broken clover she once had, and opened the door for her. Kel walks into this light and awakens in her body, she gathers her consciousness as she picks up a lucky clover amulet (which probably gave her the luck to see her family members to get her on her feet and continue with her life). She sees her grandmother who is proud to see her granddaughter awake again, and sits next to her on her bed. She will have to take a little further bit of recovery before she can move out of the hospital and continue her life that she nearly lost.

## Trivia

* It may be hinted in the beginning of the song Help Me that Kel drowned in a body of water/committed suicide in an unnatural way of death in the Clover universe, thus giving a reason why her heart pin is broken and is not completely white, other than that there is no reason she has a broken heart pin.
* It is confirmed that Kel was in a near death experience, almost losing her body and herself.
* In the end of Living On Kel's last name is confirmed to be Clover.
* Or3o also confirmed on a Twitch stream that Kel's original choice of death was to get hit by a car. She changed this due to it taking up too much time and the fact that it was to violent.
