Content warning for child abuse, death, violence, and unhealthy coping.

Clementine was born the youngest in a family of three and Candice’s fraternal twin. While she shared her sister's intense love and admiration of their older brother, she was her sister’s shadow at the end of the day. Clementine and Candice did everything together and supported each other’s interests, even if they didn’t like it themselves. They both adored gymnastics, acrobatics, swimming, and combat sports— and they both excelled at said interests. They were both academically excellent, with the glaring exception that while Candice remained obedient and upstanding in her academic career, Clementine became more unruly and delinquent in her later formative years. She was naturally a very shy and even timid child but as she grew older, she began to grow more vocal, more assertive, and even more combative. Her confidence came from her sister, but her aggression was likely spurred on by increasing turbulence in her home life.

When she was around ten, her mother unexpectedly died. The entire family was shocked and struggled with the grief of losing someone they depended so heavily on, financially and emotionally. Clementine in particular struggled to cope with the feelings of sadness and allowed them to turn to anger and frustration, which ended up manifesting in her running often and performing increasingly more worrying acts of rebellion and delinquency. She failed to process her feelings in a healthy manner, instead turning to fight clubs, parties, graffiti, and many nights dangerously spent skateboarding alone through the city with her earbuds in. While she remained on good terms with her siblings as they tried to steer onto a gentler path, she never managed to address the wall that she had seemingly built up overnight to avoid confronting the reality of things. The true acts of aggression came when her father began to develop unhealthy coping mechanisms as well. He began drinking in copious amounts and taking out his frustration on his children. Grief became anger and abuse; first verbal, and then physical. While her brother and sister tried to cope with this change by being home less and avoiding their father unless he was asleep, Clem refused to take the abuse. If he started a fight, she finished it. She got into physical altercations with her father frequently and tried hard to defend her family from him. It finally ended when, in the dead of night, her brother told her and her sister to pack and they took off without a word or warning.

The months that followed were excruciating. The lack of proper shelter or food led to Clem fighting for cash. When that wasn’t enough, she began stealing and conning people to make more. During this time she discovered her “artistic abilities” and began seeking comfort in her own creations. She vented to them, cried to them, opened up to them in private. She even found her own abandoned garage to use as her giant canvas for all of her new companions. Unbeknownst to her, her blossoming career in criminality had set off a gang. On top of this, her newfound haven ended up being a part of their territory. Intending to send a message to her, the gang leader ordered an execution on her brother. Candice and Clementine were devastated, and when Clem found out who was behind his death and how the leader himself had a plan to ambush and execute her, she came up with her own plan. She waited for the ambush party to walk into her garage and slaughtered him and a number of his goons. Her abilities to manipulate artwork terrified the remaining members and Clem ended up forcefully taking over the organization. She kept her new position of power a secret from her sister for the longest, explaining away how she was suddenly able to afford them a nice home in the suburbs, enough food for them to survive on, and all the comforts they were long overdue for.

Shortly after though, Candice went missing. Clementine was once again devastated. She searched for weeks for her sister after hearing nothing from gang lookouts or police. She ended up falling hard into the bottle and frequently partied and fought to try and feel something through the numbing pain. She felt hollow, she felt incomplete without her twin and her brother. With no one left in her life, Clementine finally broke down and let herself cry a good few years worth of trauma out. Her coping mechanisms reached an all-time low after she woke up in hospital with alcohol poisoning. She realized something needed to change and tried to recuperate as best she could. She got back into a healthy diet and exercise routine, moderated her alcohol intake, and attempted to try counseling. It stuck for a few weeks but she felt like she was just going through the motions for the longest time.

Six years later, she received a letter from her sister. She was informed that Candice had been taken in by the SCP Foundation as an anomalous object due to her ability to create real things from drawings. She was being put on a probationary team of field agents set on keeping the world safe by finding and containing other, more dangerous beings like her, and she wanted her sister to join. While initially very hesitant to join this organization, Clementine was desperate to have her sister back and jumped at the opportunity, deciding to keep her own “gifts” quiet to avoid meeting the same scrutiny as her sister. She was well-trained despite her bullish nature and became one of the most effective agents on the task force. She’s recognized by most as the Jaguar or the Mustang for her wildly impulsive nature, her formidable strength and agility, and her utterly indomitable spirit. She feels guilty for the fact that she’s continued to keep so many secrets from her sister, but she thinks it for the best that she maintains a level of discretion for all the things she knows and does. To her, it feels worth it. She fears losing the one last person she loves and cares about more than anything in the world.

Despite being Candice’s twin, they are only so similar. Clementine shares in her sister’s intelligence, leadership skills, flexibility, and adaptability. She’s a true strategist, a hard worker, a loyal fighter, and reliable friend. But unlike Candice, she maintains a lot less composure and dignity in a lot of her responses. She’s much more stubborn, hot-headed, and infinitely more impulsive and mischievous. Despite her job, Clementine finds great joy in going against authority and breaking rules if she thinks they’re not fair. She’s a wise-cracking rebel, bold and unbothered by the opinions of others. She’s coy and clever about what she wants, preferring to drop hints and joke about or flirt, but if something is on her mind and truly bothers her then she doesn’t hesitate to say it. She stands up firmly for what she believes in and she’s not afraid to throw her opinions out with a right hook. She tends to come off as coarse and unrefined at first glance, making her incredibly unpopular among the staff of the Foundation, but she’s damn good at following orders… just as long as they come from Candice. Despite seeming like a weakness, her quick-to-act nature and strong fighting instinct has allowed her to survive all of the horrors the Foundation has thrown at her.

When she’s not busy spitting in the face of authority and giving the finger to everyone that dares to try and order her around while simultaneously not being her sister, Clementine does show a significantly more tolerable side of herself. She’s naturally very playful, very social, and good-natured. She takes playful jabs at people and shares in her sisters ridiculous sense of humor. She tends to grow on people that give her the chance and does her best to sincerely get along well with those who she respects and who she’s earned the respect of. She does have quite the competitive streak, engaging in playful rivalries with others when they mess around, play-fighting with them, and laughing with them over drinks and movies or games. She’s secretly just as kind as Candice, but she prefers to play off her “soft spots” with the distinctive tough girl attitude she likes to put up.

And when she’s not preoccupied with telling the team old stories and messing around with them, Clementine tends to try and find time for herself— namely so she can interact with her companions. Having finally found an out from the gang life, she enjoys talking with her living artworks about all the things she can’t discuss with others. She views it as a form of self-care, conversing with them as she does other things like laundry, cleaning, cooking, hygiene, and outfit prep. She dedicates a fair amount of time to herself as well, indulging in her hobbies and trying to always keep her mind distracted so she doesn’t have to think too hard about the more undesirable aspects of her life at the moment and in her past,

But no matter how tough Clementine likes to act, and no matter how hard she tries to avoid confronting the fact, deep down, she’s really just a fragile, sensitive soul. She’s a softie for the people she cares about— the number of which is greater than she is willing to admit. She loves the team like they’re her family and she especially loves her sister. She clings to Candice and she has a deep fear of losing her and the sense of control that she feels like she’s finally taken back after a lifetime of letting it slip out of her hands over and over again. She still has quite a few unhealthy patterns in her life, including unhealthy coping mechanisms that she refuses to confront because she’s too scared of what she might find if she looks too hard at herself. She fears confirming anything negative that has been said about her. She fears losing people or disappointing those she cares about. She acts like a strong protector because she knows what it’s like to feel weak and she doesn’t want anyone else to have to know what that feels like. She’s too proud to ask for help because in her mind, doing so would mean admitting defeat. Clementine fears commitment because it jeopardizes her secrets. She fears vulnerability because it could mean getting hurt. She fears honesty because she thinks it might lead to abandonment or loss. She wants to be everything to everyone, but she doesn’t know what she is to herself yet. And frankly, she’s too scared to find out.

DISLIKES: Authority, people who tel her to be quiet, having to lie to her family, being confined r restrained, being doubted

MAIN - SCP

• Clementine is the task force's charger. She boldly takes the lead on missions and happily plays the most dangerous roles.

• Clementine does have anomalous abilities similar to Candice’s but not the same. Anything she draws will become animated and able to move across connecting surfaces, including walls, ceilings, clothes, and skin. While others may not be able to interact with them, the drawings are always able to interact with 3D objects and people.

• Similar to her sister, Clementine's blood has a similar consistency and properties to ink. For this reason, she tries very hard to keep injuries covered and to a minimum to keep her anomalous properties hidden.

• Clementine keeps her creations hidden and they know to stay out of sight to avoid raising suspicion.

• Clementine has a lot of connections and no evidence leading back to those connections. She was involved in organized crime for a long time before she left the scene.

• Clementine, surprisingly, does have a formal education. She is deceptively smart for someone with such a wild and rowdy nature.

• Clementine doesn’t particularly like or trust the Foundation. She doesn’t agree with a lot of their orders or methods and only sticks around for Candy’s sake.

• Clementine was one of the original MTF Alpha-6 members. She's been with the task force since its conception, and therefore working with the Foundation for nine (going on ten) years.

• Clementine likes dressing up in a rather ambiguous fashion. She likes leather and boots and motorcycle helmets as much as she likes hoodies, track pants, beanies, and sneakers.

• Twin girls run in her family. Thus far, the past seven generations on her mother's side have all been twin girls, and Clementine herself is a twin.

• Clementine has been in and out of jail and has quite a record in the system.
