IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Haha. No. But to be more specific: Clea isn’t a very physically affectionate person. Unless she initiates, which would only happen with a select few people, she won’t react positively to being touched without explicit permission.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Try her. No really, she’d be entertained. Clea might appear slight, but she packs a hell of a punch — and she’s been quite literally fighting a war for years now, creating monstrous creatures that bend to her will. Clea doesn’t shy away from conflict. She is the conflict.
RELATIONSHIPS: It would be a Sisyphean task to romance Clea. Not that she hasn’t been in love before, because she certainly has. But her family has always taken priority in her life, and failing to respect that would end anything romantic before it could even begin. She is a classic eldest daughter, expected to shoulder all her family’s burdens and rise above them. Getting involved with her means enmeshing yourself in the Dessendre drama, and would you really want that?
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: While she doesn’t have the ability herself, anyone is free to peer into Clea’s mind. They will find what looks like a bizarre, surrealist landscape that makes absolutely no sense. It’s like stepping into a living painting — except the colors and concepts keep shifting. Have fun?
MAGICAL INFORMATION: She wouldn’t call it magic, but Clea is one of the strongest wielders of this power in her world. Not only can she create whatever she likes from her memory, she can give it life and a will of its own. She will often be seen accompanied by her creations, otherwise known as Nevrons. Some of them are kind of freaky.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Given the fact that Clea is from 19th century France, her understanding of mental health is pretty narrow. She’s undiagnosed autistic and dealing with a massive amount of CPTSD, neither of which were recognized during her time. In addition, Clea is rendered partially blind when peering through the eyes of her Nevron creations, and her eyes will turn a white color.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Suicide attempt and suicide ideation are probably the biggest ones, with profound unresolved grief right on its heels. Clea has been fighting her family’s war for a long, long time, and she hasn’t processed any of her trauma.

SHIPPING
SEXUALITY: Bisexual. That isn’t an invitation — she’ll stomp you.
SHIPS: Gustave, Verso, Lune, Sciel, Simon (sob), Monoco. It’s really whether the other party can handle her. She’s a bit uhhh intense?
MAYBE: Renoir and Aline, not because I’m anti-incest lines, but because her feelings toward them are deeply complicated. It would take some serious work.
NO THANK YOU: Maelle, Alicia, and anyone under 25.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Much to her dismay, Clea inherited none of her father’s height, though she makes all her mother’s 5’5” count. She’s always had long, wavy hair and piercing gray eyes, but certain circumstances have turned her skin gold-flecked gray — almost like a living statue. Interestingly, though, despite coming from wealth, Clea’s clothes are often simple and stained with paints and clay. She also despises shoes, and will forgo wearing them at every opportunity.
AURAL: Speaking in an even alto tone, Clea’s voice resembles a rapier: sharp, meticulous, and to the point. It’s obvious that she’s well-educated and chooses her words carefully, each one primed to land a blow. However, this is also a defensive tactic. As the eldest daughter of a once great house, Clea has been expected to maintain order amidst chaos, and it shows in the way she sometimes flings cruel remarks when backed into a corner. Clea wants you to think she’s always in control. She most certainly isn’t.
OLFACTORY: Clea smells distinctly of linseed oil, damar, and turpentine — all hallmarks of oil painting. There’s also hints of sulfur presumably from her clay sculpting, though that particular scent seems to linger on her skin unlike the others.
DEMEANOUR: Demanding, exacting, and chilly, Clea is a force to be reckoned with, easily commanding any given space she inhabits. Her powerful presence was carefully crafted over many years, the high and often unyielding expectations of her parents forcing Clea to form a thick skin lest she be ground under their heel. She can be intimidating, to say the least, but there are sometimes glimpses of her warmth underneath. Occasionally.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: Definitely good.
THREADHOPPING: Feel free. It only bothers me if the other character consistently makes no attempt to talk to mine, but will threadjack my posts.
FOURTHWALLING: No thank you.
