Yknow, Clockwork is another OG/classic Creepypasta fandom character I never really touched all that much. I don’t think I ever had any issues with her as a character nor her ships or anything like that, she just wasn’t that interesting to me.
Also this should go without saying but just in case, I don’t endorse anything any of the OG creators have done in terms of bad shit. I heard clockwork’s creator was added to the list of “OG CRP creators that are POS” and. Yeah.
Expect canon typical dark topics beyond this point
Is physical the oldest human resident out of everyone, somewhere in her early 30s
Is the newest resident, however
When she was a little kid, she lost her eye in an archery accident at a summer camp
Usually wears an eyepatch, but does have a glass eye underneath
The older she got the more expressive she got with her fashion, especially steampunk related things. Has both a clock themed eye and a working watch face on her eyepatch
Wears a dark green coat with many pockets and belts that’s two sizes too big for her
Has her hair cut really short, chin length and a spiky scruffy mess
Has a military family, specifically her father and grandfather. Her father wanted a boy but got stuck with Nat and her sister instead
If he was still alive today he would’ve gotten what he wanted cause surprise, Nat’s sibling ended up transitioning when he was 20
Due to the harsh way Nat was raised (corporal punishment, like I’m talking her father believed in more than just spankings) she has a pretty high pain tolerance and an even higher disdain for authority and discipline
And because of that she’s also very brash and blunt. She’s not mean on purpose but she’ll call it how she sees it
The BIGGEST IDGAF Queen like holy shit Nat doesn’t care about anything anymore
It’s not that she doesn’t have motivations, but it takes A LOT to get any kind of reaction out of her
Nothing fazes her anymore, which is why most of the residents have stopped bothering in trying to make her tick
Has one of if not the smallest hair trigger among the others. She’s a stab first questions later kinda guy
All this impulsivity isn’t for nothing though, she’s specifically an impulsive chaotic mess because of how unfazed she is by shit
She’s constantly chasing every new high she can get her hands on just so she can feel something other than all her repressed trauma. Which she has a lot of
But I mean so does everyone else, she ain’t special
Because of how new she is, her disobedience has relatively gone unnoticed by the head honcho, but Clockwork will continue to keep living the way she is even if punishment is in store for her
The others swear up and down that she’s gotta be a masochist at this point
She’s not as durable as Nina or Jeff, but what she lacks in bulk she makes up for in whoop ass
No but seriously if you were to spar with her she’d knock you on your ass before you could blink
Yeah she’s pretty adept with bladed weapons and handguns, but her real strength is her bare hands
The one thing she’s grateful her father and grandfather taught her is self defense and combat
Unfortunately that too came to bite her in her ass
Spent a few years in juvie after beating the snot out of one kid within an inch of his life, all because the poor kid made fun of her.
It wasn’t even a good scathing insult either, it was barely anything, but Nat reacted way out of proportion
She brags to the others that she’s been to and made it through prison already. Even though she hasn’t. I doubt any of them fully believe her
Because of her problem child tendencies, her family disowned both her and her sibling before either turned 18
Her brother was able to get a steady foot back on life, but Nat? Well…
She’d pick up a lot of odd jobs to stay afloat. Most ended up being more on the illegal side
But hey, being hired muscle pays well enough, so for nearly a decade she continued this line of work
Until the boss of her boss’s boss pissed off the wrong guy. And let’s just say no one who had connections to that specific guy got to make it out alive
Nat was kidnapped, tortured, and forced to endure all kinds of inhumane shit before they dumped her body in the woods
By all accounts they swear up and down she died, or was basically on the way out when they dumped her
But a couple months after her and her colleagues were disposed of, talk of “the grunt with the eyepatch is back” began circulating in the crime world
She’s littered with a lot of scars now because of this, including the scars on her cheeks she’s constantly stitching up
Nat isn’t as hellbent on revenge as someone like Ann is, but she certainly revels in taking out anyone associated with her murder
Is friends/close with: Jane, Nina, Puppeteer, and Jeff
Has a tolerable relationship with/is neutral about: Eyeless Jack, Liu, Ann, Masky, Hoody, Sally, and Kagekao
Hates: BEN/Ben, Helen, Jason, and LJ
Doesn’t give two shits about Slenderman. She doesn’t hate it, she doesn’t love it, all she does is acknowledge the fact it’s what’s keeping her alive
Is in an on-again-off-again relationship with Jane. Buuuuuut because of her intense nonchalance, the two are constantly going on breaks. Nat swears she cares about Jane genuinely, but so far her actions have yet to match her words.
A lot of the others dislike her solely because of how new she is. That, and her abrasive personality
So it’s no wonder she gets along with Jeff pretty well
After adapting to her new “life” living alongside other monsters and criminals, one of the first things Nat did was go out and kill her father
Her grandfather had long since passed even before the family disowned her and her brother, but she knew for a fact her father was still kicking
Besides the whole raised military thing and physical abuse, Nat’s father was generally a piece of shit guy
The kind of guy that’s all smiles in public but behind closed doors is a menace to his family
I’m talking shitty father of the year award here
Luckily, Nat’s mother finally gained enough sense to divorce his ass after news of Nat’s “murder” went public. Because Nat was fully willing to kill her too if it meant leaving no witnesses
No one’s ever really asked her about how she feels about her past life, it’s a touchy subject for anyone living this life, but if she were to be approached about it, she wouldn’t be able to give you a straight answer on if she misses it
Like yeah, a lot of them miss their old lives and desperately want to go back. Jeff, Eyeless Jack, Ben, Sally, Tim, Jane, Liu. But Nat? She falls more in line with the likes of Helen and Brian. She’s just not willing to admit it yet.
