Meet the Iolite Hospital's Dentist: Dr. Doc-O Clown, the Clown Doctor!
I guess Clown and Dentist warning below the cut! Mostly Clown warning, though!
She goes by She/It pronouns, but prefers She most of the time. Clowns come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, with the "makeup" being a part of their skin.
She tries her best to make sure that all of her patients are relatively comfortable in her care, but understands that there are many people who are uncomfortable with clowns. This is further complicated by the fact that, for patients from outside of the homeworlds of the Iolite Hospital and the Clown World, many might only know clowns as people in costumes and makeup and not a species of people, due to that being what clowns are in their homeworlds.
She loves balloon animals, fair food, and smiles! Her entire reason for becoming a dentist is to take care of people's teeth, to make sure they are proud of their grins! She has a collection of clown dolls in her office in order to keep her from growing homesick.
Due to the fear of clowns from many patients, Dr. Clown tends to kinda "click" naturally with Landshark and Cow People patients, since they are often seen differently than the Eyeless and the No-Eyeds. An outright fear is a bit different than a biased or bigoted view, but both has led to discrimination against them. This has led to Dr. Clown becoming good friends with Dr. Baxter, Maya, Derek, and Johnny, as a result.
Aluminum loves clown culture, but has always been a bit scared of seeming weird if he just waltzed up and asked about it. He also has a fear of the dentist. So, he hasn't been able to have a conversation with her.
