it seemed that no matter how many times she reminded the blonde that not looking at someone while speaking to them was kinda rude , sam could never make clover retain that information for longet than two seconds . maybe she should simply stop treating a constant as variable .
❛ not an employee , cloves . ❜ the redhead pointed out , making her presence known before starting her own search through the piles of clothing . her friend was right , it was a mess and definitely didn't please sam's orderly taste . ❛ do you even know what you're looking for ? that might be a little more helpful than a secret section of clothing . ❜
"omigod, sam!" clover spins to face the redhead, grinning as if it's been months rather than five hours since she's seen her best friend and roommate. "what are you doing here?"
"not that i'm not happy to see you! i'm glad you could pull yourself away from the lab." sam works way too much – at least clover's job allows her flexible hours. "and i could really use your help." she turns back to the rows upon rows of utterly meh clothing, holding out the first article of clothing her hands grasp: a chartreuse blouse that belongs back in another century. "you see this? i need to find literally anything that isn't totally... ew."
her nose crinkles as she shoves the sorry excuse for a blouse back onto its hanger. "i'm looking for some skirts and seasonally appropriate jackets, preferably red and pink, of course... but any sort of specificity might be too much for here."

clover's gaze narrows as she surveys the assortment of clothing, fingers flicking between fabrics as mutterings of "no", "ugly", "ew" escape her lips. she didn't think this was a second hand store, but if so, that'd offer some explanation to why the clothing is so... disorganized, to put it gently.
"do you work here?" despite hearing approaching footsteps, she doesn't bother to look up, still sifting through the disappointing array of attire. "or do you know if there's, like, a secret section of... more aesthetically cohesive clothing?"
CLOVER EWING is based on CLOVER from TOTALLY SPIES. she is a 26 year old human, pop culture columnist, and uses she/her pronouns. she has no powers. clover is written by ALEX.
At first glance, Clover is your typical valley girl, obsessed with appearances and speaking with plenty of smatterings of "like" and "totally" - but she's also an incredibly talented spy, willing to get her impeccably manicured hands dirty for the good of the world… Or to fight anyone who dares to cross her friends. Sure, she's materialistic, with a fashion obsession some roll their eyes at, but she's fiercely loyal, and she (with only some reluctance) would toss out her entire wardrobe to ensure the safety of those she cares about.
She's incredibly competitive, at times going to ridiculous lengths to prove herself as better than whoever she opposes or anyone who dares to underestimate her - and she can be incredibly petty when it comes to her rivals, fixating herself on nothing but defeating them until she's "won". Clover often projects a level of confidence some would find bordering arrogance, and while she does think fairly highly of herself on good days, admittedly, it also serves as an efficient mask to plague self doubt stirring within - which contributes to a constant urge to prove herself, even when it's doubtfully worth it.
Still, she uses the fact that she's often underestimated to her advantage, squeezing information from those easily convinced with shallow flirting who don't see her as a threat, gaining gossip by whatever means necessary... Which are mostly legal. At times, Clover can toe the line of morality in her pursuit for "necessary" knowledge , but it's all for the greater good, right?
HEADCANONS:
Clover is a serial dater, often instantly "falling" for for people she passes by - but after spending a few minutes alone in their company and unveiling their flaws (or, her idea of flaws), her romantic interest becomes soured. She has incredibly high standards - ones that she can barely match herself, but she tries anyway.
Canon, but the fact that she can identify different water brands by taste alone is so funny to me. She’s a Fiji girlie, obvi!
Nearly her entire wardrobe is red and pink, supplemented with a few black and white basics. Speaking of wardrobe, hers is massive, with a normal sized closet devoted just to handbags, and another to shoes. She regularly cycles out her wardrobe, not daring to walk out in anything out of season… But, of course, she donates her old clothing to the less fashionable in need, or, as she would say, "stylistically challenged".
She has a cat named Vivienne! Viv also has her own wardrobe, of course!
Clover is intelligent but very easily distracted if not passionate about the subject - in school, she did fine enough… As in, the bare minimum of passing because she couldn’t be bothered to work harder than necessary in subjects she didn’t care for. She cheated a bit in math - but was smart enough to get away with it. Of course, in her fashion design class, she was number one!
She's a secret nerd - she’ll act like video games, anime, and all that is totally uncool (even if she's gotten a lot more c, but she’ll indulge in her geek hobbies when she thinks no one is watching.
Clover is big into yoga and pilates, and she maintains a rigid workout routine even in Evermore... Because as much as she's "settled in", some part of her is always waiting for her next mission, and she refuses to stay idle or unprepared.
She’s bisexual! She certainly was boy obsessed growing up, but as she grew older, she realized she liked girls, too - but was just a little more intimidated by them. I mean, girls are so pretty.
