FULL APPEARANCE: [tw finger loss]
Clothilde gives off an uncanny resemblance to Snow White, rosy lips and all. Her pale skin contrasts greatly with the black color of her shoulder-length hair, although the freckles littered across her skin do their best to bridge the gap between them. Her eyes are a striking blue-grey color, almost icy. And, much like ice, they have a distinct sharpness to them that can be quite useful for a mean look or two.
In spite of the Semacan heat, Clo prefers to layer her clothing to make interesting outfits that catch the eye. She avoids sweating to death by opting for light, breathable fabrics. All of her clothes are meticulously maintained and always clean- and so is she, down to the last hair or the last dab of rouge on her cheeks or lips. Her image is carefully curated- well, all but one thing. Clothilde is missing three fingers on her right hand from an accident in her early years (Anniversary Trait Gacha). Only her thumb and pointer finger remain. While she is right-handed by birth, Clo has adapted almost everything to her left hand. She still writes with her right hand, however, as she was never able to cross that one over without it looking like chicken scratch.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: [tw ableism, bullying]
Clothilde is an outwardly confident woman, always doing her best to act cool and composed even when her emotions are running hot. She is ruthlessly ambitious and will never settle for second place, always pushing herself harder and harder to get to the top- whatever the top is.
Her wit is razor-sharp and she loves nothing more than to meddle in the social dynamics of the people around her. While her motives may not always be pure, her cleverness, resourcefulness, and genuine intellect shine through when she's faced with a problem. And, truth be told, Clo will never shy away from a challenge. Her resilience is astounding, showing perseverance even in the most difficult of situations. She will never let herself be seen as anything less than capable.
The truth is, Clothilde is an extremely lonely and insecure girl. She was frequently bullied as a child due to her disability which dropped her self-esteem to rock bottom. After faking confidence and superiority until it became her entire backbone, Clo became cruel. She'd push down others' achievements just to make herself look better. She'd lash out at anyone who'd even dare to bring up her hand, even out of genuine curiosity. Being pitied ends up the same way. She started to harbor a deep disdain for weakness in herself and others.
She refuses to show any emotional vulnerability to anyone, making it hard for her to form genuine connections. Any close friends are held to extremely high standards, but will be defended fiercely, loyally, and blindly if crossed by others. She'll be a shardhead about it, but she'd never a true friend go without help.
