Profile
Clover Vaccerelli is the only daughter of the previous leaders. Her father was big, intimidating, and strong Popfloss while her mother was a weak and frail Sugarfloss. She was raised half and half by a mother who wanted her to be dainty and lady-like and cute and a father who wanted her to be powerful, strong and tough. She had a lot of pressure because she was an only child and her royal mother couldn’t have more children. Because of all of this, she acted out against her father a lot and rebelled against his wishes after her mother died when she was about 14. He was abusive when she didn’t shape up to his expectations as he didn’t know how else to get her to change. After her mother died, Clover really leaned into dainty fashion and being ladylike like her mother wanted, but the rebelliousness never went away. Being pampered and spoiled, she was conditioned to never take no for an answer and she doesn't give up easily. One thing that was hard for her was never being very skilled in her nullification abilities. It did not come easy for her despite all of her efforts. Because of this, she was forced to show interest in firearms and is very skilled with weaponry, building, using, and modifying any and all she can get her hands on. She is also very adept at deception and manipulation. She comes across to people as being small, cute, and dainty, but her attitude can change on a dime and she has a short fuse. People who know her know that her cuteness is a front that she uses to catch Floss off guard. She rejected her father and as such has more of a chosen family that she trusts and spends time with. She hangs out with the gangs, especially Don Cannoli’s gang, who taught her about weapons and the underworld. She is very knowledgeable about the streets and gang life, from her time spent in his care. Her father also died during this time when she was in her early twenties. At that point, her life changed dramatically. There was a lot of power struggle and politics that she wasn’t interested in before. She never talked to the other clan leaders before taking the throne, though they knew about her. And finally, she started understanding more about how the rest of the world was different from Iota and she left her clan for the first time to meet with the other clan leaders and travel around. Iota is the smallest clan and she felt like they really needed to make their mark to make their importance known to all of the clans. During the peppermint outbreak, they started getting in with Alpha and sending them weapons which was entirely Clover’s idea. She had worked towards this for as long as she had been on the throne and it was a huge moment of pride for her to be able to support her clan with the things that they had made.
Clover often would hang around the Viper Kokkino's territory. She found their high energy and ruthless attitude attractive. The Vipers' leader Rocco Ritchie would constantly flirt with her openly. Clover rejected him each and every time, always saying that she only likes men who are stronger than her. She was rather cruel to him in how she would deny his affections, but Rocco always shrugged it off and would do it again next he saw her.
During the War of Pnevma, Clover saw an opportunity to gain some much needed land for the Iota region. This land could make huge differences in the clan's economy and benefit the Iotan people greatly. It was a deal she couldn't say no to. To help Clover try and stay neutral in the war, Rocco took on the face of the Rebel's ally, and took charge in the war efforts. At the climax of the war's final battle Rocco stepped in to save Inoue and is partially responsible for the Rebels victory in the war.
When the clans met to negotiate the peace treaty, Clover was close to being severely punished for the Iotan's betrayal, but thanks to Rocco aiding in the discussions they were able to get off without too much punishment, and even secured the land they were promised.
When they returned to Iota, Clover and Rocco were both hailed as heroes to the Iotan people, and Rocco was praised as a great general and powerful fighter who saved the clan! During their Celebrations, Clover revealed her true feelings for Rocco. All along her harsh attitude towards his affections were based on shyness and confused feelings for him, but now that he nearly died to help the clan, and aided in defending her during the Unity trials when they succeeded, Clover realized her true love for him. When Rocco casually flirted with her at the celebration, Clover slapped him on the face, then pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Rocco was floored. She announced their engagement that very night.
