Clove Perler was bored with their life: they were living with their parents, unable to drive, and not rich enough to go back to school. All they really had, not having much contact with the outside world, was their family, the Internet, and music. Then they found an interesting job listing in the paper; this listing perfectly matched Clove's own qualifications, so they sent their online application in. Soon they found themselves swept into the second phase of the application process, having been considered a good fit in the first phase; it is at this point that Clove gets a firmer idea of who they're working for and what their job will be. They just end up more interested in the idea and their enthusiasm grows; they continue through the end of their training and take the final, hoping to pass. Two weeks later, a Konnosuke, envelope in mouth, comes into Clove's bedroom via their closet; Konnosuke informs them that the envelope contains their examination results and any further action the Time Government wants them to take. The letter informs Clove that their performance on all sections of the exam was "adequate" and gives them the information for their new Citadel; Konnosuke creates a portal in Clove's closet for back-and-forth travel to the Citadel.
As a saniwa, Clove is hardworking and does their best to be involved when they're not busy with their work or needing to be at home. They do not live on the Citadel grounds, choosing to remain in their old bedroom; they do their best to make up for that.
Intelligent • Creative • Persistent
Clove is, undeniably, smart; they've noticed that people seem to realize this within five minutes of speaking with them. (They don't mind it, admittedly.) They're also a creative thinker on a lot of levels; these two things combined leads to unusual things coming out of the Citadel and unusual solutions to problems that pop up. Even if those unusual solutions didn't work, however, Clove's sheer stubbornness would lead to something getting done. This persistence is a big part of their ideas for future swords...
Pessimistic • Insensitive • Tense
Clove is not the best at looking on the bright side of life, although they have their reasons. This can lead to overly cautious strategy, as they expect things to go worse than they will; whether the touken danshi they're sending think they're underestimating their abilities is a good question. They can be a little difficult to socialize with, as they don't realize that they're hurting someone until it's already happened; sometimes they go too far into the other direction and apologize without needing to. Finally, they always seem a little on edge; part of this is that Clove has an anxiety disorder, but part of it is Clove's need to make the Citadel better than "adequate."

- They keep their hair short partially for gender reasons and partially because their hair is difficult when it gets longer than their shoulders.
- They have multiple pairs of glasses in different colors, but their favorite is the one in the picture.
- Does not consider themselves from where they were born or where they live at the time they become a saniwa; they consider themselves to be from Vermont, where they grew up.
- Wants to meet other saniwas and become friends with them; however, they're nervous that they'll make some sort of social faux pas, not to mention the potential language barrier.
