Current Residence:
- Clover currently lives in a small log cabin on a mountainside. Though the yard itself is pretty small, there are vasts forests and grassy fields surrounding it that allows for exploration. There is not much for other housing in this exact location, making it for the most part quiet and peaceful. A small town known as ponyville is of walking distance from this location, which is filled with convenient places such as small shops and markets. There is not much for free space inside of the cabin itself, but that is fine for Clover considering he lives alone and spends most of his time outside anyway.
Job:
- Clover runs a shop full of anything of value he finds on his journeys. Whether it be gems, stones, or different kinds of artifacts he happens to stumble upon. While you can find things of lesser value in his shop for lower prices, every once and awhile a one may find something considered rare or of high value that may be a bit pricey. It all depends on what happens to find be found. Clover does not run this shop alone, but has trustworthy merchants helping him keep the shop open while he and a few others are away looking for new items. Though he carries a variety of items, his shop is best known for its gems. Clover has a unicorn friend who works at the shop and with magic has luck with finding jewels and will often come across one of good value. Meanwhile, Clover is better with his hooves and able to venture into places many would not dare go, to find items others most likely wouldn't come across. He also has luck on his side, which is another factor that help keeps his shop running.
Mother:
- May - A pure white coated goat, with sparkling magenta eyes. She was a brave goat, who taught Clover many life skills he uses today. Unfortunately, May passed away about a year ago. Clover and may had a great relationship. They enjoyed going on adventures together, and finding new things and places. May was craftsmen, making jewelry out of gems she found herself. She made a living off of selling her creations. She never made too much money but despite this she lived a happy life and was especially grateful for the family she had.
Father:
- Onyx - A goat with an ebony colored coat and minty green eyes. While Onyx is kind and light hearted, the best word to describe him is lazy. While Clover was growing up, it was May who did most of the work around the house and made most of the money for living. While Onyx had many special gifts and talents, he hardly used them, preferring to sit back and relax. While Clover still had a decent relationship with his father, it was hardly anything compared to the relationship he had with his mother. Clover and Onyx hadn't really spent much quality time together up until recently. While the death of Clovers mother was an unfortunate event, it brought Clover and Onyx closer together.
Sibling(s):
- Clover was born a in an isolated area with no other kids around but her cousin Kit. Growing up Clover wished for a brother or sister to keep him company when he was alone, however his wish was never granted and he remained an only child.
Other Family:
- Grandma Rose - Looking almost exactly like her daughter May, Rose is the oldest member of his family Clover met. Often times, Rose would tell stories about when she was a kid, the adventures she had growing up, and where many of the family traditions came from. The last time Clover saw rose was before he moved to Equestria, however every once and awhile they will exchange letters.
- Aunt Summer - Mother to Kit, sister to May, and wife to Bob. She consists of a light tan coat and magenta eyes. She enjoys adventuring, and often joined May and Clover on little journeys they had when Clover was growing up. Overall Clover and Summer had a good relationship. However, they lost contact when Clover moved to Equestria.
- Uncle Bob - Father to Kit and Husband to Summer. Bob has a creamy white coat and deep green eyes. He is a goat of few words and may appear shy at first. Bob was the first to introduce Clover to books. The two of them shared and interest in reading and learning. They lost contact when Clover moved to Equestria.
- Cousin Kit - Daughter to Bob and Summer. Kit is outgoing and energetic. She loves sports, games, competition, and most of all winning competitions. While deep inside she his a kind soul, she may appear a bit self centered at first. Growing up, Kit was the only one of Clovers age around. The two bicker allot but ones life just would not be the same without the other. While they are family, they are also the closest of friends. They have not seen each other since Clover moved, however they still frequently wright to one another.

-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
- Exploring / Adventures - Clover loves the thrills that come with adventure. You never know what kind of obstacles you are going to run into when your out in the worldliness. While some may fear the unknown Clover finds thrill in it. It keeps an exiting kind of energy flowing throughout his veins. He enjoys finding new places, as well as the scenery that comes with those new places. He also enjoys the hunt for new things, perhaps he could come across an item to add to his collection, or even sell if its of value.
- Laughter - Just like mostly everypony else, Clover enjoys a good joke. Laughter is something that can cheer him up when he is feeling down, and can brighten up his day a hole lot if things seem dark. Not only does he enjoy a laugh himself but he also enjoys seeing others laugh. Every once in awhile he will crack a joke just to see the others smile.
- Books - Clover has liked reading ever since he was young. He does enjoy a good storybook but he mostly enjoys studying and learning from educational books. Especially books about geography, it helps him decide where he would like to travel someday, and likely will, considering he travels a lot. He also enjoys books about ancient artifacts, since he has come across a few on his journeys. He likes to know what he is looking at and where it came from. Though he really enjoys any educational book, and uses a lot of the information he collects from them on his adventures.
- Traveling - Traveling allot is part of Clovers job, and he quite enjoys it. It is always fascinating to see new places and things, as well as meet new ponies. He hopes to someday visit every city or town in Equestria, as they all hold their unique traits and characteristics, and each place holds different artifacts. Not only does he explore across Equestria though, he has and will continue to explore the beyond.
- Observing - Clover will often be found observing the environment, as well as ponies around him. He likes to know what is happening in the world he lives in, though not in a manner that would make him appear too nosy, or would disturb anypony. Instead he simply likes to sit back and watch. He also happens to be very observant, and can often times make out what is going on simply by watching.
Dislikes:
- Bad luck - Though it doesn't happen to him often, Clover really dislikes bad luck. This could partially be because he is so used to having luck on his side. When he does have bad luck, which everypony has sometimes, it hits him hard and he doesn't know how to deal with it. Though he understands very well that bad things do happen... its just those little unlucky events that really get to him.
- Boastfulness - Yes, everypony has there own talents, and it is always good to put those talents to use. Especially when you are helping somepony else. However it is not good to go on bragging about how your talents are better the somepony else's. Clover hates when a pony, or any creature for that matter goes on talking about how good they are at something. While it is good to have self confidence, it is always good to remember that you are no better then anypony else.
- Bullies - While Clover has had personal experiences with bullying, he has been a witness to the action, and will stand up for anypony who is bullied. Even if it ends up that he is picked on, he doesn't care. He believes everypony has good qualities, and should be praised on for that, not picked on for the bad qualities. He also believes that everypony should be treated equal, and will stand up for that belief no matter what.
- Anything too fancy - Clover is more of the outdoorsy and adventurous type. He isn't afraid of getting his hooves a little bit dirty. He dislikes ponies as well as places that would not accept him for just being him. This would include things such as fancy restaurants, galas, or really any place that requires a pony to be 'proper.' Not that he is the filthy slob type, but he doesn't enjoy dressing up fancy, or hanging with those who are afraid of getting a little bit of mud on their hooves.
- Large Crowds - Clover adores open space, and hates being closed in. He can get claustrophobic easily. Because of this he hates crowds, and tries to keep his distance from them.
Motivation:
- There are many different things that motivate Clover but mostly he strives to have a happy and fulfilling life, not only for himself but he also wants to please those around him. He wakes up every morning hoping to bring a smile to somepony's face. He is often seen as a good luck charm to friends, as luck seems to follow him wherever he goes and he likes to share this blessing with others. Another thing that keeps him motivated is the little thrills in life, he strives for adventure. Finding new places and things is always a good way to keep this goat going, and he almost never tires of it.
Strengths:
- Luck Clover has been a magnet of luck ever since he was very little. Whether it be at playing games or finding things on adventures. He also considers becoming a successful shop owner luck, as most people would not be able to find the right items through their journeys to keep a shop open, but he manages and does pretty well for himself. He also seems to share this luck with others around him, especially when adventuring with them. He says this luck comes from a gem called a mint star he wears around his neck that he found when he was young.
- Bravery - Clover is a very brave goat and will often venture into places others may be scared to go. Whether it be entering dark caves and caverns, to climbing the tallest of mountains, he has done it all. Instead of giving him a fright, these kinds of things spark an interest. You never know what sorts of things you are going to find when off adventuring, and he enjoys the thrill of this unknown.
- Stamina - Clover is able to keep going, and rarely tires out from anything. Whether it be from using his legs in physical activity, or using his mind in learning. It is the thrills in life that makes him want to keep moving, but that wouldn't be of much use if his body was unable to keep up. Luckily he is in shape and able to keep going for as long as he wants.
Weaknesses/Flaws:
- Stubbornness - It is hard for Clover to stop when his goal has not been reached. This can cause all sorts of problems with friends on adventures. When everyone else is ready to turn around and call it a night, Clover will insist they keep going, which often annoys the other ponies. This also makes it hard for him to accept when a goal cannot be reached and hates the fact that he cannot always accomplish what he wants, when he wants.
- Hot headed - Clover is not angered easily, but when he does loose his temper he does not easily let his guard down. In other words, it is hard for him to just let go and let go of an old grudge he might have towards someone or something. When he gets angry, he normally stays angry for quite some time and it is hard for him to get over it and let things slide.
- Gullible - Clover is easily persuaded to believe something, or put trust in others. This can lead to him getting into trouble, a not everypony can be trusted as much as others. He may give valuable information to somepony who may use it wrongly, or tell a secret to somepony who is unable to keep it. Also, he believes most things that ponies tell him if it makes sense, even if it ends up not being true.
Fears:
- Failure - Clover has always had a fear of failing in life. He hates the thought of letting other ponies down, or letting himself down. He sets expectations for himself, and expects them to be reached, not liking to think about what may happen if they are not. It is okay to be unsuccessful at certain things, though he dislikes it. It is another thing to fail overall in life. The thought of that kind of failure downright scares him.
- Cramped Places - Clover has a fear of getting stuck, especially in small areas. The fact that he gets claustrophobic doesn't help either. When in small areas he is always paranoid that something is going to collapse and trap him inside with no way out, which is one of his worst nightmares.
Overall Persona:
- Clover is a unique soul. He has an adventurous personality, enjoying mostly anything outdoors from thrilling adventures to simply admiring the beauty of nature. He grew up in a land beyond the boundaries of Equestria, though moved to the land of equines at a rather young age with his mother and father. Moving away was a both good and bad experience. He hated leaving behind the rest of his family behind, however the new adventures he would find in Equestria would be endless.
He wears a small star shape pendent of a gem he found long ago around his neck. It is a minty green color, and is extremely lustrous and beautiful. He believes this pendent gives him luck and wears it wherever he goes.
Ever since he was very small, Clovers life has been based on adventure. He always liked traveling into the unknown and finding new things and places. As a matter of fact, Clover has based his career off adventuring, finding new things, and selling those items, with the help of a few others. Clover is no social butterfly, but he does get along with most ponies that he meets, and enjoys the company of others. Despite this he currently lives alone, in a small cabin aside a mountain not far from ponyville. He is close enough to the small town that he considers himself a resident, and has gotten to know a few ponies who live there.
Though he seems to get along with most ponies, he still has grudges towards some he doesn't let go of. He is unable to let go of these grudges. When he gets mad at somepony he stays mad for quite some time, and does not easily let things slide. However being hot headed does not stop him from being overall as kind as he can be to others. He likes to know that his customers are satisfied, and enjoys seeing smiles on other ponies faces.
History/Background:
- Clover grew up in a small town that that lied beyond Equestria. His parents thought they were the luckiest pair on the planet when their son was born. That is when they decided on the name Clover, based off of the four leaf clover that was said to bring luck. The town was rather isolated from the outside world, and for awhile, this was the only place Clover had ever seen. Surrounding the small town was miles of endless forests that were full of many mysteries and secrets. It wast long until Clover found a fascination of what lied beyond his small town, and was adventuring through these forests. His mother shared this fascination, and would often bring him along on adventures through the woods. Often she would bring her son to mines that were not too far off from their home, where the two would dig up all sorts of gems and stones. Though his mother showed him how to create jewelry out of the things they found it never seemed to catch his interest as much as actually finding them. More often then not, Clovers aunt Summer would join in on these adventures, and the three would find and discover many new things together. One day on one of these journeys, Clover happened to come across an extremely rare gem called a mint star that like the four leaf clover, was said to bring luck to those who found it. It was light green in color, and was more shinier than any gem Clover had seen before, it also had a star shape to it.
Bob, Clovers uncle, soon introduced the young goat to books of all sorts. Clover enjoyed almost all of them, especially the ones that talked about the world beyond where they lived. For awhile, the world had seemed so small to Clover, but he soon realized it was a lot bigger then he had imagined. Soon he had his own collection of books of all kinds, from fairy tales and folklore to books on world history. However his favorite always remained geography books. There was one place in particular that spiked his interest known as Equestria. One day, news hit that he and his immediate family were going to move to Equestria. While he was exited, he didn't want to leave behind the other members of his family. He would especially miss his cousin kit, who was his only play mate at the time.
It was a long travel to the nearest train station. They had to tread several miles through the woods by hoof to reach the next town over, that unlike where they had lived was a lot larger, and had a train station. They had to carry all of the belongings they wanted to brings, so each of them packed light. Clover was forced to leave behind many of his books, which he was extremely upset about. However it was impossible for him to carry them all, along with his other stuff, so he had to pick a few and leave the rest behind. His parents promised to buy him new books once they reached their new home in Equestria. The family first moved to manehatten. It was a large city, bustling with activity. It was a lot different from living out in the country. Clover disliked many of the things the city had to offer, and absolutely hated the crowds.
Once in Manehatten, Clover was able to attend school. He enjoyed the teacher, and the many things he learned, however many of his classmates were a bit snobbish. He witnessed others get bullied as well as get bullied himself. They called him a filthy creature that could not live up to the high class standards of the city. Even after he graduated, the people in the city still had that snobbish attitude. He got a job as a merchant, selling goods at a bakery until he finally saved up enough money to move away from the city, and into a more quiet place where he could once again be with nature. That place happened to be the cabin near ponyville where he currently resides.
