Clover | No Mercy | Former Acquaintence

While Clover is largely a silent protagonist, elements of their personality are shown or implied at several points. Generally, Clover has a strong sense of justice and a drive to do what they perceive to be the right thing, with some variations depending on the route. They have an affinity for unusual food and often steal without questioning. Despite their mission to reach New Home making up most of the story, in all of the timelines without Flowey's interference, Clover gives up their mission to live a peaceful life with Toriel, and during the Neutral Route, they never turn down Martlet's offer to live with her. Clover is referred to with they/them pronouns. Clover's appearance: They have short brown hair with a tuft in the back, as well as pale skin and a usually neutral expression. They wear a dark brown leather vest over a brown shirt and a pair of cuffed blue jeans. They wear a yellow and blue bandana, usually depicted as yellow with a blue polka dot pattern in official artwork, a pair of brown shoes, and a brown cowboy hat. Most of their artwork depicts them with a belt. During the Genocide Route, their eyes are hidden beneath a shadow. In their overworld sprite, Clover appears to be 5'8. They also have yellow irises. Their main reason for jumping into the Underground was to seek justice for the five humans preceding them. While never explicitly stated, it is implied that Clover may have come from an abusive or neglectful home because cramped living conditions bring unpleasant memories to Clover's mind. This may have resulted in them becoming independent at a young age.

Because Flowey wants them to fight Asgore for him, he has been repeatedly resetting his SAVE and manipulating Clover for some time before the game takes place. After falling into the Underground, Clover originally chose to stay in the Ruins with Toriel. Flowey eventually provoked them into leaving the Ruins, but following the path laid out in Undertale led to Clover repeatedly dying, unable to make it to New Home. Eventually, Flowey decided to tamper with the switch puzzle after each reset to set them off course and use his SAVE to allow Clover to pass through the Underground easier.
