personality: 

━ Intuitive. His inner intuition is crazy-most of the time he just gets this gut feeling that something's up or will happen and tends to act on it, which leads to a part of his personality being quite "I'm just going to do what I want" such as walking out in the middle of class if he thinks something he likes is going to be on for lunch. This intuitiveness helps his second trait, which is 'nurturing'! It's so strong that people have asked him frequently on occasion, "Are you a clairvoyant?" because it's really like he can see the future, except he always replies, "I think one day I'm going to be screwed over by luck, since it seems to favor me so much." (I'm sorry I should write more but I-I don't really know what else to write on this personality trait so I'm going to move on- TvT)

━ Nurturing. Whether it's inanimate objects or living beings, Clemen is your all-around loving mom friend. He's your go-to person if you need a heart-to-heart talk, if you accidentally ripped your outfit and need a quick fix, the type of friend that always sends over fresh fruits and vegetables on a monthly basis just to make sure you aren't dying on a diet of junk food-all that. In fact, he cultivates a medium-sized vegetable garden, an excellent cook, and is quite talented at all things fashion-he can sew very well and can be like, the costume guy. In terms of people, while he may seem kind of unapproachable and unpredictable at first, you'll learn that Clementine is actually very sweet (like his name!) and open, who is a very good listener and will listen quietly without any complaints to whatever you have to say to him. 

━ Protective. Oh, man-this one doesn't need much to be said. Much like a dragon will guard their treasure, or a dog will protect their owner, DON'T touch anything Clementine cares for unless you're willing to face his wrath. Tying in to his next main personality trait, moody, he tends to have ups and downs with his protectiveness. You definitely don't want to touch his sewing supplies or his vegetable garden or his notebook, lest you wish for bruises, but if you touch anything else of his he'll at most just snap at you sharply and whisk them away protectively into his arms and glare at you. He tends to be more protective over his things than people, but he can get fired up over people too! 

━ Moody. Like mentioned above, Clementine usually has up and down days depending on what happens in the day. He is usually a passive, placid, quiet, if not appearing very introverted person typically seen with his nose in a book, writing or drawing out some new idea of his, or doing something quiet by himself. However, that's just how he is to those who don't know him well-those who are his close friends know he's one of the moodiest people around. His mood swings are unpredictable-they come and go suddenly, or they stay and linger and then vanish seemingly instanteously with seemingly no good reason. He's learned how to regulate his mood swings, but still ends up snapping at people or being very unmovable at times (he always apologizes awkwardly afterwards).

━ Passive. He's got this talent for just fading into the background. Just... fading. He's just a naturally quiet guy who one might call an introvert, but contrary to popular belief he's not really into stopping arguments. (He might even cause them at times!) You can usually see him with a placid, borderline expressionless face on whilst doing his own thing. Uh... That's too short so I'll add on another personality trait, that he's full of ideas! Part of the reason why Clemen wanted to go into and was accepted into the drama club is because he's always brimming with ideas-chaotic or not, fashion related or not, gardening or cooking related or not! And he's (mostly) not afraid to share them, either, although he will get prickly if you try to peek over his shoulder while he's writing or drawing them down in his notebook(s).

━ Subtle. You wouldn't know it looking at his moodiness, but he's actually quite the actor. He's learned how to restrain his feelings in to a certain extent, normally appearing quite stoic or having a 'quiet face' on. Aside from that, though, he is also quite humble. He's not the type to overly flaunt his achievements-which some recognition is nice, he gets embarrassed and/or flustered easily under too much attention. He's quite sneaky if he wants to be, and is a mASTER at hide-and-seek thanks to his small stature and quietness (don'ttellhimIsaidthat). Clementine is also quite good at being passive-aggressive, and admits that he finds some pleasure in scaring people, although not too much.

background: From a young age, Clementine was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, which is basically a health condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus) and the backwash (acid reflux) irritates the lining of your esophagus (copied and edited straight from google search). That led to him having a rather frail body for most of his early years and frequent coughing, and while he's okay now aside from coughing fits if he overexerts himself too much or eats unhealthy things too much, he was definitely not okay when he was around 6 to 10. He had a very caring family comprised of three wonderful siblings and two kind parents, and a very nice living house on a cliff by the sea (being by the sea calmed him down). However, as his condition didn't seem to get better but worsen, and as his mood swings started to emerge, his parents started to increasingly direct all their attention on him and pressure on his oldest sister Cara. Now since Clementine was young, he didn't realize that his sister was slowly breaking under all the pressure until one day when he was around 12 and his condition was just about to get better, and received a notice that Cara had thrown herself off a cliff. Her body was found a week later, and when Clementine found out the real reason behind why she had decided to die and felt terrible. He was inconsoable for nearly a year, almost becoming a recluse. The only good thing about that time was that his condition didn't worsen-a small comfort amongst so many other painful things. Eventually three years passed, and over time their family learned to heal from Cara's suicide and when they heard wind of the drama club, they urged Clementine to go since his condition was much better and he'd never been to proper school before.

// I'm sorry if that was too short or if the ending was not-that-great, I tried my best to make it descriptive but I'm bad at endings!! > <'

family: Cara Zimmerman (oldest sister, deceased), Seville Zimmerman (older brother), Valencia Zimmerman (younger sister), Navel Zimmerman (father), Lima Zimmerman (mother) // yes, they're all types of oranges, I decided to go ahead with it UvU

strengths: a great cook | very brotherly | tranquil (mostly) | has lots of great ideas | nurturing | protective of things he cares for | determined and hardworking | a good gardener | studious | (mostly) friendly | a good artist (mostly) | kind

weaknesses: Has mood swings | does what he wants without minding other things, which can backfire at times | can be (over)protective | sometimes is too passive | weak body | mood swings can be easily triggered if you target the right thing | easily guilt-ridden | dwells on the past | can be forgetful | unpredictable and volatile | can be too uncaring

hobbies: Cooking, sewing/doing something fashion-related by hand, gardening, writing/drawing down new ideas in his notebook

why they joined the drama club: He gives three reasons for those who ask- the first, out of boredom, and belief that his fashion skills and emotions and ideas could be put to some use for those in the drama club. The second, because his family urged him. And the third, for someone who is no longer with him, someone who loved drama.

*love interest(s): Sure! Preferably a male because my boy, once torn away from his hobbies and thoughts, is quite un-straight uwu

clothing style: Very casual-like anything that isn't restricting is a go-to for him, like T-shirts and comfortable pants. He doesn't like jeans all that much since they're uncomfortable for him, and wears all types of scarves around his neck to cover his birthmark. He also likes cashmere jackets or sweaters-cardigans and things like that.

*song: Line Without A Hook by Ricky Montgomery

playlist: The Horror and the Wild by The Amazing Devil (he just likes listening to this one) | Meteor Shower by Cavetown | This Side Of Paradise by Coyote Theory | Dandelions by Ruth B (again, he just likes listening to this one) // tell me if I need more!

aesthetic: I'm not very sure about this one so, hmmm, since his name is an orange just go for orange themes and oranges! Maybe some brains since he's got ideas? (I'm sorry I'm terrible at answering questions like this) Vegetable gardens, spaghetti-yeah!

quotes:

- "My intuition is telling me that there's going to be spaghetti for lunch, so I'll be leaving now!" *leaves the room in the middle of class*

- "The worst feeling in the world, is that feeling of drowning. That feeling, when absolutely nothing is there but absolutely everything is encasing you, suffocating you in the terrifying feeling of helplessness, and you cannot do anything."

- "What good is an intuition if it only came after something I wish it would've popped up for had already passed?"

// please tell me if I need more!!

passwords: Done!

*extra: 

- Doesn't like playing video games FOR THE SOLE REASON that it hurts his eyes, triggers his mood swings more than ever, and that he's absolutely terrible at it. Terrible. 

- Prefers savory and salty foods over sweet things and pastries if given the knee-jerk choice, but likes pastries just the same! (In particular, he likes spaghetti)

- Trying his hand at hat-making, although he has admitted it is admittably more difficult than making costumes.

- His name was going to be 'Tangerine', but then I thought back and was like "... That's a bit strange, even for me..." And changed it to 'Clementine', since it was still an orange.

- Likes riddles and puzzles; one of his favorite books is 'Alice In Wonderland.' He also likes to imagine 'alternate endings' to things such as fairy tales.

- Wants to own a pet but thinks it'll take away from his other hobbies, so he didn't get one.
