Name: Clem Decourt
What do they look for in a person?: Clem's crushes have been few and far between because she's fairly discerning. She doesn't have a physical type; she's more after kindred spirits than looks. She likes people who have an intense quality to them, whether it's passion or energy or conviction. She doesn't like gentle, shy, or pushover personalities. She also needs people who aren't offended by her sometimes mean-spirited sense of humor for sure. She wouldn't be able to handle having to be careful with someone's ego.

What do they find romantic?: She's not super into sappy cliche shit. Or codependency. Or, surprisingly, drama. She finds most other people's gushy high school romances to be borderline intolerable. This has a lot to do with the fact that she's really uncomfortable expressing positive emotions. Excessive compliments and "I Love You"s didn't get bandied around in her family a lot while she was growing up. It's just not their style. Now she's most likely to respond to any kind of open affection, friendly or romantic, with an embarrassed aside of "gross, whatever", and she lets people know she cares about them by TALKING SHIT. lovingly. Recently she's been better about telling her friends she loves them and just being genuine and whatnot, and it's getting easier because she's actually comfortable in her relationship and with her friendships. She doesn't settle in easily thanks to her abandonment issues, but things are going well so far.

As for what she actually does find romantic... like... excitement! Adventure! Fun! Doing dumb shit together! She's here to have a good time, mostly. If a relationship isn't fun she's not sure what it's good for.

She is also surprisingly fond of the gifts Sy gets her. It's not so much about the things themselves as the the thought that goes into it. Like, she's always tickled when he gets her flowers, but this is more about the fact that he bothered to remember what kind of flowers she likes than anything else. Low bar? Maybe.

Who do they have a crush on?: boyfriendo

Are they seeing someone right now?: Yes, she's been dating Sy Stoker for ???over a year???. She has no idea how it happened either.

What are they like in a relationship?: Low-maintenance, which has been a godsend in her relationship with Sy. Her only pet peeve is feeling like he doesn't care about her or has forgotten about her (like when he didn't ask her to that one dance), but for the most part they're just on the same page now. If he's a jerk to her, she tells him to stop. If she needs to apologize to him, she does it. She's not really sure why things need to be more complicated than that.

Anything else?: What other romance-themed things do you want to share about your character?
