Clover

4 Clover

Clover is the fourth member of the Felt.

Concept and creation

Clover's hat is designed after the purple billiard ball numbered 4, and his name references the shamrock associated with Ireland and leprechauns in popular culture; in particular it refers to the four-leafed variety of the clover, which is said to bring great luck, alluding to Clover's abilities.

Biography

Intermission - original timeline

Clover gladly offers to provide advice to the Midnight Crew if they are able to solve one of his mindbending time-based riddles.^{[citation needed]}

Clover is extremely superstitious, and gets very worked up when Spades Slick attempts to destroy the Lord English's vault with Crowbar's crowbar.^{[citation needed]}

Intermission - unfavorable timeline

Clover is assumed dead in the unfavorable timeline created when Spades Slick destroys English's vault.

He reappears after a while, so his luck didn't run out after all, unless time shenanigans were involved.^{[citation needed]}

Act 6

He was defeated by Karkat Vantas in Collide. He had his eyes flash with a star, a heart, and a horseshoe, hinting at having some sort of feelings for Karkat in response to that, although our knowledge of leprechaun romance is limited.

Skills and abilities

Clover's power is incredible luck, which makes him very difficult to actually harm; he states that a gun pointed at him would probably just jam^{[citation needed]}. Despite this making him immune to grievous harm, he can still be influenced with the use less lethal instruments, such as a rolled-up newspaper.^{[citation needed]}

Due to his seemingly never-ending luck, he is the only member of the Felt who is never seen to have died of natural causes; it is possible that the temporal energy resulting from the opening of English's vault caused enough bad luck to render his powers useless.

Weapons and paraphernalia

He has also been shown to be in possession of one of Quarters' coins, namely the one coin that allows Quarters and himself to switch places.^{[citation needed]}

As seen in Collide, Clover uses a Glock .45 as a ranged weapon, and a 2x4 piece of lumber - or "a 4x2 held sideways", something he shares with fellow Felt member Doze - as a melee weapon.
