thinking about serial killer's daughter clove again! can you imagine the vibes though like.
her dad was supposed to go into a hunger games but then didn't and he tried to live a relatively normal life with like a wife and kids and everything, had three sons on purpose and then an accident baby (clove) like ten years after the third son. one day he allegedly goes mad and kills a bunch of people at the quarry where he works in some vicious murder spree and peacekeepers chase him down and shoot him dead right in front of six year old clove.
her brothers are all grown adults/gone and the mom doesn't want to deal with a grieving traumatised child by herself so she sends clove off to the academy and then disappears to one of the other towns. clove's brothers have either relocated far away or just can't afford to take her in so she gets to live in the academy dorms. then clove spends years getting bullied and teased about her loser deadbeat serial killer dad who couldn't get into a games so she puts on this creepy image to protect herself and becomes so good at knife throwing that it gets her a highly coveted spot in the games.
she plays up the father's daughter image/her inherited sadism and it kind of stopped being an act somewhere along the way. she does obviously have emotions and feelings though, in fact one of the reasons clove grows fond of her district partner is because he deeply respects her and doesn't belittle/harass/tease her about her past or act like her father's actions define her, and he's terrified of her but in an admiring and sweet way instead of genuinely being repulsed by her like most of her peers were around her.
#who's gonna write the fic#I'm sorry guys I'm so bored#in my fic I wrote Clove as just having a normal family because I've met girls as mean as her irl that have relatively normal families#so I know you don't have to have a tragic creepy family history to be a bitch lol#but yeah serial killer's daughter clove literally fits her personality so well#had to sneak in some clato at the end of this post lol#literally any dynamic they have is so important to me because i feel like it's one of their first times of friendship#where they didn't have anything to gain from each other and just appreciated each other as people. liked each other#like yes you can say “Oh they only cared about the rule change because the alliance could be extended”#in the movies he left her to die of course (pisses me off to this day) but in the books:#no one who only cares about practical alliances/protection gets on their knees to beg the person not to die#okay this turned into a clato rant real quick oops#thg#clove kentwell#clove thg#thg clove#thg headcanons#the hunger games
