AND YOU WONDER WHY SHE GETS MAD AT YOU, ED goodness
Well see the thing is, Tempest is...... kind of a shadow of Aurae. Tempest is a mostly moral-less person who lives by her own rules and handles things her own way, as opposed to Aurae who ha very strong morals and lived by her village's rules and handled things the way they were meant to be handled. In D&D terms, she went from a lawful alignment to a chaotic alignment. And she doesn't remember a lot of those important parts yet! She still has yet to remember taking her first life and how wrecked she was afterwards and all that and while her village's destruction had a huge impact, so does that memory. Because her village was the loss of her old life, this memory is the real loss of her innocence and childhood, essentially.
So Shadow Clover is essentially Tempest at her worse. No morals, will kill when necessary, doesn't listen to authority and does what she wants when she wants. There's two points in Tempest's life where she is at her worse, and it's her late teens and when she starts working for Maias again, and . . . well, neither is worse than the other but that's really what a Shadow Clover would be. Not Tempest the mage, or the Tempest-with-an-occasional-sense-of-humanity, but Tempest the Mercenary. Tempest at her most dangerous, with no filter and no reserves. And it doesn't matter who or what because Tempest at her worse has only one goal in mind and that's to kill Maias, and she will do anything she can to make sure she accomplishes that. ALL HATS ARE OFF.
Is there anything Clover can remember that would change Ed's perception of her? Ie, thinking she's a good person and so forth.
