Character name: Suu
Series: Clover
Age: 13-14

Canon: Clover is mostly CLAMP's admirable attempt at creating a cyberpunk society. It takes place in a dystopian future, in which the government is attempting to control sorcerers, or "clovers." Clovers have the ability to manipulate technology, create material out of thin air, and do other wonderful, magical things. Clovers range in skill and ability, from one leaf clovers who have minimal psychic power to the rumored four leaf clover, who has enough power to overthrow the government and take over the world. Because of the danger that they pose, clovers are often isolated and lead a lonely existence. They can never be with the ones they love, because the ones they love may use them for world domination plans.

Suu is the four leaf clover. She knows she could pwn the government and feels enormous guilt and responsibility because of it. She has remained willingly in solitary confinement since she was four. However, she longed for human contact and the simple happiness of love. When the one friend she was allowed to speak to, Oruha, dies, Suu asks to be let out of her cage and escorted to Fairy Park by Oruha's lover Kazuhiko, so that she may be with him. But the day she exits the cage is the day that she dies, because she can never belong to anyone else. Thus Suu is reluctant to use her powers and careful about getting close to people, because she doesn't want to see them hurt over her. Since she's spent most of her life alone, she is a quiet, observant person, and very blunt when it comes to interacting with others. She is innocent to the world but eager to meet new people and learn new things, having an almost childlike fascination with the every day. Suu also has a strange affinity for all things innocent and cute, like animals, and loves singing. Most of all she wishes simply to be happy. She has just allowed herself to be killed when Fairy Park is destroyed, in order to discover that happiness.

Sample Entry:

Oh. This isn't at all what I imagined the afterlife would be. Was my death and the destruction of Fairy Park a dream? No. I remember it distinctly. Finally finding my happiness with Kazuhiko. Being able to visit Fairy Park with someone else. I'm glad that I was able to be happy, even if it was only for a moment. It was what I had always wanted. But, if this is the afterlife wouldn't Oruha also be here? Why can't I see her? And I'm not sure, but I don't think that there would be as much mud, or interesting trees, or a troublesome looking lake like that. In any case, I've never seen so much nature all in one place...

For instance, those must be real, live birds. Maybe it is paradise here, since those would be so expensive at home. Even the replicants can be pricey. And they're all so friendly too. Ah, hello, Mr. Toucan. I like animals...would you like to talk with me? I was able to at least say "hello" and "goodbye" to the animals in my world. Oh, you can sit on my shoulder, but please don't...please don't peck at me like that, it hurts. I've never heard of a bird that likes to eat meat, but I guess I haven't met very many birds. Well, here, on the ground...a piece of meat. Do you want it? Is that better now? Although it looks a lot like something that could have come from a person...

Oh, no. Mr. Toucan, it looks like that might have fallen from one of the people in front of us. I didn't notice them before, but they are pretty badly decomposed. I wonder what's wrong with them? I've never seen someone look like that and still be able to move around...and it looks like they're coming even closer to us. What do they want? Look, that one is even missing an arm. Well, miss, I might be able to help you. I can make you another arm if you'd like. I don't think the government is here to see me use my powers, so it should be safe. The arm will be mechanical but it works just as well...there, isn't that better?

I can appreciate you wanting to thank me, but you're holding me just a bit too close. It's nice to be able to hold your friends, but unfortunately I'm a little uncomfortable. We are friends, right? Well, why don't we sing together instead? What would you like to sing? Hmm, "The arm bone's connected to the head bone"...I don't know that one, but I'm not sure that's exactly how it goes...sorry, miss. Maybe we can try another song later...

Well, this place is strange, but at least I'm not alone. Maybe I can find happiness here. Isn't that so, miss? And Mr. Toucan? Let's spend some time together.
