- Clover talking to One

Clover is a kind and respectful young lady. Despite being adopted into royalty, she knows how to act as a princess.

- Three complimenting Clover on her healing magic

Despite her young age, Clover is a quite skilled Kindness mage, which she attributes to being taught by her sister, one of the most powerful Kindness mages.


 * Shield of Kindness: Clover can create barriers out of magic. They are quite durable, as they were able to withstand multiple knife strikes from Frajla, to whom Two and Four were struggling to inflict even the slightest injury.
 * Shell: Clover has unique technique where she can touch a person and make a shield directly around a person's body, leaving them frozen.
 * Healing Magic: Clover can use her magic to accelerate the healing of others or herself. Her proficiency was praised by Three, which Clover said was due to her sister Mila's training.

Early Life
When Clover was a child, she was abandoned by her biological parents; she had not yet gained a trait, so they thought she was traitless. Eventually, Clover was adopted by Kauzku Triuzar and Calliope Rutrow. This act of kindness caused Clover to gain the Kindness trait; she was trained by her sister Mila in the art of Kindness magic.

Someone They Believed In
Clover is in a guarded room by herself, crying, presumably due to her father's illness. Suddenly, the Noble Team of the Scorned Vigilants burst in brandishing their weapons. She demands to know who they are, and Two quickly tells her that they were sent to deal with a threat in the castle. Four also apologizes, easing the princess's concerns. Clover overhears One say he refuses to kill her, and realizes they were sent to kill her. One tries to reassure her, but the guards from earlier return. The Vigilants hide, and the guards enter the room, confused about why Clover is still alive, one of the guards says they will get paid way more if the original assassins failed, and prepares to kill Clover, saying her father doesn't make the rules anymore. One quickly intercepts the attack and kills both men, terrifying Clover. One tells the other three Vigilants to escape, and report he went rogue. He asks Clover where her father is, and she says he is unwell, her situation dawning her. One promises the princess he will protect her, and the other three Vigilants agree, saying they will help. One tells Clover her home is no longer safe, and they will guard her if she accepts, and she does. The five then leave the room to escape the castle.

To The End
Clover and One hide, while the other three of the Noble Team scout an escape route, as an army of Vigilants have approached the castle. Breaking the silence, One tells Clover that his daughter looked just like her, and she was also a kindness soul. Clover asks if she was a wizard too, but One says her soul was never very strong, and she would get sick a lot. Clover asks if that's why he became a vigilant, to which he says yes, as he made a lot of money. His daughter got healthier for a while, but eventually died anyway. Clover tells One that thanks to him, she's still alive. She tells him that she was adopted by the royal family, after her biological parents abandoned, due to the fact she had yet to developed a trait, leading her parents to believe she was traitless. However, thanks to the kindness of the Rutrow family, she developed a trait. One says that she knows what it's like to be traitless, and asks her if she hates her original parents. Clover says no, as their abandonment allowed her to find her new family. One tells her that she will make a great queen, and ruffles her hair, the two sharing a familial moment. One then gets impatient, and the two go search for Two, Three, and Four.

They arrive just in time to find Frajla, the Two from the Immortals, about to kill Three. Clover quickly puts a shield between Frajla and Three. One mocks his teammates for not being able to take out a little girl, which enrages Frajla. She attacks the shield again to no avail, and is quickly overpowered by One, and pinned down by Two and Three. Frajla complains about the fact that she was not informed about mages, and One asks what she was told. Frajla reveals that she was not sent to kill Clover, and that she left once a vigilant with a strange helmet started talking, as it made her and even the One of the Immortals scared. She tells them that the Immortals and Scavengers are working together, apologizes to Three, and then quickly leaves the town. The Noble Team and Clover then prepare to face the army of Vigilants.

No Old Vigilants
Clover heals the Noble Team's injuries, and Three praises Clover for her skill, to which the princess attributes to her sister training her, and Four says to thank her sister for him. One tells them all to get ready, and they're going to travel across the rooftops, as he doesn't want to fight an army. Clover gets on the older man's back, and they move out.

They get to the exit, but just as they do, they are attacked with explosives. The five are soon surrounded by other Vigilants, and the One of the Immortals (whose name is later revealed by the Noble Team One to be Annalise), taunts the Noble One, saying that she thought he was less predictable. One says to let them go, and none of her soldiers will have to die. Annalise says she thought he'd be grateful, considering she killed his last Four, and muses if One knew that the dead vigilant was hiding his Patience magic. She tells One to surrender, and he might be able to live serving her. One charges, putting Annalise in a headlock. He tells the Noble Team to get behind him; Annalise says he will die to day, to which he says even if he does, he will outlive her. The Noble Team runs up the stairs, being pursued by the army of Vigilants. They run up the stairs and notice that the helmeted Vigilant Frajla mentioned is cutting bridges, cornering them. Having no choice, the Noble Team attacks while Clover hides.

The Noble Team massacres the army, and Clover comes out of hiding. The helmeted Vigilant approaches them, along with Annalise. Annalise gets on her knees, and she begs for mercy. He asks if she surrenders, and she says yes. He tells Annalise she is discharged, and plunges a knife all the way through her throat, and One says she deserved better. Four realizes who the man is, which Two confirms to be The Prisoner. The Noble Team attempt to fight The Prisoner, but are almost immediately overpowered and injured. Clover screams for him to stop, and he finally does. Suddenly, One stands up and takes of his mask. He tells The Prisoner that his name is Broath Kvann. He attacks The Prisoner but is stabbed in the heart. But just before he dies, Broath sends them both over the edge of the railway. Clover screams, and Four notices a darkness filling her eyes. Four quickly grabs her, telling her Broath needs her to be strong. The two cry together, mourning their friend. Clover heals the remaining of the Noble Team, and when Two asks what happened to One, her and Four say nothing. Realizing what it means, Two says that One was right, there are no old Vigilants.

The Final Hour
Clover finishes healing Two and Three's wounds. Two, now the leader of the Noble Team, asks if anyone knows any places they can go for safety, but Four and Clover shake their heads. Two decides that their best bet will be the sewers, reminding the group that the Scavengers are still out there, and they leave as it begins to thunderstorm. Three tells Clover to get on his back if anything bad happens and she agrees. As the lightning flashes, they see a silhouette of someone watching them, and Two goes off to search. Three then notes it's odd that there is no one around, even with the storm, and Four tells him to keep Clover close. The three trudge on, when suddenly they are attacked. Four is thrown off balance and almost falls of the bridge, but grabs the cloak of The Prisoner, revealed to be alive. The Prisoner pulls both of them up, and Four prepares to fight, when sudddenly a crossbow bolt fires into Three's arm. Realizing they have been ambushed, Four tells Clover to shield them. Two appears and attempts to stab The Prisoner in the heart, but he just barely blocks the blade, piercing his hands. Clover's shield begins to crack from exhaustion, and Four tells them to run, so Three picks up the princess and tries to escape. Two and Three join them, but Three is shot in the leg. Clover tries to heal him, but it too tired. With no other option, Four challenges The Prisoner, while Clover and the others escape. He puts up a good fight, but is stabbed in the heart. The Clover, Two, and Three watch in horror as The Prisoner kicks Four over the edge.

Why You?
Clover, Two, and Three are left in shock after Four's death. Three screams while Clover silently cries. Two attempts to comfort her, but she asks if One and Four would still be alive if they hadn't tried to save her. Unable to comfort her, Two leaves her and Three while he finds a safe place in the Blethrin sewers. He returns, saying that The Prisoner is searching for them. Clover suggests that they follow the tunnels out of the city. Deciding it's the best option, the trio heads out. However, Two doesn't move ahead for nearly twenty minutes. Three asks him what's wrong, and Two suggests that they hand Clover ever so they can live. Three refuses, saying that that would make One and Four's deaths in vain, and Two says that they will die too. Two says that the Noble Team is dead and throws off his mask. He yells that his name is Banglin Aiethro, and that Four made him want to live again. Three punches Banglin, and Banglin looks up to see Clover sobbing into Three's cloak in fear. Three demands that he put his Vigilant mask back on, and Banglin tries to apologize. However, Three says they are all under stress and he doesn't owe him an apology, but he should let his actions speak louder than words when he apologizes to Clover. Two puts his mask back on and guides them through the sewer, leading to a dam held by a Kindness Arnicite bridge. Clover is suddenly pushed ahead when The Prisoner appears, saving her. Three throws The Prisoner down the tunnel, but is severely wounded. Clover helps Three walk as the trio attempts to escape as The Prisoner quickly chases them. Suddenly, Frajla appears and attacks The Prisoner. She manages to hold him off, but is thrown aside. Quickly Frajla shatters the arnicite creating the bridge, washing everyone away. Clover grips onto Three as they are thrown around by the torrent. With the last of his strength, Three throws Two and Clover out of the water, and collapses. Two grabs a remnant of the arnicite and asks Clover to use it heal him. He breaks the magic rock apart, and Clover uses the magic inside to heal Three's injuries. Clover tends to Three, turning away from Two, leaving him with the guilt of trying to leave her to die.

Audience In The Garden
Clover, Two, and Three wake up in the sewers, and after checking no one is following them, they head out to look for a safe location. Two finds a letter addressed to them from someone named "S", asking to meet them at a specified location. Three tells defeated Clover that they are going to find S so she can keep everybody safe, to which Clover replies that not everybody is safe, still distraught over One and Four. The three make their to Blethrin's higher level, and are ambushed yet again by The Prisoner. Two and Three attack, but are once again defeated. Before The Prisoner can stab Three, Clover summons a shield, protecting the Noble. She grabs The Prisoner's leg and a shield form a perfect shell around him, leaving him stuck, however the Vigilant begins to crack the shield. Three grabs Clover and Two and runs through a pillar, breaking the support just as The Prisoner breaks free, and the building falls on him. Three notes Clover's unique ability, and she says that she just learned how to do it one day, and that Mila calls it her "manifestation". The Prisoner emerges from the rubble and gives chase, and the trio runs. The make it to the maintenence bridge and the close the metal door. Three holds it shut as The Prisoner tries to break through. Suddenly, the other side of the door goes quiet, and Clover and the Nobles take this chance to run. They make it to the location seconds before their deadline. A Patience mage welcomes them, and leads them to a garden, on a flowerbed is Navae Alusfaen, the military leader of Amikeko. She welcomes her princess and the Vigilants to her garden, and asks if the are ready for their audience.

Empty
"If I saved someone… then why do I feel.. So empty?"

- Clover to Four after killing a Scavenger

Clover listens as Navae explains that she and the Noble Team are part of the biggest bid for power in Amikeko's history. Navae explained that she had had scout investigating The Scorned Vigilants, but all of them had been eliminated until finally, an integrity mage wrote an undelivered letter explaining everything. She tells them that the "higher-ups" of the Vigilants is House Duir. Clover shows no reaction to the name, and Navae explains that they were Clover original parents; Clover stammers in disbelief that her parents were the ones who wanted her dead. Navae agrees, and asks that the Vigilants put a stop to them. She leads them to the door and warns them about The Prisoner, saying that he is unlike any other warrior she has ever seen; she also tells Clover that she will come to get her when the time is right. Three opens the door, to find Four sitting against a wall. Two and Three reunite with Four, and Four explains that the arnicite Three and Broath gave him healed him, along with an "old friend". He asks Clover to heal him, and after she does she collapses into him sobbing. The have a touching moment before they all set out to get back to the Noble hideout in Ralo.

As they are close to their destination, Clover and the Vigilants are confronted by a group of Scavenger. The Nobles quickly turn the tide of battle, and with no other choice, a Scavenger destroys a piece of Bravery arnicite, apologizing to Clover as she does so. The magic crystal explodes, and everyone is blown away, and Three shields Clover. Three collapses to the ground, gravely injured. Four rushes to help, but notices the cave is about to collapse. They all try to run, and Clover traps a Scavenger who is about to attack Four with a shell. They escape just before the cave collapses, killing the Scavenger. Four checks on Clover, who says she didn't want to lose anyone else and asks Four is she saved him. He tells her she did and hugs her, but she doesn't return it. She says she saved a life by taking one, referring to the Scavenger, and asks why she feels so empty. Four tells her that that is how he feels all the time and that is what the Traitless are called; it is how they survive. Clover embraces him crying, saying she doesn't like feeling empty.

The Noble Team
{{ Clover and the Noble Team arrives in their Ralo hideout. They rest before Three goes to the armory and Four goes to get something. Two apologizes to Clover about what he said in the sewers, and explains that that empty feeling is how he felt for a long time. Clover asks how he stopped, and he explains that it was Four who made him want to live again, and showed him that they could choose who they wanted to be. Clover ponders the last part of Two's statement, and asks who she wants to be. Two tells her that she will ask herself that a lot, and to him, it's just someone that she must be proud of, even if she must do "not-so-prideful" things. Four returns with dynamite and explains what it is to Two and Clover. Three returns with weapons and the Vigilants prepare to leave. Four tells Clover they will be gone for the day and to lock the door and not open it for anyone. She asks them why they are doing all this for her, and Three says it's because she will be deciding the future one day and that she will make the world a better place, especially after everything they have been through together. This answer satisfies Clover, and the young princess sees off her new friends.
