IT'S CLARA FOR REAL!
I'll make sheets for Ratticus and Dr. Zo that are three-part like this eventually! It'll just take a bit on them because of other stuff I have planned. For now, here's all about Clara!!
Appearance
Clara keeps her whiskers short, as otherwise they tickle her more when she wears a mask for work. Short whiskers are also considered a more masculine look, which she enjoys. She inherited her dumbo ears from their father's side of the family, as well as her hands, which could be described more as working hands, not as elegant or dainty. She keeps her nails short. She has a nick near the end of her tail from a mistake with her buzzing tools. She does her own pattern edges where she can reach, and likes to change them up sometimes. She has her hair undercut, but wears it down to hide it when she visits home.
Functionally in the eventual Dating Sim, while she will be available to date, I want her to also be who you can book with to get unique patterns outside of what'll be available in the starting menu/character selection screen!
Work
She is a tattoo artist and fur-pattern designer, and wants to move to the city and run her own tattoo and design shop. Currently, she's having a tough time with her boss, who doesn't want to lose her as she brings in a lot of business. Her usual tattoo customers are sphynx rats. But sometimes she gets short-hair rats, or rats that keep their all-over fur buzzed short for aesthetic, for summertime, or for work. Tattoos typically show up on them as well. She'll also do tattoos on tails, however few rats can sit through these as they are quite painful.
Less lucratively but more often, she gets rats who want their pattern edges done or want to have patterns dyed onto their natural fur. Hypoallergenic dyes, low-odor bleach, and revitalizing scented lather are expected. A rat changing full color completely isn't unheard of, just expensive, and more expensive going from a darker color to lighter. Like going to the salon to dye your hair from black to platinum. Sometimes on older rats whos brighter color has begun to fade, she is able to do restorative color to keep them looking young. Grannies love her.
Siblings
Clara has a good relationship with Dr. Zo, they spend time together at least once a month and travel to and from family visits together. Her relationship with Todd is awful; she greatly dislikes him and doesn't do much to hide it. He antagonizes her frequently, mostly because he more often than not gets a rise out of her. Dr. Zo always has her back when it comes to him, and Clara has always appreciated it immensely.
Parents
Clara doesn't talk to her father much, but they're on good terms. He checks in with her through phonecalls. Being the only daughter in the family, her mom has always been harder on her than her brothers. Clara has building resentment about this.
They also have a tense relationship around her mother's alcohol use. Most of the family tries to keep liquor from coming into the house because their mom goes overboard, but she buys her own which they can't stop her from doing, and Clara always brings her some because it's the only thing mom shows appreciation for her doing. Outside of that,
I think that's all for now!
