HONEST

⇢ Clay doesn't necessarily have some huge moral hangup about lying. It's more like, he can't be bothered to do it nine times out of ten. He'd much rather just shoot straight with people than have to explain himself if he gets caught. Sometimes, he's a little too honest, and his mouth gets him in trouble. Mainly in bars, after he's had too much to drink. Luckily for him, he can hold his own better than he can hold his tongue.

SHREWD

⇢ Contrary to what one might think, Clay isn't stupid. He's actually pretty sharp, picking things up fairly easily when they're explained to him. People tend to assume he's a dumb hick, and he's more than happy to humiliate them by proving them wrong. He's not a genius, of course, but to him, most things are pretty simple, once you take the time to pay attention. He's got a fine eye for detail, and is quick when processing information. He might act like an idiot when it suits him, but it's mostly an act.

INVENTIVE

⇢ Clay grew up in a small country town, with a small country family, who didn't have a lot of money. That is to say, sometimes things broke, and they had to get creative with how to fix them, because the nearest store carrying the supplies was an hours drive away, and gas costs money. So do supplies. When his dad was around it wasn't a big deal, but he wasn't around much. Clay's grandfather taught him all sorts of creative solutions to problems, and that something wasn't broke until it was too broke for duct tape to fix it. As such, he tends to default to cheap, unorthodox solutions to his problems rather than going the traditional route.

STUBBORN

⇢ If a man has nothing else, he should have his pride. Or, that's what his grandfather always said. Clay took it seriously, and unfortunately clings to his pride like nothing else. He's pretty set in his ways, which isn't so bad most of the time, but when he's about to do something stupid (which is often) on a dare or 'just 'cause', it can be difficult to talk him out of it. Likewise, he needs to be talked into borrowing money or accepting help, has to be convinced to buy something new instead of fixing what's broken for the thousandth time, and usually conned into doing anything he doesn't want to do.

PLAYFUL

⇢ Clay grew up an only child, but his mama and grandparents never hesitated to make sure he was having a happy childhood. Generally speaking, they overcompensated for his dad walking out, trying to make sure he never felt like he was lacking. As a result, Clay grew up a little spoiled, and a lot reckless. He was generally allowed to do whatever he liked, as long as it wasn't too dangerous. Unfortunately, once he was in school, 'too dangerous' got difficult to define, and he did whatever he wanted when he was away from home. He likes to spend time rough-housing with friends, pulling stupid stunts, and generally having a good time, no matter what consequences he might face the next day. He's also very affectionate with his closest loved ones, teasing them and cracking jokes to make them smile.

AMIABLE

⇢ Generally speaking, Clay likes everyone until they give him a reason not to. He's quick with a smile, likes to make small talk, and is a fairly easy-going fellow most of the time. He wants people to feel comfortable and happy as often as possible, so if he can find a way to do that for them while they're in his presence, he will. Unless you have a viewpoint that greatly differs from his own, on a subject that's very important to him, he's quite easy to get along with. His mother says he's never met a stranger in his life; Clay says they just don't stay strangers for long.

CHILDHOOD

⇢ Annalise Walker was part of a rather large family, not that you would've known it. Her father had a penchant for proposing too soon, and didn't care much to fight to save his marriages. She had a younger half-sister, Mary, who was one of the few siblings she was ever close to. The pair had a falling out, unfortunately, but not before Mary introduced Annalise to Emmerich Troy, a friend of her husband's. Annalise and Emmerich hit it off and began a relationship, but Emmerich traveled a lot for work. When she came up pregnant, he vanished off the face of the Earth.

⇢ Annalise tried her best with her son Clay, but they struggled a lot. Eventually she moved to her stepfather's farm, figuring having some help with the boy, as well as a stable roof over their heads without threat of eviction, was the best decision. She penned an angry letter to Clay's father when the boy was three, railing at him for abandoning them. She regretted sending it, until the checks started coming. She didn't like using the money on principle, but reasoned that if she could've gotten the b*****d to court, that's what she would've gotten anyway.

⇢ Clay didn't meet his father until he was six; his mother had written a letter to Emmerich, detailing some strange goings-on at Clay's school, all seemingly centered around his son. She'd written him now and again over the years, supposing if the man was going to give them money he may as well hear about the boy, since he must care at least a little. The family was floored when Emmerich showed up; at first, Clay's grandfather refused to let him see the boy, but Emmerich convinced Annalise and her mother that it was important that he talk to his son. Annalise sat with Clay as his father questioned him about the odd occurrences. He determined that, like him, his son was a wizard. He filled Annalise in on the magical world, and promised to handle Clay's schooling. After that point, he was a much more active part of his son's life, though his actual presence was still minimal.


SCHOOL YEARS

⇢ Clay, for his part, didn't find magical school any more interesting than muggle school. He made decent grades, courtesy of being smart by default, but generally didn't ever find anything particularly interesting about magic itself. When asked what he wanted to do for a living, he usually shrugged and said something about working on his grandfather's farm, or being an auto-mechanic. He didn't discover anything that really held any interest for him until he was thirteen, and his grandmother started teaching him her old family recipes over the Summer. Cooking, he found, was exciting and relaxing all at once, and allowed him to stretch his creative muscles in a way that he'd never considered. It wasn't long before he was experimenting in the kitchen, reading everything he could about food from other cultures and new and interesting ways to combine flavors.

⇢ Of course, he likes to say nothing interesting happened to him, his whole life, until he was fourteen. That year at school, he was at a Quodpot match, Coyote v. Chameleon, cheering on his buddy Jose, when he noticed a rather pretty older girl cheering on the Chameleon team. Being somewhat bored, seeing as he was only there to cheer Jose on and not out of any real interest in the sport, Clay made it a personal game to try and cheer louder than the (rather enthusiastic) girl. Apparently, she caught on, because each time he got louder, so did she. By the end of the game, he could barely talk, but that didn't stop him from asking her on a date, 'to discuss the game.' To his surprise (she was two years older than him, after all), she said yes. Even more surprising was when she approached him not long after to ask him on a second date. He didn't quite get why, since she'd said no when he'd suggested it, but wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. They continued seeing each other for a while, and eventually he found out that she had a habit of making dares with her best friend. Among those dares was her going on dates with him. By that point, though, she was genuinely enjoying his company and seeing him by her own choice, so he decided to be smug that he'd gotten a sixteen year old to like him as opposed to offended that she'd been basically playing with him.


POST-GRADUATION

⇢ Clay graduated from school with little of note, aside from his continued relationship with Denise, which had prevailed despite numerous bets against them (which he happily collected money on). He worked his grandfather's farm for a bit, then eventually figured that if he wanted to be able to afford a wedding ring, he should get an actual job. He started out working the kitchen of his home town's only diner, eventually building up enough experience to get the chance to impress some people at some job interviews until he got hired on at a couple fairly successful restaurants. It took some time, but he managed to save up enough (and build up enough of a reputation) that he was able to get a ring and a job near Denise's home. He didn't even tell her he was coming, just showed up at her place, rang the doorbell, and was on one knee when she answered the door. Of course, he had to introduce himself to her father and convince the man he wasn't a complete jerk, but eventually he got the blessing and they got married.

⇢ Things were going pretty well for the pair, nothing exciting, but that was fine by Clay. Unfortunately, the universe seemingly heard him saying as much, and decided to shake things up in the worst of ways. They got news that Denise's sister and her husband had been in a horrible car accident. Neither had survived, leaving the couple's two boys orphaned. Clay didn't even have to be convinced of what to do, the second his wife suggested adopting the boys, he was all for it, even if it meant moving to the UK, of all places. Better to uproot himself and his wife than two kids who'd just lost their parents, he figured. The got some money together, and managed to purchase The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade village. The top floor of the Inn was converted into a decent-sized apartment, and the inn and bar were open for business.
