"'All my life I've been told I have a purpose...but for the first time, I feel like I can choose what that purpose is. And I choose to help you, Queen Kenna. I choose to stay here and protect my new friends.'""—Clover reveals her undying loyalty to Kenna."Clover Hapley, a character in "The Crown & The Flame" series, is Azura's handmaiden. She is first seen in Book 3, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Clover has red hair, grey eyes and fair skin sprinkled with freckles. She wears a pink and silver gown paired with silver earrings and necklace.

Personality
Clover is a very humble and obsequious woman, always wanting to be of help to whoever she bows to. She is optimistic and cheerful, viewing her fate of offering her soul to Azura as a very honorable use of her life, as well as ignoring Zenobia's insults as she serves the latter during Kenna's dinner with the Nevrakis, and instead throws her off by complimenting her hair. She uses polite and very respectful language to anyone she speaks to or about anyone she mentions.

Clover is also helpful, volunteering to assist in any way she can, such as when she served wine during Kenna's dinner due to a shortage of staff, and offered to help Annelyse with the infirmary during Stormholt's confrontation with Ducitora. After her defection to Kenna, Clover displayed genuine disgust of Azura, realizing that the empress cared only for herself, and was adamant in staying at Stormholt despite the danger.

Empress Azura
Clover is a handmaiden to Azura. She is servile to the point of being blind to her tyranny until she joins Kenna. However, should she join Kenna, Clover will start to see how psychotic Azura is and was.
