Unfortunately, Jonathan Crane’s unnamed half-sister from Scarecrow: Year One has a stranglehold on my psyche and she refuses to let go, so she gets to be major character in my own personal Headverse.

Jonathan didn’t account for the eight-year old girl to try to hit with a hammer after she found her parents dead on Mother’s Day. He also didn’t account for the impulsive decision to steal said child instead of killing her like he had planned out.

Clarice Keeny is basically what Gerard Way was singing about in Teenagers. She will scare the livin' shit out of you and she could care less as long as someone'll bleed.

Aged up by a few years compared to the original baby version, so she’s roughly the same age as Tim Drake

Her childhood with Jon is complicated, to say the least. It’s better than dealing with her abusive father, but it’s not great considering her older brother is a literal serial killer/mad scientist.

She hit Dick Grayson in the head with a rock one time

Gets put into foster care at age twelve after accidentally getting dosed with fear toxin when Batman finally catches them at their hideout and then stabbing Jonathan in the stomach.

Preteen Clarice is kind of a fucked up kid, actually! Gotham foster care is awful and broken, and it fucked her up even more than Jonathan did, because at least he never hit her.

Gets to experience the shared trauma with Jonathan of being viciously bullied in school, because kids are kind of shitty towards traumatized neurodivergent people and Gotham City is also a hellhole.

Unfortunately, her mental health is also shitty because she starts lurking on 4chan and reddit and probably saw some real fucked up shit

Bitter one-sided rivalry with Tim Drake and she sometimes stays awake at night fuming over the very thought of his name. He’s literally never done anything to her, she just hates being his lab partner.

She develops Scream Queen as her vigilante persona because teenage girls will literally risk their lives because they want to let out their aggression out on criminals instead of going to therapy

Intense hyperfixation on horror media as a coping mechanism and she has a secret youtube channel for her own homemade analog horror series.

Her relationship with Jonathan is never going to be healthy considering the circumstances of her adoption and they don’t exactly have a brother-sister relationship. Clarice doesn't know exactly if she views him as a older brother, an uncle, or as a father figure. Meanwhile, Jonathan absolutely views her as his daughter.
