Four Leaf Clover | Wild Kratts

Prologue - Sprouts

Note #1: I'm binging Wild Kratts as I write this story. Surprisingly, I didn't like this show growing up because I thought the characters frowned a lot? Weird reason. And now, I love this show. It's so good. Younger me was missing out.

Ever since she was a young child, Clover always had a fascination with nature, specifically plants. From admiring the trees in the park to the smallest dandelions she would see growing on the sidewalk, she loved every part of nature, soon making it her goal to have a job when she grows up involving said passion.

Being the eldest of the Hallows siblings, Iris was always on the lookout to protect Clover and Iris. She considered herself a second mom to them. Though she tends to push herself over the edge quite often than she and her family likes, but she always insists it's the only way to keep this family afloat. She never explained why.

Aster is always that one chill guy you can rely on. He's at random places at random times, but he always makes good use of his time. Just like Clover, he developed a great interest in nature inspired by his second oldest sister. But there was one more interest that eventually overshadowed his inspired curiosity, basketball. He loved watching games with his dad, going to the park to throw some hoops with new friends he would make along the way, something about being active and cooperative made him feel uplifted. From then on, his main goal was to become a famous basketball player.

As the siblings grew up with their goals and passions in mind, navigating through their own lives, their parents, Lilian and Samuel, did the very best they could to nurture each and every one of their interests. One by one, they left off for college. Iris, of course, was the first to graduate. With a degree in business to start her own company as well as maintaining the family business, she was very headstrong and always had very particular views on certain aspects of society. Either way, she was well on her way to reaching the top no matter what. By diving into the world of business, she unlocked an entirely new perspective of life.

With the middle Hallows sibling graduating from college and the youngest starting his sophomore year, it was finally time for Clover to leave the nest. With the money she saved from her multiple jobs over the years, she bought her dream travel RV. She wanted to go where the plants are: almost everywhere!

She named her newly acquired vehicle, the Dandelion Driver. With some adjustments to the interior and exterior to make it more her style, she packed all of her belongings, hopped in, said goodbye to her family, and drove off to her next venture. She knew this chapter of her life would be temporary since she's considering this chapter of her life to be more of a portfolio-building route.

She travels to all sorts of forests, gardens, and parks to record her findings in her trusty journal. Now, you may be thinking, 'if all of these flowers are discovered, why is she still researching them?' Her answer, "I want to learn about plants the old fashioned way: getting out there and explore on my own! Rather than looking it up online, I want to have another way of accessing information. What if the internet goes down or cars stop working? You can't look up anything and it might be difficult for some to go to the library if it's not a decent walking distance range. Writing things down is the most effective way to look back on anything anytime! At least for me."

It was something about her positive attitude and critical thinking that made her very reliable. Anyone who got on her bad side would immediately regret it. Not because she knows how to retaliate, but even though they're in different places, she's got a family by her side. That's enough to make you rethink some choices in your life.

With her RV fueled, her journal at hand, multiple pencils sharpened, even more pencil sharpeners laying about, and a calm mindset, she's nervous, but ready.

And so, a new chapter of her life begins.
