Clay

Appearance

Clay is a troll with pale blue skin and very messy lime green hair that sticks up in random directions. He's very tall and slender, and has pointy ears that reach upwards, though he can also control their movement somewhat. He wears a green sweater one-suit. He tends to gesture with his arms a lot in a casual way

Personality

Clay was the prankster of the band, being the one who loved to have fun the most. Despite his reputation, he actually wanted to be taken serious and grew tired of being viewed as "the fun one". He even joined a book club before BroZone split. Even in the past, Clay was much more serious than his image portrayed him as and was forward and cynical of John Dory's leadership. Why he may have been considered "the fun one", he was not the fun one by the end of BroZone. Once away from the band, he finally is allowed to be the Troll he wanted, and has become much more serious. He spends his days help Viva run the Hole N' Fun, adhering to being a responsible manager of the other Putt Putt Trolls. However, when not being forced, he is still able to pull off jokes without himself realizing. He tries to force himself into this serious persona in fear of being precieved differently than he wants to, but he truly does have a fun side he tends to hide away, but it comes out around those he's closest to. He speaks in a casual manner, often being sarcastic or passive aggressive. He's afraid of communicating sometimes, preferring to keep quiet on things so as not to agitate those he cares about or send them into a panic, trying to play casual when confronted, though if it gets serious he'll be honest and open up

Relations

Clay has 4 brothers [John Dory, Bruce, Branch, Floyd], and was previously in a band with them called "Brozone" that broke up then rebanded. He's best friends with Viva, managing the golf course with her and being her right-hand-man Clay has a complicated relationship with both his older and younger brothers. While he has a good relationship with Spruce and his younger brothers Floyd and Branch, he had issues with John Dory. His voice of disapproval of his eldest brother's obsessions and bossiness was a sentiment shared by Spruce and when the two voiced their disapproval to him, it caused BroZone to break up as the 3 rage quit the band. In the process, their selfishness left their youngest brothers exposed to danger. As an adult, Clay is glad to see Bruce again, but failed to truly acknowledge that Branch has grown up. Although willing to help them rescue Floyd, Clay still refuses to tolerate with John Dory and accuses him of still being the same as before. This time, however, when the 3 eldest brothers argue they make the mistake of trying to silence Branch, forgetting his now a young adult and Branch points out how all three are as bad as each other. Branch puts his foot down and voices his feelings about their bickering and how they (Clay and Spruce) may have been mad at John Dory but Branch gets the same treatment from them that they complain about from John Dory. Branch speaking up shocks all 3 into a silence, despite this the 3 don't take the opportunity to reconcile their feelings and are still arguing when they are seen captured by Velvet and Veneer. All 5 brothers make up after nearly losing Floyd forever, and are seen on friendly terms at the end of the movie, with Clay apologizing to Branch for not having been around to see him grow up, but also invites him to join Clay's book club

Other

Clay has the usual troll abilities, such as singing and dancing, as he's in a band called "Brozone" with his brothers. He's also an avid reader, having been in a sad book club since his youth, and enjoying sad literature and crying at stories. He's a fan of golf. He used to be seen as the prankster of the band, though he dislikes being viewed that way.
