Dr. Clive holds the role of school doctor in a jungle village, exuding apathy toward most except women. His pale skin, black eyes, and glasses contrast his hair—initially bleached white, then dyed black to escape Dama, a hairdresser fixated on white-haired men. He dresses in a white lab coat and black shirt.

Hare’s biological father, he arrived from the city and fathered Hare during a brief relationship with Weda in her adolescence. Their shared ties fray into volatile clashes, often fueled by rivalry for Weda’s favor. His relentless attempts to revive their romance repeatedly falter until he eventually marries her, a shift Hare grudgingly tolerates.

His persona merges perverse inclinations with fleeting paternal warmth. Though largely detached from patients, he harbors sincere affection for Marie, donning her handmade garments and lauding her cooking. When Weda becomes pregnant, he solidifies his place in the jungle, evolving from transient outsider to a contentious yet enduring presence in Hare’s life.

Media portrayals uniformly emphasize his turbulent bond with Hare, relentless pursuit of Weda, and incremental acceptance into the jungle community, without expanding on his history beyond these threads.
