overall as a character I love Clara and I think Emmie and her really shine in the “fetish content” department but I decided to clarify what I mean with my view of her association with weight gain in 3 parts:
Lore: completely understand her needing to be thin and struggling with it, and it is a great thing to see her try to maintain herself while being constantly bombarded with sweets that ruin her willpower
Story: her suffering this problem is only ever seen like 3 times, and the most stark depictions of this that stick out (ironically both on boats) is her getting off the cruise ship, and then again when she is on the sloop doing exercises while being gawked at, with most other “fat based” interactions being a character’s side comment
mechanics: I’d like to assume since I am hitting the point where everything is being closed off with a “will be in a future patch” I am getting close to finishing all available content, and her being fat does not seem to be anything more then cosmetic and provides no gameplay/environmental change unless I missed something somewhere
