Personality
*Direct and confident
As it says, Clyde always speak his mind in a direct way. He thinks it's a waste of time being too wishy washy and stuff. And he'll say it with confident tone. People may think he's rude^^;
*Focused
As Clyde is engrossed by farming and agriculture, he spent most of his time thinking new ideas for their developments. He may ignore anything besides in when he's deep in thought. And as he always focused on those things, he often forgot people's and place's name. that explains his default opening sentence, yes? 
*Impulsive
Clyde acts mostly on impulse alone. When there's new idea of farming crosses his mind, he'll dash to the farm right away. When there's kid crying for his/her loose balloon stuck in a tree, he'll help the kid take it back. When both happens in the same time... he'll take the kid and the balloon to the farm, and then ask why the kid is there afterwards...^^;
*Energetic and cheerful
Has enough energy to do farm works and do grocery works. Well every farm hands do right?^^ add a smile to booth for a real knocker!/punched
 *Idiot
He may look wonderful on farm works, but the rest... he sucks at it. The topic he knows is only about farming, he can't cook, he's not organized, he can't do simple math, and he can barely read^^;

History
Abandoned since birth, Clyde grew up at Ruthford Orphanage. It's a small orphanage located on the outskirt of a city. Being an energetic boy as he always is, he often cause mischief on the neighborhood, such as bullying kids who look down on him because he's an orphan. The only day he would behaved like a good child was only when some certain farmer arrived. The farmer, known of his generosity, always visits the orphanage to send some of his crops for the kids. He was like a father figure to Clyde. 

When he reached 12, Clyde is finally old enough to understand what it means to being an "orphan". an "abandoned child". This put him to questions: 

"Then why am I here?" "Don't they need me?" "Am I really not needed?" "What is my life supposed to mean then?"

The boys asked... and asked... but no one had given him a satisfying answers. Until then...

"Life is like crops. They were born as tiny little seeds. But give them a good place to grow, raise them with diligence and care, and they'll bring smiles to anybody, regardless of whatever shape they look like"

It was the farmer. The farmer he always looks up to. His father figure. He said that with a smile on his face and an apple on his right hand. He then gave the apple to Clyde. 

"It's the same as us... we were born the same, no matter what background we have... a human. And for whatever weakness we have, if we work on it diligently and our hearts stay strong, eventually our efforts will bring forth happiness to everybody"

Afterwards, the farmer often invited Clyde to his farm. He taught him how to do field works and how to raise crops. When it's already time to harvest it, he ordered Clyde to give it to the city folk in his neighborhood. At first he was hesitant but after a bit of a push he did it. 
The city folks was surprised at first, but turned our satisfied for the crops after. The crops Clyde grew was tasty and he was praised for it. It was the first time in his life as he is usually shunned and looked down upon as an orphan. This event also motivate other orphans to do something better than just moping on their fate.

Ever since then, Clyde's interest in farming escalated, and he continued nurturing it until the present day. This also gave him back his cheerful personality. 

One day, The farmer gave Clyde a ticket to Toffee Town. When Clyde asked why he's giving this the farmer answered softly. 

"Remember what I said long time ago? That life is like a crops? I believe this is a good place for you to grow. I'm not telling I don't need you, but soon my field won't be enough for you anymore... You're still young... and this opportunity is a chance for you to grow better and stand up on your own"

After a few thinking, Clyde decided to go. To become a better self, to become someone who can bring smile to anybody through farming, the man packed his belongings. He promised everyone that he will send some of his crops over there when he harvest bunch... and off he go.

............but where's the train station by the way? As he get lost in the middle of city........
