Eileen Clarke-Moone

Name: Eileen Clarke-Moone
Position: French/Literature teacher
Gender: Female
Age: 58

Appearance: Mrs. Clarke-Moone is a gaunt-faced and pale, wrinkled woman of French descent who looks a good decade older than she really is, with grey eyes sunk deep into her head and tightly pursed lips. With her 105 pounds set on a 5'9" frame, she manages to look both incredibly frail and fierce at the same time. Her curly hair is always kept tidy and trimmed, and a great deal of work goes into keeping it coal-black. She dresses in a distinctly formal manner, and it would be considered highly unusual to catch her wearing anything other than seasonally-appropriate dresses and low heels, or without a book in her hand.

Biography/Personality: Mrs. Clarke-Moone and her family are based primarily around Georgia, South Carolina and her home state of Louisiana. In her younger days she studied abroad, and took up a short-lived modeling career in Paris before moving back home to the states for good. She held several secretarial jobs and took up typewriter repair and collecting as hobbies, having no interest in education until her early forties. A move to Chattanooga with her husband to whom she recently wed prompted a change in career, as she was seeking a fresh start. She found substituting to her liking and pursued a credential, and has taught at George Hunter High for nearly two decades. She boasts native fluency in both English and French as well as conversational Italian and German, and has a steady typing speed of 110 WPM.

Mrs. Clarke-Moone is infamous among students for being something of a 'hard-ass' in her classroom: hats and cell phones are confiscated on first offenses until the end of the day, detentions are handed out for missing homework assignments, and in French class, speaking in English is almost entirely forbidden. Out of class, however, she enjoys showing a more relaxed and playful side to students and staff alike, and is even tolerant of profanity in her classroom... provided, of course, it is said in French. To students who have the patience to get to know her, Mrs. Clarke-Moone can become a doting, counseling figure more than willing to offer a letter of recommendation to universities of choice.
