'''Clotho''' is a [[demon]] in the series.

==History==
Clotho is the youngest of the three [[Moirae Sisters]], and is derived from the Greek personification of fate. Clotho spins the thread of life. Clotho was responsible for spinning the thread of human life. She also made major decisions, such as when a person was born, thus in effect controlling people's lives. This power enabled her not only to choose who was born, but also to decide when gods or mortals were to be saved or put to death.

Clotho and her sisters ([[Atropos]] and [[Lachesis]]) were the daughters of [[Erebus]] and [[Nyx]], though later they are said to have been born of [[Zeus]] and Themis. Clotho is also mentioned in the tenth book of the Republic of Plato as the daughter of Necessity. Her Roman equivalent is Nona.

As one of the three fates her impact on Greek mythology was significant. Clotho, along with her sisters and [[Hermes]], was given credit for creating the alphabet for their people, forced the goddess [[Venus (demon)|Aphrodite]] into making love with other beings, weakened the monster [[Typhon]] with poison fruit, persuaded Zeus to kill Asclepius with lightning, and even aided the gods in their war with the [[Giant]]s by killing Agrius and Thoas with bronze clubs. Even though Clotho and her sisters were worshiped as goddesses, their representation of fate is more central to their role in mythology. 

Clotho also possess her life-giving powers in the myth of Tantalus, as shown when she brought Pelops, Tantalus' son, back to life, with the exception of his eaten shoulder, which was replaced by a chunk of ivory.

== Design ==
[[File:Clotho (Dx2 Art).png|thumb|180x180px]]

=== ''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne'' ===
[[Kazuma Kaneko|Kaneko]]'s design for Clotho and the other [[Moirae Sisters]] draws inspiration from the works of British fashion designer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Berardi Antonio Berardi], who in turn was inspired by French hair stylist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Jurnjack Nicholas Jurnjack]. The relevant work of Berardi can be seen [https://nicolasjurnjack.com/interviews/2017/6/24/antonio-berardi-sex-sensibility-by-tasmin-blanchard here].

==Profile==
===''Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE''===
Clotho acts as one of the three bosses of [[Nakano]]'s silver-level Stone Site instance. By obtaining the Red Thread of Fate from the endchest, players are able to obtain her plug-in by speaking with the Suspicious Looking Man? NPC. She is a special double-fusion of [[Lamia]] and [[Aello]]. 

===''Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey''===
{{Q|One of the three Moirae Sisters in Greek lore.<br/>She spins the threads of fate.|''Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey'' compendium}}

===''Shin Megami Tensei IV''===
Clotho can be found in [[Ichigaya|Camp Ichigaya]]. She can teach [[Flynn]] the [[Mediarama]], [[Recarm]] and [[Lullaby]] skills through her [[Whisper event|Demon Whisper]].

===''Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse''===
Clotho can be encountered inside of the [[Tennozu Shelter]], along with her sisters, [[Lachesis]] and [[Atropos]]. Clotho and Atropos can perform a combo of sorts during their attack turns. Should Clotho successfully put a party member to sleep with her Lullaby skill, Atropos can instantly kill afflicted members with her Eternal Rest skill.

Clotho can teach the Lullaby, [[Diarama]], [[Recarm]] and [[Diarahan]] skills through her Demon Whisper. She benefits from learning healing, [[Fire Skills|Fire]] and ailment skills.

===''Persona 5''===
{{Q|The youngest of the three Moirae Sisters of Greek legend. She spins the threads of life with her spindle.|''Persona 5'' background}}
Clotho is the second [[Persona (concept)|Persona]] of the [[Fortune Arcana]] and can only be obtained through [[fusion]] in the [[Velvet Room]]. She is the first Persona to learn the [[Mahama]], [[Tetraja]] and [[Energy Shower]] skills, second of four Personas to learn [[Me Patra]], and the second of two Personas to learn [[Invigorate 1]]. When itemized through [[Mystic Change|Electric Chair execution]], Clotho yields an Invigorate 1 [[Skill Card]].

Due to her being one of the Personas to learn the Tetraja skill, she can be used to further the [[Strength Arcana|Strength]] [[Confidant]] with [[Caroline and Justine]]. After leveling up Clotho to level 27 so that she learns the Tetraja skill, fusing her with [[Regent (Treasure Demon)|Regent]] results in the requested [[Lachesis]] with Tetraja required for Rank 7 of the Confidant.

====''Royal''====
Clotho had her level increased from 26 to 27. When itemized through Electric Chair execution, Clotho will now yield a Tetraja Skill Card. During a [[fusion alarm]], Clotho will yield a [[Makarakarn]] Skill Card instead.

===''DemiKids Light & Dark''===
{{Q|One of three sisters of fate who weaves the threads of destiny that govern life.|[[Demonary]], ''[[DemiKids]]''}}
Clotho has the power Alert.

==Trivia==
Clotho's dialogue before the Demi-fiend fights her for the first time is expanded from the original ''Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne'' in the HD remaster, in which she suggests to make the Demi-Fiend a lover of the Moirae sisters. In the Japanese version, this new dialogue is even more suggestive that she implies to keep the Demi-fiend like a lover-pet for the sisters {{J|我ら姉妹の情夫として飼っておいてやろう}}.
