Clay Bailey is the Xiaolin Dragon of the Earth. He fights evil to collect the magical Shen Gong Wu with the other Xiaolin warriors. His Wudai Weapon is the Big Bang Meteorang and his Wudai power is Wudai Crater. He is able to use his elemental powers with the Fist of Tebigong and the Third Arm Sash.
He is the tallest and the biggest of the monks. He has a stocky build, sandy blond hair, light teal-green eyes, a round nose, a few light freckles under his eyes, big hands and huge arms. He is never seen without his cowboy hat, even when wearing his Xiaolin robes. He has a heavy Texan accent when he speaks. He also wears a dark blue polo shirt tucked in with his dark blue jeans and black cowboy boots. He wears elbow length brown leather gloves on his hands and a dark red handerchief around his neck. A brown belt with a big bull buckle is around his waist keeping his pants up.
Personality[]
He is a very mellow and patient, and does not get ruffled easily. There are few things that will make him angry, some being taking or messing with his hat, or harming his friends; but the major being Kimiko being either bullied, harrassed, or hurt. He is also very honorable, trustworthy and chivalrous, and is somewhat old-fashioned in his ways. He uses Tai Chi, referred to as Old Man Kung Fu by Raimundo. In his very first Xiaolin Showdown, Raimundo, and Omi did not have any faith in Clay winning against their nemesis, Jack Spicer, because of his patient manner and characteristics of his element; Kimiko was the only one that put her faith into him. But he had proved the other male Monks wrong by using sunflower seeds in order to attract the bird in the showdown instead of aggressively attacking and harming the bird. He, naturally, is also the strongest of the Dragons in training. He can often think of creative solutions to problems, and his patience is valuable to the other Monks. He always has a way to find the light of every bad situation. He took on the big brother role of the team, especially to Kimiko, and is always protecting and caring for the other Monks. He is also a very big eater, his first loyalty being to any food he laid his eyes on, particularly pork chops and Kimiko's cooking.
Background[]
He was from Texas
as a cowboy and worked on a ranch, being raised by his parents along side his sister, Jesse. He later traveled back for the Star Hanabi. He had not initially known that the Star Hanabi was his father's lone star. After Dojo had told them that it was the Star Hanabi, he needed to get it from him but he couldn't go back with his friends to the temple or with the Star Hanabi until he had proven he was a man. He later visited Texas again, but this time his younger sister Jesse Bailey, who was the leader of the Black Vipers, an all-girl biker gang, had attacked him. He called his own baby sister a varmint and held a sibling rivalry but he still would not fight her because he didn't think fighting her was right. After his sister had sent him to the deep crust of the earth, he had felt guilty for not fighting her, and because of him they would probably die in that hole with the air thinning. They were then were busted out by Jesse, but only to be fooled again by her to get their Shen Gong Wu or Shen Gong Warts as she calls them, he had no choice but to fight his sister and win. But when Jesse fell off her bike, his brotherly nature kicked in, even for Jesse and used his rope to save her, but he was fooled once again and Jesse won. But at the end of the day she didn't feel right about cheating and hurting him so she gave back the Shen Gong Wu except the Wings of Tinabi. When he was five years old his mother had distracted a raging bull that had gotten into the ranch and had cornered both him and Jesse. Not even Jesse's power over animals could talk the bull into letting them go; his mother had come and gave them enough time to escape to get their father. When they had gotten back, it was too late, the bull had jabbed his mother with its sharp horns multiple times and bucked her into the air effectively killing her. Their dad proceeded to shoot the bull in the head seconds later.

They rarely have altercations and seem to respect and understand each other. Later on, she had found his allegories/allusions extremely funny; since she does not have to pretend anymore. He is the only one of the Dragons that she actually talks to using telepathy; they both regard each other as siblings and are extremely close. He is very protective over her and is not overbearing.
Raimundo and Clay appear to be good friends. However, the two often taunt each other or makes jokes about the situation the other is in with Raimundo doing the former while Clay does the latter, though this was all in good faith.
Clay looked after Omi, and is very nice to him. The two have saved each others lives on several occasions. However, Omi did not have the same level of respect towards Clay, often whining towards or about him. Because of this, Clay saw Omi as a little brother-type figure.
Dojo[]
Clay and Dojo share a close bond, as Dojo regularly resided in Clay's hat or on his shoulder. Clay is shown to be protective of Dojo, who responds by having strong faith in Clay more so than the other monks besides Kimiko and regularly refers to him as my man.
Jesse Bailey[]
Clay is Jesse's older brother. The two seemed to be very close as children. Eventually, she became jealous because her parents had chosen Clay to become a Xiaolin Dragon. The two had later patched up their differences and strengthened their relationship by the end of their last encounter.
