Hanging out with a plant buddy. I don't know anything about real flowers and she works with magical-fictional flowers anyway, so. Enjoy a Random Pink Flower. (:"
Name:: Marah
Gender:: Female

Plants are both Marah’s livelihood and her passion. From a young age, she’s been enamored with them, always picking bunches of flowers to press and put in vases, and attempting to grow things from any seeds she could get ahold of.

As she grew and began her schooling, Marah began actually studying plants, learning the workings of both the normal and magical flora of her world. She even spent a couple years abroad, collecting hundreds of plant specimens- clippings, buds, vines, and seeds, all overflowing from her bags so that she could bring them along. Marah finally put down her roots in the city of Nievahal, a bustling place of scholars and mages. Surely she’d find some way to make a name for herself here.

Even for a city overflowing with magic, Marah’s Herbarium was an unusual sight. A tall, almost crooked building it was, with creeping vines and bright flowers overflowing from every one of its many windows.

Atypical, perhaps, but Marah loved every inch of the place. How far she had come since first moving here- she’d turned this place from a rundown old shack into the bright, warm, blooming place it was now. She gave a happy sigh, inhaling the scents of the flowers and fruits bursting all around her.

Marah had indeed made a name for herself in the city of Nievahal- it had been a rough start, but with the help of a few intrigued sponsors she’d been able to start this place up. Now she was pretty much self-sufficient, able to care for both herself and her plant menagerie by selling things like pollen, seeds, and dried flower buds- which, since many of them came from magical plants, tended to have unique properties of their own. Marah always spent a great deal of time studying these substances and their properties before releasing them to her customers. A number of mages throughout the city were extremely loyal customers of hers, always buying samples of any new substances she released.

Marah wound her way between shelves of plants, nudging curling stems and broad leaves aside as she went, and patting the heads of any hopeful blossoms that poked her way- some of the plants, magical as they were, almost seemed sentient at times, and she considered them almost like pets, or friends.

“You’re looking lovely today,” she said brightly, stroking the head of a beautiful pink-gold Sunblossom as the passed. The flower seemed to swell with pride, emitting a small aura of light.

“Watch yourself, now,” she scolded gently as a Cat-nip plant snapped playfully at her ankles. Some of the plants she had almost needed to be trained or tamed before being placed in the main body of the shop- the upstairs floor, where Marah lived, also played host to a collection of plants who weren’t quite safe to keep around customers yet.

Marah finally made her way to the front area of the shop- a more open space where Viscets could mill about, examining her products or seedlings for sale- or bartering with her. Marah was always eager to see what plants travelers had to offer- she’d received many fascinating new plants for her Herbarium by trading with Viscets who’d come from abroad.

Yes, Marah’s life was certainly a vibrant one, thanks to her plants. And she loved every second of it.

Tell me their relation/connection with plants

Name: Mae Iris
Gender: Female
Relation to Plants:
Since Mae was a young girl, she felt a sort of.... connection to nature. Everything seemed to blossom brighter when she was around. As she grew older she found she had a sort of power to fertilize and tend to plants by just being near, making them grow brighter, stronger, and faster. As she became an adult, she started to use this power to her advantage, making a living out of her amazing gardens and selling the plants she grew. Now, she helps plants grow bright before selling them off to all.

Name: Adamina

Gender: Female


Her relationship with plants:

Adamina was a fairly quiet child, which made sense for her. She lived deep in a marsh, in a witch's hut with her mother who raised her. She didn't meet her father early on-- who was more magically talented than her mother. Though her mother was a witch in her own right. Perhaps not exactly a traditional witch, she more drew power from outside sources than from within herself. She drew her powers from nature.
She was a naturalist witch, and so, of course, she began to teach her young daughter the traditions, spells, and potions of her own people.

While her mother was a fantastic naturalist witch-- one of the best on her continent if not in the world-- and whip-smart to boot, she didn't exactly understand her own daughter's power.
And this quickly became a problem, because as Adamina grew in size and learned from her mother, her own power grew at alarming rates. Rates that her mother didn't know how to contain or handle. It was becoming a serious problem, around the age of eight, when your Adamina accidentally summoned a golem of vines and earth. Of course, this creature was not harmful-- but it was huge. It nearly crushed their home, and it took days for her mother to convince her to dispell the new 'friend' she had made.
Her father appeared from the first time a few days later, having sensed the real awakening of her gift, and gave her a magical conduit in the form of a brooch. The brooch was in the shape of a pumpkin, and the moment he pinned it to her it became covered in vines as her own witch's hat had done when her mother had gifted it to her.

Though Adamina grew fond of her father quickly, he was gone after just a couple days of teaching her how to contain and control her natural abilities.
And then her mother took over again.

Not that Adamina minded her mother's teaching-- she loved her mother and loved being a naturalist witch as her mother was-- but she never could connect in the same ways her mother did.

Adamina connected to nature perhaps a little too well. Instead of working alongside nature, she nearly commanded it with her powers. She felt this was too much power for herself, and for the longest time after that, she stuck to potions.

Until her mother passed on. And then, following the traditions of the naturalist witch's burial rites, Adamina performed a ceremony to grow a sapling over her mother's burial place. What she did instead was shocking, even to her. Instantly, the sapling grew into an enormous willow tree-- her mother's favorite-- Adamina having decomposed anything in the surrounding soil almost instantly and using the remaining power to grow the tree to its full size, instead of simply giving everything a small jumpstart as the spell was supposed to do.

And suddenly her eyes were open wide to a new set of possibilities. It felt wrong, in her heart of hearts, to command plants against what might be their will, especially without giving something in return. But now she knew what she could do. She could use decomposition to aide both the plants and herself. She could use this power to give back something else to the plants she felt before she had only been taking away from.

A symbiotic relationship of sorts.
