Her knowledge, when it comes to flowers, is vast. Anything that could possibly be connected with flowers, she probably already knows. Medicine, herbalism, drugs, soil pH and nutrients, the seasons and planting, flower language and symbolism, dangerous compounds, herbal and healing teas, perfumes, and many more subjects are all at her disposal. She has a near perfect memory, but she can also analyze the data and communicate, succinctly or at length, what is needed at the time. She works closely with the Drabengro, Spalpeens plus various crafters and entertainers, has good relations with them.. It's just that she lacks certain social skills; she can't seem to apply them to her actions. So she stutters. She gets distracted in thought. she forgets her manners (particularly when she's excited). Perhaps her self-esteem is lower than most. But she works hard planting, cultivating, and harvesting. She will give you what you need, after all, she probably has it in stock, or knows where it grows.

Mare: Fancy FloralsBackground:Warning: the second paragraph is about a fatal robbery. Please skip it if needed. :3
She was born for this job. She grew up closely with her mother and familiar both of whom taught her all there was to know about flowering plants. Every day was special. Every excursion was burned into her memory. Every person she met, she remembered their name and was taught how to greet them formally and respectfully. After that she did not pay enough attention to begin with, and then her focus waned when it had nothing to do with flowers. To this day she does not know much about politics, war, food, and finances, though she knows enough about the latter two to get by.
When she was halfgrown, her mother was killed in a robbery. They did not have much cash at hand but their jewelry was also confiscated. Her mother's attempt to protect her child resulted in her death, and her body served to shield her daughter from fatal wounds as she fell upon Fazenti, pinning her for several hours. Fazenti's wounds were serious and it took her a long time to recover physically. To this day she has nightmares, and if something reminds her of the assailant or of that night, her conscious fades into a trancelike state. It is a horror to behold such an expression on such a lovely face.
Truffeni the jerboa has been by Fazenti's side since she was very young. In those early days her mother needed someone to watch out for Fazenti's foalish antics, or to care for her when the mother was away. And to be a nanny to her. Truffeni also liked to play with Fazenti as she was also quite young. As Fazenti grew, Truffeni taught her about the Baxt vai' datha, its people and customs. She taught her about making the most of flowers as a moneymaker. Taught her things about flowers that perhaps Fazenti's mother wouldn't approve of, but were probably good to know. Toxins used in poisonous potions. Love potions. The Oxonxano’baro and Grushi Dest: how to sell to them, and all about what they did. Truffeni wanted Fazenti to know about the dark side of the herd, so that she would not be victimized by it.

Mare: Fancy FloralsPlot 1: "My Mother, My Father." What was her mother's name, how they interacted and bonded, how she saved Fazenti. Who was her father and how did he affect her life. What was his name?
Plot 2: "How Does Your Garden Grow?" Maybe not a full plot but important info besides. What is in her garden? What plants would she plant in a temporary set-up and what would she take along with her? She probably travels and leaves plants to grow in their native habitat all along her route.
Plot 3: "The Dark Side." Truffeni's darker teachings and misadventures in the underworld. Her first encounters with the Oxonxano’baro and Grushi Dest.
Plot 4: "Kindred." Meeting other craftsmen and make some friends. The alchemist, the fabric crafter, the crystal master, the oracle. What are their relationships right now? What will they become? Potentially several PRPs one-on-one, or one big PRP with everyone.
Plot 5: "Desert Rose." Someone needs a specific flower/plant that only grows in a specific place that is treacherous to obtain. How she plans ahead, packs for the trip, and plots her course, all before she leaves. Then obtaining the plant and the dangers she has to overcome to get it.
