Zinnia Beaufort is part of an old Hoennian family of medicine and incense makers. her parents are off researching in Alola, leaving her raised by her elderly grandmother for most of her life. from her, Zinnia was taught the old fashioned way of apothecary. she makes her medicine and incense by hand, putting love into each item.

raised in Slateport and born in Hoenn, Zinnia suffered somewhat at the hands of Rocket when they invaded in 2017. making sure her grandmother was safe via fleeing, the woman was left in the occupied city for a few days. this caused her to distrust Rocket to the point of fearing their presence. whether she was mistreated or forced to work for them while the city was occupied can be talked about.

eventually she will be entering into a relationship with @lev after he saves her from pirates. him being a Rocket will be kept secret from the woman, and we're all here for the dramatic ride when it's revealed!

plot points;

gain courage; Zinnia is a very shy individual, especially around men. she stumbles and stutters, finding herself very awkward. i would love some friends that stick by her even if she's withdrawn. she is a kind lady who likes to surprise her friends with gifts and baked goods.

herbology; science? what's that? all of Zinnia's knowledge is based on traditional herbalism that daisy has studied. she is always down for holistic medicine making, gathering plants, tending to berries, etc.

customers; her family's shop is located in Slateport. Zinnia dreams of being able to make medicine that isn't bitter that Pokémon like. she is a constant presence in the Marketplace and professional.

old friends; been in Hoenn a long time? grew up here? she'd love to have some old childhood friends or acquittances. let's get those awkward first meetings out of the way!

rocket fear; as of right now, it's not a good idea to tell this Civilian you're a Rocket. I'm down for her not knowing, but if you mess up and - oops! - let it slip... she will report you.
