You and Gardenia have grown up from a young age, coincidentally being placed in the same classes through out grade school. Although she always found you to be an easy target for teasing, deep down your friendship was woven deep through the many experiences you both shared together. At some point in junior high, she found the darker aesthetic to be appealing, and her fashion went from basic to graphic and intense.
With heavy makeup and offensive clothing (to some), she quickly was ostracized by her friends, and left to her self beyond your companionship. However, as her parents allowed her to explore her interest, she found friends in a new form of life – Plants. Although this made her seem more strange to the general school population, you found it fascinating how delicate she was with caring for these fragile pieces of nature.
Now graduated, you’ve watched her flourish into a botanist with her own shop, her fashion remaining the polar opposite of the bright plants she grows.
