Cocona

Cocona is an NPC on Penacony, located in Golden Hour. She is operating the Dreamjoy Fashion Store in Oti Mall.
==Profile==
Cocona is a native Penacony resident. She possesses a talent for singing and playing musical instruments. According to her teacher, she has a superb understanding of music and does a great job at handling the pitch, rhythm, emotion, and vocal performance. It was implied that her parents didn't get along that well. 
===History===
In her younger days, she decided she wanted to work at something related to music. However, her dream didn't come true as her parents rejected it, believing that her teacher was scamming her for money and deeming it unrealistic. Her mother believed that she was not classically trained, she was not pretty, and her voice was ordinary at best. She suggested Cocona to work at a luxury good store in the Golden Hour instead.
At work, she talked to a customer called Gerwin. She asked Cocona to accompany her around the store, as she missed hearing her melodious voice. Her capability and down-to-earth personality made her the store's star employee. Her co-workers told her about some rumors, such as Gerwin and Rilke—another customer—being picky and rude, Gerwin's son which she had a meal with—and all the rich folks—being manipulative, and her getting the job through connections—her parents' connection with The Family—. One of the co-workers advised her to not use such tricks to knock on the door of the elites. She then cried. After the conversation, both the co-workers gossiped with each other, believing her EQ to be low because she is a local, and she is a show-off.
Later on, her supervisors were considering on not renewing her contract because Cocona believed there was a problem with the goods and didn't want to scam the customers. They tried to convince her that the rich folks care more about branding and story over quality. They received complaints that she stole away other employees' loyal customers, and gave her a chance to get her performance up on the same day. Upon reflecting on herself, she met her own ego—her innocence, kindness, honesty, and principles—, leading her to reminisce her only ray of light.
In her reminiscence, she had a lover named Pound, who decided to go to Planet Taikiyan to win a Roboball match so they could move from Penacony. However, she didn't receive any news from him by the time the match was over. She was later informed by someone sent by Pound that in order to move, he decided to borrow an inordinate amount of money from The Family. The money, however, was used on a bet that he would become a champion in the competition, which he lost by a hair's breadth. His fate was unknown. This leaded to her being dismayed and depresssed.
The Trailblazer noticed her in Golden Hour. After learning about her past, she went to a rooftop in Dream's Edge, about to commit suicide in the Dreamscape. This leads to two outcomes:
* If Trailblazer grabbed her hand: They prevented her from committing suicide, and supported Cocona all the way. She was convinced that someone believes in her resolve. Back to the Golden Hour, The Trailblazer convinced her to sing at the Clockie Statue. She then sang the song "Envision a Rose Forthcoming" dedicated to her and the Trailblazer. While singing, the crowd gathered and applauded at her performance. As she continued singing, the place gets more crowded. After completing the Adventure Mission, she can be seen working at the store again.
* If Trailblazer let her go: She committed suicide in the Dreamscape. The Trailblazer later asked Giovanna at The Reverie in Reality, and she would handle Cocona on her own. Giovanna then contacted the Alfalfa Family to have someone take over the store, apologizing to the Trailblazer and stating that such things happen "all the time" in the Dreamscape. Cocona is said to have resigned from the store and Prezzo (who displays heavy signs of mental tampering like Cocona) worked in her stead, who states that Cocona is likely not returning to Penacony.
