Poppy

**Poppylan Wilkes** is the main protagonist of *Midnight Poppy Land*. She is the assistant editor and manager of Giant Goldfish Publishing who gradually becomes friends with Tora after a series of coincidental meetings.

## Physical appearance

Poppy has long wavy brown hair that frames around her face with large brown eyes and thin eyebrows. Despite having a curvaceous body, her short stature and youthful features make her appear much younger than she really is.

She typically wears cheap clothing due to spending her entire savings on the down payment for her apartment.

## Personality

Poppy is a very kind and caring person who is diligent and extremely motivated to work hard at her job. Being raised by her kind father, Poppy grew up following good morals but tends to oversee the dangers of certain situations. She can be naive at times and a poor judge of character. She is often judged for the way she dresses and acts by those around her, strangers included, but believes that another persons opinion of her isn't something to concern herself with. Nonetheless, she is brave and never hesitates to treat strangers with kindness.

## Story

Poppy grew up being raised by her father. However, six years before the current timeline, her father died from an aggressive stage 4 cancer that was caught too late. This traumatic event motivated Poppy to work hard and grow up to do something meaningful with her life. As an adult, Poppy follows the many teachings she learned from her father and puts them to use in her daily life and career.

Based on some hints from the webcomic, and some scenes that drop clues that can't be ignored, Poppy may have something to do with another mafia business. When her and Tora are discussing personal similarities and differences at the tiny dock in back of her house, Tora states that he's in the mafia, and she isn't. Poppy pauses for a moment before correcting him, though before she can elaborate or Tora can ask, they're interrupted.

## Relationships

### Love Interests

#### Tora

Tora is Poppy's main love interest. They seem to have a playful, flirtatious and healthy relationship despite contrasting in many ways. Poppy is often seen to be his main priority.

#### Julri

Julri is Poppy's ex-boyfriend. The two were high school sweethearts, but Poppy had been trying to find a reason to break up with him for a while due to him constantly treating her like she's an embarrassment. She finally got her chance when she returned to Moonbright for a surprise visit and walked in on him cheating on her with one of his college classmates named Mimi. From the way Mimi made it sound, the two had been having this affair for some time.

### Friends

#### Erdene

Erdene is one of Poppy's coworkers and close friends. The two tell each other just about everything, and it's believed that Erdene met Danae and Mirabelle through Poppy. It's Erdene who notices how observant Poppy actually is and how she feigns naivety to manipulate those around her.

#### Jacob

Jacob is a coworker of Poppy's and a good friend. They work well together, but Jacob has a tendency to make comments about Poppy's weight, which don't seem to bother her much. Poppy tells Tora this which makes Jacob a target of Tora's aggression.

#### Mirabelle and Danae

Mirabelle and Danae are Poppy's beloved ”aunts” from back home. They are the daughters of Poppy’s maternal grandfather’s youngest sibling (Episode 76), making them her first cousins once removed and close in age. As sisters, they always seem to be together and travel the world with each other. It's due to them pleading with Poppy's grandma that Poppy was eventually allowed to move to Narin City. During one of their own visits to Narin City, they met Erdene and they all became fast friends.

#### Quincey

Poppy met Quincey after an altercation at Club Miracle led to Benjamin getting an injured and being taken to Quincey's house for treatment. Quincey gave Poppy his phone number that night. Later on, Poppy learns that Mr. Lam had been trying to contact Quincey about a business deal to finish a book his late wife had been writing. Poppy took on Mr. Lam's book and, due to another series of unfortunate events with Tora, Quincey impulsively signed a deal with her to finish it without knowing the contents of the contract.

### Family

#### Father

Poppy's father raised her on his own and taught her the many life values that she lives by today. Six years prior to the series, he sadly died from a quick and aggressive cancer. It happened so fast that Poppy couldn't accept his death and was in hysterics when she was taken from his body because she wanted to stay and wait for him to wake up.

#### Mother

It's currently unclear what Poppy's relationship with her mom is or when her mom disappeared from her life. When talking to the photos of her family on her 21st birthday, Poppy says, "And mom... Hope she's doing well. Wherever she is, now."

#### Grandma

Following her father's death, Poppy's maternal grandma raised her. They appear to have a close relationship, and Granny was said to have fought with Danae and Mirabelle to keep Poppy in Moonbright despite her desperately wanting to move to the city.

Mirabelle

Mirabelle is Poppy's cousin but named as her aunt in Episode 76. Poppy tells Tora that because they are so close in age they tell everyone they are cousins to not cause confusion. Despite Poppy telling Tora they are her Aunts, Mirabelle would be her 1st cousin once removed.

Danae

Danae is Poppy's cousin but named as her aunt in Episode 76. Poppy tells Tora that because they are so close in age they tell everyone they are cousins to not cause confusion. Despite Poppy telling Tora that they are her Aunts, Danae would be her 1st cousin once removed.
