## Bio

Poppy is the daughter of Violet and Heath Gardenia, and twin sister of Lavender, born and raised in Brighton, ON in 1971.

When Poppy is in twelfth grade at East Northumberland Secondary School, she and her sister are approached by a mysterious and cheerful woman named Peony, who offers them magical powers if they agree to help her defend the world from the evil delinquents known as Noxia. When Noxia attacks, they agree to help her and accept the powers, and Poppy becomes Cure Buttercup.

When Poppy is in her late twenties, she meets Isaac Hershel and together they have Lily. They break up soon after, and Poppy moves to New Brunswick with Lily when her sister moves to Nova Scotia.

By 2016, Poppy is 45 years old, and has long since retired as a Pretty Cure. She discovers that her daughter Lily has also gained Pretty Cure powers, and dons her transformation once more to aid Cure Tulip in battle against a Remnant monster.

By 2049, Poppy is 78 years old, and is living with and caring for her mother. By now, she has a granddaughter, Holly, and is pleased to learn the girl has received Pretty Cure powers after yearning for them her whole childhood. She transforms one last time alongside her sister, daughter and daughter-in-law, niece and grand-niece to aid Cures Swallowtail and Monarch in battle.

## Cure Buttercup
