## Flower Language

Flower: Tatarian aster (紫菀)

Language of Flowers: Reminisce / I won't forget you

The Aster is a unique daisy-like wildflower that’s known for its star-shaped flower head. Meanings for the Aster flower include love and wisdom. With a rich history in Greek mythology, it’s said that the aster was created by the tears of the Greek goddess, Astraea. One day, she was so upset by how few stars there were in the dark sky, that she began to cry. As she wept, her tears fell to the ground and turned into star-shaped aster flowers. Thus, the flower was named after her, with *aster* meaning star.

Another interpretation is that asters were created when Virgo scattered stardust over the Earth. Where the stardust settled, aster flowers bloomed. The aster is also an emblem of Venus, the goddess of love.

The aster flower comes in a variety of colors, with different colors carrying different symbols.

* **Purple asters** symbolize wisdom and royalty and are the most popular color.
* **White asters** symbolize purity and innocence.
* **Red asters** symbolize undying devotion.
* **Pink asters symbolize** sensitivity and love.

## Plot

Her grandmother, Allium Basquiat, was the head director of Saint Angraecum Academy while her mother, Iberis Basquiat, was the real administrator of the academy. Her mother was consistently busy so Sion had more contact with her father than her mother.

Sion's father adored Allium and often took Sion with him when they spent time together. Sion and Allium developed a very close relationship during these visits. It was from Allium that Sion started to learn about specimens. During that time period, Allium would often take Sion out to collect specimens together.

At the age of 14, she enrolled into Saint Angraecum Academy. After the initial amitié test, she was paired up with Sayuri. Their personalities were almost complete opposites so she did not think they would get along at first. However, she was used to her mother's and grandmother's hard to please attitudes and used that experience to gradually become friends with Sayuri.

Sion initially did not fit in with her classmates very well but Sayuri helped bring her closer to everyone. As they got closer, they started to investigate the Seven Mysteries of the school and solve the cases. Sion realized that she was in love with Sayuri while they were solving the cases.

However, when Sayuri was not the one chosen to be the Virgin Mary and Sion was instead, this caused a drift in their relationship. They were unable to reconcile their differences. After the feast, the depressed Sion snuck out to the old chapel in the middle of the night in order to repent. It was then that the chapel caught on fire. Her uncle Aster tried to come to rescue her but they both ended up dying together.
