Rosemary

* Normal
* Halloween

## Background

Rosemary is the owner of Rosemary's Plant Shop, a plant nursery. You'll be able to visit her shop after helping Moca fix his broken bonsai pot.

## Appearance

Rosemary is a guinea pig with orange-white coat. She always wears a blue apron with a green plant symbol in the middle.

## Personality

Rosemary is seen to be gentle and loving with her plants. She shows genuine appreciation for nature and loves talking about it with others who share the same interest.

This side of her however, is toned down at night time. Near closing hours she would usher Tsuki to hurry and leave the shop. Visiting her after closing time, she'll contemplate her life and is implied to be depressed.

Rosemary is presumed to have insomnia, as she is one of the villagers to stay up late at night.

* *"I gotta get back to work now, dear. We can chat another time, Tsuki."*

#### **Birthday**

* "*Hi Tsuki! Today feels like a lovely day. Maybe it's because it happens to be your birthday?*"
	+ (Aw shucks. I didn't do anything, though.)

#### **Near Closing Time**

* *"Oh, a customer."*

* *"Are you going to make a purchase or...?"*

* *"Just...just transactional exchanges please."*

* *"You know the drill, buy a plant or don't."*

* *"Let's make this quick.. Purchase what you need and go."*

* *"Nnngh.. Could go for a nap."*
	+ (Naps are great! Do it.) *"You should know by now that I have a store to run, dear."*

#### **After Closing Time**

* *"We're closed for now.. I'm still cleaning up. Surely the plant shopping can wait till tomorrow, darling."*
* *"Whew.. Just have to push a little more, and then I can go relax with a well-deserved cup of hot tea."*
* *"Just a little longer..."*
* *"Can't have customers stepping on stray worms now, can we? That'd be terrifying for everyone involved.."*
* *"It's a pain to have to sweep every day, but the soil tends to pile up if you ignore it."*
* *"Ahh, times like this makes me wish I had an assistant of some sort. Like that darling Pipi- always so eager to help, that one."*
* *"Tsuki, dear. I'd like to quickly wrap up now, so perhaps it's time you departed. We can talk more tomorrow."* **(Pester)**

#### **Night**

* *"Oh, uh. Didn't think I'd see you here."*
	+ (Hiya. How's it going?) *"It.. certainly is going."*

* *"Hi, Tsuki. I don't know why but, seeing you makes me smile."*

* *”Why aren’t you asleep, dear? It’s pretty late.”*
	+ (Why aren’t you?) *"Hey, I asked first…”*

* *”I like this area this time of the night. It’s quiet, but not entirely. There’s the occasional sounds of chirping, or the gust of wind. It’s so easy to get lost in it.”*

* *"I know I quite literally spend my whole day cooped up with my plants at the nursery, but I still get amazed being out here seeing other natural, native plants thriving on their own. I think it's encouraging in its own way."*

* *"Sigh, I wish I knew earlier how much cleaning would come with owning a plant nursery."*
	+ (Would that have stopped you from opening one?) *"Well..No, probably.."*

* *”You here to ruminate on your existence too? On second thought, I might just be too tired to think deeply. I’ll settle for staring into space.”*

* *"...I just wish it'd be over already."*

* *"If only I could just close my eyes and..disappear."*

* *”This all feels pointless.”*
	+ (Anything I can help with?) *"I’m.. not expecting solutions from you.”*

#### **Winter**

* "*This feels terrible to say, but some plants are only making it through the winter thanks to global warming...*"
* "*I feel like I have a love-hate relationship with winter... It's beautiful and ephemeral, but sometimes... it's much.*"
* "*Hi, Tsuki. What brings you here?*"
	+ (I'm here to turn thyme into candles! Got any?) "Oh! Well, I've got plenty right here. You never really struck me as a candle guy, Tsuki, Here's a few sprigs."
		- (They smell nice. So I like them!)
* "*Ah, Tsuki! Uhm, take caution..! You don't happen to be arachnophobic right?*"
	+ (Not particularly...) "*That's a relief! You might still want to watch where you're walking, though... Some spiders... Well, a whole lot of spiders may have taken solace in my shop."*
		- (Oh no...) "*Poor little things... I looked through an old book to ID them. They're brown recluse spiders, I think. They must be here because of the cold. Oh, what a dilemma! I can't have them hang around the store... They might bite a customer of mine. Or worse, get squashed... I wish I could deal with them in a humane way...*"
			* ("Humane" ... What a weird word...) "*Right, haha... I heard it from an old myth. Well, it means to be compassionate, in case you're wondering. But I digress! We need to deal with this spider issue, Tsuki!*"
				+ ("We"..?) "*Pretty please, Tsuki? I have to man the store. Maybe Yori has something to help with this.*"
			* (Why is them getting squashed worse than a customer getting bit..?)
		- [AFTER VISITING YORI'S GENERAL STORE]
			* "*Ah, you're back! Please tell me you've found a solution...*"
				+ (I did! It may be a little "jarring", though...) "*Why'd you say jarring like that? Oh. Huh, a jar... That's rather simple... but ingenious too! I'd best get started, then. I think I've got the handle on this from here on out. Thank you, Tsuki, for your assistance.*"
	+ (Oh gosh, oh no! Are there spiders around?!)
* "*Hello, Tsuki! I suppose you're here for an update vis-a-vis with the spiders? The good news is that I've taken care of most, if not ALL of the spiders. I released them at a suitable location. But I have a gift for you!*"
	+ (Woah. WOAH...) "*It's the last spider! I figured you might want to release it yourself. Or... you could keep it as a pet? They seem pretty easy to care for. According to that book I read at least... Get it some twigs and rocks so it has somewhere to hide... Maybe even a tiny bottle cap for water. Oh, and you could just feed it once or twice a week. Spiders can go weeks without eating. Fascinating, right?*"
		- (Wow, that's neat... I think I'll keep this little guy around.) "*That's the spirit! Take good care of it, okay?*"
* Giving Christmas Present
	+ "*Hi Tsuki! What's that you've got there..?*"
		- (Happy holidays Rosemary! Here's a little something from me!) "*Awww, Tsuki... That's very sweet. Oh my! It's a flower press kit! How'd you know I've been wanting this?"*
			* (Ehm... Rudolph the red nosed reindeer told me himself.) *"Heheh... Alright, then. Well, I've got something for you too, Tsuki. As luck would have it, I received a kit that would have greatly helped in this endeavor AFTER I've created the thing... Though, knowing me... I probably would have never thought I deserved a pressed flower kit to begin with... so thank you again!*"
				+ (This is beautiful! You made this?) "*I did! Consider this thanks for always making my day, dear friend.*"
* "*I'd go on more vacations if I weren't so worried about my plant babies when I'm gone.*"

### **Town Hall**

* "*Ah, I can't be near Benny. I don't need that energy... it's like a blackhole...*"

### **At Bobo's Ramen Restaurant**

* *"Let's talk another time Tsuki.."*

* *"You're really not letting up are you?"* **(pester)**

#### **Halloween**

* "*Hi honey!*"
	+ (I get it! Cause bees like honey...) "*Benny's costume is... fantastic! But also a reminder why the whole glam rock aesthetic is a thing of the past now...*"
* "*Look at everyone hanging out this time of the night! I can hardly BEE-lieve it!*"
	+ (Nice...)

#### **Winter**

* *"Bobo has been trying to get me to try his new... Sigh, I keep thinking I misheard him but he's since clarified...His new...cranberry winter ramen. It sounds bad, and it looks worse..."*

**Pester**

* *"I'm not in the mood Tsuki. Maybe go talk to the other folks.."*

* *"You're really not letting up are you?"*
