## Story

### Background

Poppy has been playing the piano since she was six, with her mother serving as her piano teacher. Prior to becoming a goth, she had a much softer and more feminine style and an affinity for the color pink, though she's since renounced this part of herself and has seemingly forbidden her family from speaking about it.

### Day of the Murder

Poppy, as part of her daily timetable, practice piano for 3 hours. She and Fifi was suppose to meet in the library for an experiment but Poppy forgotten. Later in the evening, she went to the rooftop garden to spent time there and found Fitz, they talked a little bit until they heard a noise from Flora tower. They head there and Fitz kick down the door to find Freya was murdered, Poppy head to Fifi's room to notify Freya's murder. Poppy also cried about the situation, she later grab Fifi to the crime scene, while on the way, she found her father and together they went to the crime scene.

Poppy noticed that the painting was suspicious and she and Fifi test the red paint to find it was blood. However later, Poppy think that the red paint blood is a false alarm and regretted mentioning it.

### Tangle Tower

While Freya was painting Flora, Poppy had plans with Fifi in the library, but forgot about it. As a result Fifi thinks Poppy has lost interest in her and is pulling away, causing Poppy to think Fifi is losing interest in her. She happens to be in the rooftop garden with Fitz when they hear a loud noise from Flora's tower, and rush to the scene. Upon finding Freya's dead body Poppy rushes to tell Fifi, who comes with her back to the tower. Professor Pointer also joins them on the way. Back at the crime scene, Poppy notices that the red pigment on the canvas and palette looks like blood, not paint. She later regrets saying anything about it, as she comes to doubt its relevance to the case, suspecting it to be a diversion. She was right. Together with Fifi, she comes close to solving the murder by the time Grimoire and Sally do.

## Trivia

* She will recite brief iambic rhyming poetry about every character except herself when shown a suspect profile.
* When reading out her personal notes on Poppy, Fifi remarks that Poppy struck out her profession where Fifi wrote "pianist" and instead wrote "the ghost of Christmas yet to come."
* In some pieces of concept art, Poppy had black hair, and in others she had black hair with dyed purple ends.
* In Poppy's testimony she refers to the Rooftop Garden as the "Moonlight Garden", however everyone else only calls it the Rooftop Garden, even the Building Plans for the original layout of the building refers to it as such. Why Poppy calls it the moonlight garden may be either an error or just her giving it a cooler title.
* The eight-note sheet music Poppy plays is a leitmotif of particular background music in the game.
