[table=bordered][row][cell=active][sub][color=303030]Who are you?[/color]
I reside among the few elite who are able to beautify Ba Sing Se. The job is resolute in finding beauty in even the hardest of places to reach – the Lower Ring. Beauty is not just outward expression, but an internal sense of artistry that must be lived and learned, if you will. It is a healing element that offers relief from pain. With this knowledge, I cultivate an experience of harmonic beauty in the Gardens of Ba Sing Se, which includes the Crystal Tea Garden, Firelight Arboretum, and the Conservatory of Flowers. (The community extends its design to the Middle and Lower Rings during times of celebration.)

My interest in botany began at an early age. Perhaps, the fascination was something nurtured in me before I was born. My mother enjoyed floral arrangement, having her own floral shop within my father’s specialized boutique of marquetry items. Together, they created the exclusive exposure to natural and refreshing home designs – The Jade Tortoise. The King’s servants were known to ask for custom designs from The Jade Tortoise; and clientele came from all over Ba Sing Se merely to have a small something to relish in their homes like the King did, treating them as good luck omens. If not because of the King and good luck, it was because of the unparalleled elegance their arrangements had on the senses.

There’s not much more to say. I take great care in my etiquette with the Gardens of Ba Sing Se. I believe my work is my duty. The beauty of the Ba Sing Se reflects the order and intellect of the Kingdom. I make divine work that praises and balances this harmonious system. As the seasons change, my work cycles through the macrocosm, allowing Ba Sing Se to be its own center of definitive virtuous. Everything is as planned.

[color=303030]What is your opinion on Benders?[/color]
I haven’t thought so much about them. My expertise is botany. I’m a botanist, not an advisor of the King. From my understanding, they favor an unpopular opinion. However, I happen to think if I ever did meet one, how he or she treated me and those around him or her would be a direct link to my opinion. I can’t say I can classify a whole class of people by one, though… [/sub][/cell][/row][/table][sub][color=2e2c2c]____________________________________________________________________[/color][/sub][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color]
