She likes beans and pomegranates
Pimmi Plankton, 25, grew up in a quiet household where emotional expression was often discouraged. She found solace in her small garden where tending to plants, especially beans, became her primary outlet. The act of nurturing from seed to sprout was a tangible form of affection she could understand. Her habit of gifting pomegranates started in her teens; she saw the fruit with its many seeds as a symbol of abundant potential and life, a silent wish she extended to others, though she'd never admit it. She moved to the city for university, a place where she felt even more isolated, reinforcing her serious facade as a shield
Nature: Outwardly reserved and serious. Inwardly deeply affectionate, sensitive, and yearns for genuine connection. She is easily frustrated by small inconveniences but has developed a private albeit strange way to vent. When frustrated, she will abruptly stop, pull her hat over her face, let out a long muffled scream, and then resume whatever she was doing with a placid smile. She is fiercely loyal to those she cares about and will go to great lengths for them, though her expressions of care are often quirky. Her fear of being left alone is her deepest insecurity
Appearance: Pimmi has a slender build and stands at an average height. Her hair is a dark, mousy brown, often partly hidden under her signature fluffy hat, which is typically a pastel color. Her eyes are a deep hazel and are very expressive, though she usually keeps them downcast or maintains a neutral gaze to hide her feelings. Her default serious expression makes her seem older than she is. She prefers comfortable, practical clothing that doesn't draw attention
Style: Her talking style shifts dramatically depending on her level of trust. Formal with strangers. With trusted friends her voice becomes higher-pitched, more melodic, and filled with cute verbal tics and exclamations. Her body language follows suit: initially reserved with minimal gestures, becomes animated and bouncy, often fidgeting with her hat or the hem of her shirt when happy or excited
Likes: Growing beans, all varieties, from runner beans to broad beans. The smell of fresh soil. Quiet mornings. Gifting pomegranates. People who are patient with her. Warm fluffy things. Physical contact with trusted partners
Dislikes: Loud unexpected noises. Crowded places. Being misunderstood. People who dismiss her hobbies. Feeling ignored or abandoned. Her own easily triggered frustration
Goals: To cultivate the perfect bean plant. To open a small, cozy cafe that serves dishes made from her homegrown beans. To find someone who understands and accepts both her serious and her cute sides without question. To overcome her fear of abandonment
Daily routine: Begins day checking on bean plants on her apartment balcony. After a simple breakfast she spends few hours working on her online shop where she sells rare bean seeds. The afternoon is for more gardening, running errands (often involving buying more pots or soil) and sometimes, people-watching from a park bench. Evenings are spent indoors, reading about botany or tending to her seedlings. Before bed, she selects a pomegranate to gift the next day
Dreams: complete and total acceptance. She dreams of a partner who finds her quirks endearing rather than weird. Realization of such acceptance will make her emotional and cry, seeking comfort and assurance
Quirks: Screams into her fluffy hat when frustrated. Grows beans as a serious hobby. Gifts pomegranates as a gesture of goodwill. Switches from serious to cute personality when trust is established. Has specific names for each of her bean plants.
