          i. full name | Petunia Flour Gilbert
          ii. meaning ———

               First name: The name "Petunia" is of Latin origin and refers to the flower of the same name. Petunias are colorful and vibrant flowers commonly found in gardens, symbolizing anger and resentment in the Victorian language of flowers. However, in modern contexts, they are often associated with the idea of being soothing, restful, and calming, due to their beauty and the colorful, peaceful atmosphere they create in gardens.

               Surname: The surname "Gilbert" has Germanic origins, derived from the Old French name "Giselbert" or "Gislebert," which is composed of the elements "gisil," meaning "pledge" or "hostage," and "berht," meaning "bright" or "famous." Thus, the name "Gilbert" can be interpreted as "bright pledge" or "famous pledge." The surname became popular in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066 and has since spread to various English-speaking countries.

          iii. nickname | “Pattie” can carry connotations of nobility or noble character, reflecting its connection to these root names. The nickname is often seen as friendly and approachable.

          iv. age | 26

          v. mental age | about thirty

               Pattie has a mental age of about thirty years old, largely due to the nature of her job as a guidance counselor specializing in mental health for children. Her responsibilities require a level of maturity and emotional resilience well beyond her years. Additionally, Pattie had to grow up quickly following the tragic death of her sister, an experience that profoundly shaped her and influenced her decision to pursue a career in mental health. This combination of personal loss and professional responsibility has instilled in her a wisdom and maturity that set her apart from her peers.

          vi. age they appear | 22

               Petunia appears a bit younger than her actual age, thanks to her firm, smooth skin. Her freckles also help camouflage any acne, giving her complexion a youthful and vibrant appearance that often makes her look more youthful than she is.

          vii. gender | Female

               Petunia works daily with kids struggling with issues related to sexuality and gender, providing them with the guidance and support they need. Her empathy and understanding stem from her own experiences; when she was younger, Petunia went through a similar journey, questioning her identity as she navigated her feelings and thoughts. After a period of self-discovery, she ultimately settled on identifying as female. This personal history allows her to connect deeply with the kids she helps, offering them not just professional guidance but also a sense of shared experience.

          viii. pronouns | Type here

               Petunia struggled with her identity for a very long time, questioning everything she did throughout high school and college. She faced a constant internal battle, unsure of where she fit in. During this time, she explored different aspects of herself, even identifying as genderfluid for a while in an attempt to find what felt right. It was a challenging journey, filled with uncertainty and self-doubt. Eventually, Petunia found comfort and clarity in identifying with she/her pronouns, a decision that brought her a sense of peace after years of searching for who she truly was.

          ix. sexual orientation | pansexual

               Pattie doesn't place much emphasis on her sexual orientation; it's not a big deal for her. She's comfortable with sleeping around, finding that it provides her with a sense of control, especially on days when everything else feels uncertain or out of her hands. This aspect of her life offers her a way to regain balance and maintain some level of autonomy in her day-to-day existence.

          x. romantic orientation | Pandemiromantic

               Pattie's romantic orientation closely aligns with her sexual orientation, but there's a significant difference in how she approaches relationships. While she's open about being pansexual, after her sister's death, she's become much more guarded with her personal life. Pattie no longer allows just anyone to get close to her emotionally. She only lets people in if she genuinely knows them and trusts who they are. This cautious approach stems from a deep need to protect herself after the profound loss she experienced, making her careful about who she allows into her heart.

          xi. race and nationality | Irish and Scottish
