➤ HCL Description:
Camille has been growing and arranging flowers since childhood. She's second to none when arranging a bouquet, and every flower, leaf, and vine had something relating to the message her clients want to give, and she's had experience in business management, thanks to her father. She is more well-known for her ability to grow high-quality flowers that were either out of season and/or non-indigenous to her country in her family's greenhouses. It was tricky, considering the fact that some species are invasive and may damage other plants; not to mention the different soils, temperature and lighting needed for each species.
❁ Trial Info:➤ Talent in Court:
❊ Aide-Mémoire ❊
Camille has a knack for memorizing and recognizing patterns. After looking at a pattern once or twice, she would already have an image of it pinned down in her head, and she can even draw it from memory if you asked her to. She gained this ability because each flower has its own distinct appearance, from its petals, to its leaves, and even to its stem, and she felt the need to memorize it instead of going back to the books again and again to see what it looked like. When arranging a bouquet, she keeps these traits in mind to see which flower would go with another in order to make a beautiful arrangement. However, her ability is only limited to visual patterns.
❊ Harsh ❊
Because of Camille's observant and critical nature, she's quick to point out one's flaws or weaknesses. She often keeps them written down in her diary when she talks about the people around her, and it could certainly help when aiming for someone's weak points in the middle of a trial. (e.g., pointing out that they're terrible liar, a loudmouth, crafty, etc.) However, other people may find it rude of her to say such things, especially when it's behind their back. She also may end up ranting if she dislikes someone enough.
➤Weakness in Court:
❊ Off the Hook ❊
Camille's lax and trusting personality leads her to let people off the hook rather quickly based on her own judgement, especially if it's someone she's become attached to. She'll be willing to argue the accuser unless there's some sort of evidence to prove her otherwise. If so, she'll back off. She can't argue against solid evidence, as much as it irks her.
❊ Au Revoir! ❊
When faced with a tight situation, Camille runs, often leaving her comrades to deal with it. She'll either hide, change subjects, or literally run away if someone tries to corner her into saying the truth about something she may know. The florist will avoid the topic as much as she can, often saying vague answers, avoiding any and all eye contact, and even saying even more misleading answers, as long as she gets them off her back. It's such a hassle to get her to say anything. Drive her into a corner and press her long enough, and she'll eventually give you a solid answer.
❁ Personal Info:
➤ Personality:
+ Good-Natured | Observant | Leisurely | Whimsical | Savvy
= Lax | Unpredictable | Persuasive | Trusting | Curious
- Vindictive | Escapist | Passive-Aggressive | Critical | Directionless
Camille is a pleasant woman at first glance. She's normally polite towards her customers, and her friendly disposition makes people feel compelled to have little conversations with her here and there; however, Camille is quick to notice other people's flaws, and she isn't afraid of pointing them out in the open. If she has a problem with someone, she'll say it straight to their face, but in a more underhanded manner. She'll often attach an insult with a compliment to lessen the blow—that is—until they realize what she really means. Because of handling her family's shop for years, Camille has a clear grasp on managing a business, as well as a good understanding of her line of work: growing, arranging and selling flowers. Her curiosity also pushes her to strive for a better understanding of her field.
She isn't too strict with people, often letting them off the hook when she thinks that they didn't do anything too wrong; (After giving them a few sharp words of warning of her own, of course.) However, Camille is a great believer in karma, and once someone has wronged her greatly, she will not hesitate to strike back. Camille likes to take things at her own pace, and she gets rather cranky when someone pressures her into doing something. Her mind seems to wander anywhere and everywhere if she's not observing the people around her. Camille ends up saying strange things out of the blue, but she always says it in a playful tone. Likewise, she may do unexpected things to solve a problem, like when she used her pruning shears to kill an insect instead of just smacking it with her hand.
Camille also tends to run away from issues that arise rather than face them head on, be it overdue bills or her own personal issues, and often getting lost in her own thoughts or relying on different forms of media for a distraction. She also prefers to go with the flow of things rather than change things herself, putting her trust in those who are more active than she is to fix things unless said issue is directly involved with her.

❊ Tight Spaces • Camille hates feeling restrained. She likes roaming around when there's nothing better to do, and she feels suffocated when she stays in one place for too long.
❊ Cows • A herd of cows once ate a patch of vegetables she'd been taking care of. She's disliked them ever since.
