Bio: Neither rags nor riches, Hibiscus grew up in a humble home near Wahoo World (which she absolutely loves) with super nurturing, level-headed parents, the sweetest younger brother, Poppy, she protects to this day and wouldn't trade for anyone, and an all-around encouraging group of extended family and friends. Homeschooled by her mother, Primrose, and aunt on her father's side, both certified teachers, more out of convenience than to shelter, and taught music and other extracurriculars by her "Uplifting Ukulele" famed father, Kaleo~, Hibiscus hardly feels like she missed out on the trials and tribulations of public schooling and social norms, excelled in her studies, and is ever a social butterfly, eager to break the ice with each new face she encounters. Despite having freedom basically at her fingertips both in and out of her home, along with well-earned accolades and recommendations, she currently finds herself overwhelmed with what she truly wants to further pursue after having recently graduated and is taking a year off from her studies. Making the most of this downtime, though always having interest in Turf since she was a tweenkling, she's focused more than ever in proving just how tactful and capable she really can be as a blossoming leader while daylighting in the spring and summer as a lifeguard at New Albacore Hotel along with the regular every other day Salmon Run shift and other odd jobs. Before forming Bellicose Bouquet, she and Poppy regularly participated in League matches as the "Dapper Darlings" duo, and while fun was always the priority, their notoriety grew even merely through their presence and they've apprenticed and gained experience under various influential teams. Hibiscus first met Begonia one fateful day in the plaza in her downtime after a set of duo Splat Zones matches, in awe of her triumphs despite the latter wishing to keep things hush-hush, and immediately clicked with the Octoling. She was then introduced to Wisteria by Poppy after several encounters at the music store he works at a few weeks later, subsequently leading to the separated sisters' reunion and thus solidifying the quartet's bonds of companionship. Their alliance at its peak, despite some lingering hesitancy from Begonia and initial resistance from Wisteria, all four began buckling down, determined and elated to establish Bellicose Bouquet as their display of personal growth and camaraderie.
Personality: Pleasant, a greeter and encourager, always Booyah!s at match starts, sometimes too ambitious, very excitable which leads to slight airheadedness/naivety, team player, "easy breezy," a girl all the guys want but she's oblivious to such; non-confrontational unless provoked
