Rhea
INTRO
Independent . Honest . Loving
Rhea is an independent and very honest person since a very young age. Taking care of no one but herself and her family's pets, she never learned how to take care of others. As she grew to an adult her love for animals and lack of care for others other than herself grew with her. She in now a full time veterinarian at a local vet clinic and a temporary home for animals before they got adopted.
Nevertheless even if her relationship with other people are still…distant she can still help maintain friendships and work type relationships but because of her honest yet harsh words romantic relationships are never kept for long.Her past girlfriends would usually be too impatient and never stuck long enough to help her understand how to take care of others. They would always consider her as “Heartless”, "Detached", and "Cold" whenever she talked to them or forgot to look out for them, due to this she has put romantic relationships back in the closet and focused more in her job and her pets.
However due to her brother coming back after a failed marriage and bringing his child with him, Rhea now has a new person to try and take care of, her adorable and lovely nephew! Now after years of being alone and independent she now has people to take care of, a tattoo shop to help build, and a new relationship with a certain florist to try and not mess up.

BACKSTORY
I was usually alone growing up that's why I only know how to take care of myself, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you.
Rhea was born from a normal loving family, consisting of her mother, father, brother, and their pet dog and cat. She grew up with smiles and joy as they were all very close with one another, especially her and her mother.
They would often cook and play together when her brother would be too busy studying and when her dad is too busy with working on a new project.
Her mom was one of the strongest glue that held them all together. Until she passed on when Rhea was just 8 years old. It devastated all three of them that they did all they could to occupy their mind with anything other than the pain of her passing.
Their father travelled so much for work, almost to the point where he would only come back home once a month after each deposit. Her brother, who was 16, would spend all his time in school and his part time job that he would come home late and wouldn't have enough energy and time to eat dinner or breakfast with Rhea. And Rhea....well she didn't do much....she cleaned the house, fed the pets, make -more like microwave- dinner and studied for school.
She began to get used to her new lifestyle and everyone in their small community that knew them pitied her. They would always offer their help and friendship but she refused all of them, they were only doing it out of pity and she doesn't need any of it. So because of that she never made any long lasting childhood friends, they would always stay away from her because of her harsh yet honest words.
Once high school came around, her brother moved out of the house to go to college and since her father is still traveling for work, she's now all by herself.
As time went on she began to realize that she's very much romantically attracted to girls as she even started to date a few who confessed to her. She never sees them as anything other than acquaintances but it never hurts to try a new relationship, especially when she knew that it wasn't because of pity.
None of the ever last long though as almost all of them considers her personality as.....terrible. She was called as 'Mean', 'Cold hearted', 'too honest', etc. that throughout high school she began to act exactly as they call her.
The only break she often has is when her brother would visit her with a piercing gun or piercing needles so that they can put piercings on each other.
She never let him pierce any noticeable places yet as school dress-codes are a thing in her high school so he would only pierce her ears.
Her brother visiting was always one of the best days in her high school years as even if they were growing distant, they're still really close to each other.
Her highschool graduation came and his brother and father came back to the house. She announced that she's moving out while her father announced that he will stay at the house and retire. Her brother on the other hand will be getting married soon. For once, after years of being separated, they had a family dinner. It was awkward, yes, as they mostly talked about the brothers wedding but it was...nice.
As a gift to Rhea for getting into college and moving out, Her brother gave her a lip and nose piercing and the 2 flower tattoos she had always asked from him.
It was new beginning for her and though laid back, she wanted to make the most of it. She studied like hell, helped with the local community animal shelter, and went drinking to this...certain gay bar. Hell she even had some one night stands with some female acquaintances (she was asked, she never asked herself).
Once she graduated and got the job at the community vet she was.....alone....., not including the pets that she takes care off, she was all alone in her apartment. She never pays it any minds though....not that she has anything to complain about, she has food, water, a roof over her head, and some companions as well, she had all that she needed.
Then she got a call from Rae, her hairstylist friend to hang out in her day off with her, her friend, and her friend's friend. She was about to decline but decided not to as she got nothing to do with all the time that she was given. In the meet up she saw a cute little pink haired girl with curls and flowers clips. She looked like an adorable little bunny, quivering at the new person before her. Well isn't she an interesting little creature.
After the hangout she got a phone call from her brother that told her some news that might change her lifestyle for the longest time. His marriage failed after he said that he wanted to make a tattoo shop and now him and his son, her nephew, would like to temporarily reside with her until the shop space that he bought just a few minutes away from her apartment is complete.
She pondered at the request, it could change her entire lifestyle in a snap of a finger. What about her animals? Her schedule? How is her brother at keeping the whole apartment clean?- Her nephew...He needs a calm and peaceful place to grow up in with a parent...even if they're unsure how long they'll be staying with her. After agreeing to the request her new life has now begun.
She now has people to take care of and people to take of her, the complete opposite of how she's been living for the past few years. But, she's determined to make sure that her nephew gets the best care that she could give, something that she hasn't felt much when she was growing up. And one of the first step to do that is a healthy diet with delicious!
They used to have a vegetable garden back when her mother was still alive and Rhea would always try to help and grow her own only to fail a week or two later.
But now is going to be different! She's older and she knows more now so there's no way that she'll fail!
Two weeks passed and she is already failing.
How can something wilt before it even bloomed? And how could taking care of a child and a brother be so hard? She doesn't know but it happened.
While coming home from work she stumbled upon a flower shop a few minutes away form her apartment, if only she could grow her plants like that....then it hit her...She could always ask for help. She was hesitant for the longest time until she saw a certain pink haired working at the counter, it was Miki, who would’ve thought it would be this flower shop she'd be working on. The anxiousness fled and she just went up and ask the cute girl for some help.
After some negotiation (Miki helping her and Rhea letting her visit her pets) they were all clear! Who would've thought she'd be working with an interesting cute girl while living and taking care of her nephew and brother.
It's been years since her life was this....lively...and for once she’s actually looking forward at how her days will turn out.
LINKS
Miki Lover
They met through a hangout planned by their two frineds and didn't really interacted much other than small talks about Rhea's floral style and tattoos and Miki being a florist. They did meet again after a week at Miki's work place due to Rhea needing help on how to plant fresh vegetables and herbs for a healthy meal plan for her nephew.
Rachael Taffyta Stylist/Friend
Rhea's stylist that she found as good company. Rae dyes her hair, paint her nails, and sometimes do Rhea's make-up whenever she's too lazy to do her own. Rae and her friend Hana was the one who set up the hangout that Miki and Rhea met in. They also have an inside joke about how similar their nnames are. Rae...Rhea...it's fun.
Aida Takanori Drinking Buddy
They met when Rhea first moved in to the area and wanted a drink at Takanori's bar, OceanBlue. She found out that it was a gay bar and felt even more closer to the place along with Takanori's company. So if she ever needs a drink she'll go to his bar and have a talk and a drink with him.
