WoL prompt: what hobbies does your character have?

[Local_Custard]

My head is empty rn but I will try my best to reply in some depth-

I head cannon Mana to not be a WoL, but just a healer who's gotten in over her head trying to support her friends.

She enjoys reading and gardening, and enjoys cooking occasionally. Which she is able to to in-between her "odd jobs" of helping adventures clear out dungeons or fighting things way larger then herself. The amount of times she's returned home from adventuring covered in dirt, debris, and sometimes monster parts is more then enough for one person.

Her dream if the world wasn't in danger 24/7 would be to start a shop where she can sell potions, remedies, and flowers.

What kind of plants does she particularly enjoy gardening with? Does she lean more towards ornamental or edible kind of plants? Often a mix of both is nice, though I find each gardener may be bias towards one of those two groups- of course there are plants that are both edible and ornamental (such as the hosta plant).
What is her favorite dish to cook? What is her favorite spice?

Her shop idea sounds it'd be a cute little corner shop! Maybe my brain fills in the gaps more an intended, but I can imagine it full of flowers, with shelves decked in potions. Maybe her remedies would include medicinal plants she grew herself- though that is getting into herbology as a discipline (not to be confused with homeopathy).

Iyami's true passion is traveling, and adventure is just a way to get paid to do it. The experience and the memories are all the payment she really wants, but a paycheck's good too.

During those two hours or so a week when the world isn't in deadly peril, Iyami likes to just find a nice drink and a quiet perch and watch the people go by. The catwalks in the Crystarium or the balcony in Revenant's Toll are great spots for it, since most passing travelers don't bother to look up.

She's also a recovering Gold Saucer addict. She doesn't like to talk about it. (It's totally not because I've bought everything I wanted already, I swear.)

What was her weirdest adventuring job/experience? Does she ever slow down while adventuring even if the party is trying to work quickly?
If she only has 2 hours to herself, I cannot imagine how she may feel when something happens and she has 0 hours to relax-

what kinda Golden saucer addiction? Triple triad? Chocobo racing? The GATEs? All of the above?

My wol is a solitary person, unfortunately. I would say his hobby is watching people having fun in hub cities.

Not even crafting or some other form of art? I know fishing or mining/botany can be nice to do alone sometimes

My first time using quote, let's see if I did it correctly!

She loves both ornamental and edible plants. She needs to keep a variety and tries her best to keep rarer flowers alive, even if she has to use magic to keep them up.
Her favorite dish to cook is tea, mostly because it uses the most items from her garden and doesn't require her to go to the market-board.

What was her weirdest adventuring job/experience?

There was an incident in the Dravanian Forelands, involving a bushel of overripe caelum fruit, four hungry gnath firedrones, a wyvern with an ingrown toenail, and several barrels of airship grease. The details have been forcibly forgotten with copious amounts of ale, but let's just say Iyami always caries spare clothes and plenty of soap now.

Does she ever slow down while adventuring even if the party is trying to work quickly?

Working with the party is part of the adventure. After all, no bun is an island. She can always come back later when there's less things around to try to kill her.

what kinda Golden saucer addiction? Triple triad? Chocobo racing? The GATEs? All of the above?

Mostly GATEs. Keeping track of Triple Triad regional rules is headache-inducing, and chocobo breeding and raising takes too much time and effort. And you never get rid of that chocobo smell....
