Job: Local business owner - Café owner at Café Sitrus_{-She works at the counter while desperately still trying to deal with the paperwork behind the scenes.}

PERSONALITY:

Energetic: Linnea is always ready to go and hardly ever stops to slow down. She fills her schedule to the brim, just so there's never a dull moment in her life. _{Even if it reaches the realm of hyperactivity at times.}

Sociable: Other people are what keeps her going day after day. She loves listening to people and she loves people in general. If you're dropping by to buy a coffee, stop and talk with her for a while. People showing interest in her makes her day.

Professional: She handles the business smile and casual talk like a pro. She'll aim to act calm and collected towards everyone. At least if you're not her friend, in which case she'll probably let the cover go.

Gets caught in the mood: She lets herself be swallowed in the feeling. If she was just with her friends, joking and fooling around, she'd find it almost impossible to make her mood do the 180 degree turn if the next moment she got a call that her house just burned down. She would be sure it was a joke and laugh at the person calling.

Erratic: She's inconsistent. One week she might only drink green tea. The next week her every morning starts with a cup of pure black coffee. Only for her to be soon disgusted even by the sight of it. She'll try just about everything.

Hides negative feelings: She prefers to bottle up her feelings, and if it ever became too much, she still would never show it in front of you. If she had a horrible day, she'd rather brush it under the bed than let it show.

Competitive: Even if she doesn't really let it show, she does have a desire to be superior. Linnea may challenge someone to a friendly race but she'll certainly be taking the whole thing very seriously. She sets a standard for herself and if she doesn't reach it, it hits her really hard.

Prideful: She has worked hard for where she is now. She wants people to see that even if she doesn't say it.  Her fragile ego doesn't take much to shatter. Perhaps her friend just called about getting really delicious tea at a new shop.The tea isn't the only thing they've got now as an awkward silence comes as a bonus...

People pleaser: She wants friends, a family, a good life, respect, a good reputation and admiration. You get the gist. She's a people pleaser. She's desperate to appear perfect. Because she just thinks it's the only way she's going to survive anywhere in this world. She may act "perfect" but of course she isn't. She gets hyperactive and lonely she's too loud and reckless etc. etc. She wouldn't want to show it though.

OTHERS: 

    -Orchid Bloom | Dear Friend | Summer-Starz  |:
_{Much like many others, Linnea met Orchid at the café. The two are quite an adorable, goofy pair. Linnea often reserves a breakfast for orchid and looks forward to their conversations. Orchid being a great listener, she's pretty much the only friend Linnea doesn't fear opening up to. Both share the fear of being alone and the dream of becoming something more. In the end, the two fit together quite well, and have certainly become great friends.}

    -Jasmine Starset | Friend | HunterShadowWolf |:
_{One day Jasmine just kind of... appeared? She was one of Linnea's first customers, and soon after a regular. Interested in the woman, Linnea ended up dragging Jasmine with her to a lot of places. Somewhere along the way, a casual friendship sprung from it! Though Jasmine hasn't been around for quite a few months now, Linnea is waiting for her, ready with a cup of coffee, and her friendship. Be back soon <3}

BACKGROUND:

- Short history:

    Linnea was born into a farmer family living in the countryside of Kalos. They didn't have that much money, but they survived.
    She would hardly ever concentrate in school and she often got into trouble for skipping classes. She enjoyed spending time running outside and with her family. At the time she had hardly any friends outside of that small circle.
    Linnea's parents divorced when she was 9. The children were left into the care of Linnea's father. Her mother used to be a big influence for her and her departure was hard. It made Linnea stick even closer to her family and especially her brother Leo. She started valuing her family members even more, and she became afraid of being alone. She stayed only with her siblings even at school, not bothering to talk to others.
    On her last years of junior high, her brother Leo, moved to Lumiose city to pursue his dream job as a doctor. This was devastating for Linnea. It ended up being a positive experience for her however, as she had to open her small family circle, and turn it into a large group of friends and acquaintances. She got into sports, especially basketball and running with the influence of her friends, who even encouraged her to go into a sports oriented high school. She still didn't care for subjects other than PE, which got her into trouble. She barely got through high school with the help of her brothers. Her grades were garbage and as she lived in the countryside, there were no good jobs that would take her in. All the available jobs were ones she could not appreciate at all, with minimum wages. Her pride could not allow for her to work there. She was desperate, not knowing where to go as she didn't have the money to commute to neighboring towns. She could not take leeching off of her already financially struggling family, so she ended up turning to her older brother Leo. He helped her get a good part time job in a café in Lumiose, and gave her some money as well. She lived with her brother until she managed to save enough money to move somewhere where she could get a new start and finally get on her own feet, her brother recommending to her the town of Ivywood. She took all she had and booked a ticket. She went forward with the only thing she knew, thus opening her own café near the center of Ivywood.
