(The emoji is "🙃 - Someone to share their suffering with." Since it's just a box on my end I thought I'd make that clear. XD; )

Today's plant, the Finvine! Quirky little plant it is. I probably coulda done more on it buuuut I'm getting to that point where if I want to stay on top of this I gotta be quick. 😅 Keep reading for more flora info!

Finvine

This fin-shaped aquatic plant is found in 4 out the 7 oceans in JI, and plentifully in the Koran Sea. It can even be found in bodies of water on the continent of Koraln Sing, but it is definitely a saltwater plant. It is never found in freshwater. The clear webbing between the rays of the fin are beloved for making gelatin, but they sometimes have a sour taste to them. This seems to be particular to where and how it's grown, though, so some varieties are milder with almost no taste. The Finvine generally prefers shallower waters where it can still receive ample amounts of sunlight. The shallower the better, though it will look quite limp if not fully submerged. Gelatin made from the Finvine is often served as a snack with tea. The main body of the plant is even known to be used in tea, though its salty taste may be disagreeable to some, adding the webbing to it seems to ease the taste a little, and can make for an interesting surprise if the tea is allowed to set.

Sz’nami Front and Back

Wooo, a new reference for Sz’nami! It’s been years. XD Another one of the Wotren gang, she’s the mom friend of the team. She ends up helping out a very important character in the series, but the details are confidential for now. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) She’s close to one of my favorites, and honestly, her mom friend moments are so relatable. 😔 At least to me. Anyways, so yeah, this is her! Was hoping to get a few more angles in before ArtFight starts, but oh well. Make sure to follow me on ArtFight if you’re interested! See you on the battlefield~~

Some flowers for today!

Mewgaana Mamolia

Another member of the Mamolia family, this flower can be found growing on Mewga Island, though its relatives are thought to be found on Furheart Iiah as well. Though primarily decorative, pieces of the petals can be used to make sweeteners for tea. Since the petals are quite large for Buddys, the whole flower is rarely used, instead being left to restore itself after some pieces are taken.

Korana Minia

These strange aquatic flowers can be found growing on the continent of Koraln Sing. They prefer tropical waters, somewhat shallow, so that the tallest of them might be able to reach the surface. Though they can be found growing deeper as well. Though purple is its most common color, it can be found in navy blue, dark green, dark red, and even dark yellow. Its color usually depends on where it grows, with its deep sea cousins usually being darker colors than the shallower water ones. Within their blossoms they grow a somewhat heavy liquid reminiscent of cough syrup. The flavor is not favored by most, so they are mostly grown for beauty.

Final flower for this challenge! Seems like my compositions have been shrinking lately. 😅 Ah well, I think my other circle composition did really well two years ago so maybe it will be well-received again? Or does this challenge just not do as well here as on Instagram? So far that's been the vibe. Ahhh... kinda makes me wish it wasn't a garbage platform... Anyways! Onto floral descriptions!

Electora Flora

Similar to the Lyta Flora, the Electora flora stores up energy from the sun and gives some of it off at night. The rest it stores in its roots, which can be harvested and used as a power source. Very few know how to do this though, as it requires some technical knowledge. Electora roots are commonly used in the Queen's Palace, as she is one of the few who know how to utilize them.

Today's plant! I struggled with how to reinterpret my 2009 design. I still might make a separate plant based off another design I thought of for this plant, but for now... keep reading for more!

Furheartia

The namesake of the continent, Furheart Iiah. It only grows there, but some cultivation attempts have resulted in greener leaves. Flora that grow in Furheart Iiah tend to become pink or tinged pink from the mist that blows in from the surrounding water, which makes the sky and everything else appear pink as well. When the plants that grow on Furheart Iiah are cultivated in foreign soil, they tend to take on greener colors depending on the location. The leaves of the Furheartia plant are beloved for tea, especially if they are imported from their native land, where they maintain a sweet but mellow, calming flavor.
