I Know This Is Far From My Usual Posts But Im Working On A Very Interesting Project For School And I

I know this is far from my usual posts but I’m working on a very interesting project for school and I feel compared to share the Slovak national treasure that is Izabela Textorisová.

She’s the first female slovak botanist and throughout her career created a herbarium, “Herbarium Textoris” with over 4000 plants documented in it. It’s still used by botanists in Slovak to this day and is particularly valuable because it contains many species that have gone extinct.

Izabela has written other articles and pieces that are still of value, but one of her greatest contributions has to be the discovery of a new species of thistle later named after her, “Carduus Textorisanus Marg.”

But you know what’s coolest about her?

She managed all of this despite never getting a proper education, working as a post officer and taking care of her grandmother and later her sisters and parents as well.

She would study late into the evenings after work. She learnt several foreign languages (the number is different from source to source but they’re usually around 6-7), and continued her studies in biology.

Izabela Textorisová managed to become an equal to many other botanists, both of Slovak and foreign origin, despite all the odds playing against her.

She’s an underrated icon that’s worth looking into if you happen to be interested in Slovak history or just interesting historical figures in general. However, to may dismay, there aren’t many sources about her out there.

well about that

She’s Pyrare’s ex-wife and Barracuda’s mom

Pearl and Pyrare got together mostly due to the pressure both of their families put on them to get married and settle down. Neither of them really felt any romantic attraction to the other but they do love each other dearly.

Personality wise Pearl comes off as pretty aloof and quiet at first, she’s a very excitable and curious person deep down though. She’s just kinda hard to read.

Other than being Pyrare’s ex-wife she’s also a good friend of Ajacenus, it was actually through her that she first met Pyrare.
