 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#b7b7b7;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Background: She was born in Patch and lived with her mother and father very peacefully.  Her father, a veteran Hunter, was often away on missions, but he always made sure to come home and tell Dahlia all about his work.  While he was away, her mother was there to keep her company.  Her mother was always sick, which kept her bedridden, but that didn't keep her from nurturing Dahlia's childlike wonder and love of nature.  When her mother told her father that Dahlia was taking a keen interest in nature, specifically flowers, her father started coming home with books on flowers or pressed flowers.  He would teach her all about the different kinds of flowers, from roses to hyacinths, even to the one she was named after, dahlia.  He would always tell her that flowers were much like people, with all kinds of designs and varieties of color and shape, but that they were all the same when you go to their roots.  He said that the biggest difference between people and flowers were that flowers couldn't talk, couldn't tell people how they felt or if they were hurt.  That was when Dahlia decided to become a florist and speak for the flowers, tell people how the flowers felt and how amazing and beautiful they were.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#b7b7b7;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Afterwards, her father set her up with one of his contacts, a florist in Vale he had helped in one of his missions who he had kept up contact with, and sent Dahlia to that florist for her to learn.  She stayed with that florist for a number of years, always making sure to write letters home for her mother.  She learned as much as she possibly could from that florist, but was at the point where she would need to take professional classes to get the education required to run her own business, which the florist was happy to help with.  Through that florist's help and the help of her father's income, she was able to take postsecondary classes to own her own flower shop.  Unfortunately, while she was working on that, her mother passed away from an illness.  Dahlia was devastated, but refused to let it keep her from her dream.  She turned to her work, putting her all into it and finally passing all of the required teachings.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#b7b7b7;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">It wasn't until a few months later that she was able to open up her own flower shop, Gaia's Blossoms, again with the help of her father's income, although she swore to him that she would pay him back for it.  She set up business in the city of Vale, where she's had a lot of luck with the store, and she’s been working as a florist ever since.
