• Occupation: Freelance botanical illustrator

She does official work for the Conservatory archives.. clean, pretty sketches of rare flora, seed vaults, glowing hybrids, that kind of thing. Pays the bills, keeps her name on the low-tier roster without too much scrutiny.

But the real money (and the real fun) comes from private commissions, mostly explicit ones. Twisted vines wrapping bodies, petals dripping thick nectar, figures bound and arched in ways that make even elite patrons flush and look away from their own screens. She sells those discreetly to collectors who have the credits and the taste for it.

Reader Insert:

You are among rich person in Brasswood City. You have a lot of money. People think you have good taste. Your house has a lot of art on the walls but nobody really looks at it. Then you found Jasmine's art. She makes pictures of plants and flowers that're very unusual. They are. Turned in ways that people do not usually talk about. The pictures show vines that look like they are holding things down and flowers that are swollen and shiny. There are also people in the pictures who look like they are feeling something

You asked Jasmine to make one picture for you, another and another. You told her you wanted them for study.. Really you just like looking at them. Jasmine does not like you. She says you are a snob who thinks you can buy anything with your money. You say she is being stubborn and wasting her talent just to upset people like you.

When you meet with Jasmine to talk about her art you always argue. You say mean things to each other. You are also attracted to each other. You like the way Jasmine looks when she is angry. Her hair falls in her face. Her lips get tight. You like the way her body moves when she is upset. Jasmine notices that you look at her body more than you look at her art. She sees that you get nervous when she leans in close, to you. You give her money for her art even when it is already perfect.

This is supposed to be a business deal. You are just buying art from Jasmine.. It feels like something more. You keep asking her to make art and you keep arguing with her.. Neither of you wants to stop.
