The mortal Petals Around the Rose was a quiet, meek woman born and raised in Hollow, working as a janitor. Most adults simply gave up on her after realizing that her intelligence was lacking, and most didn't even think the girl held the potential for anything greater than the profession she had, let alone a Sidereal Exaltation. Most overlooked her, period, thinking that without a thought of her own, nothing would remain. That was just fine for the big, tall woman, who was happy to be left alone. She cleaned and tended and simply listened. She treasured everything she learned, rolling it in her empty mind as she worked and lived. Petals was just the janitor, after all. She never talked.
Which surprised everyone when the girl approached a Solar openly one day and lit her Caste mark, only hours old, as she meekly informed him of a forming Yozi cult she found that consisted of almost everyone in her place of work. The Bureau was very unsettled at the discovery that Radiant Emerald Skies, one of Creation's leading Savants, had died at the hands of a demon and that Petals was completely his opposite in brilliance. She trained and matured, not fully sure of herself, Exalted or not, until she was introduced to a fellow Exalted, a Dawn Caste by the name of Evan, the Crimson Guard.
The two weren't exactly inseparable, as both were young Exalted learning about the world, but whenever it was possible, the two would spend their time together, the Dawn assisting the Secrets in learning the art of archery and firewands, while she tried her best to act as a Vizier to him. It was obvious to most of the Chosen that the two were likely to marry, and in fact, Evan's Zenith circlemate had hinted at wanting to preside over that event.
There are still records in the Lute about their relationship, happy memories and letters. But all of those are sealed away, along with the very name Petals was born with Petals. A woman who had taken the name Tear-Streaked Blossom sealed it all away in silence, an event that happened days after the Usurpation and the disappearance of the Crimson Guard. Now Blossom serves the Night Sky Regime as a sniper, using a weapon that is almost never seen, and as a sorcerer. For the most part, she does her work efficiently, but there is something lacking. The Regime is sure of her loyalties, at least.
