Merrilee

Microlore: She breeds exotic plants and sells them to the highest bidder. Hybrids are her bread and butter, but on some occasions she has been known to part with a species specimen for the right price. She knows her stuff, too, and can differentiate between similar cultivars with ease and conviction.

Plants are all she knows, however, as she has difficulty with reading, and everything she has learned has been from the words of other experts. She does not feel she is missing much, as if she needs to read a book, she hires someone to read it aloud to her while she goes about her business in her greenhouses. After all, she'll need the information somehow, and there's no shame in using what you need to achieve your goals.

She holds more sway than some may think, given that she is, for intents and purposes, a glorified florist, but she knows exactly the way to force a bloom from the favorite plants of the aristocracy, and she is handsomely compensated for it.
