Basic Info
Very little is know about Gardenia in the real world, though she professes to being a big flower lover. In one of her e-mails she mentions that she visited a green house, but getting depressed because it seemed like the flowers were trapped inside. She also seems to enjoy eating strange types of food, one of her favorites is raw octopus.
History
.hack//Games
Kite first meets Gardenia after he follows a post on the BBS by the Gardenia fan club. The fan club gives him a letter to deliver to Gardenia and he accepts the job. When he encounters Gardenia in the field's dungeon, it is clear that she wants nothing to do with the letter, but Kite pursues anyway. At the bottom level of the dungeon, Kite aids Gardenia in dispatching a monster. Gardenia, impressed by Kite's skill, agrees to accept the letter on the condition that he joins her party whenever she calls.
Gardenia calls Kite to join her in several fields that have flowers for names. In Outbreak, Gardenia calls Kite to another dungeon and talks about how she feels she is like a flower, and how the life of a flower is short. At the bottom of the dungeon, Gardenia says goodbye; Kite takes this the wrong way, believing her to be referring to her life ending soon. Gardenia laughs and reassures Kite that she meant her time in The World is short since she has obligations in the real world, and that she looks forward to joining Kite whenever she has the chance.
