rosemary’s respite

  ABOUT THE APOTHECARY. 
       A lifelong lover of alchemy and botany, Thyme Meadows began honing her craft as an herbalist and apothecary at an uncommonly young age, first taking up her mother’s alembic at only thirteen summers. Now with decades of study and hard-earned expertise in field medicine, botany, and alchemy under her belt, she works as an independent apothecary and herbalist from her storefront nestled within the central region of the Black Shroud, a few minutes’ walk from Gridania.
       Inquisitive & scientifically-minded with a true passion for her work, Thyme strives to serve the people of Eorzea through homemade, quality goods and tried-and-true remedies— made special for adventurers and laypeople alike.

  OOC. 
       Thank you for reading! My name is Red, and I'm a lesbian in my 30s based in the Central timezone (UTC-6).
       Rosemary’s Respite is Thyme’s apothecary business, canonically based out of the Shroud. Although I run pop-ups at my FC’s cottage on occasion, Thyme can often be found peddling her wares around Eorzea and the regions beyond; if you see me with my RP tag on, feel free to ask what Thyme’s got in that satchel of hers. (I do not expect IC gil for any trades! OOC tips are welcome, but certainly not expected.)
