Maomao is the heroine of *The Apothecary’s Notebooks*, a series of light novels written by Natsu Hyuga. Raised by an apothecary in the red-light district, she acquired a very thorough knowledge of medicinal plants, remedies, diseases and, above all, poisons from a very young age.
After being kidnapped and then sold as a servant at the imperial palace, Maomao initially tries to keep a low profile. However, her medical skills and extraordinary powers of observation eventually attract attention when she solves several unexplained incidents involving the concubines and members of the court.
Plants play a significant role in her daily life, both as medicinal ingredients and as potential sources of toxic substances. This theme makes the ‘Garden’ version particularly well-suited to the character, directly reflecting her work as an apothecary and her fascination with all things related to pharmacology.
Pragmatic, curious and with a sense of humour that is often very dry, Maomao stands out from the other palace inhabitants through her intelligence and independence. Her investigations and interactions with Jinshi form the heart of many of the storylines in *The Apothecary’s Notebooks*.
