Doesn't her name in Japanese mean flower?
Oleander is also a flower, a poisonous plant that harms like it heals. But it is a plant that once gave hope to people, and gave them the strength to move on, to live on.
Oleander bloomed when no signs of possible life were seen, proving one can live in any environment if one is persistent enough.
Her mother had told her the story of Oleander, the official plant of the Japanese city of Hiroshima; and now her mother wants her to bloom in the deserts of her homeland, away from her father and her old life. She wants her to bloom in unfamiliar surroundings, with people she barely knows that her mother calls family, and far away from everything she had ever known as home.
With a broken-hearted mother, a faraway father and a confused identity, the Oleander has to struggle with more hardships and yet bloom.

I am not the Crazy One! (Oshi No Ko FanFic) DNF
"I would not call what I do acting out." Amethyst Hoshino A young man was enjoying the summer sun, taking a break form grueling hours at work. He took out his phone to check X. Cardin Ace was apparently in town. Maybe if he finished early he could catch the tail end of the speech. He walked back into the building and to his office. Leaning back in his chair he looked out the window. He did not have time to think as the bomb exploded instantaneously vaporizing the flag of the United States that hung right outside his office. It is an odd sensation to be vaporized. It is also odd to be alive again. (Fanfic I do not own Oshi No Ko obviously)Complete
