SERVICES
The Apothecary provides its customers with varying services; most of which openly advertised upfront. Those services include the following:
Selling medicines and potions. These can either be ones that have been premade or custom ordered. For a custom order, please check in with the proprietor for an estimate on pricing and how long it will take to make.
Professional poison testing services. As someone who is quite familiar with poison, Maomao is willing to check for poison in any item offered for an equivalent price.
Physical check-ups. Diagnoses will be given to customers for free. If the diagnosis is life threatening, medicine will be given for free. For any diagnoses that needs to be handled by a different professional, customers will be directed to the appropriate place.
Selling individual ingredients. All items in the store are also on sale for an appropriate price. Items can either be paid with coin or traded for an item of its equivalent. For the latter, please discuss with the proprietor in making a deal. All items that are considered potentially poisonous or used for lethal methods must be discussed first and sign a waver, as Maomao is not willing to sell to nefarious customers. Wavers will note that the item that the customer is buying is poisonous and will ask for the customer to write down what exactly they are using the items for, so it can be utilized legally in the off chance things go awry.
Medicine and potion crafting station. The Apothecary is a perfect place for those who are learning how to make potions to practice outside of a classroom environment. Customers must either bring their own ingredients or buy ingredients from The Apothecary; they must also sign a waver stating what potion(s) or medicine they are crafting before using the station.
Erotic goods. These will only be sold to those who are 16+ years of age. This mostly consist of potions that can be used for this sort of thing, like aphrodisiacs and the like.

Character
Character Name: Maomao
Canon: The Apothecary Diaries
Canon Point: After the events of chapter 64 (manga)
Age: 17
Height: 163cm (5'0')
Season: Summer
Flower: Bleeding Heart
Network UN: maomao
Other: Apothecary Diaries as a series is a drama/mystery series, and given Maomao's background as an apothecary who comes from the red light district and currently works on the palace grounds with concubines, she comes packaged with several content warnings which include: noncon, underage sex, self harm, poisoning and murder. If any of that bothers you, and you'd like to opt out (either partially or fully) feel free to utilize this post! Same goes for any spoilers, as I am playing her from a canon point that is past the animated content we have so far. I won't bring any of it up without explicit permission from the other player. All comments are screened.
Also: one major thing to note is that Maomao canonically looks drastically different in and out of makeup; by default, she generally has freckles on her face but those who are familiar with makeup and look real closely will notice that they're fake.
Permissions
Backtagging: Of course! If I miss any responses after a week or so, please do not hesitate to message me.
Threadjacking: Generally okay with it in mingles, ask first otherwise!
Fourthwalling: Feel free to recognize the setting and tropes of the place that she's from, but I'd prefer not to have her perceived as a fictional character, thanks.
Mind Reading: Sure.
Touching: Go for it. Just note that she generally has her left arm wrapped in bandages due to her injuries.
Shipping/Kissing: Good fucking luck with that especially as Maomao is hilariously dense in this aspect when it comes to herself in spite of her background, but sure. Let's discuss shipping first, though.
Fighting/Injury: Discuss with me first, please.
Character Death: Discuss with me first, please.
