NPC:Rina

From: The Gaiapedia, the community encyclopedia about Gaia Online

Rina was originally the NPC who greeted new Gaians, but more recently her job consists of arranging and selling flowers in Barton Flowershoppe and making bouquets in the Flower Exchange. She often announces new Monthly Collectibles as well as confirms their purchases. Rina also appears when account settings are changed.

Rina is always cheery and full of energy, and Leon is always ready to hide from her.
