* I got word that johndoe went with this name. I'd take the opinion of a someone with more interest in botanical taxonomy than myself for names tbh.

...you do know what "John Doe" stands for, right...?

[HydroKirby]

@TribalNugget Yes. And that's probably why johndoe went with his name in the first place.

Well, I should say that I in turn got this name from the Japanese wiki's unimplemented characters page (link goes to a back-up version, since these folks work really fast, and Pot Marigold/Rough Potato entries are gone from the list already). I also can't claim any kind of expertise with plant names, so your take is as good as mine when it comes to event characters with no official names. If it's something that I can't readily recognize, which is more often than not, I just Google it and see what it's called in English.

Speaking of Googling things, it seems that Rough Potato got her fluffball familiars (who are named "Kesaran" and "Pasaran", so no points for guessing what they are) because this is what the plant's seed pods look like, and they have been proposed as one explanation for the kesaran-pasaran phenomenon. As for her Undine impression, it's apparently because the tiny god Sukuna-Hikona is said to have arrived to Japan on a boat made from rough potato pods, so the amount of attention that goes to character design is incredible as usual.

...are you talking about "Operation Marigold"...?

Meanings for the current event's new predictors are on the Wikia at this page.

Due to real life circumstances, it seems unlikely that I'll get much done on the Wikia for the time being. Although the data to represent rarity grown characters is uploaded to the Wikia, making the Lua modules to display them takes a lot of work since it has to be done alongside all the other rarities.

@HydroKirby I have planned to split the stats table module into the following parts:

• Skill
• Stats
• Abilities
• Personal Equipment
• Additional Info (affection item, nation, alternate names and flower language)

Each part has its table, which in turn is rendered by a dedicated module. That's what the imports in parent module are for:

local Skills = require('CharacterStatTable/Skills')
local rawStats = require('CharacterStatTable/Stats')
local Ability = require('CharacterStatTable/Ability')

Rather than having a single module rendering the whole thing like the old Character module, I would have the parent module parse the master data and pass it to its submodules.
The Stats submodule would then parse the stats from it and render the stats table from the data, while the ability part of the table is rendered by Ability and so on.
