"Gler-Heima"
This business is quite literally a one-room sun room connected to Ahnka's home which is located on the beach on Affection Atoll. Here you will find a small collection of non-flowering potted plants, several types of baby succulents, and all the ingredients you would need to create your own glass terrarium. Upon request, Ahnka hosts terrarium-making workshops several times a week for groups of 2 or private sessions. Guests are more than welcome to visit any time for advice as well, however there is still a lot she does not know herself.
She does not sell seeds or gardening tools or extra pots, but does have slow-releasing plant food for sale.

🌿 Personality

+ Optimistic / + Lively / + Compassionate // - Naive / - Busybody / - Stubborn

Ahnka is either oblivious to the unwritten rules of society and etiquette or simply does not care, and carries onward doing her own thing, never worrying whether or not others find her strange. She seems to be in touch with something that cannot be put in to words, a strange sort of invisible connection to the trees and wind and soil. This is particularly true for the ocean, which she addresses as 'Inga'.
She treats people and nature equally and with the utmost respect and affection. She holds no bias towards others, and regards each meeting as a special encounter and with an open-mind. Though she enjoys meeting many different people, she believes it is far more important to have a few good friends than to be popular or successful.
She is extremely curious, always wanting to know more, and why, and how, which may sometimes seem obnoxious or pushy to more reserved individuals. She is a notorious busybody and will not hesitate to go out of her way to cheer someone on or congratulate them for any sort of small achievement, or even just to interrupt your solitary reading time to know what the book is titled and what it's about.
She'll notice the little things around her, finding beauty in small details often gone unseen to which she enjoys sharing with others, whether they care or not.
She took to owning a small terrarium shop as she enjoys the small worlds she can create within a confined space. Each product is lovingly crafted with its own look and personality, traits which she then hands over to the new owner to look over them and bring them joy, as if her plants are an extension of her very self.

🌿 History

Ahnka comes from a small and quiet fishing village along the coast of Iceland. Here, technology was minimal, it was cold more often than it was warm, and everything was constantly covered in salt and smelt like fish. Due to the small population, it was a friendly community of families and relatives where everyone knew everything about each other and dinners were often shared in large groups together. It was common for each family to have at least one fisherman, a role in which Ahnka's Father took very seriously. He was a stern and proud man, wearing a face of constant determination, words rarely ever escaping his mouth. However, should he laugh, it could be compared to distant thunder that rolled through every house and boomed within the pits of your stomach. With a strong body and steady arms, he'd pick Ahnka up effortlessly and twirl her about the room, and then once again he'd be sailing off to sea.
Ahnka would lament the time spent without him, watching the sea's horizon patiently for the familiar sight of tall masts to return. However, the sea was no place for a female of her age. It was dangerous and unpredictable, a force to be respected as much as feared. Her duties were with her Mother, caring for the house and for the fields, for she had no other siblings in which to help.

Though the village was without any strict rules or structures relating to religion, most of their bedtime stories originated from Norse Mythology, stories of one-eyed creatures or great Gods that brought down thunder from the clouds. There was one scripture which everyone knew well, the scripture of 'Inga'. “In” is the start of all things, and “Ga” is their end, or so it was told. The older villagers would often refer to the Ocean as ‘Inga’. To them, it was the start of all life and when that life ends, Inga would take it away. Ahnka would only seldom follow this belief until the night that the great storm hit.

She recalls never seeing the sea so angry in her life. It swelled and rolled and spat bullets of water which battered against their house. She recalls the sky like black smoke, throwing down ear-splitting spears of light which tormented the sea further, as if the two forces were at war. She recalls her Father's boat , far out in the center of battle, rising and falling with the waves before finally being engulfed completely. And though she does not recall more, she has been told others saw her rushing to the water and diving in to its dark depths in an effort to reach him. Inga would eventually return an injured Ahnka, but it would take her Father and his crew away with it.

Ahnka's mother would never be the same after loosing her husband to the sea. Remaining close to its shores only brought her misery, there was nothing that did not constantly remind her of him. Once recovered, Ahnka's life would be packed up and taken along with her Mother as she would attempt to flee further in to the cold mountains, far away from the sea. It was there that Ahnka would spend several years in quiet solitude and with an incurable hole within her heart. In time, her Mother would seemingly forget the sound and smell of the ocean, but Ahnka could not and eventually this longing would become unbearable. During the year of her 18th birthday, she would finally leave in search of her own home. Not back to her village, but somewhere further away, somewhere warmer and somewhere happier, and somewhere the ocean was. It would be during this year-long journey that she would discover many things about the world outside her tiny island that would shape the rest of her life.

After two years of life in Raccolto...
It has been almost two years in which Ahnka found and decided to call Raccolto her home. Sticking to the beaches of Affection Atoll, she made a living selling knick-knack items crafted from curious objects she stumbled across while cleaning the beach. She would also fulfill her ambition to finally learn how to fish, in which her diet would mostly consist of it and fruits. Eventually she was able to find herself a more suitable house, one with far too much space for one person, and thus her plant nursery would come to life, a business which would put her sun room to good use. As for why she decided to sell plants, that is a story for another time.
To this day, she still feels a crippling sense of unease when away from the ocean and has trouble straying far from her island and its beach. She can often be found sitting by it's shores talking to it.
