An energetic messenger.
She believes that the purpose of work is to improve one's quality of life, and that shopping is the best way to improve her life.
She isn't hung up on money, but she does enjoy living paycheck-to-paycheck while jumping on opportunities to make a quick profit. She can often be seen hawking goods in various places.
Archive File 2
Messengers usually get two kinds of work: Delivering mail and messages, or transporting cargo.
The former requires speed; the latter, strength and endurance. In Penguin Logistics, Croissant was an obvious stand-out in the latter.
Also notable, Croissant is extraordinarily strong even for a Forte. Swinging a hefty hammer in one hand while carrying a heavy shield in the other is as simple as breathing to her.

While not a big operation, Penguin Logistics is well-connected at all levels in Lungmen.
Thus, taking advantage of the channels back home, Croissant's irregular hawking ventures could be a treasure trove that just might offer rarities you wouldn't find anywhere else.
Of course, don't let Croissant know if you did spot a valuable item, or she will wring your wallet.
Archive File 4
Even as an Operator, Croissant has no plans to give up her hobbies and interests.
She knows an Operator will face unprecedented danger and see many unfortunate events. Nevertheless, she is still a city girl who counts her pennies.
Maybe Rhodes Island recruits civilian Operators because they're not jaded and thus fearless, but it's definitely not because they should be exposed to the cruelty of the real world. It's more like Rhodes Island have many unfortunate people who needed someone as adorable as Croissant to show them what a normal, blissful life is like.
Of course, the unfortunate or hateful may begrudge the blessed, but at least it never happens at Rhodes Island.

Module record
3rd
Skies all clear today in Lungmen. Went shopping with Sora, passed by a regular gear shop and stumbled on this alloy part pack, discount. Impulse bought a whole bunch. Ugh... purse bleeding out. Heart too.
7th
Shone the whole dang day, might of blown a thermometer, but they got this new flavor of pastry in at my favorite street stall. Lined up an hour and a half in the blazing sun, belly burnt red. Used some ointment from Sora and it worked real well, stopped hurting before I even went to bed.
10th
All clouds. Purchased a new umbrella. Savings blown, be eating instant noodles all next month. Would of been frugal some the past few days if I knew. Got some left over for a rainy day anyway.
17th
Cloudy but turned clear. Red-braised rib flavor instant noodles taste pretty dang good. Could eat for a whole week without getting sick!
20th
Clear but turned cloudy. Ate all the red-braised rib ones, just tamagoyaki chive flavor left. It's fine, but I can barely get it down.
23rd
I'm all out of instant noodles... not one pot left. Thank all goodness for Texas sharing her cookies. Swear to my starving eyes, for an instant she had holy light beaming round her face.
24th
Storming!! Sunny like heaven when I got up. Pedestrians all walked by my umbrella stand, none of them turned an eye, all kept walking. But gloomy clouds rolled in and everyone got caught right out. Drenched to the bone! And I sold out of umbrellas basically instantly. Score!
Killer profits like that don't grow on trees. Should save it at the bank, play the long game. Always had an idea tucked deep in my heart, get an emporium of my own, right here in Lungmen.
Maybe time to get started on that. Little sum like this seems like nothing compared to the sky-high rent in Lungmen, but it's a solid start.
31st
New combat boots out, my favorite brand. Shouldn't of done it. Act rash and now nothing but regret. Maybe... Should spend a night reflecting proper on my deeds. I must be a terrible sight when greed goes straight to my head. Life's tough...
1st
Hey, new combat boots come in real handy! Might of hurt my heart to spend so much, but was worth it. Not a waste, not one bit!
