Experiencing Interruptions?

Ficusia

There is a banyan tree called Ficusia that grows Spirit Fruit for Flowna.

One day, Ficusia became jealous of another tree that grew more Spirit Fruit and was more popular than hers. De Ka, who knew of Ficusia's jealousy, offered to plant a magic seed called Cu Ta on her body. Ficusia accepted the offer in the hope that she would become more popular among the Flowna by growing more Spirit Fruit. But, instead of producing Spirit Fruit, Cu Ta slowly threatened her life and weakened her body as time went by. Her despair finally overtook her when Ficusia could no longer obtain Cu Ta without realizing that all of this was caused by her own naive desires. Her desire to be the banyan tree that Flowna loved so much led her to her own tragic end.

However, Ficusia's closest friend, Da Ra always warned her about the dangers of her excessive desire, until it came to the point where Da Ra had to help Ficusia overcome the downfall caused by the Cu Ta that she planted.
