Background
During her childhood, Orchidea was the outcast of the Village. While the other Children, and most adults were afraid or disgusted by Monsters, Orchidea was interested in them and wanted to learn as much as possible About all known Monsters. Her parents, Cactaro Loohikarm and Purnia Loohikarm, were hunters. Orchidea never understood Why they wanted to kill Monsters. She often argued About that with her parents. When she turned 16, a Deviljho attacked her Village during a rampage. Allthough her parents and the other hunters managed to repel it, Cactaro was killed during the attack. Orchidea swore to Research everything she could About Monsters and explore every last part of both continents. She then travelled to Astera to join the fifth fleet.

In Astera, she studied Monsters and became a Researcher for the Guild. She explored the New World, until Gitanoschelone awoke, revealing the hidden world. Together with her companions, the Plant Researcher Monilus, the Animal Researcher Phragmita, the Ressource Researcher Digitto, and the Elder Dragon Researcher Solanco, aswell as the hunter and their Partners were sent to explore this new, undiscovered section of the New World.

During an Expedition to Snowfall Tundra, Orchidea found an Egg, belonging to an unknown Monster. She takes the egg with her, until she is attacked by the Mother, but the hunter defends her. When they get home, Orchidea builds an improvised nest and tries to get the egg to hatch. After a while, it does, and an Oxalice hatches. Orchidea takes care of the Little Monster, until she Releases the Monster, named Frostbite, into the wild, after it had grown up.
