It is summer in Konoha, and Ino is working in the Yamanakas' flower shop. Once she has converted, although she will still be going on some missions, she will no longer be able to help Inoichi and Ayame out at weekends, although she isn't quitting the shop for good. She loves it far too much for that.
She surveys the flowers in their pots and cellophane wraps, and wonders what to choose for her Hebrew name. So many Hebrew names come from nature. The animals: Tzipporah, the bird; Ayelet, the deer – she seems to remember Chouji telling her that that was Shikamaru's mother's Hebrew name; Ariella, the lioness. The trees: Tamar, the palm tree, Hadassah, the myrtle, and Shaked, the almond tree. And then the flowers: Dalia; Irit, the daffodil; Marganit, the pimpernel; Vered, the rose; Rakefet, the cyclamen; Sigalit, the violet; and Shoshana, the lily.
She settles on Shoshana for her Hebrew name. As a florist, it's appropriate, and she's always liked lilies. Brought up surrounded by flowers and taught their language, she knows that the white ones stand for purity and innocence, the orange for hatred -plus there's the lily-of-the-valley, the one her mother said always reminded her of Ino, with its white petals. The flower of sweetness. And while Ino isn't particularly innocent, pure or hateful – at least, not these days – choosing a flower that symbolises sweetness for her Hebrew name is kind of apt, because it reminds her of Chouji. Good, kind, sweet-natured Chouji.
