Biography

Named after the genus for bananas, this little one is an XXY out of a VERY unlikely pair! I love her ;v;

Her cat's name is Rusty and he puts Terrence in his place a lot but they're bros.


Musa works with Cynthis, her long time girlfriend and business partner. Of course, Musa makes smoothies instead of milkshakes and is SIGNIFICANTLY quieter than her companion. When Musa first came to TLoMR she and Cynthis had somewhat of a comical marketplace rivalry over the 'popularity' of their respective concoctions. That was until Felicity took full advantage of the situation and, true to matchmaker form, actually managed to get them to talk to each other. Things started off slowly with the pair forming a business partnership and fusing their two beverage shops together, but escalated after Cynthis asked Musa out on a date. They've been happy ever since.

360px-Starr_050826-4195_Musa_sp..jpg Musa is one of two or three genera in the family Musaceae; it includes bananas and plantains. Around 70 species of Musa are known, with a broad variety of uses.

Though they grow as high as trees, banana and plantain plants are not woody and their apparent "stem" is made up of the bases of the huge leaf stalks. Thus, they are technically gigantic herbs.

Musa species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including the giant leopard moth and other Hypercompe species, including H. albescens (only recorded on Musa), H. eridanus, and H. icasia.

The genus Musa was first named by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The name is a Latinization of the Arabic name for the fruit, mauz (موز). From the time of Linnaeus until the 1940s, different types of edible bananas and plantains were given Linnaean binomial names, such as Musa cavendishii, as if they were species. In fact, edible bananas have an extremely complicated origin involving hybridization, mutation, and finally selection by humans.

Most edible bananas are seedless (parthenocarpic), hence sterile, so they are
propagated vegetatively. The giving of species names to what are actually very complex, largely asexual, hybrids (mostly of two species of wild bananas, Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana) led to endless confusion in banana botany. In the 1940s and 1950s, it became clear to botanists that the cultivated bananas and plantains could not usefully be assigned Linnean binomials, but were better given cultivar names.
