About
Pinecone used to just be a short little housewife at only 145cm, raising two kids, running a grocery store with her husband, suffering domestic abuse yet trying and failing to seek help. That is, until one day, she was approached by government agents giving her an offer she can't refuse.
Her kids would be guaranteed spots at Bauhinia's top institutions and offered comfortable and well-paid jobs, but Pinecone herself would also be working a secret job that forbids her from seeing her children in person again. She will be trained adequately in her new job. They have been watching her for quite a while and they know she can do it.
Pinecone had to agree. She was then taken to a plastic surgeon, hairdresser, and all that; and by the time she got out she looked no longer like herself, but rather like… the president of Bauhinia, Kismet. She even had a throat implant that changed her voice to his.
That was the job. She would stand in for him during public appearances. Otherwise, she had all the time to herself, though she could not leave the government building nor contact anyone outside, except for calling her kids each once a week, and she had to strictly not mention her job to them. Her younger child, Firecrackers, couldn't even be called at all because he's mute so even if she did call him, he couldn't say anything over the phone. She just left voice messages.
Pinecone is grateful. She is living in a fancy palace and has delicious and nutritious meals every day. Though, sometimes the fear of fucking up and causing an international scandal got too great and she was scared of facing the numerous cameras and journalists. But then, Rosemary will always be there to comfort her.
This is the best job in the world; you're lucky. Other people wouldn't dream of getting it.

The president of Bauhinia got immortality. Now he can't show his face. Help!
Relationships
Firecrackers (son)
Firecrackers barely remembered Pinecone, as she was gone when he was 6, and hasn't contacted him since. He might as well not have a mother. His sister convinced him that Pinecone was in jail.
Kismet (boss, technically)
Pinecone doesn't really know about the things Kismet had done, and she doesn't care. They are matters of the state, and that's not in her hands.
Rosemary (handler)
Pinecone and Rosemary got along well. Pinecone genuinely trusts Rosemary.
Tsunami (daughter)
Tsunami was the only one who kept in contact with Pinecone after her departure. She is convinced that her mom is in jail, considering her phone call schedule and her refusal to tell her what she's really doing.
