>I'm incredibly curious what her personality would be
A romantic self-bondage enthusiast, who believes the knightmaster to be her fated lover? Hemp's flower language is "destiny, inevitability", and ropemaking was after all the better-known use of the plant for much of its history (apparently, Japanese varieties of hemp are also low in narcotic content, making them only useful for this). You may also want to look into Saffron, who has a pipe, an easygoing personality, and even a connection to clothes through her fashion designer side.

We also an existing representative of the hemp family in Hop, showing that even closely related plants can have vastly different uses. As an aside, umbellifers are especially infamous for this: European water dropwort is a strong poison while the Japanese version is a culinary herb (to the extent that I was surprised at Water Dropwort's benign flower meaning and personality), false parsley is insidious exactly because it resembles any number of edible plants.

Speaking of flower knight wishlists, maybe a star anise with a star-nosed mole pet could be good? If Kiwi can get a kiwi and Pineapple can get an armadillo, surely there's room for other exotic animals in Spring Garden.

She actually looks to be pretty useful, depending on her multipliers, though she doesn't really need mincosting so feel free to just gather the minimum to get her. Her SAW makes her a dedicated tank with high EHP, allowing her to act as a more offensive, short-term Fuuko substitute for people who don't have her, while the taunt on her regular skill is a rare effect that been shown to have value in Glasya-Labolas (a map that oni are inherently well-suited to, thanks to their area attacks). Her AW ability isn't amazing, but could be handy in dedicated youkai teams with their multiple 40+ cost units.
