>sexy blue onee-san
Pingpong Mum here fits that description to a t, and she's a doting mama-type Dutch onee-san too. Too bad she's a serial code character, and there haven't been any other Sasayuki knight for a long while. His prequel series was a treasure and really shouldn't have ended after only two volumes.

>I remember reading before that there was 2 or 3 pick tickets I could get from the whaleship for 2015 characters, I think.
Three for 2015 and one for 2016, yeah. They're a bit pricey, but they should be within your reach once you get a decent whale airship and accumulate some stamina nectar (you might have already, if you've been logging in for random rewards).

>Are there any special maps that I should be aware of/do?
Just the events, the current temporary revival (Ceanothus is a fairly mature girl, you probably won't want to miss her) and sometimes they have special campaigns like this week's set of gold maps. These are the only maps with limited-time rewards, so you want to clear them before they're gone. Be sure to get the event equipment, the rings in particular are very good.

Also keep an eye on the item exchange, you usually want the rainbow skill flower from life crystal exchange, D-medals (at least the 500 cost set) and the cheapest set of second affection items from bond crystals, puchi centis from flower stones (and the slot flowers for the current rainbow if you have gotten/are serious about getting her), at least the second affection items/rainbow skill flower/ampies from whale medals, and ampies from special map medals with every reset. Other items are also good (I usually all but empty the whale shop every time it restocks), but these are the rare and important things that you shouldn't miss out on.

In any case, good luck.

>Truly the greatest of taste.
That it is. It's a blessing to have a glasses-girl drawn by Sasayuki, and Pingpong Mum's personality is flawless too (true to her name, she's a mama-type character who loves you unconditionally and wants to dote on you). Like Dogwood (England), Cresson (France) and Lucky Bamboo (China), she also represents a different nation in Netherlands, and many of her lines are even spoken in Dutch.

>Although, I could probably just burn a few Stamina Potions and use some Keys.
I would advise against that for now, it's probably best to wait for when fairy stages get 30% discounts. There are also expectations about keys being revamped sometime down the road (maybe they'll let us use 5-10 to access ampule-dropping stages after they raise the ampule cap?), so I'm hanging onto mine for now.

FKG used to have a pretty good balance between newly obtained characters and the experience available to raise them, but the rapid-fire addition of blooms created an experience deficit. I guess they're trying to strike a new balance now, as they've been coming up with new sources of experience (keys, Naae, more fairy gifts) and gold (Nidhoggr in particular is a money-printing machine).
