I thought that she was mean and stand-offish at first, but then I got to know her and found out that she's really a somewhat shy, beautiful soul. She's a bit of a [wallflower] if you ask me.

7. (wallflower) (240↑, 128↓)
Perennial plant native to southern Europe, bearing fragrant yellow and orange flowers. The name is derived from the fact that the plant, when naturalized to a region, is often found growing out of the nooks and crannies in an old wall, or a cliff. The natural tendency for this plant to separate itself from the other denizens of a formal garden, and grow in isolated locations, doubtless led to the use of the term "wallflower" to describe an anti-social, or shy individual, who lingers in the background, against the wall, as it were, at social occasions.

The heady fragrance of wallflowers growing on the embankment wafted up to me.

8. (Wallflower) (74↑, 12↓)
Someone who chooses to observe, instead of experience life. They know a lot about people, what they are truthfully like, how they actually act when they think no one is paying attention. Since people have little interest in wallflowers, they usually know a lot about people. The good and the bad. Wallflowers are not mean, or impolite. They are usually pleasant, and respectful- just shy and/or introverted. Nontheless, people tend to use the word "wallflower" negatively. What a shame.

The shy girl, or guy in high school that blends in- no one really knows them, but they always seem to be there, in the background. Teacher- "Pass that paper to Jane." Student- "Who's Jane?" Teacher- "The girl that's been sitting two seats behind you all year. She's almost in all your classes." Student thinks to himself- "It's not my fault she's a wallflower."

10. (Wallflower) (12↑, 4↓)
A person, normally in high school, who knows/sees everything that goes on around them, but doesn't say a word about them. They go unnoticed as if they don't belong. Yet if you were to talk to them, you could tell them every single thing and they would not judge you, not one bit.

He's a [wallflower]. You see things, you keep quiet about them. And you understand.
