I was honestly surprised at how little they used Plumeria as well, in the demo they seemed to be building up her character a bit as she appears in it and has a decently memorable moment. Then we get to the games and she feels almost completely thrown in there as she barely interacts with her team (especially Guzma) despite the whole "stop messing with my siblings!" thing, we get very little on her backstory compared to the rest of the Team (even the grunts), her first battle (and thus, impression within the game) lacks connection to the Team's activities at the time and it's immediately followed by Olivia who had much more plot relevance at the time so she got overshadowed, and she pretty much disappears after Lillie's kidnapping and they barely (if ever) explain why she wasn't there at the Aether Foundation. She does feel like a step up above the Scientist since at least she has more of a character, but she still lacked presence like them as the story doesn't do too much with her, and it's pretty disappointing as what we do get of her does imply she had something to contribute to it if she was given that time and focus.
