In the core series games
Peonia first met in front of theCrown Tundra Station, arguing withPeony. Spotting theplayer, she asks them tobattle her father. Regardless whether the player wins of loses, Peonia escapes to theMax Lair during the battle. Once the player has completed their firstDynamax Adventure, Peonia appears before them and asks for them to take her place in her father's adventures around theCrown Tundra.
Once the player has completed all of Peony's adventures, Peonia appears inFreezington, ready for an adventure with her father. Peony hastily promises to invent some new legends to explore, which ends up offending Peonia and causes her to return to the Max Lair.

In the manga

Peonia debuted inBoom!! Reunion in a New Land. She traveled to theCrown Tundra hoping to try outDynamax Adventures, only for her overbearing fatherPeony to demand they participate in a father-daughter tour of the area. While on a train, Peonia encounteredHop,Bede, andMarnie, whom she asked keep her hidden. They agreed, but upon noticing Peony's resemblance toRose, Bede's dedication to the chairman led him to exposing Peonia. Later, Peony agreed to a battle with Marnie with Peonia's freedom on the line. Marnie eventually won, allowing Peonia to leave and challenge theMax Lair.
InMunch Munch!! The Mysterious Carrot, Peonia returned and agreed to join Peony, Bede, andHenry on the adven-tours, much to her father's delight. Later that night, a horrified Peonia found her father's body suddenly floating in the air. Bede explained that Peony was possessed byCalyrex, the King of Bountiful Harvests, so that it could communicate with humans. Peonia, Henry, and Bede agreed to help restore Calyrex to its former glory in order to obtain the missingRusted Sword. Together, the group tried reuniting Calyrex with its former loyal steed,Spectrier. With theBlack Mane Hair collected from Spectrier and theRadiant Petal Calyrex made, Henry forged theReins of Unity.
InRumble!! The Darkest Day Returns, Peonia and the others lured Spectrier to theCrown Shrine, but they were interrupted by aGigantamaxedCorviknight andButterfree. Realizing theDarkest Day had restarted, Peonia, Bede, Henry, and Peony fought off the rampaging giants. With the reins, Calyrex reforged its bond with Spectrier and changed into itsShadow Rider form, allowing it to find and retrieve the Rusted Sword. Later, Peonia and Calyrex said their farewells to Henry and Bede as they returned to the Galar mainland.
