Basic Info
- Florihilda Valerian (or Flora, for short), was born in Little Ala Mhigo, to a pair of Ala Mhigan refugees. When her older brother ran away from the settlement in search of a better life, she couldn't bear to stay much longer, herself-- and, thus, left at the age of 16 to fend for herself in the city.
- She took up work as a caravan guard, once arriving in Ul'Dah, serving under a Lalafellin merchant, Tanpopo. She was kept for a good while by he and his wife, in their home. It seems, though, that she no longer works for these folk.
- She now lives in The Goblet, after apparently being hired on as a hostess at Rendezvous Host Club. This does not explain her habit of travelling for days and days at a time, of course, and so there must be something else she's doing. She's unerringly cryptic about it, whatever it is.

Appearance, Personality, and Other Tidbits
- A staunch idealist with a strong sense of duty, she is hardly ever away from her "work," whatever that may be at the given time. The only time she is known to visit taverns is when she is "scouting," a term she is reluctant to define.
- Flora is of a quiet, sensitive sort of bearing, and rarely seems especially talkative, though she can be an earnest and empathetic listener. She is friendly, once approached, but often seems a bit guarded about her personal life unless she is particularly comfortable. She's very much a wallflower, at social gatherings.
- She has a habit of speaking of most things as if they're warfare-- but she is emphatically against violence as a display of dominance or authority. She has a strong distaste for those who parade around their martial skills as if that's the only thing they've got. She has not had an especially good record with Miqo'te men, and tends to assume they all act in this way.
- She is wary of flirtatious men and women, and dislikes any sort of lewd speech or behaviour. She's known to react with exceptionally vicious words, if she feels her pride is being insulted by such advances. She doesn't like being treated like a piece of meat, period.
- Flora is not especially vain, and often looks quite dirty and disheveled, particularly if she's been on the road for a few days. Her hair is quite coarse and dry in texture, and it often seems wild and unmanageable-- her bangs nearly always hang in front of her eyes. Her sight is not especially sharp, anyway-- she will often squint when examining things, as if she has an awful time seeing.
- Flora's justified some idiotic, reckless actions in the name of honour and duty, and it's likely she'll not be calming down anytime soon. She has trouble stopping to rest, once she's motivated herself to do something, and has recently developed awful insomnia as a result.
- She often gets quite irate, if her honesty is called into question, and has very little patience for needlessly cynical people.
- She is rarely spotted in anything but weathered peisteskin armour.
- Her family is incredibly important to her. However, she seems to be going through a bit of a rough patch with her brother in particular.
- Her guilty pleasure is collecting perfumes, which she never actually wears.
- Flora's mother, Anneliese Valerian (nee Bonesetter), was a medic in the Ala Mhigan Resistance, and was well-regarded for her clarity of mind and stout heart-- unfortunately, she also had a reputation for disregarding orders. It is unknown if she left the resistance on her own accord, or if she was kicked out.
- Flora's father, Klaus Valerian, is better known for his writings and prose than any of his martial contributions, but the vast majority of his life's work was destroyed during the Siege of Ala Mhigo. He can still recite dozens upon dozens of the lost compositions from memory, though, a fact that he prides himself on.
