Basic Info
Florihilda Valerian (or Flora, for short), was born in Little Ala Mhigo, to a pair of Ala Mhigan refugees, who also adopted an abandoned Miqo'te child they named Evandrus. Flora idolized her brother all throughout her childhood, clinging to him incessantly and imitating everything he did. When he ran away from the settlement in search of a better life, she could not bear to stay much longer, herself. Flora ran away to Ul'Dah roughly a year ago, in an attempt to reunite with him. She did not find him, initially, and dreaded returning to Little Ala Mhigo, fearing she'd be labelled an outsider. Her bridges were not entirely burnt, however, and she maintains loose, erratic contact with her people-- though generally only returns to the settlement to run her mother supplies for medicine.
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...

Appearance & Personality
- 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 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 reticent about her personal life. She has a strange habit of speaking of most things as if they're warfare-- but she is emphatically pacifistic.
- 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.
- Flora is not especially vain, and often looks quite dirty and disheveled, 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.
