Basic Info
- Florihilda Valerian (or Flora, for short), was born in Little Ala Mhigo, to a pair of Ala Mhigan refugees. When she became more and more curious about the world outside the settlement's walls, she stowed away on a merchant carriage to Ul'Dah-- and 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, as kindly as they were. They seem perplexed, still, that she came and left so abruptly.
- She now lives in The Goblet, after somehow 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, etc.
- 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 sensitive to the idea of violence as a means to establish dominance or authority. Her respect is not won by those who coerce it. 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. Though she's often tried to grow her hair out, in the past, she quickly becomes discouraged at how hard it becomes to take care of.
- Her sight is not especially sharp-- she will often squint when examining things, as if she has an awful time seeing. She carries a pair of glasses, but these are rarely if ever put to use.
- Flora's capable of justifying some idiotic, reckless actions in the name of honour and duty, and it's very hard to talk her out of anything she's decided to throw herself at. She has trouble stopping to rest, once she's motivated herself to do something, and has recently developed awful insomnia as a result. It's not uncommon to see her wandering around alone at bizarre hours of the night.
- She often gets quite irate, if her honesty is called into question, and has very little patience for needlessly cynical people. Cynicism equals weakness, to her, and she's quick to belittle people for "harming morale."
- She is rarely spotted in anything but a set of weathered peisteskin armour. Formerly, she hardly ever left home in anything else, though recently she's cared less and less about what she's clad in.
- Her family is incredibly important to her, and she often feels homesick for them. However, she often feels a fear or dread of returning to them.
- Her guilty pleasure is collecting perfumes, which she never actually feels justified wearing.
: Some things your character might know if they're from Little Ala Mhigo:
- 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 questioning and disregarding orders. It is unknown if she left the resistance on her own accord, or if she was made to leave. She remains closed-mouthed about the matter, even years later, and has never even provided a straight answer to her daughter, who certainly assumes her mother's actions were justifiable, whatever they were. Anneliese currently resides in a tent in Little Ala Mhigo, where she furnishes the settlement's shamans with medicine for rituals, and has a reputation for being a particularly prickly neighbor.
- Flora's father, Klaus Valerian, is a poet and playwright-- Far better known for his writings and prose than any of his martial contributions. During the fall of Ala Mhigo, the vast majority of his life's work was destroyed, having been deemed "Rhalgrist propaganda." He fled Gyr Abania prior to the siege, after learning there were orders for his execution, and did not hear from his betrothed, Anneliese, until they met again in Thanalan years afterward. Klaus can still recite dozens upon dozens of the lost compositions from memory, a fact that he prides himself on, and he is much of the reason for his daughter's fervent faith in Rhalgr. He resides in Litlle Ala Mhigo, currently, and is often tasked with foraging for medicinal herbs by his demanding, disagreeable wife. He's rumoured to be working on a new book of poetry.
- Flora herself was an exceptionally quiet and obedient child, never out of a few fulms' reach from her parents unless she'd snuck away to sleep at the foot of the stone of Rhalgr. She was especially timid, and never interacted much with other children, though she was often seen running errands for her mother.
