Flora Black Sword and Fist About Name Flora Black Alias 'Wasp' Age 24 Gender Female Race Hyur Clan Midlander Orientation Heterosexual Marital Single Deity Nald'thal Nationality Ul'dah Occupation Fencing Instructor Alignment Chaotic Good SummaryPersonalityRelationshipsRumorsOOCCredit The Black family had lived in Vesper Bay for as long as anyone cared to remember, scraping together a meager living through backbreaking work. As the first of five children, Flora always felt a sense of responsibility for her siblings. She took strongly after her mother, Lisa, and imitated her outgoing and brash demeanor. Although they were born into poverty, the Black children were happy with their upbringing. They were blissfully unaware of the world around them and spent their golden days on the bay's shore. Nothing could stay the same forever, and Flora's nostalgic memories of her childhood were tainted by the Calamity. The great disaster deprived her father, Eddie, of his livelihood and forced the family to take refuge in Ul'dah. Without any gil to his name, Eddie couldn't possibly pay off his exorbitant debts. Collectors harassed the family constantly, culminating in a shouting match between Lisa and a pair of Lalafell. Displeased with their inability to pay, Eddie's shylock decided it was time to collect the debt. The Black family was forced into servitude, working at the Lalamena Estate until their debtor, Jojoriku Lalamena, decided that the debt was repaid - never, ideally. Scars & Markings: A thin bragging scar contours the width of her cheek, extending to the back of her neck and clearly visible in profile. Voice: Deep and flat, with a well-practiced refinement in polite company. She sometimes slips back into her peasant parlance when comfortable. Clothing: Varied and mediocre, usually following whatever fashion trend is popular among Ul'dah's upper class. Burgundy, bordeaux, and black are common colors. She carries a straight sword at her side when permitted.

NPC The Black Parents ( ♥♥ ) ( NPC ) - Mother and Father Even though her father, Eddie, sunk the family into great debt, Flora never blamed him for their own captivity. As a child, Flora took strongly to her mother, Lisa, who was once a soldier. Lisa was Flora's first mentor, and she still feels a strong compassion for her today. Much of Flora's persona is modeled after her mother's confident and brash demeanor. The Black Brothers ( ♥♥ ) ( NPC ) - Little Brothers Out of the five Black children, Flora was the only daughter. As the oldest, she was their 'leader' by default. Today, although their relationship is rocky, Flora feels immensely protective of her younger brothers. Her brothers, from oldest to youngest, are: Marcel, Declan, Ricard, and Oscar. Jojoriku Lalamena ( ♠♠ ) ( NPC ) - Shylock Debtor As a child, Flora always suspected that their was something fishy about Jojoriku, a merchant who kept tabs on her father. After the Calamity, when the Black family was forced into indentured servitude, she grew to hate him. Jojoriku later forced Flora to fight on the bloodsands to pay her family's debt, and Flora's hate bloomed into animosity. Today, Flora would gladly poke a hole through his lung if she thought she could get away with it. The Ul'dah Coliseum ( ♠ ) ( LOC ) - Spectator Blood Sport Flora's relationship with the bloodsands is complex in her mind. She once stood the sands as a gladiator, but refuses to step foot near it today. Deep down, she feels an immense disgust for the Coliseum, thinking of it as a 'blood sport.' Although the Coliseum molded Flora into the woman she is today, she refuses to ever return to them.

Please feel free to add your own rumors under the PC category! NPC . ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "Ol' Eddie Black? I paid his father by the hour, and I paid him too... 'til he ran off, anyways. We used to be pretty good gamblin' buddies, but he just ran off during the Calamity, I guess. Wonder what he's up to these days..." - Lalafell Quartermaster ■ "There was a Lisa in our company, but she wasn't a Black. Can't remember her name for the life of me... Not like she was very well-liked, anyways. Lieutenant was always makin' us do push-ups on account of her falling asleep at her post!" - Ul'dahn Veteran ■ "Used to call herself 'the wasp' on the bloodsands, on account of her sting. Her style was nothin' special, so she never got too many fans, but her thrust was deadly!" - Coliseum Spectator ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "Used to be a bit of a day drinker, from what I heard. She'd come in, order a few bottles and get piss wasted, and then go pass out in some alley or somethin'. Haven't seen her at this hole in a while, at least... You didn't hear it from me, alright?" - Ul'dahn Barfly ■ "Jojoriku.... Lalamena... Not much dirt on him, standard merchant's fare. Got filthy rich off of some shady construction projects, then bought a real nice estate out in Hammerlea. They say he's got a ton of 'servants,' but... who doesn't, am I right?" - Bazaar Rumormonger ■ "Lalafell gave 'er that scar outside the arena, don'tcha know? She said somethin' nasty about his height, so he paid her for her trouble. Didn't say nothin' nasty after that!" - Friendly Bum ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard.
