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, 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.

• 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.

RUMORS Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "None of us are any of your concern. Got it? Bugger off." -- A haughty young man in Little Ala Mhigo, swaggering about with a sword on his hip ■ "I don't care if you've got business with her or not-- we protect our own, around here. Ask me again and I'll run you through, do you hear me?!" -- An adolescent girl brandishing a skinning knife in Little Ala Mhigo ■ "There's some Hyur girl in peisteskin who rides through this pass fortnightly, on a green chocobo. Probably Ala Mhigan, but I've not seen her cause any trouble, with mine own eyes-- so I've let her be." -- a Wood Wailer stationed in South Shroud ■ "That's the Highlander girl I saw camped out in the forest a few moons ago. I offered her food and a place to rest, but she spat on me and called me a 'patronizing whoreson.' So, yes, there's that." -- Elezen man, Alder Springs ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "That's one of Rendezvous' hostesses-- Eden's what she goes by there. Doesn't seem polished, compared to what you'd think a hostess would be, but she's still young, yet. Still, a very nice girl! If you get the chance, you should go and see her." -- Resident of The Goblet's 8th Ward ■"Flora? Tall, blonde, young-looking? That's one of the 'Mhigans Tanpopo used to have as a caravan guard, isn't it? We see her around here sometimes, but she won't talk much about work, or what she's up to. Typical, though, with those folk-- likely involved with the Ala Mhigan Resistance, I'd wager. That's how it generally goes." -- Merchant at Highbridge ■ "If that's what Ul'Dah makes you into, I'm happy enough to sit here in the settlement and starve to death! At least, then, I would die with my pride intact!" -- An angry youth in Little Ala Mhigo ■"Yeah-- Florihilda? I know her; why do you care? She's not gone and gotten herself killed, has she? She's not the brightest girl. I imagine she's up to all kinds of nonsense there in the city. You see her stroll in here sometimes, well-fed and made-up-- I'll bet you an aldgoat's leg she's working for one of those bawdy houses." -- A middle-aged woman in Little Ala Mhigo ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "I won't tell you again, Anneliese. She's only going to do what she wants to do. She and her brother both." -- A one-legged, haggard-looking man in Little Ala Mhigo, arguing with his wife ■ "I tell you this-- that girl came in, stared down one of our customers for nearly ten minutes, and then cornered them and started rambling about 'stars,' and 'marks,' and 'destiny.' It was perfectly terrifying to watch-- she's certainly mad, I think, or involved in some cult." -- Barmaid, Buscarron's Druthers ■ "She is a good, sweet girl, I tell you. She is a good, loyal soul. You give her a reason to care, and she'll break her back trying to prove her worth to you." -- Wife of an Ul'Dahn merchant, tatting lace in the shade. ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■ "What? Flora? Did you see her? If she asks for me, tell her I'm not around." -- Evandrus Valerian ■ "Flora is a wonderful sister. I'm envious of her brother. I wish I could've had a sister like her. Not sure Evandrus deserves her, to be honest, but don't tell her I said that." -- Ru Tarkan ■ ■
