Basic Info

Flora Valerian 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 a traitor or an outsider. Her bridges were not entirely burnt, however, and she maintains loose, erratic contact with her people, often working with the Flames to run supplies back and forth to the settlement. Tending to her brother's well-being is still her primary concern, though, and she often feels torn between these two extremes.

LIKES ■ Uldahn food ■ Cactuars ■ Colourful clothing, makeup and jewelry ■ Kissing her brother on the face ■ A sense of belonging

DISLIKES ■ Being told what to do, or what to believe ■ Insects, especially flying ones ■ Feeling like an outsider

OTHER ■ Alignment: Chaotic Good ■ Vice(s): Pride/Envy ■ Favorite Food: Antelope Steak ■ Favorite Drink: Sweet Thanalan Tea ■ Favorite Color: Apple Green

Appearance & Personality

A very tall Highlander woman, whose height makes her seem older than she actually is. People are often surprised to hear such a childish voice and mannerisms coming from her, but she's only seventeen or so. Though she likes to claim she's quite acclimated to life in the city (and often boasts that she's "almost perfectly Uldahn"), she's still unused to many parts of it, like the crowds and general social norms.

She is wary of men who are not Evandrus, and dislikes any sort of lewd speech or behaviour. For better or for worse, though, her trust is somewhat easily won.

Her hair and makeup tend to change quite often, as she's a bit of a spendthrift when it comes to her personal appearance. Her guiltiest pleasure is jewelry. Flora's hair is most often some shade of pale green, with pink streaks, though it may be blonde naturally.

Miscellaneous

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) ■ "She seems nice enough, but what was all of that about marrying her brother, huh? Weird." -- Quicksand Patron ■ "Yeah, Flora? She comes back every once in a while, wearin' perfumes and jewels, brainless as she always was-- and she has the nerve to push all that Ul'Dahn medicine on us. If that's what Ul'Dah makes you into, I'm happy enough to sit here and starve." -- An angry youth in Little Ala Mhigo ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "I try to tell her, 'Nobody's going to care how cute you are in a fight,' but she always comes in all painted up like a dancing girl, regardless. So, I don't think she's a very serious student. She strikes me as someone who cares more about style than substance." -- Chuchuto, Ul'Dah Pugilist's Guild ■ "Who, what? Flora? I don't even know who that is. And I've certainly never been punched in the jaw by her, for insulting her brother or anything! W-wait, you weren't going to ask about that? Oh, what a relief!" -- Wilred of the Falling Petal, Little Ala Mhigo ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "She's only going to do what she wants to do. She's like her brother, in that way." -- A one-legged, miserable-looking man in Little Ala Mhigo ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■ ■ ■ ■

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Acquaintance      ● Poor Standing ♥ Evandrus Valerian - The dearest person in the world to Flora; her adopted brother. She will often say that she is in love with him, and she doesn't seem to find anything strange about that statement. She is overprotective and somewhat suffocating to him-- and realizes it!-- but sees it as evidence of her love for him. She claims they will be wed someday, but this is doubtful, as Evandrus is disgusted and embarrassed by the notion. ● Seiko Mamushi - One of the hostesses at the club, a Doman refugee. Flora adores her, and always looks forward to seeing more of her. ♥ Noes Arcwright - A miqo'te boy who wandered into the host club one day. She admires him for his passionate, forthcoming way of speaking, and often goes entirely out of her way to help him on his journeys. She may "like" him, a tiny bit, an idea that makes her uncomfortable. ● Yattaru Thetaru - a kind, elderly lalafell Dragoon with many exciting stories to share. Flora has dubbed him "the best old man ever." ♥ Raimondaux Rouchet - One of the people who recruited Flora into the host club, Raimy has become a sort of surrogate uncle-figure to her.
