Flora was birthed from a Weeping Willow outside of the great walls of Home. Unfamiliar with the world around her she had no knowledge of the growing hatred for all things magical by what she calls the mundanes. She brushed off most things that happened to her, a rock tossed her way, insults, the general cold shoulder. That was until the acts became increasingly violent.
It was then that Flora made her escape from the outside world to a place called Home that a kind old mundane, who felt much pity for the young dryad, had told her about. For the first time Flora was around so many wonderful magical beings and beauty. She explored ever permissible place and found that she loved the overgrown Hall of Dead Kings with it's variety of plant life.
Flora loves Home and has no problem following the rules. Though if someone were to open her eyes to the way Cain truly rules his kingdom she would join the rebellion in an instant, only problem would be actually getting her to see Cain for what he really was.
Flora is a gentle soul with an easy breezy outlook on life. Come what may she'll take things in stride. Never quick to anger she prefers to try and solve all issue rationally and without raising her voice.
Flora does her best to see the good in everyone because she firmly believes that even in the darkest of souls there is a small flicker of light that only needs a bit off nurturing to become a raging inferno that lights the soul from within.
She has a tendency to be very motherly towards others and is often sought out by those needing comfort. Be it an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on Flora tries to be there in any way for the ones she loves.
While she isn't one who is easily angered that doesn't mean she never gets angry and just because she's easy going don't think she never feels pain or sadness. You'll always know when she is feeling either because the plants around her will either grow as if they are trying to take over all that is around them or they will wither away even in the brightest of sunshine.
Flaws
- Fails to see peoples faults or if she does see them she doesn't see how bad they really are.
- Forgives people too easily.
- She's very clumsy.
Talents
- Has the ability to meld with any tree.
- Can use trees to travel in a matter of minutes by stepping into one then out of another at a location of her choice.
- Flora can make plants grow instantly and if she wishes they can be much larger or smaller they they were meant to be.
- She can also make them grow around things encasing them inside.
- Flora can appear more human if she chooses but sometimes she lets her 'branches hang out'
Flora knows that the king can be strict but that's only to keep all of his subjects safe, Surely he has their best interest at heart. He has after all created this magnificent kingdom where magical beings are safe and happy right?
It's not so much that Flora is ignoring all the terrible things that the king has done it's more like she hasn't seen it for herself. Hearsay and word of mouth rumors are not enough to change her opinion of Cain and surely not enough to turn her against him. The only thing that will change her mind would be for her to witness some terrible act first hand.
