in a crowd or out in public. She also
touches people she cares for when near them as
well. She may literally cling to someone if nervous,
scared, etc.

keeps her eyes and ears open when out in
public. You can often see her eyes roaming around.
She sometimes gets distracted if she is listening in
too intently on a conversation.
S T R E N G T H S ||
-- Green Thumb: Since her grandmother taught her gardening, she
has been able to grow anything the environment would
allow. All the things she grows seem to thrive
thanks to her magic touch. Sheâll even help others
if their plants are unhealthy or dying.
-- Photography: She got into this because of her high
schoolâs photography club. Of course, she wasnât a natural
at first, but she practiced and practiced. It didnât
take her too long to get pictures everyone found
beautiful. Although, she had a higher standard for herself
and it took a couple of years for her
to reach it. She planned on going into photography
for a professional career.
-- Nimble: Her mother has always told her, âYou never
bothered to learn to crawl, you went straight to
running and you were a nimble little thing.â As
she grew, she just became quicker and lighter in
her movements. She always made sure to keep herself
physically fit. Is isnât hard for her to move
quickly and easily.

-- Fire: After the fire in her first home, she
is terrified of fire. She is always looking up
fire safety tips and is extra careful when cooking.
She can barely deal with a campfire or bonfire.
-- Losing Simon: she is scared trying for something more
than friendship with Simon will ruin their friendship. Sheâd
rather live with Simon than without him. She knows
you can have a best friend for life, but
can love last forever? Relationships fail all the time
and love can fade. She even has a nagging
doubt Simon may not love her like she loves
him.
W E A K N E S S E S ||
-- Simon: It shouldnât be a surprise to anyone that Simon
is one of her weakness. She would do and
sacrifice anything for him. Sheâd never admit it, but
he has her wrapped around his little finger. She
has a hard time saying no to him if
he asks for something. This is unless she is
messing with him or knows he needs her to
help him out.
-- Soft-hearted: Something just drives her to help others
if she sees they are in trouble, suffering, or
in need. She doesnât think before helping. She just
does it. The last thing she thinks about is
the consequences.
-- Sensitive: This is a hidden fact about her as she
hides it well, but she is a sensitive person.
It doesnât take much for someone to hurt her
feelings with words. If someone criticizes her about certain
things, sheâll be hung up on it for hours.
It can be easy to upset her.
Flora is a Mama Bear when it comes to her protectee(s). Sheâll do everything in her power to keep them safe from any harm. It is her second nature to be protective. Though, when she gets into her protective mood she can be fierce. Sheâll be intensely aggressive to whoever tried to harm her protectee(s). Any words thatâd leave her mouth likely will be full of malice. She would not think twice about fighting someone if provoked enough. Her fierceness will pop up too if she is driven to anger.
Normally, Flora is as sweet as pie. She is kind to everyone and thoughtful of their feelings. She loves making people smile or helping someone feel better. She is the kind of person to give someone the shirt off her back. Although Flora is always ready to take care of someoneâs needs, her needs can be difficult to meet. She is hard to please. This is as she is finicky. She is picky about what she buys, eats, etc. Flora is pays great attention to detail, so she wants others to as well.
Once thing that Flora has always been is a confident person. She always believes in her abilities as she believes in herself. Flora has very little doubts normally. Even if she does have them, she does not let others know about them. She believes in faking it until she makes it. Her confidence helps balance out her dependent nature. She isnât good at being alone. Flora sometimes needs extra emotional support from others. Though, her main issue is relying on others too much. This causes her trust to be earned easily.
Flora was born in New York, New York to Catherine Rogers and Elliot Glass. She lived with her mother in a small apartment. Her father disappeared after signing the birth certificate. Flora often spent time away from her mother. Her mother worked as a nurse. Flora was bounced around from babysitter to babysitter, mostly family or friends of her mother. The summer after kindergarten, a fire occurred in the middle of the night. Her mother had left a candle on in the living room. Flora remembers the incident vividly as it was awful. After the fire, they had to move Charleston, South Carolina to live with Grandma Unique. It was in this new strange place that Flora met her best friend.
The first day Flora saw Simon was at recess. He was sitting in the shade, just watching the other kids play. He looked lonely to her, so she decided to see why he wasnât playing. Maybe he just needed a friend. When he mentioned his heart wouldnât let him play, Flora wasnât short on ideas on how they could play. She often had to entertain herself when she had lived in New York. Also, her grandmother couldnât exactly play physically with her. The old woman watched her often as her mother was busy working once she found a job. Her ideas were simple. Theyâd sit and read, âgardenâ, or just sing together. Flora found her love for music this way, especially when he started to bring his guitar to school. She loved to hear him play.
She was ecstatic when she found out the boy at recess was her neighbor. Her grandmother would always hear about her best friend Simon. It wasnât a surprise when playdates began. Theyâd go to zoos, parks, circuses, etc. The two even learned to do things together like riding a bike, swimming, etc. They were inseparable. Youâd never really see one without the other.
They even got to experience camp together. Although, their first camp experience wasnât full of fun and adventure. Flora remembers the experience vividly. This was because of a bully who made her self-conscious about her freckles and who she swore almost killed Simon. Simon had swum over to help her against the bully, but he had been pushed and held underwater. Flora never was one who ever bothered to defend herself against bullies, but sheâd defend Simon against anything. She attacked the bully until he let go of Simon. Flora took Simon back to shore and got an adult right away. Flora got in trouble for hurting the bully. She did bite him hard enough to draw blood. It didnât matter though as they went back home. They completed their camping in Simonâs treehouse. They always had more fun with each other anyways.
Flora didnât realize she loved Simon until she was a teenager. She had gotten into a phase of listening to romantic music, watching romantic movies, and even reading romantic books. Each time romanced popped into her head, sheâd think of Simon. Her heart would swell with pure joy, love, as well. Although, Simon was never far from her thoughts. After this phase and revelation, she knew she always loved Simon. She wasnât sure when she started falling, but she had fallen in love with him. Although, Flora never pursued anything more than friendship. She would rather live with Simon as a best friend forever than risk losing him because of a failed relationship. He was her heart and she wanted to be by his side until the end of time, to keep a smile on his face. She wouldnât risk their friendship for the romantic fantasy in her head.
In high school Flora wanted to try every activity that Simon could participate in. She loved trying new things. Of course, she dragged Simon along as she felt odd without him by her side. She even made sure to study hard. Flora had decided she needed to excel in high school to be able to follow Simon to whatever college he may go. On their last year of college, she decided they had to do something fun for spring break. They had gone on a boat to party out in the vast sea. Flora had been filled with liquid courage and exhausted from keeping her emotions restrained when it came to Simon. She had decided to kiss him. Flora never got the chance to. A storm had hit, and darkness embraced her.
