## Relationships

### Blanche

Blanche is Flower's mother and the cousin of Frosta. She ran away from the kingdom when Flower was younger, leaving Blizzard ruling the kingdom alone. Blizzard could not cope with the deep, despairing dread of Blanche's departure, and so he, too, had to abdicate, leaving Flower taking the reins of control into her own hands at the age of 14. She seldom thinks about her mother because she can hardly remember her: Flower spent her life living with her cousin, Frosta, for 12 years of her life. Blizzard sent her there because she had a mad ambition to learn the arts of magic, and she excelled at it. She used to have casting contests with her friend, Princess Arrow, all the time. But all those innocently fun times were scraped away, when Flower herself was shoved back to her home kingdom of Atlornta. Her mother had heard about her reports and wanted to experiment with her magic. It was then that Flower knew, her fervent drive to control the beautiful sparks called magic, that drive came from her mother. She watched as they practiced spell after spell together. She did, eventually, grow weary of this, as she was exhausted from stretching her magic to a level of no limit. Her mother pushed her forth to expend her magical power, and she did, day after day after day. She could barely see clearly now, for she was so aware of how copious the universe was of magic, she could hardly see anything other than magic. This was her mother's intention all along, they'd gone through every nook and cranny of her plan, elaborate as a palace. Blanche would do anything beyond imaginable to only feel the thrill of the power within her. It made her feel like she obtained quality, something so magnificently impressive that could give not only others but also herself that she was worth time. She lit up with delight just to feel the slightest tinkle of magic within her nimble little fingers. Even after that, her mother wanted more. She wanted more, and Flower could always offer more, but that was the problem. Blanche wanted to take advantage of Flower's powers. She wanted to put them to use. She wanted too much. That amount of magic could be so destructive. Blanche insisted that she knew what she was doing, she knew from how good it felt when she cast spells with Flower. That was when Flower realized: her mother had never enjoyed her as a person, only her magic. When she learned of her mother's true doings, sucking magic from the planet and into Flower's little hands, she screamed with swirling masses of fury and hurt larger than Etheria itself. She had no time to think: she wasn't prepared for this, but she had no choice. She knew what she had to do. With a flick of her steady palm, her mother was cast to Despondos.

### Blizzard

Blizzard is Flower's father. His relationship with his daughter is... complex, to say the least. He jailed her for several nights when he learned what she did to her mother, but she did manage to persuade him that what she did was necessary. Even when they were not officially enemies, it was easy to tell that they weren't exactly on friendly terms. Blizzard was so distraught over the fact that Blanche was not who he thought she was, that she was someone who tried to do such an awful thing. He instead blamed it on Flower and insisted that it was her who made Blanche a horrible person, that it was Flower's doing to victimize herself and dig her way towards power. He used the burden of grief he carried as an excuse to refrain from tending to the kingdom, ignoring even the most major issues and letting them pile over, letting the problems just kind of happen. He no longer cared for his kingdom's problems, nor the kingdom itself. Flower saw this because it effected her personally. She decided that enough was enough, and that her father just wasn't capable of being a ruler anymore. Finally, he agreed to let her take over.
