Flora

✿

🌈🌻🌷🌾🏳️‍⚧️💐💝🌹🔮

"*There is magic in the splendor and desire to surrender*

*Every moment we're together makes me hope it lasts forever*"

* Full name is Flora Maurice Abel
* Transfem (AMAB)
* She/her
* Apothiaroace
* Human, Caucasian
* Has the same vibes as the first half of The Wozard of Iz by The Avalanches
* Loves who she is, struggled with trans/aphobia as a child and was scared to come out to her parents/most of her friends. However, they were very supportive of her when she finally did and it helped her really love herself.
* Owns and lives on a normal farm in Georgia that was inherited from her parents after they died a few years ago. Has a few friends that live in the suburban town nearby but lives by herself.
* Her personal garden, however, grows magical flowers/herbs that her botanist father brought home from work trips before he died. These flowers and herbs are kept secret from the public due to their strange powers possibly being dangerous, Flora herself doesn’t even pick them.
* While not an official botanist, Flora enjoyed studying these flowers while not working on the farm and looked over her father’s old notes while doing so. Enjoyed looking for more ”normal" wildflowers and putting them in their own garden as well.
* The pollen of one of these special flowers, one that her father discovered shortly before he died, tended to get stuck on her clothes/hair. It’s like a natural perfume and is naturally calming like lavender so she never bothered to wash it off until the end of the day.
* However, it slowly began to affect her in unprecedented ways as time went on. Flora found herself having strangely vivid dreams about strange lands and discovered herself sleepwalking, something that had never been a problem for her in her entire life. Additionally, headaches and feelings of fatigue began constantly plaguing her despite lacking pollen allergies. Over time she found herself oversleeping and feeling extremely tired the rest of the day, oftentimes she couldn’t physically haul herself out of bed due to the fatigue.
* One night she finally decided that she was going to call the doctors and see what was wrong. However, she didn’t wake up in the morning to call them.
* She didn’t die, but rather fell into a deep sleep due to succumbing to the desire to stay in the place she dreamed about every night since the symptoms appeared.
* The strange inhabitants of the land told her up-front about what was happening to her but she found nothing wrong with it as she had already fallen under the flower’s spell.
	+ I made a whole realistic explanation for this but I’m feeling whimsical so f it we ball, the flower was created by a lonely spellcaster in this "dream" realm that wanted a human friend as the creatures it lived with were unbearable to them. They created the flower as a sort of way to transport humans to this realm permanently (+ make them like it) as the only way they can access this world is by dreaming and obviously people can’t naturally sleep forever, dying would also prevent people from visiting this realm as their brain needs to be active. However, the spell that sent the flower to the real world (it spawned in a random secluded place that made it almost impossible to find btw, Flora’s father was the first person to ever find it) weakened the spellcaster greatly and they died a few years after before getting to meet Flora. The creatures of this world know about the spellcaster’s intentions with this flower because they like to get in everyone’s business, they wanted whoever came into the realm for themselves so they were very happy when they died and nobody had came around yet.
* The flower’s spell also makes the physical body sleepwalk but in a way that appeared that the person suffering under its spell was actually awake so that nobody would get suspicious of a person who just slept all the time. In the real world Flora is dreamily going through her day-to-day life in complete silence, her friends have noticed this strange change in behavior but have just assumed that she just doesn’t care about them anymore because she just ignores/“refuses” to talk to them when they talk to her.
* In both the dream world and in the real world (post-spell) she always appears to be drowsy or “dreamy” in a literal sense, eyes half-lidded with a small, kind smile on her face. She makes no sudden movements and always has a gentle and calming aura to her.
* Very mindless, but happy. Loves playing with her new friends and is very motherly and sweet to them. “I love this place I never want to go back home and see my real friends!!1!”-like behavior.

Trivia

* Her name means “flower” in Latin and is also used as a broader term to describe the plants in a region.
