Flores is one of the six deities of Salt lake village, she is technically the youngest of the deities. She is the founder of Salt Lake Prep (formerly known as *Flores’ Academy*). She was the founder of Salt Lake’s many schools and libraries, and her textbooks are sacred, and only to be read by the descendants of Flores.

## Personality

Snarky, blunt, and short-tempered, due to living with Hana Pan years ago, Flores has picked up some terms of modernism and is visibly annoyed when Loretta is surprised when she responded so rudely. She is presumed to be wise and intelligent, able to see the future of all things, and is highly disappointed that Loretta had 'tainted' Marina's legacy, repeatedly calling her the most weakest, and spineless descendant. In the past, she was forced to grow up mentally and had an impact on her state of mind. She also hated it when people couldn't take her, or the prophecy of Maida seriously, desperately trying to convince others it was a true claim. Flores is not particularly afraid to swear, and is quick to drop her 'wise and peaceful' disposition.

## Creation

After the death of the Ethereal Goddess and the Moon Witch, Flores was created out of the blood of the goddess—she took the longest to form and is considered the youngest of the deities by default.

* Flores was born in the Jōmon period, she lived in a peaceful village until it was struck by a flood caused by Marina (Due to Marina trying to escape mortals trying to capture her). Flores was left untouched by the flood, but abandoned. Reina eventually found the baby Flores while on an expedition to find all the deities.

Flores was raised practically as a sister to Julius and Reina, though they shared no biological traits whatsoever. Flores renounced Reina as family later on in godhood.

## War of Croix/Prince Marlas

* When the council of deities was arranged, they set out to built a temple in Croix (Old Organa). Unfortunately this area was already populated by a ruling monarch, King Alexandre of Croix, who held yearly celebrations to the deities. King Alexandre would not back down, and insisted the deities find some place else. Reina, who was offended by this gesture, took one of Alexandre’s sons, Prince Alexei, and had a servant dismember and then send King Alexandre the head of Alexei.
* Julius was sent as an ambassador to Croix, attending the yearly celebration—which after the beheading of Alexei—turned into a celebration for the heir, Prince Marlas. He began to fall deeply in love with the Prince, and attended the celebration every year just to see him. Reina soon found out about this scandal, and berated Julius for “betraying” her. This outbreak caused Reina to declare war on Croix.
* When Julius eventually joined the side of Croix, Flores was left to deal with the mess of Reina. Reina was overly bitter Julius even thought about betraying her. The Wicked Goddess sent out to teach Julius a lesson.
* Unfortunately, King Alexandre had contracted a fever, and died of natural causes. Prince Marlas was heartbroken about this loss, and called for every servant in the castle to mourn with him. Julius oversaw the passing of King Alexandre and did his best to comfort the Prince turned King.
* Only weeks later would Marlas kill himself by drinking poison.
* After the deities won the war of Croix, it was shortly renamed to Organa, and given to Willows of Organa and Marina.

## New Era/Queen Maida

* Flores had only found out about the future queen during a debate she held in town square of Organa. Reina and Julius had spied on the young Maida and saw the dangers she had. Maida was a smooth talker and could rile a crowd. When Reina and Julius turned to Flores for guidance/prophecy, it was a blank.
	+ This had NEVER happened before, almost like Maida had an undetermined future.

* Without knowledge of what she could be capable of, Maida was exiled from Organa and thrown out with nothing, but the companionship of Isabelle of Scaylum.
* Flores would forget about the existence of Maida for a long period of time, until she heard about the pillage of Reina’s home.
* After Maida was imprisoned in the Julius gem, Flores foresaw the future of Organa (Now Salt Lake Village)
	+ The vision foretold Maida breaking free out of the gem with the help of the “Weakest Descendant” (rumored to be the descendant of Harmonia and Mira, children of Julius, Maida, Willows, and Marina, This descendant would later be named Loretta Dalma), Maida would destroy all of the deities’ life’s work, and set an example of her new power.
* No one took this vision seriously and brushed it off.

## Passing

* Flores lived the longest of the deities, as all the deities came and went — Flores was left alone with the children of the deities. Flores had no children of her own, but created a student out of twigs and leaves so she would have a successor. He was named Oliver and Flores took him under her wing. Though the children of the deities were grown enough to handle their powers, they still sought advice and guidance from the goddess.
* Harmonia, the daughter of Julius and Maida, became good friends with Flores, even studying under her for a short while.
	+ Because of the abundance of potential students that wanted to learn from the goddess, Flores began an academy to teach future generations of descendants, originally this was only reserved for the council of deities/children/successors, but it was eventually opened to the public when Flores passed.
	+ David, the only son of Reina, became Flores’ star pupil and taught her classes after she had passed. Flores left behind a legacy of education, knowledge, and perseverance. She single-handedly trained generations of descendants to use to powers, but taught them the power of leadership.

## In The Star of Flores

* The star of Flores was given to Flores’ descendants, it was passed down from generation to generation; notable descendants include **Kim**.
	+ Kim was Flores’ great-great-great-great-great granddaughter, Kim was very mischievous and tricked many mortals into believing they were going to die because of her “visions”. Kim is notably the worst descendant - when she was eventually captured by David and the council of descendants, she gave the Flores Star to a merchant, so no future descendants could continue the tradition of passing it down.
	+ The star was eventually recovered, but many tiny shards were missing (rumored to have been cut for mortals to try and gain the powers of Flores through shards,)
* Flores can be summoned easily, but will not answer to anyone if they are not a descendant of the deities or herself.
* In recent years, Hana Pan was buried with the Flores Star as she didn’t want her daughter to continue the line. But it was dug up by Raquel Martinez and Chloe Bonnet years later, as requested by Roman Welton.
* The Flores Star was held in a secured glass box with the rest of the deity artifacts in the Welton Manor. But was stolen by Sasha Welton as a gift to Loretta Dalma.
