## Game Information

### Voice Actor

None

**Flora Fellow**, born **Flora Remington**, is the silent matriarch of the Fellow family who resides in Tangle Tower. Although she was always a woman of few words, she only stopped speaking entirely after the loss of her beloved pet bird, which is likely also the reason for her fixation on staring at the sky. She is the wife of Felix and mother of Fifi, as well as the sister of Richard Remington from Secret of the Swamp. She appears in Tangle Tower as a suspect in the Murder of Freya Fellow.

## Appearance

Flora has *really* long grey hair and is of tall and slender build. She wears a long black dress.

## Personality

Flora is presented as a largely introverted person. She's always enjoyed spending time by herself, and is indicated to prefer the company of animals to that of people. It is revealed that, though she is completely silent during the story, she used to speak when she deemed it neccessary. She stopped talking entirely the previous year due to "a great loss", according to Fifi. It's not specified whether this was the loss of her father or her precious Inkdip bird (it's unknown if it died or flew away), but the latter is the most emphasised throughout the story. According to Felix, Flora is a lone wolf and independent.

Internally, she is likely suffering from the loss of her father, her pet and her friend, Freya.

## Story

### Background

Flora is the youngest of the three Remington siblings, making Richard Remington her older brother. Her other sibling is Primrose, Poppy's mother. According to Penny, Flora used to study birds professionally, having been taught by her (Flora's) father. At some point her sibling both left Tangle Tower, or Mystid Mansion as it was called back then. Flora took the oppurtunity to rename her home to Tangle Tower. Felix believes this was to discourage her siblings from ever returning. Professor Pointer says the Remington family in general was "tumultuous", and that Flora hasn't spoken to neither her father nor her siblings in over ten years, indicating that it's been at least that long since her siblings left, and perhaps since her father died, unless she stopped speaking before his death. Her brother, Richard, was the murder victim in Secret of the Swamp, but no one knows the fate of Primrose, though it's implied she was murdered be Penelope.

Not much is known about her past, but 30 years ago, she follows her family to the lake where the Remington built Mystid Mansion which is a research base of Mystids in the lake. In her childhood, she spent time with her father along with Inkdip birds found in the lake, it was one of her happiest moments.

20 years ago, she married Felix Fellow and became part of the Fellow family, and gave birth to Fifi when she was 25. At least 10 years ago, some mystids escape the lake and members of Remington family along with Pointer and Fellow formed a group called the Ambassadors of Mystid Mansion to hunt down the mystids. However, this led to a disagreement with Flora and her family which she renamed Tangle Tower after they left to make them feel unwelcomed.

Her most prized possession was her pet Inkdip bird, which disappeared some time in the last year or two. In an old photo she is surrounded by several of them, but in recent years there was only the one. It's unclear whether it died, or flew away, but Flora's constant gazing at the sky seems to indicate the latter. Her daughter says she stopped talking entirely when she "suffered a great loss". This might be when she lost her inkdip bird, or when her father, Lord Remington, died. Both were dear to her.

Freya became friends with Flora when Freya drew a Flora and her pet as a consoling gift.

### Day of the Murder

She, as usual, was in her tower staring out at the sky. However, on the day of the murder, Freya promised to paint Flora and her Inkdip feather as a birthday and parting gift, as Freya decided to leave Tangle Tower soon. During the painting, Penelope, hiding in the attic, planned the murder. She used her bird to trigger the beetle hidden in the gramophone and earmuffs to avoid feeling the effects of the beetle. The beetle's defensive noise knocked Flora out in hopes of sparing the old woman of additional suffering by witnessing the murder. Soon, Pointer noticed Flora was unconscious. Freya was killed and by the time Fitz and Poppy enter the tower, Flora was up already, silent as usual.

### Tangle Tower

Flora is the only known witness to Freya's murder, as she was posing for a portrait Freya had promised to paint for her birthday. In the painting she appears to be holding what the majority of characters perceive to be a bloody knife. However, no such item is found at the crime scene. She also doesn't say a word when questioned about the murder (or anything else). Eventually it becomes clear that she is not holding a knife in the painting, but a feather from her pet Inkdip bird, that disappeared. Once the investigators have sussed this out she shows them a sketch of her with her bird, drawn by Freya.

## Trivia

* Despite the fact that Fifi confirms her to be 44 years old, the Case File claims that Flora is 58 years old. An overseen error in the game most likely.
