Flora

Flora is a Keidran and Trace's love interest.

History
Flora was born in the southern rain forests that her people called home. However, at the age of three, her home was attacked by slave traders. Her parents were killed and she was sold into slavery. Flora was lucky enough to be purchased by a friendly human family, who treated her more like a daughter than a slave. Thus, Flora recalls her days of slavery with an unusual fondness. She has no memory of the day her tribe was attacked.

Flora eventually was allowed by her human family to return to her people. Due of her knowledge of human nature and language, she was chosen to be a representative of the Tiger Clan and a marriage was arranged between her and a prince of the Wolf Clan. The arrangement fell through, though, when her caravan was attacked. She was saved from the human attackers by Trace, who had just recently lost his memories. Flora now travels with Trace. Over the extent of their travels, Flora grew strong feelings for Trace, saying that she believes it started when "Trace saved her from a random attacker, and ever since, she loved him". Upon the duo meeting the Basatin, Keith, both Flora and Keith had grudges against each other, but, over the extent of their travels together, they became good friends. When the trio met Natani, she was reluctant to hurt Natani, as she was "one of her kind", but eventually attacked after both Zen and Natani attacked Trace. She is pregnant with Trace's child (although she seems to believe that she is just "getting chubby"), even though it was thought impossible for Humans and Keidrans to concieve children with each other, as recognised by the Basitin doctor who tended to her after the Basidian Island Templar Tower was destroyed. (The Basitin doctor went on to imply that Flora had to have slept with a Keidran to explain her pregnancy, although Flora did not take that well) Kathrin, Eric's slave, appears to have noticed as well, but did not tell Flora.
