Flora

Flora is a female Tiger 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 (she acknowledges at one point that she has siblings as well, including a sister, but their current status is unknown). 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.

Meeting Trace
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 Basitin, 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.

Pregnancy
Flora is currently over a month pregnant with Trace's child (although until recently she seemed to believe that she was just "getting chubby"), even though it was thought impossible for Humans and Keidrans to concieve children with each other, as recognized 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. Eric's slave Kathrin appears to have noticed as well, but did not tell Flora, or anyone else for that matter.

It is more than likely the baby was conceived during the early half of Chapter 7.

Traits
For a character of high importance, relatively little is known about her abilities. So far, all Flora has served as is the love interest of Trace, the main character. While she is capable of thinking for herself and disagreeing with Trace, a good deal of the plot, especially early on, revolved around her desire for the main character. Eventually, she got her wish, although there have been many unintended consequences.

It can be reasonably inferred that Flora is attractive for a Tiger Keidran, that she has a strong sex drive by human standards (although how strong this is by the standards of her species in unknown), and she has attraction to humans, which is implied to be unusual for Keidran. She has displayed few or no skills of any sort, there is no indication that she has had an education, and although she has rarely been shown to be somewhat dangerous in a fight due to her claws, she is not nearly a threat to the characters who are identified as combatants, and has been easily defeated in a fight. Despite her lack of status, intelligence, strength, or even acceptance as an equal in most of the world of the comic, the plot has shoehorned in ways of Flora getting her way, either by having other characters act like idiots, have contrived coincidences occur at exactly the right time and place, and by retroactively introducing whatever plot element is needed to advance her goals.

It is fair to conclude that Flora is simply a bizaare form of wish fulfillment given the shape of a female anthropomorphic character. Almost everything about her revolves around Trace, who is himself a character who can essentially do anything and everything when the plot calls for it.
