Flora (IPA(key) /ˈflɔːɹə/) is the female Tiger Keidran and one of the four main protagonists of Twokinds. As a young girl she lived in Tiger territory; but one day, her village was raided by Humans, which led to the deaths of her entire family. Flora was captured as part of the raid and sold as a slave to Keiren's family. At first, Keiren had treated her kindly, but as he grew up, he distanced himself from her to fit in with his other friends. Eventually Flora escaped her owners, but not without a failed pursuit by a mob of angry Humans, of which Keiren was reluctantly involved in. After returning to her own lands, she was forced into arranged marriage by her people to Sythe, an important member of the Border Forest Tribe, as part of an agreement to ally the Tiger and Forest Wolf clans. However, the marriage was never finalized, as the caravan she was traveling with was wiped out in another Human attack.
Shortly after her escape from the caravan incident, she was saved by Trace Legacy himself, the Grand Templar. The two stuck together as part of Trace's journey to help Keith Keiser and the pair ended up falling in love along the way. Through the Neutral's involvement, Flora also became pregnant with Trace's child. Flora's current plans involve her and her now fiancé Trace reaching Orchard Valley, a place of acceptance between Humans and Keidran, to start their family in peace.
Appearance[]
Flora's fur consists of typical Tiger Keidran coloring; orange and white, topped with black stripes. She has yellow eyes and long light brown hair.
Biography[]
History[]
Flora was born in the southern rain forests of Mekkan, the homeland of the Tiger Keidran. She lived the first few years of her life in relative peace however, at the age of three, her home was attacked by Human slave traders. The raid resulted in the death of her parents and Flora being sold into slavery. She was soon purchased by a friendly Human family, who treated her more like a daughter than a slave, a relatively uncommon life for most Keidran slaves to have. Flora recalls her days of slavery with an unusual fondness and as such became used to Human culture much more than her own, as she grew up in the small harbor town of Edinmire she to remember less and less about her days in Tiger territory. As of the present day remembers very little. Flora grew to have a sweet childhood friendship with the son of the family that had purchased her, Keiren.
By the flashbacks to her childhood through the comics it is clear that Flora enjoyed to play in the fields outside of Edimire with Keidran One and a Unnamed Girl as she was able to cross paths with a young Trace Legacy, then only a high ranking member of the Templar Order, multiple times. The first time she ran into Trace's carriage Flora was nearly crushed, but was rescued by Euchre. Euchre had been another dear friend to Flora as she grew up, although the timeline isn't very clear it appears that while also posing as a Human in the Templar which Trace would have been familiar with he also appeared in his normal Snow Wolf form to Flora. About a year or two later, while with the aforementioned playmates again in their usual spot, she saw Trace and his new wife Saria on route to their estate which had been located a short journey out of town. Flora waved at Trace as he passed by without any real thought, and unlike the first time Trace noticed her and acknowledged her back. As they both grew up she became more distant from Keiren when he began to hang out with other friends. Keiren still cared for Flora secretly but in an attempt to look cool in front of the other boys he pretended to hate her.
Originally, it was thought that when Flora was fully grown she was allowed by her owners to return to her people, but in fact she had actually been chased out of town by a group of young men, a group she was greatly saddened to see Keidran a part of. She was able to escape the men in the end, with the help of Euchre.[1]
What happened for the next part of her life is unknown but she returned to Tiger territory as planned and eventually forced into an arranged political marriage with the nephew of the Grand Duke of The Border Forest Tribe, the Wolf Keidran, to mark an alliance between them against the Humans. The marriage did not go to plan however as the Keidran caravan she was traveling with was apparently attacked by Humans, causing her to flee into the nearby woods. She was saved from a human attacker by Trace, who had just recently lost his memories, it would later be found out that the whole attack had been staged by Ephemural to get the two to meet. [2]

Flora first appears as she is wakes up in a Basitin hospital and is greeted by an unnamed Basitin doctor. The doctor informed Flora that she had not received any injuries as a result of the Tower's explosion during the end of the previous chapter. When Flora asked where Trace was the doctor stated that only one other Human had been brought in with her, though she was actually referring to Eric Vaughan. Before Flora was able to leave the doctor told her that she was going to have to conduct a few tests to make sure her and the baby were alright, a statement that Flora was very confused by. It was at this moment that Flora realized that she was actually almost two months pregnant but had not realized it due to her only being with Trace and the common knowledge that Keidran and Humans could not reproduce. When Flora was apprehensive to reveal that Trace had to be the father the doctor assumed that Flora had probably forgotten who the father was due to the stereotype that Keidran will sleep with anyone they can, this assumption annoyed Flora greatly.

Personality[]
Flora is the type of person who always thinks the best of people, as seen even with former enemies such as Natani. However, she possesses a fiery temper which occasionally shows itself when someone has truly wronged her. Though there are certain subjects which she holds strong opinions of, such as the slavery of Keidran due to her own experiences, she is usually carefree and relaxed. Her actions can be perceived as selfish at times, such as withholding the news of her pregnancy from Trace for a time, but these instances are almost always connected to her trying to keep everyone happy. Despite her actions, Flora is quick to apologize when she realizes she's made a mistake. Due to her natural kind-hearted personality and fairly tame experience in slavery for the majority of her childhood, Flora has developed a certain naive outlook on life, evidenced by her always seeing the best in others. Her sheltered nature is judged harshly when she attempts to talk with other Keidran; for example Evals (at least to begin with) and Iris clearly look down of Flora when talking to her, as she lacks both the hard experiences of an average Keidran's life in slavery or the independence of never being a slave, the latter of which is looked favorably upon by Keidran as a sign of prestige.
Apparently, Flora has a slight "human fetish," evidenced by the crush she had on Keiren growing up and her later infatuation with Trace, which she admits to recognizing after a brief argument between herself and Evals. Furthermore, on the subject of attraction, Flora is quite self-conscious of her small bust size, as seen by her occasionally envying the larger chest sizes of other female characters and being quick to anger if someone calls or infers that she is "flat-chested".
Though Flora received no formal education, and is presumed mostly illiterate, she is able to speak fluent Human alongside her native Keidran language, though the former is likely because of her time in slavery.
Abilities and Powers[]
Feral Form[]
Flora, like all other Keidran, she has shown she can change into Feral Form. In this form, her claws can leave gashes as seen when she clawed Trace. It is unknown what she gains in terms of battle prowess however. However unlike most other main Keidran characters seen in the comic she is one of the only Keidran to actually enter her Feral Form. Flora is not very well versed in the realms of combat and with her finding out that she is pregnant in later chapters she doesn't see a lot of fighting and hasn't entered her feral form in quite a long while since the comics present events.

Trivia[]
- Flora has the second highest amount of appearances in the comic, although the two are seen together most of the time, and both appear in all chapters, Trace does have a few more individual appearances.
- Flora has the third smallest bust size out of all the adult humanoid female characters in the comic, a statistic that she was heavily self-conscious of in the earlier days of the comic. The only characters with a smaller bust size compared to Flora are Laura and Princess Reni when in her Human form; but even then, Reni purposely keeps it very small due to being a Dragon in her true form, and therefore not used to having any.
