May I ask your headcaons for the other flowers, and what they think of flowery?
Fell Aqua (possibly Myo, after the Forget-Me-Not or Myosotis):
Probably the youngest—or at least one of the youngest—of the group. Aqua's original archetype is the Japanese concept of moe (萌え): a character who naturally inspires affection through their personality or appearance. For her Fell counterpart, I wanted to keep that charm while making her quieter and more reserved, without losing her endless curiosity and her constant desire to have fun.
She rarely smiles, but she's fascinated by anything new and asks an endless stream of questions. This irritates Seth just as much as it feeds their little-genius ego.
To Aqua, "Patience" either means waiting for medicine to work (and medicine is weird), or staying perfectly still for hours—which she can actually do without much trouble.
Flowery is less of a big brother to Aqua than he is a leader. He gives instructions, and she follows them because he's one of the very few people she'll genuinely listen to from beginning to end. Even if she doesn't complete a mission, she'll happily say that at least it was fun, that she managed to do part of it… or that Seth simply wasn't clear enough.
Fell Seth (possibly Gloxi, after the Gloxinia):
Still driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Seth always wants to learn more. They love being praised—something they rarely receive—and take great pride in being right. They're perfectly willing to deny their mistakes or even bend the truth rather than admit they didn't know something.
Aqua is one of their biggest audiences, constantly asking questions out of genuine curiosity.
Seth's Perseverance is expressed through sheer stubbornness. They refuse to give up until they've had the last word, even if it means making "sacrifices" along the way. To Seth, however, those sacrifices are always so insignificant that they never stop to question whether their behavior is actually self-destructive.
Because of this, Aqua is sometimes the one who has to pull them out of hopeless situations. During the first confrontation with Seth and Aqua, for example, Aqua had to come back and drag Seth away after they kept arguing despite their obvious defeat.
That same stubbornness explains Seth's constant attempts to outsmart and bring down the Trash Gang. Ironically, every failure only leaves them more frustrated and increasingly neglectful of their own well-being.
To Seth, Flowery is the most important of the Seven Flowers, making him the natural leader in their eyes. They believe it is only logical that everyone else should obey his orders.
For that reason, Seth dislikes it whenever Blue questions Flowery's decisions, even if it's only slightly. Even worse is when Blue tries to encourage Yellow to deliberately help the Trash Gang. Sometimes, Seth even wonders if Blue is poisoning Yellow's mind by making him doubt Flowery.
Fell Green (possibly Helly, after the Hellebore):
Green can speak, but almost never does. They simply prefer silence over unnecessary noise. Quiet and discreet, they love cooking and delight in experimenting with every imaginable food combination. After all, someone is bound to like it.
Green dislikes conflict and often lets others drag them into situations just to avoid upsetting anyone. This is especially noticeable in their partnership with Orange. She is Green's official taste tester and genuinely enjoys their cooking—as much as her stomach allows. At the same time, she's an unrelenting bully who picks on others because, in her own words, "If I do it first, they won't get the chance to do it to me." Green doesn't really approve of that mindset.
Green's Kindness often comes from a desire to keep the peace or simply be seen as "one of the good ones." Most of the time, their good deeds have an ulterior motive: buying themselves a little peace and quiet. Because of that, Green sometimes feels guilty, wondering whether their kindness is truly selfless. Even so, they're still the kindest flower in the group.
To Green, Flowery only became the leader because of favoritism. Asgore had always favored him over the others, and when he eventually took charge, Green didn't object—but they would have preferred Blue instead. Blue is just as diplomatic as Flowery, even if he lacks the same commanding presence. Other than that, Green has no real issue with Flowery and follows his orders in their own quiet way.
Fell Orange (possibly Osmia, after the Crocosmia):
A tiny but rebellious little chibi, Orange is the flower most openly hostile toward the Trash Gang. She treats them as enemies and wants every encounter to serve as both a warning and a show of strength.
Her appearance doesn't help her case. Orange absolutely hates being underestimated because of her size, so she often answers with displays of sheer brutality. She isn't obsessed with becoming the strongest, but her competitive spirit constantly pushes her to go too far.
This is also how she views Bravery. To Orange, courage is something you prove through action and earn through recognition. It has never occurred to her that true bravery begins with believing in herself before standing up to others. As a result, she's quick to lose her temper whenever someone strikes a nerve.
Green understands this better than anyone. Orange built herself a shell, acting harsh and intimidating because she believes it's the only way to protect herself from the cruelty she expects from others.
To Orange, Flowery is like the big brother she looks up to: the strongest, the smartest, and someone worth following without question. She stands by his side without hesitation and never doubts his judgment.
(Blue and Yellow's mindset)
To Yellow, Flowery is simply one of the Dark World's rightful leaders. He's never really questioned Flowery's position, nor has he ever wanted it for himself. Yellow only ever aspired to be a sheriff—not a ruler.
He follows Flowery's orders without complaint. The idea of becoming a leader has never crossed his mind; he'd much rather leave that responsibility to someone like Blue. In fact, he'd be more than happy to serve under Blue as well.
To Blue, Flowery is an exemplary leader… but a poor friend.
He knows Flowery is capable of the worst should everything fall apart, and Blue's decision to side with—and openly support—the Trash Gang certainly doesn't help matters.
Even so, Blue continues to follow him for the sake of everyone else, especially Yellow. Because if things had turned out differently…
…he would rather not think about it.
(Flowery's own section is still a work in progress. He deserves a dedicated post—there's simply far too much to say about him.)
