āHaving become a meal for you, I'm now heading straight for your stomach. I hope that I taste like Bliss.ā aesthetic-ish blog & an ask-blog (credit to ningadudexx !!!!)
Big post!!!! Lots & lots of stuff bout her compiled into one post!! (Half inspired by @solei-eclipse 's intro of Solei, and other half inspired by @ivanttakethis 's intro of Tov! for the other people so that they can have info of her instead of scattered posts; @skyisjusthere , @apriciticreveries , @pwippy , @starry-skiez , @nottoonedin , @rosedeleca & others who I forgot!)
The rest of the info is all under the cut!
Name: Florā ultimately comes from Latin flÅs, meaning āflower.ā (beware of the many more flower symbolism going on for her!!!! she's a garden of foods and flowers!!!). There is no specific flower she is called after.
Birth date: 0925 (septem 25th!) ~19, very close to 20.
ID: 010754
Body: 151cm (4'11) / 56kg
Affiliation: ANAKT Garden
Likes: flowers, animals, friends, food, spoons
Dislikes: being abandoned, conflicts, unexpected (bad) things, some Aliens
Personality: Flor, while she is the youngest, she is very mature in some (and lots) ways. But she still retains the basic optimism and naivety of being young. She's a bit stubborn and snobby because of it. But she's an adventurous girl while always almost being cautious, having a deep sensitivity, a strong sense of empathy and concern for others, especially of those closest to her (Minori, her āsiblingsā, Cas, Oli, and others); it shows her strong loyalty to them. Which somewhat can get her carried in her thoughts. She's very curious about a lot of things, and she isn't all that afraid to ask Solei about some of her questions when they do meet up- but she does seem to have this āanxietyā when around Teachers, new people and other Aliens. And while being in that anxious state, she "thumps" like rabbitsā they do it due to feeling threatened, but sometimes she just does it to attract attention; but that's very rarely. Also when they are feeling playful, so- mixed messages, but she mainly does it when threatened. The downside of this quirk of hers, however, is due to her lack of communication -since she thinks that others know what she knows just by her foot thumping- she struggles with expressing her emotions well and can become overwhelmed by them (see, her going to Lang to have something to break and then starting to lightly cry a bit. But that only happens in more stressful situations)
Special Talent: Poetry
Voice/Singer Claim: Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche (Rin) with a mix of Banica Conchita (MEIKO) <- voice. // Tone of Evidentlyfresh's Cross My Heart & Back Burner <- singing wise, but also Kasane Teto's cover of Bling-Bang-Bang-Born
^ her voice is hard to do. It's a raspy-ish upbeat voice though
Signature:
O= shape of a pond. R= a bow! F & L= shape a somewhat broken heart
History/Lore (as of now!)
Florās talent of writing poetry helps with her songs, but she doesn't have much of an āempoweringā voice- it's soft and quiet. Quite meek. ā The Teachers and other Aliens want to hear an impowering voice from her. So they make sure that she speaks very loudly and "gruff" (see, Cross My Heart by evidentlyfresh as her song but with more 'anger' in it, as they want to feel that emotion from her): they make sure, whenever she sings that she's loud. They want to hear louder screams and all. The reason why? She has a very strong impression on some people (maybe Minori is one of them), and her triple colors (three red, three white); making her look like like a sweet, a plain holiday candy. (maybe this is also how she and Rose get to be friends?)
Her collar? Oh. The red bow on the back of her uniform collar, is used as one! It's more of a leash if anything, though. Which, when pulled via the long strings that end at the start of the skirt, gets her to obey. (Flor's Guardian has been pushing this, since she wants to recognize her "kid" better. And the red bow is a signature item that Flor's Guardian sees her with a lot). It somewhat stops her breathing, but she doesn't show it.
Flor is a kind girl to anyone she meets! Quite nervous at first, but for the long run she gets very comfortable with many of the people around! And when she's comfortable, she's more.. affectionate. Wanting to hold others' hands, but she listens to what others want. If they don't want to hold her hand, she listens.
She doesn't seem to show rebellious tendencies, but her anger is a problem that needs to be fixed.
Flor's body state, is, while not top notch- it's also not bad. But her reactions and responses make it a problem to even do anything.
Overall Threat Level: Medium, to High.
Now!
Ontoā
Flor's Guardian!
Or...
Her āmomā as Flor would call her.
Elsiemarri (or Fonelsioros) is a famous cook (she has two names for that reason I suppose) for lots of Alien restaurants. She is famous due to her food and how she does food. She has a neutral relationship with Flor, and somewhat the same with her other āchildrenā. She communicates well with them. She teaches all of her pets (her kids she would say, but) to cook food (fucked up food ig but still).
Elsiemarri has a big interest in human foods, and Latin/Spain history. She teaches her 'kids' about such things; having them speak in said language, along with Elsiemarri's Alien language. She also has, a bit of a small garden with lots of bamboo (she likes bamboo), that she tends to do very well, in taking care of it.
She and Flor don't have much of a good relationship.
She sees Flor as a bit of a hassle (even though, that's weird considering she has 6 other pets, but meh. you win some you lose some). But she does care for Flor. She's just not able to care as much, due to her job as a cook for famous aliens.
She got Flor, when Flor was a very-very small 1 year oldā but she also got Oli ( @pinkcocopuff-aqualoid in alnst; my irl twin!), since they are a package deal; meaning, Flor got very fussy when she couldn't be with Oli, and that proved to be a problemā She and Oli are also from the same breeder as Tov! (they are both small lil gals.....)
Fonelsioros; is a mermaid centaur alien. Her mermaid back, floats as if she's constantly under water and can swim. The front areaā the centaur; is that of a very small pony (the pony being a black body with spots of white on it), but the hooves are weirdly shaped. The most uncanny alien Flor has met, but that gives her a sense of comfort and familiarity. The 'hair' is a mane; connecting all the way to the middle of the mermaid tail (the fish being a Koi fish). "Uncanny" in the way, that Fonelsioros's 'mane' is similar to all of her kids' hair: curly and big in volume. Similar in color as well; a deep red brown. Rust somewhat. She covers herself with her mane (which is very soft!).
Flor's Guardian is in her 50s, in a Human sense (I believe that Aliens have a faster track of time)
Flor, is the youngest of her āfamilyā but not the youngest contestant in Alien Stage history, I would believe (some of the others do look like teens, via acorn in round 2). Her oldest sister (Te) being in her late 30s.
Flor does like cooking, and she does cook, but she's more of a learner and is especially interested in "16th century" food from Spain. ā She doesn't cook very good...
But Flor does make good sweets! Rosca likes her sweets since they met!
Flor speaks in Latin, broken Alien language, and a lil bit of Spanish! Though, she is getting used to other languages from other people too (Latin is mainly talked with her and her family)
Flor, is a very big daydreamer, due to the fact that she was mostly alone in her young youth. This is where she got that nervousness and introverted traits.
+ Being a daydreamer, Flor doesn't really remember the time of day and night. She doesn't pay attention all that much, but it's being worked on.
Being raised mainly around Food, Flor has a lot of experience with making food, and what types of foods are needed to make a good meal. If she wasn't in Alien Stage; she would've written stories or recipes!
Weird fact; She began puberty at 9. She was sent to Anakt when she was 7. She for the first few times, and when she did hit puberty- it did mean more visits to the teachers and doctors. Which she doesn't like, and could be a result of her dislike of some aliens
She is easily triggered. By what? They don't know, but they guess it's two things; unexpected stuffā Flor shrieks and thump her foot when the unexpected happens. And the dislike of some aliens
For the spoon thing, it's due to its multi use(? moreso two use, eating and stirring, but- yeah). It's a bit comforting to her? Spoons is just a weird thing that she likes.
Symbolism!! (This is father down, because I really wanted to explain what the hell I'm doing with Flor, and then soon a new Alnst OC:3c)
āā
Candy Cane! I mentioned this quite a lot. Only a couple days ago I reached about Candy canes, and I didn't know about this: In 1847, he made a candy to symbolize Christ. The cane's "J" shape stands for Jesus; when turned upside-down, it becomes a shepherd's staff. The white color signifies purity; the red represents Christ's blood, shed for the world's sins, and three red stripes symbolize the trinity.
Red/Blue. I lightly talked about this when I drew Flor's singing outfit. The Red is what others want her to be, to shed blood and bleed for them. To be eye-catching and bright like the blood inside of us. The Blue is what she wants to be, to live on her own ice island, to be buried in snow. To at least not just be seen as an object of attraction (performance wise) ā Clowns fit this bill! ā
Clown. I know we all know that clowns are just entertainment. And I have it as such, but the make-up part is the most important part of the whole clown theme. It's a reference to Dimple/Ekubo from Mob Psycho 100! And his main thing, is that he wants to live. (from a post talking about Dimple) "Goals that may have guided you for a long time can become irrelevant--and then who are you? If you defined your life by something for years, and at the end of the decade you realize you don't fit your definition anymore, where do you go?" And the way he was a Friend. At the end of Mob Psycho 100. Dimple is a friend. I like to think that, at the end of the titles of "sister", "sibling" etc (via @bluemoonscape 's Castor and Flor being like siblings; two way adoption)ā Flor is a friend. Whether she wants to be a lover or a family member; she's a friend. And she wants to make others happy, and to not cause any harm. Also- I think this goes well with her (same post talking about Dimple) "Who exists to die? But that's not what it is. Because he's making a choice. He denies death, he says, no, you can swallow me whole, you can annihilate me, but even then you can't take my agency away from me. And I will use this final choice to protect someone i love." Because, it does (it actually generally fits the entire vibe of Alien Stage itself! But- you catch my drift)
Food. This might be seen out of the blue, but for a long while now I've been very interested in foods. But food is used in many ways, and SpaceBoy did marry Sweetheartā Sweet. And she's a donut. A dessert. A food. Someone to be enjoyed with, in and everything, good with many things (mainly other sweets). And I do think that sweets and desserts can fit in the realm of Alien Stage! Dessert always symbolized what society held as life's most important values. In historical times this was power and status. (Today, it is the appreciation of family, tradition, and life accomplishments, such as Christmas gatherings and marriages). And, well. Yeah! The first thing is really fitting in Alien Stage! But I don't know what type of dessert, Flor is- but most likely a cake of sorts?
+ And to add onto Food being symbolism. I think drinks as well can fit, just fine! Flor makes me think of some "fruit punch" type of drink. Lemon fruit punch? Maybe a Sparkling Citrus Punch actually.
Flowers! I mentioned two flowers! The Rhododendrons and Bleeding Hearts! ā
And I did show their meanings. But I'll do it again!
ā all of this is explained with Rosca's post! (my blog -> tags; Rosca. To find her post)
I also think the Lotus Flower fits her well!
^ via to me sometimes being called a lotus flower (by my mom's husband, since he knows the meaning of said flowers and such; how they can survive in the cracks of the street no matter what).
If you all don't know what Captain SpaceBoy looks like, here he is:
(I think I'll keep updating this from time to time- yeah)
Main post, lore post and everything(not really, but it's the gist of everything) in it! As along with the other Alnst OC blogs, this is where everything Flor-related is at! Interactions, lore, and just simple stuff
Flor's answers would be in blue . Specify what characters you'll also want to talk to (Rosca in red/pink) , but Flor would mainly be the one responding to the questions.
Specify the timeline; "(to Flor, before ANAKT)"/"(to Flor, during ANAKT)" ā simple stuff!
Today's more... upbeat (is that the right term??) than usual. Not like that's a bad thing! She's all for it, actually! But she does.. slightly question why-
Maybe it's because the teachers have something more harder for them to do, and so she just instinctively gets hyper about it? One thought, Is it because someone actually passed!? Another, or- or- and another and another. Racing each and every other thought down with another that borders on fantasy.
But then she reminds herself that she has to get going! Do something! Or else she'll be late for whatever special thing today is! (Maybe minori is there? or is she still sleeping in?)
And soā she does.
.
. .
. . .
. . . .
What to even do for today? The start might've given her enough (well, more actually) energy for it all but it all feels like something is missing.
She really wants to get something, do something else, find somethingā just. Anything!
Today shouldn't be wasted doing boring singing classes- changing structure, pitch and tone for the growls they wanted from her (easy to do actually, but long ones have a strain on her voice leaving it raspy) - and some other tasks, with a small lunch (can it even BE food? At least the taste is Enough to cover it, I guess) in the middle of it all-
Just. Boring normal stuff.
There has to be an announcement of sorts! Some. Grand anniversary for someone in the class. That's what the birthdays are for, right?

OHHHHHHHHHHā SCELUS!*

Simple!
Do something simple!
Aliquid simplex facere potes, nonne?*** (Oddly remembering an off time where she was with someone else, doing this small same-ish thing. Maybe that's where she got the idea of the present to do for today as well....)
And what is simple that even you can do? She asked herself while looking up. She knew the answer as it was her Job before she even joined ANAKT Garden (she probably failed her job and that's why she's here)
Answer? She asked herself again, in her mind, with a cold tone to mimic the teachers and others in the class
Replying with the same morning hyper-chipper attitude; Anything sweet- filling- and juicy! A fruit that covers all those grounds and fits my friend!
As simple and easy as tasting dirt and picking at the gelatin.
So? What does she do?
She does what she just always doesā finding a way to make the fruit (she can't escape ANAKT and those who tried? Yeahhh~, no, ain't leading to that type of problem pets) with so very little resources they give them
(it just ends up being a simple drawing of the fruit, maybe some sort of design for an outfit but who would even.. eh. this is the best it's gonna get because no one around here knows how to hunt- cook- and serve the meal besides for her and her alone. The meals served here by the teachers? Criminibus...!****)
