Thanks for everyone who kept up with this tournament even after the long hiatus :D! And I am very sorry for the delay between the rounds, I am very glad this season of the tournament managed to turn out well even after everything :D!!
Final Round; Snapdragons Vs A bouquet of fern, rex begonia leaves, black rose, lily, odessa calla lily and green hydrangea
If you know who they are, or you are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!
First, let's talk about the Snapdragons
Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Snapdragons represent deception, graciousness, elegance, and strength. Depending on the actions of the protagonist, she can embody all four. If the protagonist try to save her, she'll be kind, polite, and harmless to him for the rest of the story. If he backstab her or try to leave her behind, she'll do a 180 and fight him (one-armed if she has to) and successfully kill him (even at the cost of her own life). I'd say she's elegant in all routes. (Also "slaying a dragon" is a common trope and there are many methods to kill her in her media) Description: Snapdragon is a mysterious but potentially powerful prisoner that will change depending on what the protagonist believes about it. (Pronouns used are she/her because the protagonist was told so) If the protagonist is terrified of her, she can be either a goddess or a demonic being. If the protagonist sees her as an enemy to take down, she is something that is dangerous but can be won against. But if the protagonist pities her as a prisoner and does what he can to save her, she is weak and powerless. (Conversely, if the protagonist doesn't give a shit about her, she'll be something with an inconsistent appearance giving uncanny valley vibes) The only true way to stop her is to believe she's dead, and even then she can become undead or use the last of her energy to do something if the protagonist is paranoid enough.

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of fern, rex begonia leaves, black rose, lily, odessa calla lily and green hydrangea
Meaning and why they were chosen: Fern- New beginnings, magic, fascination ( going on a journey with a guy you liked the look of, whoops that's a whole ass god. neato) Rex begonia leaves- Warning ( Really just a whole lot of danger throughout. they're chased by assassins like a week into the journey) Black rose- Death (for near-death experiences and full-death experiences!) Lily- Love and rebirth (Imagine loving a dude so much you come back to life. It's totally not because you literally ate the power of the god you formerly worshiped and fused with them) Odessa Calla Lily- Strength and resilience (Goes through a lot and isn't affected by it nearly as much as you'd expect) Green Hydrangea- Growth (for becoming a slightly less terrible person) Description: This character escapes home and goes on a globetrotting journey with someone he doesn't know. They grow together and become friends. Fortunately? His new friend is a newly formed god who's trying to not be a terrible person, and failing. They make many enemies through the power of being unbearable and death chases them at all turns, he can't keep escaping forever. Or can he?

First, let's talk about the bouquet of marigold, yellow and white zinnia, phlox, bluebells, cornflower, gladiolus, rosemary, dark crimson rose and purple cyclamen
Meaning: Marigold - Grief Yellow and White Zinnia - Thinking (or in memory) or an absent friend Phlox - Our souls are united Bluebells - Kindness, constancy Cornflower - Hope in Misery Gladiolus - Integrity, Strength of Character Rosemary - Remembrance Dark Crimson Rose - Mourning Purple Cyclamen—Resignation and good-bye Description and why these flowers were chosen: Marigold, Yellow and White Zinnia, and Phlox: This character lost a dear friend. The loss affected him so deeply that when he laying his friend to rest, his soul fragmented and part of it remained in the resting place Bluebells and Cornflower: As a consequence, the character unknowingly granted themself immortality. He has not resigned themself to this eternal fate, though, and continue searching for a way to obtain long-deserved rest. Bluebells, Gladiolus, Rosemary, Dark Crimson Rose: The world they live in is decaying, with death but no new life.

Round 5; A bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves Vs Snapdragons
If you know who they are, or you are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!
First, let's talk about the bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves
Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: Wisteria flowers symbolize drama and mystery, which align with his penchant for creating stories with unexpected twists and turns. Black and Red Carnations can symbolize deep fascination or love, which reflect his intense interest in the stories he creates, even if they have tragic outcomes. Foxgloves are known for their toxic properties, which can be associated with his willingness to manipulate and harm his characters for the sake of entertainment Description: Once upon a time, there was a man who died. The man’s work was the writing and telling of stories, but he could not defy death. Regardless, the story continued and he got the chance to lead them even beyond death. However, he doesn't like idealistic and hopeful narratives, preferring tragedy and selfishness in his characters. He thinks happy endings are boring and actively guides the characters in directions he finds entertaining. What's unsettling is his willingness to manipulate and even harm his characters as long as it makes the story more interesting. He takes great delight in telling the other characters what they should be doing per their "roles" in the story, and will sometimes even scold the characters for subverting their roles and trying to do something beyond what's expected of them. However, even when things seem to be going against what he'd wanted, after a brief moment of frustration he chippers back up as long as the twist is at least entertaining. He puts a good story above all else

We approaching the end of this tournament! Tomorrow, at 10 am brt, the semifinals matches will be posted! Each poll will last 3 days! 1. A bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves Vs Snapdragons
2. A bouquet of marigold, yellow and white zinnia, phlox, bluebells, cornflower, gladiolus, rosemary, dark crimson rose and purple cyclamen Vs A bouquet of fern, rex begonia leaves, black rose, lily, odessa calla lily and green hydrangea
Round 4; A bouquet of fern, rex begonia leaves, black rose, lily, odessa calla lily and green hydrangea Vs A bouquet of blue and purple daisies, desert lilies and black tulips
If you know who they are, or you are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!
First, let's talk about the bouquet of fern, rex begonia leaves, black rose, lily, odessa calla lily and green hydrangea
Meaning and why they were chosen: Fern- New beginnings, magic, fascination ( going on a journey with a guy you liked the look of, whoops that's a whole ass god. neato) Rex begonia leaves- Warning ( Really just a whole lot of danger throughout. they're chased by assassins like a week into the journey) Black rose- Death (for near-death experiences and full-death experiences!)

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of blue and purple daisies, desert lilies and black tulips
Meaning: Desert lilies (redemption, resurrection) Black tulips (strength, elegance) Blue/purple daisies (blue: loyalty, trust, peace; purple: thoughtfulness, having fun, unity) Why these flowers were chosen: The desert lilies and black tulips symbolize his outside demeanor, someone intimidating and poised. (Plus, desert lilies are often grown in the desert, where the character resides.) On the other hand, the daisies show who he really is inside, being loyal, thoughtful, and caring. Plus, all the flowers match with his main color scheme! Description: A man in a very high position of power, with a reputation for being ruthless and willing to do anything to carry out his work. Because of this status, he's become very aware of himself and the fear that surrounds him, to the point of breaking his typical mold to lighten the mood (in his own, very cringey way) when things are looking glum. You'd be surprised to find out how thoughtful and genuinely kind he is; you'd also be surprised to find him at a local card game tournament, just less so. Seriously, he never shuts up about it. He has a big heart for those he cares for, though he acts practically heartless around those he doesn't. He has a terrible sense of humor and is the purest definition of a nerd, but he can still pack a punch when needed. He's even transgender (headcanon)

Round 4; A bouquet of gloriosa (flame lily), veronica, jasione, jacaranda, cyclamen, jasmine and freesia Vs A bouquet of marigold, yellow and white zinnia, phlox, bluebells, cornflower, gladiolus, rosemary, dark crimson rose and purple cyclamen
If you know who they are, or you are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!
First, let's talk about the bouquet of gloriosa (flame lily), veronica, jasione, jacaranda, cyclamen, jasmine and freesia
Meaning and why they were chosen: Gloriosa (flame lily), for its symbolism of passion, pride, and honor, as he is a deeply idealistic person who cares so much about doing the right thing, walks the walk, and takes pride in his values. Also, because of the name; fire is an element relevant to him. Veronica, for faithfulness and devotion, especially in a religious context (though the religious context of the flower’s namesake is decidedly different from that of this character). Jasione, for justice, as he is committed to the execution of justice and ultimately breaking cycles of unjust violence, even though he is often trapped between a rock and hard place. With the task of breaking the cycle of revenge (be it on a racial or religious or familial basis; overall it’s all three) comes the understanding that all who came before and tried, failed to solve the rift and got more people killed—some of them even pressured him into committing injustice on their behalf— but he’s not going to give up or stop trying to figure out what justice actually is. Jacaranda, for its symbolism of wealth, knowledge, and rebirth; wealth because he is rich and privileged (in some ways), both wealth and knowledge because he is an economics nerd, and rebirth because he sacrifices one element of himself to accept another. Rebirth also applies in that when his life is uprooted by tragedy and his being made a scapegoat, he makes the most of it and crafts a decent life for himself far from home, giving back to his new community and cultivating new interests. It also symbolizes wisdom and even if he isn’t, uh, wise per se, he’s working on it. Cyclamens, for sincerity, religious devotion (it bears repeating), resignation, reserved love, and lasting feelings. His love for another, tender though it is, is often across significant emotional barriers, barriers of other relationships, and even great physical separation that was forced upon him for years on end. He is by far the most sincere of a duplicitous lot and is sometimes guessed to be even trickier for his earnest-seeming demeanor, but that’s just how he truly is and it can’t be corrupted away. Jasmine, for purity, modesty, and simplicity; he tries to live a modest life in accordance with his religion. Freesia, for trust and innocence; he deserves to be trusted, and suffers from the innocent youthful naivety of thinking his ideals can easily be put into practice if he just takes action Description: A bit of a zealot for a good cause, grows out of black-and-white thinking, and gets a lot more tired because the world is full of tribalism and hate, but he is still so sweet. The younger son of a loving yet terribly messed-up family that unfortunately isn’t the only such family involved. So many people he interacts with get bad vibes from him (to the extent that one guy who worked with him poisons him on the basis of distaste, against all practicality), but that’s seriously not his fault. He can be very intense though. On a completely irrelevant note, he learns that gay people exist when he’s in his 20s and is greatly surprised, even though he has lived with gay people his entire life.

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of marigold, yellow and white zinnia, phlox, bluebells, cornflower, gladiolus, rosemary, dark crimson rose and purple cyclamen
Meaning: Marigold - Grief Yellow and White Zinnia - Thinking (or in memory) or an absent friend Phlox - Our souls are united Bluebells - Kindness, constancy Cornflower - Hope in Misery Gladiolus - Integrity, Strength of Character Rosemary - Remembrance Dark Crimson Rose - Mourning Purple Cyclamen—Resignation and good-bye Description and why these flowers were chosen: Marigold, Yellow and White Zinnia, and Phlox: This character lost a dear friend. The loss affected him so deeply that when he laying his friend to rest, his soul fragmented and part of it remained in the resting place Bluebells and Cornflower: As a consequence, the character unknowingly granted themself immortality. He has not resigned themself to this eternal fate, though, and continue searching for a way to obtain long-deserved rest. Bluebells, Gladiolus, Rosemary, Dark Crimson Rose: The world they live in is decaying, with death but no new life. Yet, instead of letting the situation overwhelm and warp him, he chose kindness and dedication to his role. When beings who took advantage of the broken cycle of life and death in the world pass, this character is there to lay them to rest, frankly acknowledging their flaws but highlighting their good (or interesting) aspects and wishing them peace beyond life. Purple Cyclamen: Who is there to mourn him, to do for him as he did to others when he finally become whole and is able to rest? Only you.

Round 4; A bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves Vs A bouquet of marigolds, edelweiss and rhododendron
If you know who they are, or you are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!
First, let's talk about the bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves
Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: Wisteria flowers symbolize drama and mystery, which align with his penchant for creating stories with unexpected twists and turns. Black and Red Carnations can symbolize deep fascination or love, which reflect his intense interest in the stories he creates, even if they have tragic outcomes. Foxgloves are known for their toxic properties, which can be associated with his willingness to manipulate and harm his characters for the sake of entertainment Description: Once upon a time, there was a man who died. The man’s work was the writing and telling of stories, but he could not defy death. Regardless, the story continued and he got the chance to lead them even beyond death. However, he doesn't like idealistic and hopeful narratives, preferring tragedy and selfishness in his characters. He thinks happy endings are boring and actively guides the characters in directions he finds entertaining. What's unsettling is his willingness to manipulate and even harm his characters as long as it makes the story more interesting. He takes great delight in telling the other characters what they should be doing per their "roles" in the story, and will sometimes even scold the characters for subverting their roles and trying to do something beyond what's expected of them. However, even when things seem to be going against what he'd wanted, after a brief moment of frustration he chippers back up as long as the twist is at least entertaining. He puts a good story above all else

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of marigolds, edelweiss and rhododendron
Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Marigolds: Marigolds mean a lot to her for reasons that would spoil who she is. They also mean grief, which make sense because she did die. Edelweiss: Devotion. She's very devoted to everyone else in the forest she lives in. Rhododendron: She is a danger, a shapeshifter who will do anything to get what she wants, including fighting to the death Description: Her story is a tragic one, she was escaping with a smaller group of other children, and almost made it out. But one, her little sibling, was missing, and she couldn't keep going without them. So she went back, and ran into what she was escaping from, and was killed after a brief fight. Now she's a ghost, only having a solid form thanks to another ghost of the forest binding her spirit to the brooch she wears. She came back too angry and full of energy to stay dead. She creates masks for the other ghosts, as well as keeps the fires in towers lit. She's very loyal to her boss, the ruler of the forest she lives in. She lives in the treehouses above the swamps and takes care of her 38 adopted younger siblings who also live around the forest.

Round 4; A bouquet of plastic lemon balm, thyme, hyacinths and anemone flowers, with a single real orange rose in the middle, wrapped in light blue cellophane Vs Snapdragons
If you know who they are, or you are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!
Now, let's talk about the bouquet of plastic lemon balm, thyme, hyacinths and anemone flowers, with a single real orange rose in the middle, wrapped in light blue cellophane
Meaning and why these plants were chosen: The lemon balm represents sympathy, which is a major theme in the game is how she is showed it by others despite her "unusual" circumstances and disability, and how it ties into her character arc as she connects with others and forms lasting relationships. Thyme flowers represent courage and strength, representing the pure horrors she had to endure on her journey and how she powered through, despite it all, for the sake of herself and other beings like her. Hyacinths represent sport, games, and play, relating to not only the circumstances of her existence inside a giant semi-digital mmo, but to her own highly competitive nature, always striving towards challenges and having a smug sense of satisfaction from beating them. Anemone flowers represent forsaken things, representing the shady and highly unethical circumstances of her creation, as a prototype for a computing discovery that would have massive ramifications for society as a whole, which is unfortunately put to use in torturing for personal information. It also represents the situations she faces, where she is torn from her new friends suddenly and trapped in a scrapped expansion DLC for the mmo she resides in, which has been converted into a place for facilitating the highly unethical experiments. The plastic qualities of the flowers represent her own artificial nature. The real orange rose alludes to mainly the fact that her virtues (represented by an orange rose, which means desire and enthusiasm) are completely real despite her circumstances as an ai. The orange of the rose is also the hair colour of her best friend, who is "real" unlike her, being a mmo player who formed a bond with her. The blue cellophane matches her hair colour, and is also an artificial material Description: This character is a woman who wakes up one day in a massive, futuristic VR MMO with no memories of her past self, and so must join forces with a programmer to play through the game and recover them. Unfortunately, due to a bug in her player avatar, she's been rendered non-verbal, except for a few choice words hard coded in by the programmer to help her. With his guidance, she must slowly recover her memories, keep her mostly unauthorised existence in the game a secret, and deal with her new situation. All the while in the background, dark secrets and sinister machinations involving the proprietary tech that makes the game possible are coming to a head, and she finds herself wrapped up in the centre of it... and she may just find out something shocking about herself in the process. Personally, I adore her for her cheeky nature, with a deeply caring side for those dear to her, and how much personality of hers is shown just through her expressions. Despite her lack of words, each bit of dialogue and expression is carefully crafted to show what she's feeling at any given moment, and any opinions she may have, to make a character absolutely overflowing with personality who perfectly bounces off others in any scene. (Some of my personal favourite scenes are the ones where after a certain sidequest, she's told by her programmer friend that she shouldn't be messing around with glitches again, and she makes an "innocent" whistling gesture that tells you she TOTALLY wants to do it again, and the story scene where "Why" is added to her vocabulary and the first thing she does with it is to annoy her programmer friend by repeatedly asking it, with an increasingly smug and satisfied expression as she gets under his skin.)

Now, let's talk about the Snapdragons
Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Snapdragons represent deception, graciousness, elegance, and strength. Depending on the actions of the protagonist, she can embody all four. If the protagonist try to save her, she'll be kind, polite, and harmless to him for the rest of the story. If he backstab her or try to leave her behind, she'll do a 180 and fight him (one-armed if she has to) and successfully kill him (even at the cost of her own life). I'd say she's elegant in all routes. (Also "slaying a dragon" is a common trope and there are many methods to kill her in her media) Description: Snapdragon is a mysterious but potentially powerful prisoner that will change depending on what the protagonist believes about it. (Pronouns used are she/her because the protagonist was told so) If the protagonist is terrified of her, she can be either a goddess or a demonic being. If the protagonist sees her as an enemy to take down, she is something that is dangerous but can be won against. But if the protagonist pities her as a prisoner and does what he can to save her, she is weak and powerless. (Conversely, if the protagonist doesn't give a shit about her, she'll be something with an inconsistent appearance giving uncanny valley vibes) The only true way to stop her is to believe she's dead, and even then she can become undead or use the last of her energy to do something if the protagonist is paranoid enough.

Round 4; A bouquet of fern, rex begonia leaves, black rose, lily, odessa calla lily and green hydrangea Vs A bouquet of blue and purple daisies, desert lilies and black tulips
If you know who they are, or you are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!
First, let's talk about the bouquet of fern, rex begonia leaves, black rose, lily, odessa calla lily and green hydrangea
Meaning and why they were chosen: Fern- New beginnings, magic, fascination ( going on a journey with a guy you liked the look of, whoops that's a whole ass god. neato) Rex begonia leaves- Warning ( Really just a whole lot of danger throughout. they're chased by assassins like a week into the journey) Black rose- Death (for near-death experiences and full-death experiences!) Lily- Love and rebirth (Imagine loving a dude so much you come back to life. It's totally not because you literally ate the power of the god you formerly worshiped and fused with them) Odessa Calla Lily- Strength and resilience (Goes through a lot and isn't affected by it nearly as much as you'd expect) Green Hydrangea- Growth (for becoming a slightly less terrible person) Description: This character escapes home and goes on a globetrotting journey with someone he doesn't know. They grow together and become friends. Fortunately? His new friend is a newly formed god who's trying to not be a terrible person, and failing. They make many enemies through the power of being unbearable and death chases them at all turns, he can't keep escaping forever. Or can he?

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of blue and purple daisies, desert lilies and black tulips
Meaning: Desert lilies (redemption, resurrection) Black tulips (strength, elegance) Blue/purple daisies (blue: loyalty, trust, peace; purple: thoughtfulness, having fun, unity) Why these flowers were chosen: The desert lilies and black tulips symbolize his outside demeanor, someone intimidating and poised. (Plus, desert lilies are often grown in the desert, where the character resides.) On the other hand, the daisies show who he really is inside, being loyal, thoughtful, and caring. Plus, all the flowers match with his main color scheme! Description: A man in a very high position of power, with a reputation for being ruthless and willing to do anything to carry out his work. Because of this status, he's become very aware of himself and the fear that surrounds him, to the point of breaking his typical mold to lighten the mood (in his own, very cringey way) when things are looking glum. You'd be surprised to find out how thoughtful and genuinely kind he is; you'd also be surprised to find him at a local card game tournament, just less so. Seriously, he never shuts up about it. He has a big heart for those he cares for, though he acts practically heartless around those he doesn't. He has a terrible sense of humor and is the purest definition of a nerd, but he can still pack a punch when needed. He's even transgender (headcanon)
