Key Moments:
Nicole is an outcast who is known to be “The Witch of the Strange Garden” due to her discovery of the Aurora, Aether, and Astral flowers and belief of fairies. She gave to Flora under strange circumstances as there was no father. When Flora was young, Plockton found a group of nine feral children in the forest. While they mainly live in the town, Finn would go out to the forest, with a tracking device. He had followed the scent of Nicole’s pie and was eating them when Flora gardening. She offered him some other food as long as he stops eating the pies. Finn, who understands her, agreed. Nicole then gave him and the children animal masks with Finn getting the bull mask.
Along with Xiaobo, Szalai, and Dominik, Flora would go to the surrounding environment to see if it is approved for “Prime”. This is meant to see if there are no threats and if they can be easily taken out, along with improving the “Designated Commune”.
The area around her cottage is very large, allowing her to have various smaller gardens around it. The gardens there are butterfly, flower, herb, kailyaird, tea, aquatic, woodland, and botanic. The flowers in the gardens are full of strange, mysterious flowers known as “Aurora Flowers” due to their changing colors, “Aether Flowers” due to their shifting appearances, and “Astral Flowers” due to their strange abilities on the human mind and body.
When she was a teenager, she started cultivating the strange flowers with fruits and vegetables, especially with the Astral flowers. She started to notice how the fruits and vegetables would could out in violet, magenta, and blue hues and it enhanced the Cuckoo’s abilities. She would give them to Tania whenever there’s a banquet, a full course dinner, and desserts. Flora refused to give them to outsiders.
Flora got married to Finn when she inherited the house as Nicole moved to Glasgow. Since then, she has put up an orangery, a greenhouse for her work, a fountain, and a hedge that acts like maze as a defense. She hosted rituals to appease the “Outer Grandmother”, such as caring for the flowers and plants, putting talismans and charms on the pathway leading to her cottage, and doing an annual animal sacrifice on the “grandmother’s” birthday.
