Flori is a gnome that lives at Havenfield. She is Calla's great-great-grandniece, though she calls Calla her aunt instead of "great-great aunt". In Lodestar, she helped Sophie and Fitz go to Eternalia, to visit Councillor Oralie.
She told Sophie that Calla once said, "the greats [of great-great-grandniece] meant that I was the best".
Grady once tells Sophie that the Panakes tree grows twice as many blossoms when Flori sings to it.
In Flashback, Flori volunteers to be one of Sophie's bodyguards after overhearing a security discussion, though gnomes aren't typically considered fighters. She shows up to meet Sophie when she comes home from the medical center and is noticed wearing clothes that look very uncomfortable and would not provide very much protection against the enemies. Flori proves she's willing and works alongside Bo, one of King Dimitar's Mercadirs.
In Flashback, Flori helps Sophie get rid of her echoes by singing a song inspired by Vesperlace, Dimmetines, Respitillis, and Hushspurs. Flori's song turns Sophie's echos from a monster to "something that she could embrace".
Appearance[]
Flori has green teeth like many of the gnomish people and wears her hair in braids. She, like all gnomes, wears clothing made out of plants. When she initially became Sophie's bodyguard, she was shown wearing an outfit of battle armor, which meant she wore the husks of plants.
