GENERAL
Flora is the younger of the Flores twins, much more stoic and unapproachable than her sister. She appears indifferent about mostly everything except botany and classic art. She's a quiet and reserved girl with autism, and has no real interest in meeting new people. She never looks directly at anyone, even when she's speaking.
She can come off as a bit cold and aloof, but she doesn't mean to be. She's just disinterested in and uncomfortable around people. It’s hard to become friends with her, but she's a thoughtful and creative girl if you get to know her. Her sister Lola is pretty much the only person capable of getting more than a few words from her, unless you get her talking about plants.

THE TWINS
Other than them having blatantly different hairstyles, Flora has three beauty marks and a generally grumpier look on her face, fuller lips, and glasses. Lola on the other hand has thinner lips, bigger eyes, and is also marginally taller.
WARDROBE
Flora wears comfortable clothes like loose tees, cardigans and mom jeans. Her and Lola share their wardrobe, which is 99% thrifted and goes in in yellow, blue, brown and green hues. It includes a lot of floral prints, suede and distressed denim.
RELATIONSHIPS
Lola is Flora’s twin sister and best friend, and the only person she’s entirely comfortable around. They’re very close, but even though Flora talks considerably more with her sister than with anyone else, she’s not exactly chatty with her either. But that doesn’t really matter, they know each other well enough for Lola to understand anyway. Flora loves her sister to death, and also kind of depends on her to get through her every-day life.
Evangeline is both the second and the last person on Flora’s list of friends. In the beginning she found Evangeline very Intimidating™, but as Eve kept coming around to see Lola and her bees, over time Flora eventually grew accustomed to her. Now she actually likes Evangeline quite a lot, and Eve enjoys the company of the quiet and modest twin as well.
