The name is Flora. High Lady Flora Longtail, apparently, yes. No, Flora wasn't born in the lap of luxury, no. As early as Flora can remember, Flora has been living off of the streets in Shralesta, yes, supporting herself on the few breadcrumbs Flora could steal... That was until the fateful day Flora was caught in the act by a rather intimidating-looking clockworker-wolf, yes yes. Miraculously, he gave Flora a bit of change, instead of calling the guard, allowing Flora to buy the bread fair and square!

Over the next few weeks, this continued, until finally, Flora followed the man home and tried to sneak in through the back-window, promptly falling atop the golem he was working on and of course, wrecking it. With FLora's leg useless and covered in scrapes and bruises, Flora tried to minimize the damage by repairing the golem... But of course, the ruckus alarmed the owner of the house. Imagine Flora's surprise when he brought Flora to a machine-priest for healing! Not only that, but he adopted Flora too, yes, instead of having Flora arrested for breaking and entering!

Flora lived with Master for over twelve years, studying the mechanics of golems and clockwork by his side and alone, yes. From time to time, we discussed various things, both mundane and more esoteric. Guilds, religion, all sorts of things, and not all of them as 'popular' as one might expect. Flora thinks the most important things Flora learned from that are that Flora should think for herself... And that Flora should be critical of every bit of information provided to Flora, yes.

Of course, everything changed that one fateful day he stormed into Flora's room and said Flora had to leave. Sure, Flora tried to convince him otherwise, but... He wouldn't listen, no. Didn't listen to Flora at all. Flora was given a ticket for a boattrip and a few things Flora would need, and then Flora had to leave... Flora doesn't like boats, no. Too much water, yes. Far too much water, Flora doesn't like water.'

It took a while, but then Flora arrived in Sweetwater, and now Flora is making new friends... And enemies, yes. Flora is also making enemies. But Flora is sure it'll all be fine, yes!
