Flower, the first born of Mama and Venn, was a bubbly and energetic black furred Talyxian stalker. Flower has a genetic birth defect that removes her ability to feel pain, this risks serious injury as she has no way of being warned if she is overexerting herself or has hurt herself already. Flower spends a lot of her time outside, reckless and curious about the world, this recklessness a sort of side effect of her inability to feel pain. She will frequently fall, bump rocks, be scraped by trees or brush, frequent things a clumsy child would do at a young age but because she lacked the ability to feel pain she would get seriously hurt at times and not quite understand what was going on or why. Mama became very aware of this fairly quickly as Flower would frequently come home in terrible shape and not even consider what she might've been doing to herself. Mama would be upset and worried proceeding to explain to Flower how she was special and the precautions she needed to make in order to be safe. Mama walked around with Flower for a while when she explored to make sure she was safe and if Mama couldn't make it she would send Venn along with Flower instead. She eventually learned that she would have to be more aware of her body, pain sometimes expressing itself to her as a sort of pressure. She was in tune with it over time and Mama no longer needed to watch over her and keep her safe.
While at a young age Flower would frequently wander out and explore flower fields past the house, it was her favorite place to be as a young child as the sights and scents of the bright colorful flowers being moved back and forth by the wind were so wonderful for her that she always wanted to be there to be happy and carefree. She would roll around in the flowers and frequently pick them and bring them home to show her parents. Every time she would do this she would come home smelling just like the flowers with bits of purple, pink, and red petals all over her. The first time Flower had ever brought home a flower she picked she brought it to Venn, her father, put it behind his ear and let it hang nicely over his ear. The lovely red petals of the flower contrasted with his bright white fur, he would chirp at her and smile. Mama loved when Flower did this and thought it was very sweet. Flower eventually brought back some purple flowers and had intended to give them to Mama. When Mama was given the purple flower she smiled at Flower then brushed Flower's hair on the side of her head back behind her ear and put the purple flower stem in over her ear, letting it sit gently in the parting of her hair. Mama, still smiling and appreciating how cute her daughter is, said "Such a beautiful Flower!~" Venn chirped up "Flower!" almost perfectly, a little different than his usual broken language and Mama decided then and there that this was going to be her name.
Flower's eyes are a mix of both her parents, she has one eye on the right side of her face resembling and functioning like her father Venn's eyes and then two more on the left side of her face that resemble and function like Mama's secondary "vent" shaped eyes. Venn's eyes are fairly normal albeit lacking far sight, although Mama's genetics seem to have given Flower both far and near sight with this eye and she did not retain that trait. Mama's "vent" shaped eyes function similarly to eyes with horizontal pupils, typically having a far wider field of view, however each of Mama's slits on her vent eyes function like horizontal pupils. They scan the environment horizontally and as there are multiple of these horizontal slit pupils facing different directions this allows Mama, and Flower, to detect threats or objects almost entirely 150-180 degrees from the eye in the x and y axis. These "vent" eyes have rod monochromacy which means they are incapable of seeing any colors and they are not able to focus like normal pupils do. These eyes have a preset focus of a specific distance from the eye (typically 5-10 meters) making them unable to look at a specific object very near or very far away. The "vent" eyes are only used to detect threats or movement and her other "normal" eye is used for everything else.
Flower in her young age had spent lots of time with the Roenn family and because of this had developed the ability to speak like many of the other eltus species. Over time she had developed a way of speaking similar to Tandy's, fully developing her more traditional accent and way of speaking. This allowed her to seem more approachable and kind, however, her voice did not sound like other species because T-stalkers have to replicate or recreate sounds they hear and do not necessarily have their own "voice", because of this Flower's voice has a sort of artificial sound to it. This artificial sound eventually faded over time as Flower became better at speaking but she always still retained a sort of radio static-y filter type of sound to her voice that identifies her as different. She was very insecure about this quirk of her's growing up and would frequently try to improve her speech. She was the most outgoing and talkative of all the members of Mama's t-stalker family.
At a younger age Flower noticed that certain other species were able to walk bipedally and she became incredibly infatuated with them. She eventually would speak to most of the nevreans in the Roenn family, asking why and how they stood up straight. She became interested a bit after learning about their bipedal nature and asked if they could teach her how to do it too. Tandy eventually taught her how to balance on both her legs and explained to her that t-stalkers were different than other Eltus races who stood on both their legs. Tandy explained the social differences between t-stalkers and normal Eltus people, further detailing how "normal" people would treat t-stalkers poorly and like wild animals solely because they did not walk bipedally, have proper manners while eating, and wouldn't wear clothes. Flower realized that she didn't want to be considered an "animal" and wanted to have "human" rights like nevreans, sergals, and agudner did. She was intelligent and very socialized and felt like the society they participated in was where she wanted to be and would fit in most. Soon she was walking, albeit clumsily, upright and asking Tandy for hand me down clothing to wear. The clothes looked a bit large on her at first but over time she grew into them and became better at walking upright. Tandy had made shoes with specially designed heels so that Flower could walk better with her digitigrade feet. This helped Flower be more comfortable in her choices and made her look more naturally bipedal like the other Eltus species. It made her incredibly happy and every year Flower grew more Tandy would make a larger shoes for her. Eventually Tandy taught Blanc how to make the shoes for his sister as he had a knack for carving wood and Tandy thought it could be good for him to help his sister. Initially Flower's t-stalker family were a bit confused by her walking upright but they didn't really see it as anything bad, just unusual as they never knew any t-stalkers who walked upright like she did. Flower initially was very insecure about her upright walking and wouldn't do it as often around Mama as Mama had seemed somewhat puzzled by it at first making her feel like Mama maybe didn't like that she was doing it. This wasn't the case as Flower found out later, Mama noticed how her child would get anxious around her, Flower's bubbly behavior and energy would recede whenever Flower was around her, this caused her to realize that Flower was upset by her confusion and lack of communication and was misinterpreting it as her negatively responding to Flower walking upright. Flower, being so much more socialized than Mama, was not exactly the greatest at reading solely body language and was more in tune with verbal communication which Mama didn't do as often as Tandy or any of the other Roenns might. Mama explained to Flower in a soft voice "Flower you can represent yourself however you like. I want you to be yourself because you are my beautiful daughter no matter what."
Flower would grow to become very confident in herself and did everything to be the woman she wanted to be. Even if she was born a t-stalker she was going to be just as respectable and human as all the other Eltus species. She started to travel to town more with some of the Roenn family or even on her own and tried to spark up conversation with the locals there. Flower wanted to make friends even if she wasn't that great at it at first. She got very close to Tandy at this point in her life, Tandy showing Flower the television dramas that she would watch to pass the time occasionally. Flower became obsessed with these and saw it as another way to look into the lives of these "human" species she wanted to be so badly. She loved talking about these with Tandy and eventually started watching them on her own. Tandy would start to get into the politics of the world with Flower, the history of human rights with nevreans and discrimination by certain racist groups in Gold Ring. Boko participated a lot in helping Flower learn about a lot of this history and it sparked a passion in Flower to learn about the history of this society that she wanted to participate in. This lead her on the path to eventually be a history school teacher living in the inner ring.
As Flower became more and more socialized she started to notice her insecurities appear in her life more, causing her some distress. She was normally very good at shutting down any doubt as a child but in her older age she sees how much more mean or distant people can get no matter how nice she is solely because they see she's different. She had multiple people that she spoke to on a regular basis at this point, one was an older sergal boy named Vahn that she would see in town. She realized that she may like him but she was so scared of fully opening up due to her fear of sergals instilled in her by Mama at a younger age. Mama had been abused by a sergal in a previous relationship earlier in her life which caused her to develop a strong fear for the species. Mama had frequently warned Flower of sergals and how they tend to be the most racist of all the species, the most likely to hurt her for being different. Flower couldn't seem to let her wall down and let Vahn get through to her because she was so afraid of him secretly hating her for being different or calling her disgusting if she ever told him that she liked him. Vahn had stayed close to her long enough for her to finally trust him enough to let him in, they talked about the ways people have treat them growing up, the pain that came with it, they bonded on how they felt different and out of place. This boy was raised in a more racist sergal home and he held opinions, like nevreans and t-stalkers are people and deserve rights or respect, and that made his parents yell and scream at him at a young age, he endured abuse most of his young life. This made him anti social and he was ostracized for it in his youth, making him feel like an outcast. He was able to get close to Flower as they both bonded over that feeling of being an outcast and he helped her understand that she's beautiful no matter what she was born as and she deserves a chance just as much as anyone. Vahn told Flower that he was in love with her before she was ever able to get over her fears and she told him that she loved him too. They loved each other but Flower still had anxieties sometimes. Invasive thoughts that would attack her peace of mind and tell her that he was going to hurt her and eventually tell her how she was a gross and disgusting freak. She tried her best to get over these anxieties but the thoughts were too much some days and she would find herself isolating to try and contain her feelings. Vahn would take care of her sometimes during these episodes but understood that she would occasionally need that distance and he couldn't always help her. Vahn had given her enough confidence to finally pursue her interests in history and become a teacher so she could show people that we aren't so different and we're all deserving of rights and respect. They lived in a small apartment together and loved each other for many more years as Flower studied for her qualifications. Flower would frequently call her family back home when watching her dramas on TV to talk about them with Tandy and say hi to everyone else, being as bubbly and energetic as ever
