She can be very sensitive and always wants the best for her friends and everyone around. Flora is the most mature member of the Winx Club. She also loves peace, happiness, and tranquility. Although she tries to hide her true feelings, her friends help and encourage her to share all her ideas with everyone. Flora hardly gets nervous and even in the worst of situations, she manages to stay calm and reasonable. At times, she doesn't know how to express herself, because she doesn't want to start fights. She is a diligent student at Alfea and is cautious of her actions. Although she can be insecure, her friends boost her self-esteem. Flora is experimenting with plants, which, in the 4Kids version, is trying to make them speak because she believes that if more plants talked, deforestation would be dramatically reduced.

eason 2

She also makes a new friend, a fairy called Layla. Although Flora's relationship with Layla is a little far at first but they later become almost best friends when she offers to help her get together with Helia. Helia is boyfriend of Flora.

Appearance

Civilian
Flora has long, caramel colored hair with blonde streaks within her bangs, emerald colored eyes and a tan skin tone. Her daily outfit consists of a green midriff, off-the-shoulder top, a fuchsia colored, faux wrap, strawberry decorated short skirt, two sets of yellow bangle bracelets on each arm, and fuchsia colored platform sandals. She has recently been seen wearing other various types of clothing, but this one in particular is the outfit she seems to favor wearing most. Her other outfit is a pink midriff shirt with a pink-trim, puffy sleeves with pink polka- dots, a red skirt, pink socks, and red platforms shoes.

Winx
Flora's Winx outfit is primarily fuchsia and orchid in color, and consists of a sparkling one piece, bare shouldered top that modestly conceals a pair of mini shorts of the same color, and ankle-high boots also the same color. A delicate looking, orchid colored and shaped choker adorns her neck, while detached sleeves of the same color compliment her arms. Her wings are green-yellow in color. Her Charmix is an upside down cursive lowercase letter L pin and a rose shoulder-bag.

Enchantix
Her Enchantix outfit is primarily fuchsia, with orchid, violet, powder blue and soft green trimming, thistle, above-the-elbow translucent gloves that are decorated with various pearl colored jewels, and soft green and light yellow, ample wings with orchid outlining that are bejeweled with pear shaped and colored decorations. Her hair is now styled into elegant pigtails(which resemble odangos) like the other Winx girls (excluding both Bloom and Tecna), and grows several inches in length. She has also discarded her fuchsia colored boots and dons strappy, cyan colored barefoot sandals, and wears a cyan tiara upon her head. She is the 4th Winx Club member to earn her Enchantix. Her fairy dust bottle is a pink honey wand surrounded by a four petal flower.

She earned her Enchantix after saving her sister Miele (4Kids dub: Rose) from a poisoned [reverse time stream actualy] stream in the 12th episode of the 3rd season.

Relationships

At first, Flora has a somewhat weak relationship with her friends, Bloom (Winx Club), Layla (Winx Club), Musa (Winx Club), Stella (Winx Club), and Tecna (Winx Club), but it later grows into a stronger one. She cares deeply about them and would risk her life for them. They support each other and stand up for each other, especially when it comes to fighting The Trix (Winx Club). Flora is especially close with Layla (Winx Club), who offered to help her get together with Helia. Flora also has a strong bond with her pixie, Chatta. The two are actually very different; while Chatta is sociable, talkative, aggressive, and bold, while Flora is shy, meek, and more gentle. However, because of this, Chatta can easily cheer up Flora and boosts her self-esteem. Flora is also friends with Helia, Sky, Riven and Timmy, Brandon but not as strong as her other friends.

Flora is crushing on Helia, the new Red Fountain boy. He is an eccentric daydreamer and enjoys writing poems. He is a pacifist and rarely uses offensive attacks. However, when Flora was in trouble, he had saved her with his laser string glove, causing her to fall in love with him. Despite her deep feelings for him, she has a hard time telling him how she feels (in the 4Kids dub, she also mentions a rule in her realm about girls not making the first move). He returns her feelings, but being shy as well and unsure of how she feels, he has trouble telling her his feelings. Flora's attraction to him is quite obvious, as she doesn't pay attention in class and was doodling his name in her notebook. Layla (Winx Club) and Chatta both try to get them together, which consequently leads to the two revealing their feelings to each other. Helia and Flora actually have a lot in common, such as their love for nature, their idealistic ways, and how they prefer to use strategic purposes instead of offensive ones. They are perfect together, it seems they would enjoy themselves.

Flora's enemies are The Trix (Winx Club) and Lord Darkar. Flora thinks Lord Darkar is cunning and manipulative. She and the other Winx girls have to combine their powers to defeat him and banish him to the chaos that spawned him. Flora also dislikes how Mitzi, a girl from Earth, plays pranks on her and her friends and meanly teases Bloom (Winx Club). Although Flora thinks most of students in Cloud Tower harbor negative feelings for them, she believes that Mirta is her friend. Mirta, who is unlike the other witches, believes fairies aren't "bad" and has a sweet nature. At first, Flora doesn't talk to her as much, but when The Trix (Winx Club) turned Mirta into a pumpkin, Flora began to affectionately take of it and struggles to turn her back to normal. Flora's failure to revert her back to her true form at first caused some tension between her and the Winx girls, but after many attempts, she finally managed to turn Mirta back to normal. Later, Mirta hangs out with Flora at the celebration at the end of the first season and then transfers to Alfea.

Magical abilities

She is from Planet Linphea. Because of this, she has the power of nature and has abilities deriving from it. For example, her attacks include Ninja Daisies, Venus Gobbler, and Ivy Vine Wraps. Flora often does not use as many offensive attacks as the other Winx girls, but rather, she uses them for more strategic purposes. She can create binding vines and walls of vines, as well as blasts of flowers and pollen either as offensive attacks or for diversion. Flora can cause plants to grow in any environment and is able to multiply any plant. She can also conjure vines which can move of there own will and can grant magic to them to grant them invulnerability. Flora can create storms of petals and gravel to entrap or attack. She can also control forests and has earth magic. Due to Flora having the power of nature, she is heavily weakened when there is no sun, light, or life present and her power's will not work. In addition to this, she is able to hear the voice of nature speaking to her.

Flora, being a fairy of nature, has a strong connection with nature. She can hear the Voice of Nature and understands them. She strongly dislikes anyone hurting plants and wants to stop deforestation and extinction of plants. Flora's love for nature causes her to experiment with them, such as making speaking plants and carnivorous ones. One of her experiments helped the Junior League of the Swamp, when she multiplied a rare plant they ate from going extinct. During this experiment, the other Winx girls were upset that her experimenting plants were crawling into their rooms. Eventually, Flora left with her plants to a forest, but Bloom later convinces her friends to take her back.

Her transformation sequence is simple. She twirls her hair and jumps down before she crosses her fingers. There is a blue flash and her choker and dress comes in to place. Her sleeves twist up then she twirls and her boots appear.

In her Enchantix transformation sequence firstly, she is seen with her hair floating. Then her tiara and eyelid makeup appear. Then her main outfit forms in sparkling light and her barefoot sandals form with flower petals. Then a giant flower bursts and Flora appears behind it, striking her final pose.

For Charmix she twirls around once and her pin appears another double spin and her bag is on. She was also the last one to get her Charmix.
