BASICS
NAME: Flora Perdita Lèclusier Tivendi
AGE: 25
BIRTHDATE: 12/07
PRONOUNS: she/her
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: Reporter
NEIGHBORHOOD: Downtown
MEMBER GROUP: Gifted
POWERS:PTime Travel
Flora can go back and forward in time. It will bring her at the exact same place she was but minutes, hours or days before or after the moment she uses her gift. The main problem of time travel is that if when she re-appears something or someone is now at the place she currently was, her molecules will melt with the molecules of that person or that thing, which can produces disgusting injuries (have you ever seen the movie The Fly ?) or even death. So she has to be very careful when she travels, and it is best for her to reach moment she had already lived, so she’s sure she won’t bump into someone. This fear to bump into someone almost provide her to use her gift during a fight scene, particularly if it’s a messy fight : the risks are very high to bump into her adversary.
Moreover, even if Flora has never try it, movies and books she has read and seen about time travel imply that she would create a destructive paradoxe or simply new timeline if she changed too much event...And would be stuck in the new timeline while the old timeline would continue to exist, just without her.
For instance, if she got back in time and stopped her brother from taking care of their illed mother on his own for two years, she would create a new Lorenzo, more able to be a great brother, but it wouldn’t be her brother...It would be the brother of a new timeline. And what would happen to the Lorenzo of the original timeline ?
Flora has sworn to herself to never try to change any major event from her life or history. Because she would just be alone on a new timeline, maybe a better timeline, but nos her own. Or she would destroy the universe. Which is not cool.THE LOOKSHEIGHT: 5’0
HAIR COLOR: Blonde
EYE COLOR: Blue
FACE CLAIM: Nicola Coughlan
OVERALL APPEARANCE:
Flora is a small blonde and plump young woman, but despite a lot of teasing during high school, she has decided she would love her chubby body (a decision wich was helped by the perspective of pissing off the high school bullies.) She loves to wear dresses with flower (spring is the best season for her wardrobe) and to style her’s hair with joyful scrunchies. She doesn’t take the time to put on some make up even if she knows she would love it, but after all, she has a beautiful skin and two clear blue eyes and those do the job, but when she goes off partying, no lipstick has enough glitter for her taste. Even if she’s far from being an athlete, she’s dynamic and full of life, even if she tends to be easily out-of-breath when she has to climb some stairs. She’s usually very enthousiastic, very critic, or very angry, and those three core emotion are quite pure and don’t mixe up while she interacts with people (and she interacts a lot) so you will always find her in one of those three moods.INSIDELIKES:

OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Flora is a very sensitive and emotive person and is okay to be one. If something made her cry or scream she will cry or scream and will not be ashamed of it. She considers mental health as important as physical health and if she has a mental break down, she won’t hide it and she will take an appoitment with a psychologist as she would go see a doctor if she had caught a cold. She has witnessed the deadly silence of her broken mother. And the half madness who slightly made her alcoholic brother disapeared, crushed by his gift, because of old patriarchal habits from an other time which were not suited to fight what he had to fight. So she has sworn on Gloria Steinem to be smarter than her family. The twenty one century could be the end of humankind ...or the begining of a new area, less racist, homophobic, sexist and fucked up than before, and she and her generation are willing to fight-back. The future seems dark ? Okay, let’s change it then. She’s not scared of anything and she never feels too weak or poor to fight the lobbies and the prehistoric blood-thisty capitalist. She’s smart she’s young, she’s magnificient and even if the times seems desperate, the Gen Z is going to replace the dinosaurs.BACKGROUNDHOMETOWN: Las Eurosia

PETS: Flora has a goldfish called Hurricane Orange Phoenix of the Ashes of the Avenging Magnificent Golden Fish that she rescued from an abusive Pet Shop, but she doesn’t know if he’s still alie, she couldn’t get to her appartment in three months.
HISTORY:
Flora has been told she was born in Las Eurosia (and she’s very happy with her american passport) but she has no recollection of those times. She guesses it wasn’t that far from the atmosphere inside their house in Carcenac: her alcoholic and sad mother yelling at them. Her half brother shaking in a corner of their home or doing dihes or laundry all day long to prevent a new tantrum. Little Flora and skinny Lorenzo waiting for the school bus to come and rescue them (they both hated week ends, stuck with their mad mother.) And her natural father ignoring her but not even realising he was ignoring her (because she was a fat girl, it was normal to just let her do her « girly » things) and trying to make his step-son Lorenzo (the thin boy, the HEIR, the SON) into some sort of George Foreman like if being physically punched would help him to overcome the psychological fight he has long lost against their relentless mother and the gift he called « curse » (Flora couldn’t remenber a time when his half brother was not scattered.) But Robert assure those boxing session would « get the boy out of his shelf in no time » (those were Robert words, not hers, from a young age Flora red the news and psychological articles and she knew her big brother was not « in his shelf » but in a perpetual PTSD state which wouldn’t cure itself without medical help but who would listen to the little fatsy who couldn’t even ride a bike? Like if riding a bike was going to get them out of this hell of a childhood. ) As for her, Flora knew since she was eight years old that she would rebuild her mental health with a skilled psychologist as soon as she would reach eighteen and be autorized to live freely.
To resume : from the begining of her memomy to her fifteen years old, Flora was alone (for the children to ask to go out on the week end was impossile in the Lèclusier’s world), reading all the newspapper she could find (she was eager to live in the real world) and jealous of his brother (loved by her own blood-related father, and owner of a fantastic gift he would never master because feelings scared him.) When she remenbers those time, Flora doesn’t feel sad (she rarely experience sadness) she’s full of wrath over the wasted time. « Et le temps ne se rattrape guère... »
When she reached fifteen years old, FLora moved to Napoli because of her new mother, Elena. Even if they were not blood related, Flora always thought about Elena as her true mother. (And true father, what did Robert ever did to protect her from her crazy natural mother and the sadness of the abandoned town of Carcenac?) The napolitan woman was full of joy, their tiny appartment was always crowded with interesting and loud people and, at the opposite of Maria, Elena yelled at politician or rude men when she felt deceaved by life, not at her defenceless child or husband. Also, Elena understood quickly that Flora was already independant and needed her space : when the young girl asked to go out, Elena always authorized it and convinced Robert to let her daughter live her life (even if RObert didn’t like Napoli, which he found a dangerous city for a young girl to grow in.) Elena simply explained to Flora what neighborhood she had to avoid, how to ignore men ( and Flora always respected Elena advice because they were few and useful) and gave her a peper spray. Avanti ! Flora remenbered those five wonderful years in Napoli with a lot of gratitude toward Elena. Because of Elena, Flora escaped the curse of the Lèclusier and became a happy young woman who knew her strenght and wasn’t affraid of the world.
When Flora decided to move to Las Eurosia to become a reporter, Elena supported her with all her heart and convinced Robert to let his child follow her destiny. First years weren’t easy, they never are when you’re on your own in a foreign country, but Flora loved college in the USA. She met journalist she had always admired (sometimes they were disapointing but she also learnt a lot from casual bar-talk), she created strong friendship, learnt how to party in the US (which was different from Italia), she wrote articles for some local papers during schools. She was happy and she completly forgot about the shadows of her childhood in Carcenac. The Blackstorm breakthrough brought her thoughts toward her half brother. She hoped Lorenzo had now realised his curse was a Gift. This was the right therm. Obviously, Flora wasn’t going to sell his half-brother to the authorities (or to those Hunters which no one knew if they were true or a urban legend) but appart from a traumatic childhood and some genetic from a broken mother, they had nothing in common, so she didn’t call him to know how he felt about those Blackstorm guys.
When she discovered she was Gifted too (a fearful moment) She realised she was now part of this new world with super-powered human. And she would be active in it ! So she decided to be the hunter and not the prey : she was going to investigate about The Sector and to index as much Hunters as she could. That could always be useful for Blackstorm, wich was obviously the side she picked even if she wasn’t a menber: Gifted were normal people and shouldn’t have to hide ! But her hunt for Hunters became dark and muddy and Flora realised she didn’t had the right tools for those kind of world. She sent a desperate postcard to Lorenzo, realiszing his brutal and scattered half brother was propably (and sadly) the type of guy she needed to get her out of this violent world she had entered in. But he didn’t come to the US. And now, it’s been three month and no one knows where is Flora Lèclusier-Tivendi. The last time she was seen, she wear a simple green and dark orange dress, pale pink bascket, a brown back-pack and run through the woods. Which was unusal. She looked scared. Which was very unusual.THE PLAYERNAME: Gwen
