Name: Daphne Eirene Floros

Age: 13

Appearance: Like most of her people, Daphne has a pair of bright, chartreuse-green eyes. She wears her curiosity on her brow (just like her mother), and speaks with a voice that rises quickly with excitement. Her excessively long, cinnamon hair would become that of a princess, falling over her ectomorphic frame. Her skin is sunburned around her shoulders and cheeks, and dirt has a way of finding itself beneath her fingernails. She stands at 149cm and weighs 41kg.
Uniform: Default (1st-year)

Personality: Daphne is an inspired, albeit sometimes reserved and diffident, youth with a penchant for botanicals.  She finds enjoyment in pursuing insectoid compatriots in her family’s garden, whom she sees as equal claimholders on the world’s beauty. Sometimes she finds herself talking to plants, with the peculiar ability to recognize them as readily as the faces of regular people. Daphne claims that she doesn’t name the plants that she speaks to; they tell her their names.

Strengths: Empathetic, clever, and awfully likeable. She knows a lot about useful herbs.
Weaknesses: Thin-skinned, unconfident, and a daydreamer. Bruises like a banana.
Fatal Flaw: Excessive curiosity with a lack of self-control.
Dream in life: Coexist with nature.
Song: Mary, by Agnes Obel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoBT59xRElU

Biography: The first-born child of a baker and a philosopher, Daphne’s early childhood was spent enraptured by the pleasant smells of her father’s kitchen. Even as she played in the family’s garden, where her mother held her lectures with a select group of students in a small gazebo, the smell of fresh flaounes hovered about in the air. Her friends were her immediate neighbors—a pair of twin boys to the north, a mischievous but charismatic girl to the south, and an equally introverted lover of flowers to the west. It was her mother that first discovered that Daphne carried the gift: Daphne was a Phytoglot, one who communes with nature. Phytoglots are highly prized individuals within Anoixia. As the sole member of the Floros family with the trait, Daphne unwittingly experienced the strangeness of being socially elevated above her parents at age 6. Although it has gained her much attention within their district, Daphne mostly kept to the locale she was most familiar with—that is, until now. Being hustled off to Silver Crown Academy felt like more a punishment than an honor, forced to leave the loving arms of her family, and the only life she had ever known, to fulfill a duty she didn’t completely understand.
