Flora Burns

Flora Burns is one of the healers of The Midnight Valiant.

Bio
Flora doesn't like to talk about her past but the crew knows that she was rescued from a wreck by the crew of the Midnight Valiant and now works as a healer aboard the ship. She is well versed in medicines for common ailments, such as colds, and in poisons, should that ever be necessary. Flora is also quite good with a knife, making her a decent surgeon and fighter.

SPOILERS AHEAD

She was raised as a lady in Lover's respite with a doting father, who told her stories of pirates and adventure and all about plants, and a distant mother who seemed more interested in work than in her family. When Flora was nine her father drowned in a mysterious accident. This was the first instance of Flora beginning to become afraid of the ocean.

At ten, Flora gets sent away to boarding school where she meets Callahan and Bronwyn. Callahan is a huge shit and Bronwyn soon becomes her best friend, her only friend. She doesn't like school and spends all her free time studying plants. Eventually, Callahan and Bronwyn start dating and Flora tells her mother that Bronwyn has many bruises, given to her by Callahan. To which her mother responds "These things just happen".

Once school is over, Flora is betrothed to Callahan. She does not take kindly to this and when her mother goes on a business trip, she flees. A year later she is out of money, wandering the streets, dirty and hungry. Allie finds her and brings her to the Red Rat, a cabaret/brothel where she is given work as a dancer and a prostitute. At first she is uncomfortable with the attention she receives and does not deal with customers very well but she eventually gets the hang of it and attracts the attention of a man named Alistair.

In the beginning, Flora was disinterested, going so far as to reject his advances but she can't, since he is a paying customer. For a while, it is just work, but Flora began to fall for Alistair slowly.
