Description
Flora Sánchez is the elder daughter of Duke Sánchez, the kingdom's prime minister, and older sister to Carolina Sánchez. She meticulously cultivates a public persona as a gentle saint, hailed as a prodigious mage destined to become the next Saint due to her immense holy magic. This revered image starkly opposes her private conduct: Flora systematically abused and undermined Carolina for sixteen years. Blaming Carolina for their mother's death during childbirth, Flora used this as justification for a campaign of emotional torment. She reinforced Carolina's sense of being a family disgrace, exploiting their father's frequent absences to isolate her sister and shatter her self-esteem.
Flora's manipulation extended beyond the family. She strategically protected her spotless reputation while ensuring Carolina remained marginalized. Her public persona included performative acts of defending Carolina, masking the private cruelty. This duality was subtly conveyed through details like a smile carrying a cruel edge, perceptible only to observers. When Carolina was sent to the Malcosian Empire for a political marriage to Prince Edward Ruby Martinez, Flora's influence persisted through Carolina's ingrained fears and low self-worth.
As Carolina's latent holy powers emerged in the Malcosian Empire, Flora's role expanded from familial oppressor to broader antagonist. Her motivations intertwined with preserving her status and upholding her mother's legacy. Learning the Malcosian imperial family planned to expose her manipulation through a public spectacle mirroring the Celestian Saintly Trials, Flora escalated efforts to crush Carolina. Driven by pride, she instigated a direct confrontation during the grand tournament, aiming to discredit Carolina and secure her position as the recognized Saint.
Flora's actions culminated in a final showdown where she deployed every resource to assert her supremacy. This clash tested her resolve to protect her image and legacy, setting the stage for a decisive outcome determining which sister would be recognized as the true Saint.
