School: DCU - Nursing student
Hobbies:
Harp - Fleurelle's been taking music lessons since she was about six, and while at first she attempted piano she quickly found herself drawn to the softer, ethereal sounds of the harp. She practices it regularly, at least half an hour to an hour a day and more if she doesn't have something else to be doing. She will occasionally skip a night or so, but only if there's something more important!
Volunteering - This hobby is one that Fleurelle has been forced to take a hiatus from in recent months, but plans to get back to it as soon as her mother's health is secure. You see, Fleurelle doesn't volunteer as just anything - she works as a candy-striper in the hospital, and intends to go to nursing or medical school someday. She has had to temporarily step back from it due to her mother's immune system being in a very delicate state, but once that's passed she has every intention of returning. (Even now she still brings cookies and the like by when she can.)
Sewing - Fleurelle enjoys sewing quite a lot and is an avid fan of the practice. While others favor a more practical bent in their looks, Fleurelle adores embroidery and other often-tedious work. It allows her to find peace of mind and acts almost as a form of meditation for her, while allowing her to create and embellish beautiful clothing and costumes.
Virtues:
Gentle - Fleurelle is very softhearted and eager to step in and soothe hurts and mend hearts. She is a genuinely kind person who can't stand seeing people or animals in pain. Her first instinct is to go to someone or something that is hurting, and usually she does so, providing soft words or a hug as needed. In fact, she's something of a bleeding heart, and is usually the first to go after that classmate who's been bullied and is hiding in the classroom, and among the quickest to tend the wounds of those who have gotten into a fight. While the blonde isn't particularly eager to step in and fight, she can usually be found trailing after those who take a more active role, first-aid kit in hand for anyone in need.
Affectionate - A warm and loving person, Fleurelle is very open about her affections. Quick to give a smile or encouragement, she makes no secret of her fondness when she likes someone. She does her best to leave no room for doubt about others' standings in her eyes, and does her level best to ensure that everyone around her feels loved and cared for. From bringing snacks to decorating lockers for birthdays, there are a thousand little ways she does her best to make this obvious. Her affection is usually in a maternal or big-sisterly vein, brought about partly due to having a much-younger brother that she is absolutely devoted to.
Devoted - Once you've won a place in Fleurelle's heart - something that is actually fairly easy to do - she'll move the earth for you. She'll stand by your side and support you, whether she disagrees with you about something or not. She will protest and make such things known, but that doesn't stop her from sticking by her friend's side in the end, anyway. Her devotion isn't limited to people, however - she is equally devoted to causes and supporting them. For example, after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier in the year, Fleurelle only became an avid supporter of cancer research and does her best to promote activism for causes that are truly worth supporting.
Flaws:
Opinionated - Fleurelle has strong opinions about a lot of things. A lot of things. From the quality (or lack thereof) of cafeteria food, to whether things like peewee football should be allowed (which in her mind is a NO), from politics to immigration, Fleurelle's answer to the question 'What do you think about this?' will very, very rarely be an uncertain answer. While knowing one's own mind isn't a bad thing in and of itself, Fleurelle is very vocal with her opinions, and tends to make certain that everyone around her knows her mind as well as she does, even if they really have no interest or investment in the topic at hand.
Fussy - Since there is a large age gap between Fleurelle and her little brother Florimond, the blonde is very used to acting as both elder sister and something of a second mother figure. The problem is that she doesn't limit herself to acting this way around her baby brother, but rather tries to fuss at and mother-hen everyone around her. This can get very annoying as she isn't hesitant to nag or remind people to do things like do their homework or to please, please take your shoes off at the door before you get mud everywhere.
Long-winded - Not only does Fleurelle like to make herself heard and tend to be a nag, she also loves the sound of her own voice. Prone to go on and on (and on) about a topic, Fleurelle is sometimes teased about sounding like a history professor. Once she's started on a subject she can ramble for ages, and is very difficult to get to stop. She even continues to drone even when others make it obvious that they're no longer listening. It usually takes a direct intervention to get her to finally wind down, and this usually results in a huffy Fleurelle and frustrated friends.
