Flydra is a dreamy troll with a great love for science, specifically drugs. Learning how things work the way they do in order to break through current limitations is her passion. Her greatest joys come from researching the troll bodies and the various upgrades that can be done to it. Because of this obsession, she has become desensitized to blood and gore and views such things with scientific fascination. This is not to say she does not value life, after all dead trolls are not nearly as fun to test on, but she wouldn't hesitate to harm another person for the sake of her ambitions. Though in such a situation, she would rather step back and record data from a fight rather than participate in one should the choice be available.
Her manner is very mellow and quiet as she is more of an observer than an entertainer. When she does talk, her voice is somewhat melodic but also kind of haunting because it tends to fade in and out in volume (sometimes she also sounds just plain stoned from testing things on herself). She enjoys socializing with others but prefers to follow instead of leading the pack. Her focus is more on the details rather than the big picture of things which is why she lets others give orders; Flydra will handle executing them perfectly. Though she might get a little sidetracked should something interesting happen by that could be studied.
She actively seeks out other trolls willing to take part in her testing and tries to reward them with free medical assistance when she can get her hands on supplies. She figures lowbloods with limited access to medical help will take her up on her deal but she hasn't figured out a way to attract highblood clientele yet. Currently she is trying to mix together a balm to protect the skin from sunlight but all attempts thus far have ended disastrously.
The hemospectrum is intriguing to Flydra as it is a method to organize and categorize trolls which is useful culturally and medically. The perks given to highbloods do not bother her as she figured out quick that life is less about a troll as an individual and more about who you know. She believes regardless of the 'every troll for herself' nature of trolls, most trolls love to have a posse or army to do their bidding and she'd be more than happy to belong to a highblood as a pet if it meant more resources. Pride is not really important to her. Thankfully the hemospectrum has made it easy to look for those with money and access, what a convenient tool! Flydra attends as many social events as she can with the hopes of sucking up to highbloods and finding herself a sponsor.
Flydra cares about blood hues because she wants to study the hemospectrum rather than because she cares about her own rank. She wants to understand the biological differences between highbloods and lowbloods and if there are differences within in a caste as well (the lower end of teal versus the higher end). She hasn't gotten very far in this research yet as she's just a kid but it's what she's interested in since the hemospectrum is a big part of Alternia culture so she wants to thoroughly understand it. She gets how it works culturally and adapted to it very quickly but due to a great interest in science, slowly decided to investigate it factually. Flydra hopes to find clear definite differences in order to help aid the government in justifying the caste system to squash these weird small rebellions once and for all. She heard a rumor about their existence but doesn't know if it's true. She is interested in this topic regardless.
One of her earliest memories was a conversation with a fellow tealblood over who's blood color was technically higher. They were both close in color but it was difficult to tell the difference with just the small symbols on their shirts. Flydra decided they needed a bigger sample of the colors and scratched open the other troll's arm to get a better look of their color. The other troll promptly smashed her head into the ground as retaliation leaving her unconscious. She managed to note that her own blood was bluer than her companion's before passing out and found the experiment to be a success despite the splitting headache the next night. She hopes to collect a blood sample of every troll on Alternia to organize a master list of the castes. Her reason for doing this is to understand what makes each caste unique as well as to hopefully understand why lowbloods mutate differently than highbloods and so on. So far progress has been difficult as not many are eager to volunteer and she has been threatened with violence for her aggressive efforts. Hydrady has cracked down on stopping her efforts to protect her from physical harm but she still attempts to pursue it behind his back when she can get away with it.
It comes as no surprise that Flydra's hobbies include both journaling and reading. Recording the world around her is useful but she also enjoys keeping a private journal detailing specifically her own thoughts and feelings. This is one of the few outlets for her emotions that she allows herself because no one will ever read it (hopefully). She will occasionally write letters to other trolls in there as well expressing things she doesn't feel comfortable really sending but maybe someday she will actually give them to their recipients.
Reading-wise she loves non-fiction best of course and devours medical books as well as history. Otherwise, she enjoys suspense and mystery stories the most. Flydra travels around Alternia a lot in order to meet with friends or do work out in the field and found reading to be an excellent hobby to bring onto the train with her.
One of her more bizarre hobbies is stalking trolls (or beasts). It is partially a game to her and partially a serious experiment. If she can successfully keep her presence hidden from her target, she hopes to witness their more vulnerable and unguarded states to record useful data. What better way to find a weakness than to watch someone who thinks they are completely alone? Plus it is great practice for one day growing big enough to partake in hunting games! Flydra knows she is too small and weak to participate now but hopes to hone her skills to be able to efficiently track trolls and beasts alike. She figures it is a useful skill that highblood patrons might enjoy having at their command.

Civisect Title Winner Crown, won with Scorpa Devile as the idol group SHEshell in Superstar Authority
If you have a city title, you're going to be very busy for the next sweep. City festivals, public initiatives, new municipal projects, your face. You get the idea. Local businesses will also be fighting for your sponsorship, rather than vice versa. In addition, you can get your own local venue for performing live, if that's your gig. If your troll keeps this up, it could become permanent. If they just show up for the bare bones winner duties and neglect their public however, they'll fade into obscurity in a few sweeps. Fame is fickle!
Personal Military ID
Your personalized ID card, this is more important than all your pins and badges combined!
Received for accepting the rank of Public Liaison Lieutenant in the Alternian Army.
