Flora Beltrum

Flora Beltrum (フローラ＝ベルトラム) is the second princess of the Beltrum Kingdom and younger sister of Christina Beltrum. She’s kind by nature, thus loved by the people. She enrolled in the Royal Institute 1 year below Rio.

Appearance
Flora is a charmingly beautiful girl with the same violet-colored hair and eyes as her sister Christina with pearl white skin. Her hair is curled at the bottom. Flora has a warm and gentle gaze.

Personality
She is weak-willed and often looks at her complexion. Because her family raised her carefully, she has a very shy character in comparison to her sister. As she doesn't go outside often, she doesn't know much of the outside world, but because of that she also become quite the curious one. She loves books, and when finding someone that shares the same interests with her, she's surprisingly quite a cheerful one and full of expression.

History
Flora was kidnapped with her elder sister Christina, at the age of six and saved by a young boy from the slums, which was Rio. She felt gratitude for him. Flora was shocked at the treatment Rio got in the academy and wanted to lend him a hand or talk to him; however, she was told not to associate herself with him by her sister Christina, as royalty were to not speak to commoners. When the students ventured into the forest, she was accidentally pushed off the cliff and Rio had saved her once again; however, Rio was blamed for pushing Flora off the cliff and labeled a criminal of Beltrum Kingdom instead. During this, she was the only to who tried to stand up for him and tell the truth of the matter. The headmaster of the academy silenced her because he and the king already knew he was innocent, but punishing the nobles son who was guilty would result in a civil war. This event broke her heart as she realized how cruel and unjust her father's kingdom really was and hoped Rio escaped safely.

Relationships
Christina Beltrum

Flora really loves her sister, she respects her and really looks up to her, how she can speak her mind confidently, and how she can guess her opponents mindset, as well how she is so strong willed.

When Flora had trouble trying to imagine how Christina handle it are often Flora's first step on dealing with it.

Roana Fontina

Not much is seen about Flora's relationship with Roana. However, Flora has respect for Roana and count on her to handle Hiroaki. On the other side, Roana shows great respect toward Flora, as she is from the Beltram's royal family.

Sakata Hiroaki

Hiroaki is the summoned hero that came from the regalia that Flora held, although that made her the guide princess for Hiroaki, but Flora isn't really good at dealing with Hiroaki, his overbearing attitude is simply too much for Flora.

Later on, Flora is kind of forced to be engaged to Hiroaki by Duke Huguenot. In volume 16, their engagement was canceled by Christina when Hiroaki stated his desire to marry Rosaline.

Rio/Amakawa Haruto

Flora fell in love with Rio since the academy era and always wanted to be with him, same as her sister; she felt guilty because they couldn't do anything to help him back then.

Volume 7 the night of the day after meeting Rio again, Flora is lying alone in her bed thinking about several things, before that same day, Rio was invited to have lunch in Liselotte's house to apologize for Alphonse and Stewart attacking him the previous evening when he was having dinner with Celia and Aishia, during that meal Flora keep trying to approach and talking to Rio rather proactively, Hiroaki didn't like this and later pointed it out to her, now in the bed she wonders if she really looked that strange today and begins to worry about having given that impression to Rio too.

Then she remembers the battle of Rio against the demons yesterday, and in her head the image of Rio fighting against the minotaurs yesterday overlaps with Rio saving her from a minotaur four years ago, and she begins to wonder if Haruto is Rio, she starts to think that if he really is Rio he must hate her and that a situation where he forgives her and the kingdom is too convenient to simply happen and then she cries there alone.

Beginning of volume 8 after she discovers that Rio is Haruto because of Lucius she tries to confirm it desperately, when he tries to play dumb, she makes the face of a lost puppy, when he finally admits it she apologizes to him again and again while crying, then Rio says to her that if she is sorry for something then please forget about the human being called Rio, when she hears this and interprets that he doesn't want to do anything with her, she cries even more than before.

Later, when Rio carries her back to Liselotte's mansion in princess carry the moment Rio is about to put her in the ground she clings to him and lies about being sick, just to stay in his embrace a little longer.

Volume 9 a little before the beginning of the first day of the evening party Hiroaki goes to the waiting room where Liselotte is waiting with her family until they are called into the party hall and every time she sees Rio talking to Miharu, Liselotte and Satsuki or when he said them they were beautiful in their dresses she was jealous of them.

The second and the third day too, every time she saw Rio talking with someone from Beltrum kingdom, specially another former classmates, she always looked at them because she was worried about them discovering Rio, even more than Rio himself, and she was very envious too when seeing him dancing with other girls.

After Flora and Christina were rescued by Rio, they got the engaged canceled by Christina as Flora had no feelings for Hiroaki, but Flora still fell in love with Rio. (Vol. 16).

Celia Claire

Flora respects Celia as an amazing teacher, though back in the academy, she's kind of jealous how Celia was really close with Rio and how Rio only smiled around Celia.

In WN, after returning back from Paladia, Flora also saw how close Haruto with Celia like planning to go shopping together, living under one roof, or the way they could communicate with only eye contact, and it really made her envious.
