Flora (DS)

Flora (フレン Furen, lit. Flynn) is a character in Harvest Moon: DS and ''Harvest Moon DS: Cute. She is one of the eligible bachelorettes available to court in DS''.

She would rather spend her time researching and digging around the excavation site with Carter than slaving away in the kitchen. As a result, she is apparently a horrible cook, but Flora means well and is a kind girl with a calm personality. She is also, surprisingly, a master of the martial arts and is a certified black belt.

She is usually found near the excavation site from 7am onwards. Tuesday is her 'day off', where she will walk to the Sprite Company Tree and will later go to the bridge to look at the river. However, on rainy Tuesdays, she will be found resting in the Inner Inn with the rest of the girls.

If you marry Flora, she will quit working at the excavation site and become a housewife. She will never leave the farmhouse, except for on Tuesdays when she visits Carter at the dig site.

Determined to get her drink, Flora drags you over to the bar.

Griffin is happy to give Flora her drink when the two of you arrive. Satisfied, Flora offers the drink to you to try. After drinking it, you feel really sick and pass out! Griffin tells Flora that she should take you home.

The pair suddenly notice you and Carter asks if you can go in his place to help Flora search. Offer to help and you will go with Flora on a late night treasure hunt.

At the end of your search, it appears to be a dead end! Flora isn't discouraged, however, and asks you to dig in the ground anyways. As you dig, the ground will start to shake! The two of you have discovered a hot spring instead of treasure. Flora says that she will ask Gotz to build around it.
