Before W.I.T.C.H. Winx
Flora lived in a small house on Earth since the day after she was born. Linphea was taken over by an evil, powerful old woman and had ran her family out of Linphea. Flora has never known about Linphea alongside with her little 7-year-old sister, Miele.

During W.I.T.C.H. Winx
Flora has become best friends with Irma Lair, even though they have different personalities. Irma has tried to make Flora a little confident of herself. In the second season, she has become slightly stronger and more powerful than Will, Bloom, and Irma, as they are the three strongest of the group. She also learns that she is the princess of Linphea and develops a crush on the new boy named Helia.

Powers and Ablilites
Flora is from the Planet Linphea. She has the power of nature and has abilities deriving from it. If surrounded by plants, in the forest, Flora is stronger. However, in places where plants can't grow, Flora's power is very limited or shut down completely (like in the example cave Faragonda made in season 2). Flora often does not use as many offensive attacks as the other Winx girls, but rather, she uses them for more strategic purposes. She can create binding vines and walls of vines, as well as blasts of flowers and pollen either as offensive attacks or for diversion. She can also control forests and has earth magic. In addition to this, she is able to hear the voice of nature speaking to her. This may also become a disadvantage, as the destruction of nearby nature will cause excruciating pain to her and destroy her strength as well magic power bit by bit, even her own summoned plants. She can also create huge forest like vine barriers trapping her enemy.

Flora, as the Fairy of Nature, can talk to plants, bring them to life, help them grow, and nurture them when they're sick. Other related abilities are moving the earth at will, altering plants by manipulating their growth pattern and establishing communication with nature. Since Flora dislikes aggression, she usually uses her powers in battle for defense and constriction. For example, she would trap an enemy in vines while another member of the Winx Club would destroy the enemy. Though she has on few occasions used offensive attacks when the situation depends on it or when she gets angry. She is the second most powerful fairy, the third being Stella. She is also able to give life to other things such as when she used her magic to turn the Fairy Pets to life and she is also able to heal so she has the job of a vet in the Love & Pet shop.
