FLOWERY ~ DELTARUNE CHAPTER 5

Flowery is the form of the Golden Flower in the Dark World and the leader of the other Flowers. Flowery is determined to keep the Flower Kingdom alive and make Asgore happy.

In the Dark World, Flowery bears striking similarities to a human with yellow skin and hair. His hair is short, with the top and bangs being swayed to the right and slightly upwards with an undercut. Unlike most beings in Dark Worlds, Flowery, as well as the rest of the flowers, are neither Lightners nor Darkners. They are living beings in the Light World, like Lightners, but gain a radically different form in the Dark World, like Darkners.

Flowery is a pastiche of the type of ikemen and bishōnen character archetypes who form the love interests of classic shōjo anime, and is presented as such in his introduction. Flowery boasts a personality befitting the stereotype of a preppy college student: high-class, sociable, appearance-conscious and somewhat bossy. He acts extremely protective and friendly towards Asgore due to the circumstances leading to his life being extended beyond expectations thanks to the florist's extensive care. When entering the final fight with him, he reveals more shōnen archetypes in his personality in contrast to his shōjo traits, where he makes it clear that he deeply values and trusts his friends, as well as how hard he is willing to fight for them, which seems to enhance his fighting capabilities to some degree.

Towards others, he has an overbearing and a confident personality. He projects a glamorous attitude prone to dramatic intonation, and calls the members of the party "princesses". He in particular has a strong habit of belittling Ralsei, which forms the crux of a rivalry between them. In spite of this, he has also shown to care about Ralsei's identity anxieties, a fact which his demeaning approach often gets in the way of. After failing to stop the Knight, he is touched by Ralsei reassuring him he isn't useless, and laments they could've been friends in another life.

Flowery strongly values the power of friendship and deeply cares for the other flowers, and, in turn, they look up to him as a dependable and virtuous authority figure. He has heightened awareness of the Dark World and its functioning, but on the other hand, values little the world's ultimate fate, believing that nurturing Asgore's happiness as he nurtured theirs takes priority. He starkly opposes Ralsei's fatalistic view of a determined journey guided by the prophecy, fully believing that residents of the dark are able to master their own fates and choose freedom over the shackles of fate.

Additionally, Flowery is shown to be reckless; as Ralsei points out, Flowery does not plan ahead before acting. His incautiousness is ultimately his downfall, when he recklessly engages the Knight in combat and is fatally wounded in the encounter.

Flowery can also be considered a walking parody of overpowered self-insert characters, as he has the ability to fake his stats, which gives him unbelievable amounts of power. However, certain foes, such as the Knight, can seemingly ignore said fake stats, rendering them useless. Nevertheless, he was at least able to keep up with it in a chase, and briefly held back its sword with his bare hands. In battle against the party, his attack damage seems relatively strong, but far below his fake stats; it is unclear whether this represents his genuine capabilities.

Flowery normally speaks in a casual tone, though his speech patterns contain unidiomatic expressions and occasional homophone errors (e.g. "leaf" vs "leave," which is a near-homophone save for voicing placed on [f]). This trait is shared by some other flowers, such as Yellow, who also shares similar homophone errors. This could refer back to the 7 Colored Flowers mimicking humans, which would have had to learn their language rather than acquire it; this shows in their understanding of what is spoken to them, but their speech having the aforementioned problems. As Flowery is also an archetypal ikeman and/or bishonen character, this could also be a nod to poorly-translated dating sim games.

Additionally, he also tends to "pepper" his speech with plant-related puns.

Flowery, along with the other Flowers, was grown by Asgore as a proposal to Toriel. Although they were supposed to only last for one day, Asgore continued to nurture and care for them, and the Flowers wished they could repay him. It’s even indicated that Asgore took (at least Flowery) to college with him as well. Flowery indicates he has watched Asgore's children Asriel and Kris grow up over the years.

When hard times hit Asgore, such as his friend Rudy growing sick, Toriel divorcing him, and his money running out, he still continued to care for his flowers, causing them to feel weak and useless for not being able to do anything to help him in his hard times.

Flowery's Light World form is a golden flower, planted by Asgore. He was among the seven colored flowers that comprised Asgore's wedding bouquet. Since then, he has been taken care of by Asgore beyond his natural lifespan and remains rooted to a table in Flower King.
