Biography

Early Life
Flora Anne's parents had a friend to whom she referred to as 'Uncle Dave'. Sometime prior to her teenage years, her parents were killed in an automobile accident. At the scene of this tragedy, she met Officer Williford. He spoke with her and comforted her. Eventually, she wound up in the orphanage in Kettleman City, California.

Adoption
At some point after her being orphaned, she is either adopted by or fostered to a family with a young son. The father is abusive toward her, frequently taking her to a shed in the back yard full of skinned animals and assaulting her with at least a belt. Though there is no mention of anything more specific, it is implied. Her relationship with the family's son is strained as he constantly accuses her of being mean to her. One day, Flora Anne breaks free from the father's clutches and run away.

Whether or not she returns to the orphanage is not clear, however, at some point after that time, Flora Anne was adopted by Rum Lin (or at least housed by) and consequently moved to wherever the old man lived. At some point during her stay there, she was recruited by Rum Lin to presumably find the missing statues and jewels of the White Dragon of Ages past. She entered the books, using Flippant as her Bookself. Thus she became one more in the long line of The Children.

Rule Breaker
