Profile[]
Before The Blazing Blade[]
Florina is a Pegasus Knight-in-training from Ilia. She has always admired her older sisters and wanted to become a strong mercenary like them. Florina had befriended Lyn prior to the events of The Blazing Blade when she was in Sacae. During this encounter, she had fallen off her pegasus steed and was entangled in a tree. Lyn eventually found her caught in the tree when she was attacked by a swarm of bees. Lyn helped her down, and from then on, the two quickly became friends.
Lyn's Story[]
Florina begins a search for Lyn after she learns about her departure for Caelin. She accidentally lands her pegasus, Huey, on Migal, the leader of a band of Ganelon Bandits. They are about to capture her when Lyn and her party arrive on the scene and save her. At the end of the rescuing, Florina resolves to join Lyn on her journey to Caelin to meet her grandfather. After Lundgren's defeat, Florina is made a knight of Caelin, when Lyn assumes as the legitimate heir.
Eliwood and Hector's Story[]
A year later, Florina is one of the few survivors of Caelin's occupying garrison, along with Kent, Sain, and Wil, driven out by Darin's forces when they laid siege to Caelin. Eliwood and Hector arrive on the scene shortly after, and Florina volunteers to make contact with them and request their aid. In a dramatic turn of events, Florina is targeted by an enemy Archer, and in her attempt to avoid being hit, she loses control of Huey and they both hurtle to the earth. Their fall is broken by an unsuspecting Hector, and Florina barely succeeds in her mission. Regardless, Eliwood and Hector are able to aid Lyn in retaking Castle Caelin from this point on. Following this, Florina then decides to follow Lyn when she decided to join Eliwood and Hector on their journey.
At the end of this journey, Florina returns to Ilia and becomes a full-fledged Pegasus Knight. Depending on her supports, Florina could either retire to the Sacaen plains with Lyn or marry Hector and thereafter give birth to Lilina.
Personality[]
Florina is a gentle and withdrawn person, with a love for animals. She is chronically shy around the others, especially men and archers. Her shyness is not exclusive to these specific groups of people, as her conversations with Serra also reveals a certain degree of reserve even when interacting with women. Florina's social anxiety is known to have been much worse when she was younger, as she used to cry herself to sleep every night. Her sister Farina did not help matters, as she tended to make Florina cry during practice session frequently.
Despite this, Florina behaves differently around people with whom she is familiar with and have forged strong bonds. She speaks to her sisters and close friend Lyn with a more natural, confident cadence, as compared to her usual stammers and tendency to lapse into awkward silences. In her supports with Farina, Florina becomes a very different person when she is at a festival, and is at one point described as "starting [to come] out of her shell". Florina is entirely given to accepting the way she is, but she recognizes that she will never become her own person if she keeps relying on stronger people to look out for and take care of her.

Florina is a solid unit in The Blazing Blade, with decent combat stats and a lot of non-combat utility as the only flier available for much of the early and mid game. Florina's strongest points are her Speed and Skill, which will allow her to hit consistently and double most enemies. Her Strength is decent as well; her base 5 is relatively low, but her decent 40% growth will allow her to improve her damage output with training, and because she doubles most enemies she can do reasonable damage even with low Strength. Her main weak point is durability. Florina starts with 4 Defense and 17 HP (18 HP in Eliwood/Hector Mode). Her HP will improve over time with her decent 60% growth, but her extremely low Defense growth of 15% will mean that Florina will remain rather fragile against physical enemies.
If Lyn Mode is played, Florina gets a chance to train up before rejoining in Chapter 16E/17H. Because enemies in Lyn Mode are rather weak, Florina won't have much trouble getting kills in this mode and can reach a decently high level before Lyn Mode ends, which will make her a much more useful combat unit in the main campaign. Florina is a great candidate to use the Energy Ring and/or Angelic Robe found in Lyn Mode, as the former will improve her combat and the latter will improve her durability. However, even without these stat boosters, training in Lyn Mode will substantially improve Florina's combat.
If not used in Lyn Mode, Florina starts out rather weak in Hector/Eliwood Mode. A couple of her base stats are slightly increased, and she comes at level 3 instead of level 1, but she will be much weaker than she would be if she had trained in Lyn Mode. Still, Florina can help out by chipping enemies at 2-range with a Javelin and rescuing units. Even if Lyn Mode isn't played, Florina can become a decent combat unit with some effort thanks to her Speed and good weapon type.
Whether she is trained in Lyn Mode or not, it's usually best to promote Florina on the early side with the first available Elysian Whip. She benefits greatly from strong promotion bonuses, most notably 5 points of HP and 2 points of Defense and Resistance, substantially improving her durability. She also gets 2 points of Strength, improving her damage output. Her usefulness as a combat unit may fall off in the late game if she's promoted early, but she can still contribute by rescuing units, and due to how weak enemies are in The Blazing Blade it's often still possible to find uses for Florina's combat in the mid and late game. She doesn't gain any Speed on promoting, but she does gain a point of Con which will effectively give her 1 more attack speed when using weapons that weigh her down.
Florina also gets E rank Swords on promotion. This isn't a huge help, as Javelins are extremely useful in this game, but it may help Florina to safely fight axe users and if she manages to get to a higher Sword rank she can benefit from weapons like the Killing Edge, which don't weigh down Florina as much as lances do. Swords will mostly be useful for Florina on player phase, though, and it will often be worthwhile to have another unit trade a Javelin to the top of her inventory after she attacks so that she can counter at 1-2 range on enemy phase.
Her Resistance is solid, which proves to be useful when fighting against late game mages with long range tomes and status staffs. Her Resistance can be further buffed with Pure Water or Barrier when Florina needs to face strong mages, as well. Her Constitution is low, but this is not a major problem; her strong base Speed & solid Speed growth mean that she will eventually become fast enough to double many enemies with heavier lances despite being weighed down. Enemies in The Blazing Blade are quite slow, even on Hector Hard Mode, and some enemies (most notably the many Steel Lance-wielding Pegasus Knights found in Hector Hard Mode) even weigh themselves down with heavy weapons, meaning that Florina can often find opportunities to double despite being weighed down.
Her low Con is actually helpful when using Florina to rescue and drop other units. In The Blazing Blade, the Aid stat for mounted units is calculated by subtracting their Con from a base number; male mounted units use (25-Con), and female mounted units use the calculation (20-Con). Because of this, Florina has a consistently high Aid stat due to her base Con of 4 and promoted Con of 5. Because Florina has high movement and ignores terrain cost, she can help units cross impassable terrain and can ferry heavy units like Hector to combat or to objectives. Even if Florina isn't being used as a combat unit, it's often worth deploying her just to rescue other units. Overall, Florina is an interesting unit, with the potential to become a solid fighter, and plenty of opportunities to help out even if she never sees battle.

Florina's a pegasus knight in training from Ilia, one of the lands of Elibe. She can be a little shy and withdrawn, but don't let that fool you—she's determined and dedicated to her duty! | ||
|
Florina is one of three sisters—you might have already heard of her older sisters, Fiora and Farina. She always wanted to be a great pegasus knight just like them, so as soon as she was ready, she left Ilia and set off for the plains of Sacae. | ||
|
There, she made friends with Lyn, a member of Caelin nobility. Later, after hearing that her new friend had set off on her own journey, Florina rushed to join her. | ||
|
Florina continued to support Lyn on the dangerous path she walked. Though there were many tears along the way, Florina grew into a true pegasus knight, far from the timid girl she was when she set out from Ilia! | ||

Florina comes from Ilia, a land famous for its mercenaries. She's been working hard, day in and day out, to become a great pegasus knight like her sisters, Fiora and Farina! | ||
|
She's a gentle girl who loves animals and has a very shy personality. She often got tongue-tied talking to boys, and for a while the only other person outside of her sisters she felt comfortable talking to was Lyn. | ||
|
However, Florina grew and became much braver over the course of her journey with Lyn to confront the chaos that had erupted in Elibe. Naturally, she fought by Lyn's side through a number of battlefields. | ||
|
In fact, the weapon that she's carrying here is a bow from Sacae, Lyn's home. When she pulls the bow's string taut, her heart swells with confidence—and nothing can stand in her way! | ||

Etymology[]
Florina is a Romanian girl's name and a combination of Latin word "Fiore", which means "Flower" and the diminutive suffix "-ina" which means "Little", and can be translated as "Little Flower". It also shows a connection to Lilina, who's name means "Little Lily", as one of her three possible mothers, if she marries Hector.
The name also has origins in geography; Florina is a prefecture in northwestern Greece, along the Macedonian border.
'Huey' is a nickname for 'Hugh,' a Germanic name which means 'heart, mind or spirit'.
"Huey" is also the nickname of the popular UH-1 Iroquois helicopter used by the U.S. military.
Trivia[]
- Florina lands Huey on two people (Migal and Hector) during the events of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
- Florina is notable for having only one male support option in Hector.
- In Fire Emblem Heroes, it's said that she taught Nino how to ride a Pegasus.
- Throughout the game there are several inconsistencies in the information given during various support conversations about her Pegasus due to errors in the English translation:
- In her level B support with Hector, it is revealed that her pegasus' name is Huey. However, if Hector talks to Florina during Noble Lady of Caelin, she calls her pegasus Makar.
- Although it is Huey who lands on Migal, Florina responds to Migal when he speaks of selling the pegasus, "Don't you touch her!". Huey is also called a mare (female horse) in Florina's C support with Nino. These are translation errors of the English script writers since Huey is male in the Japanese version.
