Flora

Flora (フローラ, Furora) is a character that appears in Kuru Kuru Rotation Robo. She is a botanical research Nendoroid created by Dr. Laika and Dr. Nikola that spends her time guarding and managing the flora in nature-influenced areas. However, she was infected by the Galileo Virus and started attacking all of the wildlife.

She appears as a minor antagonist at the beginning of the game, but becomes a playable supporting protagonist after Gyro beats her.

Appearance
Flora is a humanoid robot based off of plantlife as a whole. She has long, green hair with that fall to her big, aquamarine-coloured eyes. Flora's outfit is that of a green, sleeveless summer dress with a white streamlined pattern and white sandals with green buttons. Flora has thin "vines" wrapped around her legs.

Personality
Flora is very intrigued with plant life, artificial or natural. However, she is known to get defensive towards anyone who hurts any kind of plant life, as shown when she attacks poachers, showing a very motherly nature towards the botanical garden.

Though, after becoming infected by the Galileo Virus, Flora rapidly loses control of her programming, becoming berserk and violent. In her infected state, Flora is still shown to retain her original personality, but she exhibits berserk traits and murderous tendencies due to the virus.

History
Originally created by Dr. Laika, Flora was created as a botanical research robot. However, she was infected by the Galileo Virus and assisted in Dr. Galileo's plans.

Abilities
Flora can artificially photosynthesize the energy for her attacks by absorbing light or sunlight. She can also conserve this energy for other important uses, and is more limitless in her consumptions due to being a robot.

Mechanics
Photovoltaic Sensors: Flora has photovoltaic sensors in her body that allow her to artificially photosynthesize the amount of energy she can use. She releases oxygen from her body. The sensors allow Flora to receive energy from light or sunlight in the form of ultraviolet or infrared waves.

Unique to plant-based Nendoroids, Flora has an artificial photosynthesizer in her body that is very similar to chlorophyll, as this is what allows her to photosynthesize.

Trivia

 * It is mentioned in Flora's bio that she likes to practice ikebana. Ikebana is the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging and is widely practiced around the world, most particularly in Japan.
 * Flora's name literally means "plant life", referring to her abilities and character.
