* Ameena Leffeld from ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'' fits this trope perfectly. For special bonus points, she also looks a great deal like Aerith.
* Entirely subverted by Yuuka Kazami of ''Franchise/TouhouProject''. She's a flower youkai, [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway a power that's just as useless as it sounds...]] but is one of the oldest youkai in Gensokyo, and thus extremely powerful (Marisa copied the [[WaveMotionGun Master Spark]] from her), and generally uninclined to be merciful to humans. Fandom takes this even further, calling her the Ultimate Sadistic Creature and having her wreak unholy vengeance on anyone trespassing on her sunflower garden.
* Camellia in ''VideoGame/Vampyr2018'' is a florist at Whitechapel and a [[CuteMute lovely young woman who happens to be mute]], with even [[GrumpyOldMan Darius Patrescu]] considering her an angel. She can [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential potentially die a tragic death]] if the main protagonist [[KickTheDog feeds on her]], and her dying thoughts are heart-breaking to hear.
* Florina from ''VideoGame/WildArms3''. She can "feel" the pain of the planet, grows flowers, and, after a sidequest, will grow the usually hard-to-find healing berries for you. In a break from the convention, she doesn't die at the end of the story.
* Luty from ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' is a little girl who became mute from the trauma of her home planet Ariadne disappearing some time before the story begins. A sidequest involves finding and growing a flower from Ariadne, which cheers her up enough to gradually get her to speak again. When encountered again in Episode II, she begins to work as a nurse and is involved in another sidequest, where she wants to grow a garden of Ariadne Flowers to help make everybody in Second Miltia happy.

* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'': In a filler episode, we meet a young woman named Midori Nozaki, the sister of a famous ''ikebana'' arrangement expert. After [[spoiler: her rival Rika Ookano and her sponsor Shiraki steal her secret to make flowers bloom eternally and get her blacklisted from the ''ikebana'' circles]], the eldest Nozaki [[spoiler: kills herself with poison]], and Midori [[spoiler: starts carrying her revenge [[TheMole by working with the culprits and gaining their trust]] so she can kill them when they lower their guard]]. [[spoiler: She manages to kill Shiraki by drugging and then strangling him, but Conan stops her when she's about to exact the revenge on Rika ''and'' [[ThanatosGambit kill herself]] [[FatalMethodActing on stage]] at the same time, using the same techniques that the deceased Nozaki-san used in her suicide.]]
* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': Sora Takenouchi also subverts this, though she does eventually get into her mom's business by the time ''02'' rolls around. Coincidentally, she and Ino are both voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey.
* ''VideoGame/FatalFury'': Horribly subverted in the first OVA. A cute and shy girl named Lily has a basket of flowers, and she approaches a man named Jeff Bogard to ask him if he can buy some of her stuff - so far, so good. But the kinda cute scene turns into tragedy when Jeff is attacked by several men in black, knifed as he tries to shield Lily... [[spoiler:and then murdered by the mooks' leader Geese Howard. It turns out that Geese ''forced'' Lily to act as a DecoyDamsel so he could have a chance to kill Jeff.]] Flash forward to 10 years later, and when Jeff's son Terry comes back home to face his past and have {{Revenge}}, he meets [[SheIsAllGrownup the adult Lily]] as a beautiful FemmeFatale who [[BrokenBird has never forgotten her terrible stunt as a flower girl]]...
* ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'': Tsubomi Hanasaki a.k.a Cure Blossom loves flowers, lives in a flower shop with her family, and aspires to be a botanist. She is also [[ShrinkingViolet so shy]] that flowers and plants were her only friends until she met her Pretty Cure partner [[TheFashionista Erika]]. Her knowledge about flowers is so deep that she's able to point out the meaning of every flower residing in the hearts of former victims of the Desertrians.
* ''Manga/HonooNoAlpenRose'': Martha, though she's more outspoken than the standard. [[spoiler: She's the one who offers Lundi some alpine roses and sings the Alpine Rose song, which tips Jeudi and Lundi off in Jeudi's MysteriousPast.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters 94'': In Tatsuya Shinjyouji's manga, the aforementioned Terry Bogard has quite a bit of ShipTease with an Italian flower girl [[http://www.tuku.cc/comic/8362/3/?9 named Marucco]], who also has ties to an OrphanageOfLove. [[spoiler: Unlike Lily and Sulia from the VideoGame/FatalFury animes, Marucco doesn't kick it -- though in the second volume she and her friends ''are'' targetted by some Mafiosi, but Terry helps them.]]
* ''{{Webcomic/Kubera}}'': Shakuntala fits this trope to a T: Gentle personality, [[ActualPacifist dissuades conflicts]], has a [[IllGirl weak constitution]], almost always seen sitting in a field full of flowers, gifts hand-made flower wreaths.
