[[caption-width-right:350:Click [[labelnote:here]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c4_suoh0.png]][[/labelnote]] to see her appearance in ''Hiver'']]

* FriendlessBackground: Because of her difficulties with social interaction, she had no friends before she came to Saint Angraecum Academy.

* TheOneThatGotAway: For Suoh at the end of the first game. [[spoier:Thankfully, she comes back...Albeit not in the way one would expect.]]
* PutOnABus: For two games!

* BelligerentSexualTension: Has this in spades with Erika. They spend a great deal of time in Summer and Fall bickering with each other.

* InsultBackfire: Prone to this, especially with Erika. But for the most part she gives as good as she gets.

* AbusiveParents: Or parent. [[spoiler: Suoh's stepmother scarred her so badly that Suoh has a panic attack thinking of her years after her father divorced her.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Suoh's mother passed away when she was very young, and her strict stepmother, a pianist who taught Suoh how to play, was heavily implied to be mentally and emotionally abusive to the point where Suoh feels physically ill even thinking about pianos.]] As if that wasn't bad enough, Suoh's first and only experience with public education ended with bullying and teasing, resulting in her withdrawing and being home-schooled until her decision to enroll in Saint Angraecum Academy.
* {{Determinator}}: Is going to make friends at the academy no matter what it takes! [[spoiler: On a more depressing note, Suoh will do anything to find out what happened to Mayuri. She fully intends to let her go after she finds out, however.]]

* MeaningfulName: 'Suoh' is the Japanese word for Sappanwood, also known as the Judas Tree. [[spoiler: This fact is integral to the first mystery in ''Printemps''.]]
* NiceGirl: Suoh is the sweetest member of the cast. Immediately thinks that Erika is someone who begs protecting even after Erika inconveniences her; Suoh even considers a pre-character-development Chidori a kind, considerate person, and easily forgives [[spoiler: Rikka for leveraging Mayuri's big secret to force her into a relationship.]]
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Realizes this upon discovering Mayuri's past, due to being raised by a single parent. [[spoiler: In the end, this is what ultimately resolves the love triangle; Mayuri and Suoh's tragic pasts are similar enough that they can understand and fall in love with each other.]]
* ObliviousToLove: Absolutely doesn't pick up on [[spoiler: Rikka]]'s feelings for her until it becomes a plot point.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She delivers a very short, yet ''scathing'' [[spoiler: one to Rikka.]]
-->'''Suoh:''' You're a coward...

* YamatoNadeshiko: Has shades of this. Though soft-spoken and demure, she eventually grows and becomes savvy enough to convince Rikka to help investigate [[spoiler: the Bloody Mary mystery]] and by the end of the first game has taken strides toward overcoming her social anxiety.

* {{Foil}}: Is ultimately one to Rikka. They both act as Suoh's close confidantes, but one is very socially inward, the other, almost always the center of attention. [[spoiler: Rikka ends up becoming a borderline FalseFriend to Suoh, trying to get close by hurting the target of her affections out of jealousy becoming the BigBad of the first game, whilst Erika has UndyingLoyalty to her BestFriend, supports her fully from the start about her relationship with Mayuri, and ''never'' once betrays her.]] It's no coincidence they really don't like each other, [[spoiler: and Erika knew what Rikka really was from the start.]]

* HotForTeacher: Most of the cast finds Sister Dalia attractive, but Erika is the closest to her in the entire class. [[spoiler: Sister Dalia is even ''Été'' 's non-canon route, and Erika has feelings for her during the True Route as well.]]

* TheSmartGirl: As expected of Suoh's bookworm buddy. While solving mysteries is an Innocent Grey staple, Erika also has the dubious honor of [[spoiler: being the instigator of the first mystery in the ''Flowers'' series, which is difficult to solve without Google and a walkthrough.]]
* SnarkKnight: Erika's witty, biting comments practically define her. She's not too big to make self-deprecating jokes about herself, either.

* AdvertisedExtra: Despite being dearly important to Suoh as one of her Amitié and [[spoiler: the True Route of the first game, and thus, Suoh's canon partner]], she only shows up in two games and doesn't get as much screentime as Rikka in ''Printemps''.

* {{Gayngst}}: Mayuri gets hit ''hard'' with this. She overcomes it [[spoiler: after confessing to Rikka, and even has a loving relationship with Suoh in the True Route that lasts until her reappearance in ''Hiver''.]]

* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Gives one to Rikka. It doesn't go well, but she earns Suoh's empathy and reconciles with her in doing. And then again to Suoh, after the Feast of the Assumption.]]
* TheOneThatGotAway: [[spoiler: For Suoh at the end of the first game. Thankfully, she comes back.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her when [[spoiler: her disappearance is Suoh's driving motivation after ''Printemps''.]]

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Is a point in the series's only true love triangle. [[spoiler: She's deeply in love with Suoh, but Suoh likes Mayuri. Ironically, Mayuri is in love with Rikka for the first half of the game.]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Her younger brother is this for her. [[spoiler: This has given her a pretty severe inferiority complex.]]
* [[spoiler: BigBad: The closest thing to one in the first game.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: It's hardly fair to call her a "bitch" but the sheer emotional abuse (and manipulation) she puts Suoh through in the first game qualifies her for this, despite her initial innocent appearance.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: To Suoh. Doesn't like it when the Sasakis pull Suoh away for cooking club and really doesn't like that [[spoiler: Suoh is so fascinated by Mayuri.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Suoh and Mayuri don't hold her any ill will for what she did. The narrative doesn't punish her for blackmailing Mayuri and coercing Suoh either...besides the fact Suoh will never return her feelings, and that her and Mayuri will become lovers.]]

* FreudianExcuse: She's been second-best more or less all her life, and her insecurities catch up with her when [[spoiler: she loses the role of the Virgin Mary to Mayuri and it becomes clear that Suoh prefers Mayuri over her. The threat of being second in Suoh's affections causes Rikka to snap and threaten to expose Mayuri as a lesbian in order to coerce Suoh into a relationship with her.]]

* HopelessSuitor: [[spoiler: Though she has a route of her own in ''Printemps'', the True Route has her as this for Suoh. Rikka/Suoh is all the more hopeless in later installments, as Suoh's relationship with Mayuri is the overarching plot that connects the games.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Rather telling about her [[spoiler: true personality, is as soon as she hears Mayuri is a lesbian, she starts plotting a way to blackmail her, without a single thought about how she feels. Suoh calls her out on it.]]
* {{Meganekko}}
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Has a sprite that's exactly this.

* TheGadfly: Along with her sister. Ichigo often says and does things with the sole intent of making her friends blush. [[spoiler: One of her pranks results in one of the more worrying mysteries in ''Printemps''. Her motive? She and her sister wanted to transfer out of the academy but decided to play one last prank to see how everyone would react before they do. Thankfully, Suoh solving the case convinces them out of it, but the main trio are terrified for her before the mystery is solved.]]

* Bookworm: Along with Suoh and Erika. The three of them even have a discussion about a novel in ''Printemps.''

* GreenEyedMonster: Is this when she realizes [[spoiler: that she has feelings for Erika, but that Erika has feelings for Sister Dalia.]] Unfortunately, she takes her frustration about this development out on Erika.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Chidori is proud, curt, and has a tendency to speak before thinking. She manages to upset even ''Suoh'' when she transfers in. But she means well for the most part, and her main motivation for [[spoiler: ''Été'''s first mystery is to keep from upsetting Suoh again.]]
* Kuudere: Type 2. Though initially icy and aloof when introduced, she warms up to the cast and shows a much sweeter side to [[spoiler: Erika]] in private.

!!First Year Students:

[[folder:Mayuri Kohsaka]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c_mayuri0.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Rie Okamoto
One of Suoh's Amitié partners and the object of her admiration. An easy-going and charismatic girl whose warm personality draws Suoh in. Though Suoh is the main character of the series, Mayuri is the axis around which the story revolves.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Though her appearance and hobbies aren't particularly masculine, Suoh makes a point of noticing that she has several attractive and androgynous qualities, though not to the extent of Yuzuriha.
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite being dearly important to Suoh as one of her Amitié and [[spoiler: the True Route of the first game, and thus, Suoh's canon partner]], she only shows up in two games and doesn't get as much screentime as Rikka in ''Printemps''.
* FlowerMotifs: White lilies, symbolizing purity, dignity, and the Virgin Mary. (And obviously, yuri.)
* {{Gayngst}}: Mayuri gets hit ''hard'' with this. She overcomes it [[spoiler: after confessing to Rikka, and even has a loving relationship with Suoh in the True Route that lasts until her reappearance in ''Hiver''.]]
* IdiotHair: It's subtle, but Mayuri has two cowlicks on the crown of her head.
* InSeriesNickname: The Sasaki twins call her 'Yuri'.
* UsefulNotes/JapaneseChristian: Unlike most of the rest of the cast, Mayuri is an actual Christian and not just someone going to a Christian school. Her family are devoted Catholics and she herself believes in God, but her faith clashes completely with her sexuality.
* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Gives one to Rikka. It doesn't go well, but she earns Suoh's empathy and reconciles with her in doing. And then again to Suoh, after the Feast of the Assumption.]]
* TheOneThatGotAway: [[spoiler: For Suoh at the end of the first game. Thankfully, she comes back.]]
* PutOnABus: For two games!
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her when [[spoiler: her disappearance is Suoh's driving motivation after ''Printemps''.]]
* WhenSheSmiles: An example of GameplayAndStorySegregation, as many of her sprites show her smiling. However, Suoh's narration reveals that a smile from Mayuri is quite rare.

[[folder:Rikka Hanabishi]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2_rikka0.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Yûri Akeshima
Suoh's second Amitié partner and the freshman class's president. A thoughtful, responsible, and gentle girl who takes pride in being able to accomplish the tasks entrusted to her. Because she's so serious, many of the more mischievous cast members make a point of teasing her.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Is a point in the series's only true love triangle. [[spoiler: She's deeply in love with Suoh, but Suoh likes Mayuri. Ironically, Mayuri is in love with Rikka for the first half of the game.]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Her younger brother is this for her. [[spoiler: This has given her a pretty severe inferiority complex.]]
* [[spoiler: BigBad: The closest thing to one in the first game.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: It's hardly fair to call her a "bitch" but the sheer emotional abuse (and manipulation) she puts Suoh through in the first game qualifies her for this, despite her initial innocent appearance.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: To Suoh. Doesn't like it when the Sasakis pull Suoh away for cooking club and really doesn't like that [[spoiler: Suoh is so fascinated by Mayuri.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Suoh and Mayuri don't hold her any ill will for what she did. The narrative doesn't punish her for blackmailing Mayuri and coercing Suoh either...besides the fact Suoh will never return her feelings, and that her and Mayuri will become lovers.]]
* FlowerMotifs: Poppies, which symbolize both wishes and rejection in hanakotoba.
* FreudianExcuse: She's been second-best more or less all her life, and her insecurities catch up with her when [[spoiler: she loses the role of the Virgin Mary to Mayuri and it becomes clear that Suoh prefers Mayuri over her. The threat of being second in Suoh's affections causes Rikka to snap and threaten to expose Mayuri as a lesbian in order to coerce Suoh into a relationship with her.]]
* GoGetterGirl: Class president, choir club singer, academic powerhouse, and all-around nice girl! She hosts tea and birthday parties frequently and pays for the refreshments out of her own pocket. It's implied that Rikka pushes herself so hard because of her family's expectations.
* HopelessSuitor: [[spoiler: Though she has a route of her own in ''Printemps'', the True Route has her as this for Suoh. Rikka/Suoh is all the more hopeless in later installments, as Suoh's relationship with Mayuri is the overarching plot that connects the games.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Rather telling about her [[spoiler: true personality, is as soon as she hears Mayuri is a lesbian, she starts plotting a way to blackmail her, without a single thought about how she feels. Suoh calls her out on it.]]
* {{Meganekko}}
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Has a sprite that's exactly this.

[[folder:Erika Yaegaki]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2_erika0.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura
A self-described misanthrope with a mischievous streak and a sharp tongue. A cynical loner and Suoh's book buddy. The protagonist of the second game, ''Flowers: Le volume sur Été''.

* AnimalMotifs: Her large eyes and smile are noted to be reminiscent of a cat, which her aloof personality only contributes to.
* TheCynic: Noted by the cast to always have something cynical to say.
* DefrostingIceQueen: For all that she tries to hold herself aloof, Erika can't stop herself from warming up to the cast.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Erika loudly and shamelessly declares her appreciation for Nerine's looks upon their first meeting. Likewise, Erika has no qualms checking out Chidori and Sister Dalia when the opportunity arises.
* TheGadfly: Cheekily teases the cast for her own amusement, with Rikka being the most common victim. She'll awkwardly apologize if she's sensed she went too far, though.
* FlowerMotifs: Heather (the meaning of her name), symbolizing solitude, rest, modesty, and benevolence.
* {{Foil}}: Is ultimately one to Rikka. They both act as Suoh's close confidantes, but one is very socially inward, the other, almost always the center of attention. [[spoiler: Rikka ends up becoming a borderline FalseFriend to Suoh, trying to get close by hurting the target of her affections out of jealousy becoming the BigBad of the first game, whilst Erika has UndyingLoyalty to her BestFriend, supports her fully from the start about her relationship with Mayuri, and ''never'' once betrays her.]] It's no coincidence they really don't like each other, [[spoiler: and Erika knew what Rikka really was from the start.]]
* HiddenDepths: Admits that she'd like to sing Brody's ''Immigrant Song'' and is an avid fan of baseball.
* HotForTeacher: Most of the cast finds Sister Dalia attractive, but Erika is the closest to her in the entire class. [[spoiler: Sister Dalia is even ''Été'' 's non-canon route, and Erika has feelings for her during the True Route as well.]]
* LonerTurnedFriend: While she considers Suoh a comrade in being a social outcast and bookworm, Erika is slow to warm up to the other members of the cast. By the fourth game, however, she's well and truly integrated into the freshman class.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Defines Erika to a tee. Though often rude, abrasive, and troublesome, Erika is still the first person Suoh turns to in times of need and always manages to give good advice. Erika also has a soft spot for the twins, though that doesn't stop her from teasing them relentlessly.
* PetTheDog: Downright sweet to Suoh, compared to how she acts to everyone else. Proves to be a loyal friend and confidant to Suoh when it comes to things that she can't share with even her Amitiés.
* PromotedToPlayable: Erika becomes playable in the second installment and maintains a strong presence in the third and fourth games.
* TheSmartGirl: As expected of Suoh's bookworm buddy. While solving mysteries is an Innocent Grey staple, Erika also has the dubious honor of [[spoiler: being the instigator of the first mystery in the ''Flowers'' series, which is difficult to solve without Google and a walkthrough.]]
* SnarkKnight: Erika's witty, biting comments practically define her. She's not too big to make self-deprecating jokes about herself, either.

[[folder:Ichigo Sasaki]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2_ichigo0.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JuriNagatsuma
The energetic and gregarious elder sister of the Sasaki twins. Curious and mischievous with a penchant for pranks, Ichigo is a member of the cooking club and along with her sister, has the coveted honor of being Suoh's first friend.

* CuriousAsAMonkey: Likes to ask questions and investigate. This gets her into trouble or makes trouble for her friends more often than not, but Ichigo (and by extension, Ringo) are always easily forgiven.
* FlowerMotifs: Strawberry flowers, of course.
* TheGadfly: Along with her sister. Ichigo often says and does things with the sole intent of making her friends blush. [[spoiler: One of her pranks results in one of the more worrying mysteries in ''Printemps''. Her motive? She and her sister wanted to transfer out of the academy but decided to play one last prank to see how everyone would react before they do. Thankfully, Suoh solving the case convinces them out of it, but the main trio are terrified for her before the mystery is solved.]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Ichigo's enthusiasm comes hand in hand with an inability to read the mood.
* TheNicknamer: Comes up with many for the members of the cast. Calls Mayuri 'Yuri' and Chidori 'Chidorin'.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Ichigo is the oldest student in the freshman class. This trope also applies to Ringo, but since Ichigo is the older twin...

[[folder:Ringo Sasaki]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2_ringo0.jpg]]

The younger of the Sasaki twins. Where Ichigo is active and excitable, Ringo is studious and lethargic. She and Ichigo are both members of the cooking club (the difference being that Ringo actually cooks).

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler: Is in love with Yuzuriha by the third game. Unfortunately for her, Yuzuriha has been in love with Nerine for years.]]
* Bookworm: Along with Suoh and Erika. The three of them even have a discussion about a novel in ''Printemps.''
* FlowerMotifs: Apple blossoms, naturally.
* HiddenDepths: As lazy as she is, Ringo is quite the bookworm and enjoys talking about books with her friends.
* HopelessSuitor: [[spoiler: For Yuzuriha. Much like Rikka, the True Route of ''Automne'' is someone other than her; in this case, Nerine.]]
* SleepyHead: Introduced as such on the first day of classes. Ichigo has to wake her up to greet Suoh.

[[folder:Chidori Takasaki]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2_chidori0.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaSuzaki
A talented ballet dancer with a tendency to ask after things she shouldn't. She seems unapproachable and has diva-like tendencies. Erika's Amitié partner.

!!Other Members of Saint Angraecum Academy:
[[folder:Yuzuriha Yatsushiro]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2_yuzuriha0.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeiMizusawa
A second year and president of the Council of Nicaea, which is the equivalent of the academy's student council. Yuzuriha is also a member of the cooking club and choir. Theatrical, athletic, and flirtatious, there isn't much that Yuzuriha can't do... besides cooking, that is. The protagonist of the third game, ''Flowers: Le volume sur Automne''.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler: With Nerine.]] At least, for most of the third game.
* TheAce: As stated, there isn't much that Yuzuriha can't do. In addition to being the head of the Council of Nicaea, she's a talented singer, pianist, and athlete. The only thing that she can't seem to succeed in is cooking, though even then she shows room for growth.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Acts more boyishly than anyone else in the cast and even uses the personal pronoun "boku" in addition to adding "-kun" to the ends of her friends' names. Even Suoh is drawn to her princely appearance and flirtatious ways before becoming more familiar with her.
* ButNotTooForeign: Her grandfather was British, but she was born and raised in Tokyo. Being a quarter-British is apparently enough to give her silver hair, however.
* CoolBigSis: She's a total weirdo and most of the underclassmen are slightly exasperated by her antics, but Yuzuriha undoubtedly acts as this for Suoh and the Sasaki twins.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Nerine.
* TheCynic: Unexpectedly, theatrical, jovial Yuzuriha is quite prone to being this.
* EvenGirlsWantHer: Not unexpected considering Yuzuriha's looks, personality, and the series's setting, but Yuzuriha always turns down the girls who confess to her because she's a lesbian and [[spoiler: in love with Nerine.]] The former reason makes sense, apparently.
* FlowerMotifs: Daphniphyllum (yuzuriha), a kind of flowering shrub native to China. A symbol of rejuvenation and inheritance.
* UsefulNotes/JapaneseChristian: One of the few characters in this ostensibly Christian school who is actually Christian, alongside Nerine. Unusually, it doesn't appear to cause her any issues with regards to her sexuality.
* LargeHam: Oh, Yuzuriha. She's known for being theatrical; [[spoiler: the third game reveals this to just be an act.]]
* LethalChef: Despite being in the cooking club, Yuzuriha has absolutely no talent for cooking. This is especially frustrating for her because she's so good at everything else. But Yuzuriha is working on it, and with Suoh's help and persistent practice, even manages to make something edible.
* NoSenseofPersonalSpace: Yuzuriha is very informal and quick to be affectionate to those around her. She makes a habit of finding new and incredibly touchy ways to greet Suoh. At one point, she even licks sauce off of Suoh's cheek!
* PromotedToPlayable: Introduced in the first game and upgrades to protagonist in the third.
* RedOniBlueOni: With Nerine. Yuzuriha, for all her popularity, is well-known as the school weirdo and is regarded as such by most of the cast. Nerine, on the other hand, is the definition of TheOjou.
* StudentCouncilPresident: And she has all the talent and prestige that comes with it. However, she is also a member of the choir and cooking club.

[[folder:Nerine Komikado]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2_nerine0.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Yuka Nishiguchi
Vice-president of the Council of Nicaea and president of the choir. She's half Italian and is noted for her angelic, ethereal beauty. Unknown to most of the student body, however, she has a fascination with the occult and enjoys eating while strolling.

* MixedAncestry: Her mother is full Japanese, but her father is an Italian pastor.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Juri Nagatsuma

-->'''Voiced by:''' Juri Nagatsuma

* NotSoDifferent: Is this with Suoh, and is the first to reach out to her after Suoh's first panic attack. [[spoiler: In the end, this is what ultimately resolves the love triangle; Mayuri and Suoh's tragic pasts are similar enough that they can understand and fall in love with each other.]]

* UsefulNotes/JapaneseChristian: One of the few characters in this ostensibly Christian school who is actually Christian, alongside Nerine. Unusually, it doesn't appear to cause her much issues with her regarding her sexuality.

* JapaneseChristian: One of the few characters in this ostensibly Christian school who is actually Christian, alongside Yuzuriha. The lack of her sexuality not clashing with her faith is even more pronounced considering that her father is a Pastor.

* CreepyChild: Somewhat. Whilst Suoh is ultimately a very sweet girl, she is incredibly socially awkward, and addicted to horror movies and novels, as well as frightening her friends. It's quite telling the person she most identifies with in The Bible is ''Judas Iscariot''.

* IAmNotPretty: Practically every character comments on Suoh's beauty at some point, but Suoh's self-esteem is so low that she not only doesn't believe them, but goes on to wonder why they would ''lie to her like that''.

* EatingTheEyeCandy: Erika loudly and shamelessly declares her appreciation for Nerine's looks upon their first meeting. Likewise, Erika has no qualms checking out Chidori and Sister Dalia out when the opportunity arises.

* {{Foil}}: Is ultimately one to Rikka. They both act as Suoh's close confidantes, but one is very socially inward, the other, almost always the centre of attention. [[spoiler: Rikka ends up becoming a borderline FalseFriend to Suoh, trying to get close by hurting the target of her affections out of jealousy becoming the BigBad of the first game, whilst Erika has UndyingLoyalty to her BestFriend, supports her fully from the start about her relationship with Mayuri, and ''never'' once betrays her.]] It's no coincidence they really don't like each other, [[spoiler: and Erika knew what Rikka really was from the start.]]

* TheGadfly: Along with her sister. Ichigo often says and does things with the sole intent of making her friends blush. [[spoiler: One of her pranks results in one of the more worrying mysteries in ''Printemps''. Her motive? She and her sisters wanted to transfer out of the academy, but decided to play one last prank to see how everyone would react before they do. Thankfully, Suoh solving the case convinces them out of it, but the main trio are terrified for her before the mystery is solved.]]

* DeathGlare: Many of her default sprites has her glowering from under her bangs, and in-universe, her nasty expression is one of the reasons why students find her unapproachable. In truth, Chidori is making that face because she needs glasses and can't really see.

A second year and president of the Council of Nicaea, which is the equivalent of the academy's student council. Yuzuriha is also a member of the cooking club and choir. Theatrical, athletic, and flirtatious, there isn't much that Yuzuriha can't do... besides cooking, that is. Nerine's Amitié; partner.

Vice-president of the Council of Nicaea and president of the choir. She's half Italian and is noted for her angelic, ethereal beauty. Unknown to most of the student body, however, she has a fascination with the occult and enjoys eating while strolling. Yuzuriha's Amitié; partner.

A talented ballet dancer with a tendency to ask after things she shouldn't. She seems unapproachable and has diva-like tendencies. Erika's Amitié; partner.

* Cloudcuckoolander: Though she seems like the very definition of the sophisticated, elegant (especially compared to Yuzuriha) upperclassman, she has a deep fascination with the occult and a bottomless pit of a stomach when it comes to sweets.

* CreepyChild: Somewhat. Whilst Suoh is ultimately a very sweet girl, she is incredibly socially akward, and addicted to horror movies and novels, as well as frightening her friends. It's quite telling the person she most identifies with in The Bible is ''Judas Iscariot''.

* HiddenDepths: Suoh's favorite movies are ''The Shankshaw Redemption'' and ''Gladiator'', and she absolutely adores zombies.

A self-described misanthrope with a mischievous streak and a sharp tongue. A cynical loner and Suoh's book buddy. The protagonist of the second game, ''Flowers: Le volume de Ete''.

* HotForTeacher: Most of the cast finds Sister Dalia attractive, but Erika is the closest to her in the entire class. [[spoiler: Sister Dalia is even ''Ete'' 's non-canon route, and Erika has feelings for her during the True Route as well.]]

* DefrostingIceQueen: Tells Erika that she'd rather not waste time speaking with her when they first meet. By the end of ''Ete'', Chidori is downright mushy over her.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Chidori is proud, curt, and has a tendency to speak before thinking. She manages to upset even ''Suoh'' when she transfers in. But she means well for the most part, and her main motivation for [[spoiler: ''Ete'''s first mystery is to keep from upsetting Suoh again.]]

* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted for the most part. Sister Dalia reaches out to the protagonists when she notices that they're having a hard time and even assists Erika in lieu of her Amitié in ''Ete''. She also accompanies Erika and co. on some mystery investigations in the second game.

A wheelchair-bound girl with a mischievous streak and a sharp tongue. A cynical loner and Suoh's book buddy. The protagonist of the second game, ''Flowers: Le volume de Ete''.

One of Suoh's Amitié; partners and the object of her admiration. An easy-going and charismatic girl whose warm personality draws Suoh in. Though Suoh is the main character of the series, Mayuri is the axis around which the story revolves.

* FlowerMotifs: White lilies, symbolizing purity, dignity, and the Virgin Mary.

[[folder:Suoh Shiramine]]

The first and main protagonist of ''Flowers.'' Suoh Shiramine is a shy, socially-anxious girl known for her bookwormish tendencies and cool, mature beauty. Debuts in ''Flowers: Le volume sur Printemps'' and returns as the main character of ''Flowers: Le volume sur Hiver''.
