Noelle "Florence" Drakenhardt
“Il n’est rien de réel que le rêve et l’amour.”
"Nothing is real but dreams and love."
– Anna de Noailles


28 | May 17th | NB, femme presenting, she/her| Bisexual | Sands of Time Dragon | Student | College Freshman | Medical


APPEARANCE
With Noelle's dyed hair and contacts and Florence keeping her natural red hair and orange eye color, the two do not look too much alike until they are put side by side. Only then can one notice the similarities in their bone structure, their similar pear-shaped figures. Florence is obviously a bit older, with slightly more mature features, but even to those who don't know that Florence is a literal copy of Noelle, it would be clear to them that they are closely related in some way.

Florence still prefers to dress in masculine garb that she is accustom to from 17th century France. She does not particularly like the massive, petticoated dresses of the time due to how restrictive wearing them was. She is slightly more willing to try the less difficult feminine clothes of modern times, but at the moment more masculine clothing is still more of her comfort zone.

Florence always wears her rapier sword at her side.

Florence's Dragon form and Dragon Armor are the exact same as Noelle's.


Noelle’s dragon form is…not a conventional dragon, to put it mildly. She’s more like a Hydra, with the bulk of her body being where her multiple necks stretch out followed by a longer, skinnier section of her body like that of a snake. While she does have scales, Noelle’s dragon form looks more like gray and green contorted flesh than a conventional scaly dragon.

She has four pairs of leathery wings along her body to keep her in the air, and a pair of arms but no legs when she is on the ground. She slithers like a snake, and has to use her arms to hold up her massive body.

Noelle’s multiple heads each represent a copy of herself that she had created for her time travelling powers that later returned to her. Every time a copy of herself returns to her, a new head forms. She currently has eight heads. Each one has an eerie green glow within their eyes, nose, and mouth—and the section where the heads grow from has the same green glow as well.

Since Noelle is still a young dragon, the larger bulk of her body is about the size of an SUV, while her extended snake-like body extends about as long as a football field, 120 yards. Her longest and largest neck stretches 15 feet, while her shortest only reaches 6 feet.​



Noelle has a third form between human and dragon. She can build special armor around her body from parts of her dragon form--horns, claws, and wings. It resembles her dragon form with the dark gray 'skin' and glowing green parts.​

PERSONALITY
Eccentric. That is the first word that comes into most peoples' minds when they meet Florence. She's bold, brash, and tends to be the center of attention. She's highly intelligent, but many tend to not really notice because of her wild personality. She's stubborn too, insisting her ideas and methods are always the right away. It is very difficult for her to admit when she is wrong, which has made studying medicine all over again and being told that everything she knew in the 17th century was wrong very difficult...

Unlike Noelle, she is very social and loves talking to people. Florence seems to be a version of Noelle that managed to let go of all of her teenage inhibitions to become a free-spirited woman who cares little for what people think of her. She is an optimist as well, which particularly seems to drive Noelle crazy.

Florence likes Noelle, but Noelle does not like Florence. Deep down, there is probably a part of Noelle that is jealous of Florence and how carefree she is...but, for now, Noelle just says she's annoying.
ACTIVE ABILITIES
(Note: Florence's abilities are the exact same as Noelle's)

Dragon Form
As mentioned before, Florence’s dragon form is quite large and powerful. Her eight heads each have a set of strong fangs, and her arms have large sharp claws. She also has a pair of massive, ram-like horns which protrude directly on her body above her heads, rather than on one of her heads.
One of Florence’s major weaknesses in her dragon form is that her scales are small and not as protective as other dragons. It is fairly easy to stab through her flesh with a sharp weapon or claws—but since she is so large, it takes several attacks before she will start to weaken and become incapacitated.

Despite being elementally closer to an Earth dragon than any other type, Florence’s dragon form is faster in the air and rather sluggish on the ground. When grounded, Florence prefers to stay in one spot and use her powers to attack, rather than try to move around. If she needs to move, then she will take to the air with her four pairs of wings.

Dragon Armor
Florence gained a special ‘form’ from her birth mother, which is in between her dragon and human form. Pieces of her dragon body form over her human body like an armor. Her armor is mostly built of parts of her horns and claws—making her armor much stronger than the skin of her dragon form.
Florence is considerably stronger in her armor than when she is in her regular human form. She isn't much stronger in her human form than a regular, athletic teenage girl since she is so young, but in her armor she becomes strong enough to lift 1000 pounds.

Unlike Noelle, Florence has experience wielding swords and with combat.

Dragon Form and Dragon Armor Abilities
-Sinkholes: Only available to Florence in her dragon form. With the vibrations of her roar, Florence can open up sink holes as large as 150 meters/164 yards in the ground. Each one of her heads needs to roar in order to make this work—if even one is incapacitated, she cannot perform this power.

Florence's sinkholes could become deeper and larger if she could create more copies of herself and obtain more heads on her dragon body, but since she no longer can time travel, this is currently not an option.

-Earth Manipulation: Only available to Florence in her Dragon Form or Dragon Armor. Florence is able to manipulate the ground around her--causing rocky cliffs up to 30 feet high to form from flat ground. It is more of a defensive ability rather than an offensive one--she can manipulate the area around her during combat to throw off her attacker, or use the cliffsides as a shield to protect herself. This ability only works within a 10 mile radius around her.


Manipulating the Sands of Time
-Speed of Time: Florence is able to slow or speed up time for a temporary period--up to two minutes. Those around her are completely unaware of the change in time unless they can operate outside the constraints of time themselves. She can interact with objects and people in this state.

-Complete Stop: Florence can temporary halt time entirely. She becomes like a ghost in that time—unable to touch anything or harm anyone. She becomes incorporeal like a ghost as well--able to walk through walls.

Florence can halt time completely for up to 10 minutes before it will go back to normal for those around her. Just like when she manipulates the speed of time, those around her are completely unaware unless they are able to function outside the constraints of time as well.

Both of these abilities require a 'cool down' period before Florence can use them again. She has to wait 10 minutes before she can speed up/slow down time again, and 30 minutes before she can halt time entirely again.

PASSIVE ABILITIES

Functional Immortality
Just like the majority of her family, Florence will live for an indefinite amount of time unless she is killed by an outside source.

RESOURCES
She's a Drakenhardt.
HISTORY
Florence is a copy of Noelle, who creates alternate versions of herself in order to use her time traveling power. By creating copies of herself, Noelle can continue to function within her own time line while the copies experience other moments in time. Eventually, they return to Noelle's body and she gains all of their memories.

Noelle had sent this copy to 17th century France, but something went wrong during the process. The copy lost her memories, and soon became convinced she was an ordinary human who had lived in France her entire life. 'Florence' was just one of many names that she took on, as she led double, triple, and even more lives. While women in 17th century France were generally expected to be subservient to men and not independent, Florence managed to get away with a lot by using multiple identities and sometimes even cross dressing. Some of her identities include:

Candida Linville was a famous opera singer.

Sasha Bonnaire was a spice trader.

Arthur Beaumont was a famous swordsman and infamous casanova type figure.

Cyril Charron was a doctor, because Florence couldn't be one as a woman.

Florence Lyon was the female identity she took the most risks with. She was a swordswoman, even though women were not supposed to wield weapons. She was openly interested in men and women alike. When she got in too much trouble, she fled and Florence would 'disappear' for a while by taking on a new identity. Then sooner or later, she would get back up to her old shenanigans until she had to run away again.


To Florence, several years passed—she grew into a drastically different person from the teenage Noelle. While Noelle is a hyper self-conscious teenager, Florence grew into someone much more carefree and eager. Her life has been all about trying new things, taking risks, and being against the grain.

To Noelle, it was only a few months until Florence finally regained her memories of who she truly was. She was able to return to Noelle's regular timeline, but something about Florence temporarily losing her memories of Noelle and living her own life caused Noelle's time travel power to 'break'. Rather than merge back into Noelle's conscious, Florence continued to exist as a separate entity. Noelle could no longer make copies of herself to time travel.

Unsure of how to handle the situation, Noelle's parents decided it may be in both of their best interest to go to Manta Carlos. Noelle could try to regain her time travel powers and figure out what went wrong, while Florence could safely adjust to this new timeline without potentially breaking the veil.

In addition, Florence expressed an interest in going back into medicine. Much to her surprise, becoming a doctor had become a drastically longer and more complicated process. All her medical knowledge from 17th century France was basically useless, and she would have to start over from the beginning. It was a huge culture shock to discover that alcohol and cocaine were not cure-alls, and were not even considered medicine anymore!

Baby steps, Florence.​
Additional Info
-Supporting Character

-Where She Lives: Drakenhardt Mansion

-Relationship Status: Single. Does not get tied down to one person easily.

-The reason Florence considers herself non-binary is because, like Noelle, while she likes to present as feminine and is comfortable with female pronouns, she also finds she is very comfortable presenting as male when she creates copies of herself to go back in time.

-Speaks fluent English and French. Speaks decent German and Italian, and some Arabic.​
