Procreation	Fluers attract partners of other (very small) species (including rodents, insects, and other small animals) to mate with, bringing them into their flowers. The process can be risky for their partners. The fluer becomes pregnant and enters her bonded flower, and when she gives birth, her child becomes part of the flower. Their floral generations reproduce via normal processes depending on the variety of their flower, usually producing a little seed that grows into a new fluer.
Generations	Fluers' forms alternate between generations. One generation is a tiny human-like being with floral features, the next is a sentient flower.
Esoterica	Fluers are beings of greenlight aether and radiance. Using either is not uncommon. They also often use other kinds of aether. Other common energies wielded include dumaqu, Foundation, emotional resonance, heavenly light, mana, poioumenon, yahas, radiance, ordinal energies, and spirits. The only energies they cannot use are brown aether and despair resonance.
