What plot points would change due to the inclusion of your character in canon?

what if flori was canon // @kennheir

in this is the part where you run, there is a five foot four vampire named floribeth dalisay present during the scene where lizzie talks to rafael at the sports field. this vampire wears a braid, pastel colored sweater and a skirt. this vampire will be seen again at the end of the episode, during the party at the old mill, where she keeps to herself, drinks a blood bag and stares at the werewolves being rowdy; she stares at one werewolf in particular: jed tien.

during some people just want to watch the world burn, flori is present at the annual flag football game for wade and wade only. even if he doesn't really have that big a role. he's still her friend and she's there to support him. she's not really a big sports fan so it's no skin off her nose whether the salvatore stallions win or lose.

(the dragon girl that hope kills in the woods, however, is the dragon princess from the night world, tying the show to the books.)

the next time flori appears is in we're being punked, pedro which means that she, too, got in trouble. well, she got in trouble by proxy because some of the timberwolves taped the flag football game, questioning kaleb's sudden agility. flori hacked their devices and deleted the video in question and now she's joining mg, lizzie, hope and josie in the town square.

during this episode it becomes clear that she mostly hangs out with mia hirsch / @fellvespers who is flori's best friend, together with loren bennett / @founderscouncil.

there is an extra scene in which flori laments about getting in trouble for doing the right thing.

during this episode flori sees donovan lockwood / @shadowbrn for the first time but the two won't interact at all until donovan triggers his wolf curse and transfers.

connor throws the milkshake on lizzie and acts as though it was an accident but the milkshake hits mia too. fortunately it's strawberry and not chocolate, otherwise things would have ended up very ugly. donovan - a bystander to all of this - doesn't say anything and flori leaves with mia, disappointed in his actions.

once they're back at the school, lizzie refuses to go back to the square and goes to help out the tiny witch kids which includes everyone's favorite kiddo pedro.

flori vanishes to her room after double checking and making sure that mia is okay, leaving her with loren; though she promised emma, dorian and alaric she would quit hacking, she intends to get into dana and connor's devices, either scrambling it or extracting information to be used at a later date, for what they both put mia through.

flori is present in the assembly hall when alaric gives his speech, but she's only half listening to what he's saying, busying herself with thoughts of vengeance on certain timberwolves.

so of course she'd want to join the team during hope is not the goal. connor and dana hurt one of her best friends and this cannot go unpunished. emma tig, however, knows what makes flori tick and explicitly forbids alaric to send flori to mystic falls high. for once, he listens to her.

this means that she's at the school and present during lunchtime when jed and rafael have their stand off in the mess hall, as she'd been sitting with josie who has been pouring over the curriculum.

later, when it turns out that dana and connor are both incapitated, flori feels bad. they were terrible people, yes, but they didn't deserve to get hurt and potentially die for it.

flori abandons her short lived revenge plot but fiercely wishes she went through with it when connor and dana end up at the salvatore boarding school as the only pair of arachne's in existence, in the know about the supernatural.

in malivore, flori wants nothing to do with the honor council. she's got her own things going on and being on that council would only interfere. so flori votes for mg but when kaleb gets the spot, she doesn't contest it either.

weirdness aside, landon seems like a nice enough person. flori's gotten used to his presence and will miss seeing him around - he's one of the people aside from wade and mg who speaks nerd fluently - but she also understands why he got voted out.

ironically enough, due to her trying her hardest to avoid dana and connor, flori gets roped into giving them the tour. during the tour, they heckle her and while flori tries not to take it personally, she ends up yelling at them when they bring up mia (and loren) because she still hasn't forgiven them for hurting one of her best friends.

flori is warmer to donovan and is willing to be his friend, seeing in him a lot of what she sees in jed: someone who hides his good heart, someone with the potential to be more than what he is right now; someone who needs a person in their corner. flori is willing to be that person. provided donovan apologizes properly to mia first.

during mombie dearest, flori drops by the twins' bedroom while they're getting ready to drop off her presents for them mere minutes before penelope shows up to deliver the bad news about caroline.

she's not a party person at all but she shows up for a moment, wearing this dress and yes, it's not the only time she'll wear this dress during this season.

jo and cassie aren't the only ones brought back: the necromancer also brings back flori's mom selena, citing that it's easier to pull people back to life who have a connection to the supernatural. when asked why her dad isn't here, the necromancer says that her dad already found peace and wouldn't budge.

flori spends the rest of this episode with her mom, catching her up to speed, only for her to reveal that she knows most things already. selena had been at peace together with raul and they'd been watching her.

when they're walking to the old mill, she apologizes for the fact that her actions led to their deaths. selena hugs her and says that she is forgiven and that her dad forgives her too.

flori tells her mom that she's a vampire and her mom takes it in stride. says that she figured it was something like this. it reminded her of the poetry slam flori took her and her husband to before she came out as pansexual. instead of a poetry slam, it's a zombie slam.

they briefly talk about her friends and about the guy she's got a crush on. flori's mom tells her that jed's rough around the edges but that she likes him so much more than doug carson.

unfortunately they're attacked by zombies again and both flori and her mom flee, finding refuge within the school.

while the twins siphon the magic keeping her alive from jo, selena crumbles to dust in flori's arms.

(flori initially assumes that the connection that the necromancer talked about was her being a vampire. later, she'll find out that selena harman is actually descended from a powerful witch bloodline and chose to erase her memories and bind her powers.)

rememberance day is never a good day for flori. but during death keeps knocking on my door, she writes two letters as she does every year: one to her parents and one to sue carson.

turns out that the latter also got revived due to having unfinished business.

while the necromancer is being held in a cell, mg and kaleb are snacking on humans and rafael and alaric are figuring out what happened to cassie, flori just wants to spend as much time with sue as she can and lays everything out in the open, apologizing for everything.

sue doesn't believe her at first, thinking this is all an elaborate joke and expects doug to be in on it, so flori has to show sue her true face. then, sue goes from thinking it's a joke to being understandably horrified. she backs away, saying she wants to go home; she wants nothing to do with flori, either. not even when she feels her end coming.

though it breaks her heart to do so, flori says her goodbyes and tries her best to honor that decision.

flori ends the episode with putting the letters in an old shoebox at the back of her closet in which she keeps them all. but not before taking a picture of them on her phone. for safe keeping.

in maybe i should start from the end, flori is still reeling from everything that happened prior.

not only is she still mourning her parents and sue all over again, her roommate, a witch called drusilla kamiya, makes it clear that she's gonna have loren in her coven - drusilla collects powerful witches, see. it sucks because drusilla had been nice at first. perfectly pleasant, if a bit dark. she also badgers flori about her very obvious crush on jed, reminding her that there's a chance she'll have to bury him - and everyone she'll ever love - in the end.

landon's brought back home and when flori overhears hope muttering something about triad industries to herself, she once again resumes digging into them again.

exam week rolls around soon afterwards and not even flori - who has always been a meticulous student and is known for her good grades - is immune to stress, nightmares and the trappings of the night hag slash oneiroi in what was hope doing in your dreams?

flori's nightmares are mostly about sue and her parents but there are also flashes of the memory she's repressed about the time she got turned into a vampire by derek machado (who is, indeed, related to ethan, maya and sherriff mac) and other deep seated fears like getting captured by triad industries and having her fangs pulled out of her mouth without anaesthesia.

she ends the episode in the library at first, talking to dorian. he suggests, gently, that she should go and see emma.

in there's a world where your dreams came true, flori appears in each of lizzie's quote-unquote 'dream worlds'.

in the first reality, flori has arrived shortly before jed does and watches while he gets the tour. when asked why she stuck around in the first place, flori reveals that she has nowhere else to go.

in the second reality, flori is a transfer student from maple hollows high and a bit of a delinquent who uses her skills for favors or extra cash; she hides the fact that she's a vampire but yearns for a place where she can openly flash her fangs. when the students of the mikaelson school roll up, flori is quick to leave with them.

in the third reality, flori is on her own while triad wages war against all supernatural creatures. flori's attempts at exposing triad for being shady backfired: her parents died and sue died as well. wade died in front of her eyes too and she's lost sight of loren and mia. after getting out of the triad industries detention facility, her plan is to wait it out in one of the bunkers she stumbled upon. but when jed accidentally breaks into said bunker, flori joins forces with him and, together with jed and kaleb, takes lizzie to find alaric and the resistance, where flori earns her keep by helping with communications.

flori is determined to once again stay out of the limelight in we're gonna need a spotlight. she knows how to warble a tune and hold one too but has a severe case of stage fright. when pressed, flori says that just like landon, she doesn't sing in front of people. connor and dana make fun of her for it.

later, kaleb and mg rock the house down and flori sits in the front row, cheering loudly. she also cheers during the talent show redo when josie sings and when the vampires do a sit in protest during the second go around, flori slips out the door, intending to hang out with loren and mia, whose enrollment in the school is now finalized.

during there's a mummy on main street, it is revealed that flori is actually the one who told josie about the biggest ball of yarn in the country. it is also revealed that flori hails from maple hollows.

there would be an extra episode detailing flori's backstory pre enrolling as a year-round student at the salvatore boarding school, including the way in which she got turned.

it is set before the boy who still has a lot of good to do and after there's a mummy on main street in season 1 called the girl who does not remember where she came from will never reach her destination. which is a mouthful but it's chosen for a reason.

this is actually a filipino proverb that not only ties into flori's culture - i feel like her dad, especially, would be fond of proverbs like this - but also introduces her as a character because the way flori got turned by derek was so traumatic that she repressed the memory until she worked on it and through it with emma.

(personally i also feel like that episode title nods to finch, who is also filipina, too because finch repressed the memory of her turning into a werewolf as well due to it also being traumatic.)

it also ties her to her mom selena harman-dalisay who drank from the cup of lethe, binding her magic forever and deliberately chose to forget after she thought she lost not only her younger sisters but their kids as well.

(fortunately, the kids survived, but that's for later seasons.)

this episode title deliberately mirrors mg's, tying their triad stories together.

in the boy who still has a lot of good to do, flori joins the impromptu roadtrip to visit mg's parents but never comes back. most of the events play out as they do on the show, except veronica recognizes and remembers flori and remembers her hacking into the triad industries database.

veronica knocks her out with vervain and holds in the basement of the greasley house where veronica intends to question her, making it clear that she is not above using extreme methods, if necessary.

during let's just finish the dance, flori's not present and wade gets more and more pissed off with the fact that people are having a fucking pageant instead of looking for floribeth! like, hello?! priorities, people!

when it becomes clear that neither the super squad nor the adults give a fuck, he takes matters in his own hands and informs his crush brock - who sees it fit to inform rafael and jed, just in case wade calls upon brock to help out - as well as mia and loren.

wade leaves a note for donovan, too.

throughout the episode, it becomes clear that wade only pretends to be a bumbling fool; he's actually rather shrewd and cuts deals left and right. he knows what's going on in and around the school at all times.

in i'll tell you a story, flori awakens at triad industries, next to landon.

veronica tells flori that she's the one who ordered the hit on her parents after she caught flori hacking into the database; she actually wanted flori dead for her transgressions but when it turned out she wasn't home, she ordered her firing squad to take out flori's parents instead, to send a message. out of the goodness of her heart, she told them to make it look like an accident, too. veronica didn't have to do that, but she did. because she's no monster. and really, if flori hadn't been snooping, none of this would have happened in the first place.

she tells clarke to prep flori for transport to the triad industries detention facility. she also tells clarke to tie up loose ends and throw landon into the pit.

then, she leaves. clarke unties landon, who in turn unties flori. clarke beseeches landon to help him, but he refuses at first. flori, on the other hand, is more willing to cooperate. even if everything about triad is shady as hell.

clarke escapes with landon and wade rescues flori. they hug and wade mutters wetly that they're even now because flori got him out of zetes. he's asked about what or who zetes is but doesn't elaborate.

triad storms the school in there's always a loophole and flori runs into kaleb while he's trying to get the kids out and to the bus. she, wade and the others help with that.

after the siege, flori is one of the many students sitting in the assembly hall. alaric comes clean about everything and gets voted out.

the episode ends with loren and flori laying on the floor of loren's bedroom; flori reads a text aloud, it's from mia telling them she's on her way from the kitchen with snacks. loren tells flori that bonnie will come back to teach at the salvatore boarding school in the fall now that alaric's booted out.

i'll never give up hope (the premiere of s2) would be longer because there would be quite a few scenes detailing the growing connection between jed and flori and their quote-unquote "break up".

there would be multiple scenes involving loren and mia and flori as well. they've become the anti squad to the super squad, after all.

and now that bonnie's come back to teach, there will be scenes dedicated to that change too.

in this year will be different, emma assigns flori homework: she is to write about what she wants for this year and then chase after it with all her might.

thing is, though, all she wants is for her friends to be happy and healthy, the malivore problem to be solved and jed. she wants jed. except alyssa chang's hanging off his arm at every social function.

so to forget about that, she throws herself into researching malivore and comes up with a working theory: malivore is part of the dark dimension and it is so much bigger than people initially suspected. unfortunately, there is no way to test that theory so flori keeps it to herself.

during you remind me of someone that i used to know, flori joins rafael and landon at mystic falls high. they go there for hope. flori goes there because she caught wind of ethan and maya machado. she recognizes the surname instantly; her sire has the same one. turns out, they're related. derek is ethan and maya's uncle.

during the timberwolves vs stallion football game, flori watches as josie breaks ethan's arm and she visibly winces.

in since when do you speak japanese? flori's role is small. she researches and looks stuff up about the oni, passing on that information to the anti and super squad alike.

there is an 80's decade dance in screw endgame and flori attends.

no shortage of celebrations this year, it seems, because commonwealth day gets celebrated during that's nothing i had to remember; flori doesn't help with the celebrations, however. she's too busy with her research on malivore and digging into the machado family to find out how much they know of derek.

she's also trying her hardest not to be where sebastian is.

during this episode, josie restores everyone's memories, including flori's.

in it will all be painfully clear soon enough, flori catches wind of josie's risky plan to close the malivore portal and decides to help out, sharing all her research up until this point.

when she hears about the prophecy, flori lights up; she loves a good brain teaser. she has a brief conversation with the sphinx before lizzie does - conversing in snippets of poetry and philosophical questions - and admits that the sphinx is her favorite malivore creature thus far.

flori is absent in this christmas was surprisingly violent but is mentioned by name.

during i couldn't have done this without you, flori remains in the background until alyssa drops a plate and slices herself. dorian calls for the vampires to go and for the wolves to form a packline around alyssa but sebastian talks mg through his bloodlust. elsewhere, jed does the same for flori and they share a moment before he walks her to mia and loren.

she's also seen in this is why we don't entrust plans to muppet babies. normally flori has nothing to do with coven day but loren is a bennett and now, with bonnie back at the school, flori decides to sit in on one. wade reveals himself to be a fae and alyssa makes fun of him. connor and dana join in.

afterwards, wade and flori have a conversation about the zetes institute, emmanuel zetes and wade's past. she mentions something that the necromancer said: souls with connection to the supernatural are easier to pull back to the land of the living. at first, flori thought that her being a vampire was the connection. but it isn't.

together, they dig into the harman family and discover that there is so much more to the supernatural world than they thought; there is so much more than they knew.

flori finds out that the harman family is basically witch royalty - next to the bennetts - and that her knack for mind dives, reverse mind dives and compulsion stems from the magic she would have been able to do, had she not been turned.

flori reveals this to her best friends and confronts alaric about the night people afterwards. he reveals to be in the know, revealing emma and dorian to be in the know too.

during what cupid problem? flori gets hit with an arrow too, lowering her inhibitions. she seeks out jed, intending to confess to him. but when she sees him with emma tig, she runs from the scene; emma rejects jed and then he follows her. they have a conversation afterwards.

flori is absent in kai parker screwed us but is mentioned by name and is called a genius as well as a "swiss army knife if a swiss army knife was a person".

flori's role is relatively small in you can't save them all. she briefly talks to alyssa when the former is being held captive in the werewolf transition cells, trying to get her to switch sides but it doesn't work. alyssa tells her that she knows about flori's crush on jed and gets under flori's skin with a few well timed sneers about her and her family.

in order to deal with their recent trauma, emma suggests group therapy in the form of the therapy box. they end up in a noir film called: there's a place where lost things go. noir flori is seen at the salvatore hotel, in charge of communications. she's also seen at mg's workplace, working up the nerve to go inside and ask if he or his colleagues can help her find her estranged family after he clears his case. before flori can enter the police station and set everything in motion, she gets killed by the murderer and gets ejected from the simulation.

flori is present during the tough, bloody and final fight between lizzie and josie during life was so much easier when i only cared about myself. the room is awash with magic, however, and it knocks her out so she doesn't know which one of the twins has won.

dark josie (who is really just josie) runs rampant and alyssa returns in facing darkness is kinda my thing. flori wakes up and fears that this means that josie has won and all is lost. however, mg fills her in on the plan and flori gets on board.

later, when everything has blown over, flori tells that she is glad to find her alive. even if lizzie might've told her that she's not super squad material.

and while flori is getting really tired about the make-up/break-up ad infinitum vibes between landon and hope, she does promise rafael to look into ways to wake both hope and landon back up again.

(hope isn't in a magical coma because of landon - not really. she's in a magical coma because she's continously been on and on and on and up and up and up, expending energy and magic and time because everyone asked her to and how could she say no? now her body's entered a state of shutdown to finally make her rest up. it just so happened to coincide with landon's coma.)

the next school year begins in we're not worthy and flori is fighting the urge to fall asleep at the assembly. she perks up at the mention of a field trip, however, and participates in the games.

a green knight shows up, effectively ruining the field trip. several students - including jed - try to attack him and much like josie, flori makes a face when alyssa flirts with jed.

flori connects the dots and figures out that this green knight is gawain, who had a wife named florie. once she says his name, his armor falls away - but according to loren, the enchantment sticks because it's been building up for ages - and flori sees a tall boy about her own age with green eyes and dark hair. he collapses and she vamp speeds towards him, catching him and holding him close. he dies, thinking he finally made it back to his wife like he promised he would. flori plays along to give him some comfort in his final moments and sobs as he passes away.

alaric dies in goodbyes sure do suck. bonnie takes over as headmistress until caroline's return. dana and connor have since skipped town. flori is still trying to befriend donovan lockwood.

no one really wants to put on salvatore: the musical, especially when one of their own just died. but it happens anyway.

flori is furious when bonnie doesn't appear to be in the musical at all and lets landon know, in no uncertain terms, that the disrespect disgusts her. she lifts the veil on the fact that bonnie bennett saved the town and it's inhabitants a bunch of times without so much as a thank you. and if he really cared about writing a musical about everything that happened, he ought to include the massacre of the tennesee wolf pack and derek machado's story too.

despite this, she still helps jed run his lines and watches the musical for him and kaleb and the saltzman twins. afterwards, she goes to find loren and mia.

in hold on tight, both hope and landon are awake again which frees up flori's time for her own projects: cataloguing the dark dimension, finding out everything she can about the machado family, taking tentative steps to reach out to the remaining harmans / @soulmateprinciple, researching eastern vampires and hanging out with her best friends as well as jed.

it becomes clear, however, that things have taken a turn because there are more witches in the hallways practicing malevolent magic than before; there are more and more vampires who bite their fellow students - not just behind closed doors but out in the open.

(this continues throughout the rest of the show.)

the therapy box returns in this is what it takes and this time, it's a slasher movie. fortunately, flori has seen every scream movie and three seasons of the tv show. so this time around, she makes it to the end despite making out (and going further) is technically speaking a clear horror movie rule violation. she finds her safe word, becomes self aware, and leaves the simulation.

the next day, flori hears that a lot of families pull their children out of the salvatore school in to whom it may concern which, yeah, fair. she helps out with trying to recruit new students. one of wade's friends, gaby rodriguez, is also one of flori's penpal friends. penelope returns from belgium.

in yup, it's a leprechaun all right, flori helps out with the first ever salvatore fundraiser but ends up leaving early.

long time, no see is all about blind spots; flori's blind spots are her best friend, the man she loves, her other friends and classmates and her estranged family. tensions rise between hope and lizzie.

do all malivore monsters provide this level of emotional insight? the answer might be surprising. landon returns, cleo gets voted into the super squad and flori sighs in relief because this is what cleo deserves.

during all's well that ends well, mg tells ethan that he's a vampire. flori tells ethan that he's related to her sire as well, finally coming clean about everything.

hope recruits flori for the research part about the banshee's words, citing that there is always a loophole.

you can't run from who you are, right? finch is revealed to be a werewolf. lizzie comes to flori for help first but she refuses to do a headdive, causing her to go to mg, who does it instead.

flori joins up with kaleb and cleo to go back to triad industries. flori smiles to herself when kaleb flirts with cleo while they all look through the files. kaleb catches her smile and shoots back that he had to listen to jed getting bitten amorously and see the bites, which causes flori to blush something fierce.

it is only when they get back that mia and loren tell flori about how hope turned into some kind of creature before landon and josie helped her.

jed and landon apparently hang out now. who knew? in i was made to love you, flori teams up with mg who tries to keep ethan from turning into a vampire. flori tries to impress upon him that it's not all fun and games and superheroics. she even goes as far as detailing her own harrowing transformation into a vampire.

flori is glad that finch has transferred to the salvatore school in one day you will understand because it feels good to have someone to share her culture with. to share food and idioms and proverbs and just know.

despite the fact that finch and josie are together, flori does clock the fact that josie is still drawn to hope and vice versa. flori is surprised to hear that cleo left but not as surprised to find out landon's left as well.

in this feels a little cult-y, flori is close to putting all the pieces together when she finds more on the triad industries detention facility, the very place veronica greasley wanted to send her to. it has ties to the zetes institute.

flori is absent in a new hope but is mentioned when kaleb, mg and jed talk amongst each other while burying the newest malivore monster.

she appears in fate's a bitch, isn't it? together with other members of the super squad and the anti squad to confront malivore for once and for all.

S4 AND POST CANON

in season four hope turns into the tribrid and flips her humanity switch. but this season is divergent because both saltzman twins become heretics, thereby solving the merge. also, i don't vibe with the gods plotline.

so instead, season four centers around graduation and passing the torch. caroline returns and becomes the headmistress with bonnie as her right hand woman.

for flori, this season is about growing up and growing into yourself. she's in touch with her family members, she's taking steps to fully immerse herself in the night world, and after graduation, she helps jed find his sisters.

flori's ex boyfriend doug, his ex boyfriend joe and doug's current girlfriend tami have all decided to become hunters. their first target? flori. doug wants revenge for sue and flori gets lured back to maple hollows. jed joins her, given she helped him with finding his sisters.

once there, tami wants to pour liquid sunlight down flori's throat but doug stops her. if only so joe can perform the magical variant of a headdive and pulls everyone into flori's head and memories until she - with help from jed - evicts them from her mind.

derek machado returns, however, in a desperate attempt to slay flori, hoping that her death will pave the way to hope mikaelson's eventual demise too.

the super squad and the anti squad come together once more.

afterwards, flori busies herself with night people business and ends up working for the salvatore school, making sure that no footage of supernaturals exposes them to the outside world.
