Flowery - CHAPTER 5

Asgore is a large, white-furred monster with a goat-like appearance with an intimidating stature. He has broad shoulders, a golden-blond mane, two large curved horns, and a beard. He has patches of gold fur that resemble hair on his head and arms. Asgore appears to be more fat with a large gut rather than the broad-chested Herculean build he is portrayed with in Undertale: although he keeps his wide, bulky appearance, his tall stature and especially his overall muscular limbs. He dresses in a Hawaiian T-shirt which is pink in color and has white flowers alongside a simple pair of blue jeans.

Personality:
Asgore is affectionate and eager to please, but acts somewhat thoughtlessly and oversteps boundaries. He dwells on his past relationship with Toriel, and tries to reconnect with her and his children whenever he has the chance. However, Asgore's attempts to spark conversation with Toriel come off as akin to a stalker as he seemingly followed her to Sans and shop and from Church before waiting to hand her a bouquet and make small talk.

He apparently lives irresponsibly and does not take very good care of himself; he lives in squalor, his car is filthy, and he owes rent to the mayor (albeit with heavy leniency) who he is unable to pay due to his generosity with his flowers. Regardless, he is on good terms with his neighbors, the Holiday family (Noelle, Rudy, and his wife, who employs him as a gardener and oversees his business). Asgore continues to visit Rudy at the hospital and continues to leave him roses and bouquets.

Pronouns:
He/him

Orange is a small mouse-like plant with an orange fur coat, bandanna, and pair of boxing gloves, and also appears not to have arms. She initially refrains from revealing her appearance by making a large, simplistic one-eyed shadow puppet from behind the paper walls in Flower Castle. Orange is also the creator of the item OrangeJuice.

Personality:
Despite being weak, Orange tries her best to fight back and stop the party from sealing the Dark Fountain. When the party makes their final goodbyes to the flower, she mentions her dream to have courage and be brave

Yellow is a yellow humanoid plant with a short yellow mullet, dark yellow cowboy hat, a dark yellow cowboy suit, and gold spurs attached to his dark yellow boots. He has a simplistic face with beady eyes, a wide grin and a square-shaped jaw, while the rest of his body is thin and gangly.

In the Light World, Yellow is a yellow flower, identical to the other 6 flowers apart from color. As all the flowers do, it shares the same 6-petaled shape as Flowey. Although both Flowey and the yellow flower appear to have yellow petals, the golden yellow used by Flowey is much more closely matched by Flowery's Light World form.

Relationships:
Blue (romantic partner)
Flowery (sparring partner, friend)
4 other colored flowers (friends)
Asgore (caretaker)

Pronouns:
He/him

Blue is a humanoid plant with dark blue skin and light blue hair, making him the only one of the flowers with hair lighter than his skin. He has textured hair worn in a ponytail, as well as prominent eyebrows. He almost always has his eyes closed, only opening them for certain rare expressions. Her outfit consists of a light blue bodystocking, a tutu skirt that resembles flower petals, and a pair of pointe shoes. He sometimes appears with blue, simplistic butterfly wings coming from his back, able to fly through the air.

Blue and Flowery are the only members of the seven flowers with talking sprites. Unlike Flowery's face sprite, which shows him with colored eyes on the rare occasions he opens them, Blue's face sprite is entirely monochromatic like those belonging to Lightners.

"Mr. Butterfly" appears in dialogue as an extremely realistic, animated butterfly, with simple faces appearing on its wings to express emotions.

Personality
Blue presents himself in a feminine manner, as he is dressed in traditional female ballerina attire and refers to other people, especially Yellow, as "dear." He generally behaves elegantly, speaking in poetic ways and restraining his emotions. Blue's main passion is love in all forms, although he also expresses himself through dancing on stage to various forms of music, and, after a Rocky start due to the party's issues with Yellow, he strikes a cordial relationship with them, not truly wanting to be opposed to party due to both sides of the conflict being driven by love in one form or another. He does not hold a grudge against the party when he finds out about their interactions with Yellow, caring more about their honesty.

Pronouns:

Green is a green humanoid plant with a pair of green-colored shoes, a lime suit with a green apron over it and a lime chef hat on their head. They are often seen holding a frying pan. They have two very close eyes with green pupils, each eye having two accompanying eyelashes. They are seen running most of the shops around the entire Dark World. They have a small smile in the fight against Orange and them. Their green color and attack is likely a reference to the green SOUL that represents kindness in Undertale.

Personality:
Green is depicted as shy, unconditionally kind, and caring, if occasionally irritable. Their kindness is such that they go out of their way to assist the heroes; For instance, should they lose the fight against Flowery, Green will give back the healing items they have consumed during the attempt. Another instance of this is when they are fought alongside Orange — some of their attacks heal the party (by 1 HP) instead of dealing damage.

They, however, show a pettier side sometimes, such as when asking Seth and Blue for the $5 and $2 the two owe Green, respectively. This act of lending out money to the other flowers seems to be one of their tendencies.

Green appears to be capable of talking, but chooses not to,[3] instead favoring body language and hand signals to communicate. On occasion, they use signs with writing on them, such as when they reveal their name to the party.

Pink (friend, optional)

Personality:
Aqua is playful, childish, and naive. She doesn't seem to understand what is going on most of the time but is very violent, consistently attacking the party and other characters. Aqua is frequently seen intervening into others' battles, typically to instill chaos or aid the other flowers. She gets bored if doing the same thing over and over again, and usually decides to do something else afterwards. She is oblivious to her own mortality, and does not know that fighting can lead to someone's death.[5] Aqua's overall personality calls back to Jevil, with references to a love for chaos, his signature laughter, and the name of his battle theme, THE WORLD REVOLVING.

Aqua is often seen accompanying Seth as they attempt to rein in her unpredictable actions. In return, she is also seen encouraging Seth to play and seek enjoyment outside of Flowery's instructions. Seth implies some part of Aqua's behavior is due to her neglecting to listen to the bedtime stories that Asgore would read to the 7 Colored Flowers.

Should the party decide to use violence against the other flowers, Aqua still hangs out with the party in the cafe. This is because Aqua cannot discern violence from friendliness.

Relationships
Seth (best friend)
5 other colored flowers (friends)
Asgore (caretaker)

Pronouns:
She/her

Seth is a purple-colored humanoid plant with glasses, deep magenta hair, and a lavender tie. While at times their glasses appear completely opaque, when they are translucent their eyes are typically drawn as long horizontal or vertical black stripes. Their hair tufts up into three predominant shapes, with two additional bangs coming across above their glasses. The lower part of their hair is shaded black. Their dress tapers off into even partings around the waist, partial to the left, with lavender pants underneath, and white shoes.

Personality:
Seth is a bookish, aspiring intellectual and tactician. In comparison to other characters, Seth is seen to generally employ more strategy into their plans, such as when they instruct Aqua to use bullet patterns that the SOUL was most damaged on. While trying to seem tough and calculated, Seth cares deeply for their attachments, primarily with Aqua and Asgore, the latter they are seen continuously trying to connect to several times throughout the Chapter. Seth also has an admiration for Berdly, who has a similar affinity for 'smarts'.

When Kris goes to point out the Fountain, they still remain in the Dark World, as someone has just made a second fountain. Suddenly, the Roaring Knight appears and captures Asgore. Flowery gives chase and attempts to engage in combat with them, but his efforts prove futile, and the Knight ultimately overpowers him and delivers a near lethal blow, causing him to bleed flowers. Ralsei attempts to heal him, and although his magic can't heal his wound, he continues trying. When Kris and Susie arrive, Flowery explains that as plants, they are neither Darkner nor Lightners; they are living beings that gain consciousness in the Dark World, able to feel things others can't. He warns the heroes about a greater darkness beneath their town but assures them that no matter the dark path ahead, there's still a glimmer of light inside them all, hoping that they will succeed in the end. Despite his regrets over being seemingly useless, Ralsei assures him that he still gave Asgore something cares for, giving him a purpose. And so, Flowery gets to die happy, becoming a flower with a broken stem. In the Light World, Flowery's case is broken, with him spilling on the floor, so Susie looks for something to help. Examining Flowery, Kris notices a pack of Golden Flower seeds, as well as a piece of paper in the soil, the latter of which contains a code for the Shelter, "0915199X." Susie returns with tape, and patches Flowery up (with the cost of Yellow and Blue being in the same case), leaving Flowery's fate unknown.

At the very end of the castle rooftops, Flowery affirms that they want to fight, but that he and the others will be the true heroes, using the power of all the Darkners that they recruited, as well as the other Flowers. Thus begins the final battle. When Ralsei takes the fall in near the end of the battle, Susie gets the idea to throw Kris up the vines to the top, where the Fountain is. Flowery tries to stop them, combining with the other flowers to become Omega Flowery, but is ultimately defeated. Despite this, Flowery won't give up, and demands Kris get up, only for Asgore to interrupt, having changed his mind about the Dark World. However, Flowery objects, reminding about the everything they were planning, before Asgore reveals that he was just playing along, although he admits to enjoying it. In fact, Flowery's efforts only made him realize how it feels to receive unasked-for attention. Even if he wanted to stay in the Dark World, he couldn't, as his shop still needs to be operated, which Flowery understands.

Later, Asgore explains to Flowery that he wants to find the one responsible for creating the Dark Fountain and make them pay for everything they've done. However, right after, Flowery decides to take him to the diner. Kris and Ralsei encounter Flowery again, who makes it clear that they will be sealing the Dark Fountain regardless, though he asks if whoever made their Dark Fountain is really bad, which shocks Ralsei. Having nothing to say, or with Ralsei not wanting to say anything, Flowery leaves. At the top of the castle, the Flowers are together, wanting to make Asgore happy, having been trying so hard to do so. Flowery goes to meet Asgore, who is looking disgraceful, but announces that he will go to the Dark Fountain, and find the one who made it, with a grim path planned for them. Flowery decided to finally send him there, while he makes amends with the Flowers. However, Flowery reminds them that the three plan to seal the Fountain, ending Asgore's perfect world. Despite all their efforts to be friends, the Seven Flowers decide to fight the Fun Gang anyways, leaving one by one. Flowery leaves last, pointing out that his friendship with the Flowers is much stronger than what Kris has, expecting to see them at the Top of Castle. With no other option, Susie decides to follow Kris to the end, and go on out to the Top of Castle.

Down below, Susie gets angry with Flowery doing such a thing, so they follow him up to the Cliffs. Upon reaching said location, they see the Dark Fountain in the distance, but also encounter Flowery and Asgore, the former of whom is shocked to see them there, and Flowery immediately sends him a castle in the distance. When he suggests the heroes "leave it all to them," saying it's best that Asgore doesn't see them anymore, Susie angrily tells Flowery off for his actions, warning him that Asgore is in danger of being taken by the Knight. Flowery claim it's "nothing [they] can't handle on [their] own," but Ralsei warns him that the Knight will kill him. The heroes stay firm on their word, and so does Flowery, deciding that they'll settle this at Flower Castle, and leaves.

At the entrance to Flower Castle, Flowery appears once again, saying that it's better for them to leave Asgore alone, so that he can have the perfect home and family he has always wanted. Despite this, Susie tells him that they have to get Asgore out regardless, arguing that it's not what he wants. To this, Flowery calls Asgore to come out, who is wearing a golden suit of armor and purple cape (resembling his appearance in Undertale). He is again shocked to see Kris and Susie, and throws them out of the Dark World and out of Flower King, warning them not to come back. Susie tries to break and enter, but realizes that if they did, darkness would likely spill out, alerting more people, putting them in danger as well. Fortunately, they remember the back door, which they go back into the Dark World through. They land back inside Flower Castle, although unfortunately in a jail cell, as Flowery had anticipated their arrival.

When they escape the Jail, they see Asgore looking at notes about the Dark World, although Flowery blows them away so they can hang out, along with the other flowers.

Of course, they refuse to go until they have sealed the Dark Fountain, but Flowery assures that Asgore will be fine, although the party believes otherwise. After obtaining the Petal Feather, the three make it back to where Asgore and Flowery were, who are discussing images of flowers they have. While talking, Asgore shocks the heroes by asking Flowery asking about the Dark Fountain. Flowery, confused, agrees to show it to him later.

Upon Flower Kingdom's creation Flowery is given a human form and apparently has Ralsei placed in a wardrobe to avoid Asgore seeing him. Flowery is first met by Susie and Kris in the beginning of the Dark World, after being seen talking to Asgore. He greets the heroes, introducing himself and explaining who he is. His flamboyant behavior annoys Ralsei, who claims that he shoved him in a wardrobe earlier. When Asgore arrives, Flowery quickly covers them in grass before taking Asgore somewhere else to take in pleasantries. The heroes spot Asgore and Flowery on various locations doing various things together, such as fishing, watching a cowboy show, and discussing Kris's old hobbies. Eventually, after another encounter, Flowery briefly replaces Ralsei in the party, and later assists them with a few puzzles. At a restaurant known as the Ideal Diner, Flowery and Asgore are seen again, where they talk about a similar interaction Asgore once had, before Flowery gives him orange juice and a mixtape to listen to, while Susie gets some root beer (made from actual roots).

Upon leaving the diner, Ralsei still expresses disdain towards Flowery. Susie, however, thinks he could actually be helpful to them, as he's keeping Asgore distracted while they look for the Fountain. When she asks him to help with a switch puzzle to open a door, he agrees, much to Ralsei's annoyance. However, Flowery solves the puzzles himself by skateboarding across the buttons, more to Susie's appreciation and Ralsei's frustration. When Asgore shows up nearby, Flowery hides the three again. Asgore is impressed with Flowery's skills, but he says that he would be happier with his son Asriel. Flowery agrees but takes Asgore away. In the marshy area of ​​the Garden, they meet Flowery again, who advises them to leave, guiding them to a bright open light leading back to the Light World.

Flowery's "pose" sprite is a reference to one of Jotaro Kujo's JoJo Poses from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future arcade fighting game, which a variant of one of Jotaro's iconic poses in the series.
Flowery's line to Aqua, "Let's play knife cutting game", may be a reference to a similar line of dialogue in The Legend of Zelda, where an old man would say "Let's play money making game." This line is also referenced directly by a Pippins in Chapter 3.
Several of Flowery's spells may be references to the shojo media franchise Pretty Rhythm and its spin-off King of Prism.
The "Ez2Dance" spell may be a reference to EZ Do Dance, a 1993 single by the Japanese band TRF, frequently featured in the Pretty Rhythm franchise as an opening theme and insert song.
The "PrismRush" spell may be a reference to the mobile game King of Prism: Prism Rush! Live and the "Prism Rush", a type of performance featured in the franchise.
The "AfiniHug" and "HoneyKiss" spells may be references to the "Infinite Hug" and "Honey Kiss", two moves performed throughout the franchise.
During Flowery's counter to the party's "Justice" ACT in his battle, he yells "Take that!", a reference to voice clips for similar situations occurring in the Ace Attorney series.
In all "Justice" ACTs of Chapter 5, Kris, Susie, and Ralsei dress and pose like characters from the same series of games. The evidence is also laid out similarly to the Court Record commonly used.
When rushing towards the Knight, Flowery's pose is similar to the Naruto Run

Flowery heavily alludes to Flowey from Undertale. Both are golden flowers with high sapience, are aware of gameplay mechanics such as SAVE, can have apparently high stats, have an "Omega" form that uses the combined power of six other beings, and are important to their respective Toriel and Asgore in the game. However, they have contrasting personalities.
Flowery's main theme, Your Dad's Best Friend, and frequent claims to being Asgore's best friend also parallels Flowey's claim and his battle theme, Your Best Friend. Flower Man also features the Your Best Friend motif, which is associated with Flowey in Undertale.
Flowery's typically closed eyes resemble Frisk, the human protagonist of Undertale. When his eyes are open, they are the only colored part of his sprite, which is similar to how Toriel's eyes in Undertale were accidentally colored in her battle sprite.
Unlike the other six flowers, Flowery does not directly correlate to one of the Undertale human souls' colors or traits; However, Flowery's Check description implies that this trait may be "hope".[57]
Two lines of flavor text during Flowery's battle reference Hopes and Dreams.[58][59]
Flowery references the True Pacifist Route, calling "a branch where we didn't have to fight" a "pacifist root".

The animation for Flowery's intro is animated by Studio Khara, the same studio that animated Rebuild of Evangelion. The "SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING!" text that appears at the end of the animation uses the same font used in the series' title cards, Matisse EB. Toko Yatabe serves as the director, storyboard artist, animation character designer, and key animator for the intro.[45] Yatabe's early concept art for the animation determined Flowery's final outfit design in the game.[46]

Flowery's battle and the attack order was assembled by Jean Canellas, although the bullet patterns were created by someone else.[47]

Andy Brophy helped with the early prototype of Flowery's battle mechanic.[48]

Fred Wood directed the moments where Flowery joins the party and of him making orange juice in the Diner.[49][50]

Leftover in the code is an early gimmick for Flowery's fight, where the player is given five ACTs and has to choose the correct one. These are for phases 2, 3, and 4, with the correct ACT matching the final game's group ACT, and the incorrect ones having an F on the end instead of a Z.[51] A leftover variable, failedpreviousact,[52][53] increases the mercy provided by SpinZ and PraiseZ to 10% for Flowery and 100% for Seth/Aqua and Orange/Green, respectively, and would likely be set by SpinF and PraiseF. This leftover code also reveals the Orange SOUL mode would have applied in the menu, and the player would have to hit the ACT they wish to select using it.

Additionally, there are unused conditions to increase the strength of the Spin/SpinZ and Praise/PraiseZ ACTs to 80%. Based on the variable names, Seth and Aqua would have received 80% if they were defeated with violence in their duo battle,[54] while Orange and Green would have received 80% if Pink had previously been defeated.[55] Pink would have additionally appeared during the latter ACTs, holding up a peace sign as her laugh sound plays

Flowery's "Jarona" line originates from something Toby Fox heard from his older sibling during his childhood, where his older sibling would make up anime move names and then pretend to attack him. One of them was "It's My Jarona!" [43] This also applies to the cut line "Blingo Blizzard!"

In 2025, one of Toby Fox's friends said "What's the opposite of 'I miss Tenna?'" when playing the incomplete version of Chapter 5. This was likely directed towards Flowery

Flowery can only be defeated nonviolently; the first time Flowery is damaged, Susie and Ralsei heal him to his max HP using BetterHeal and Heal Prayer respectively, on their own accord, tell him they are going to defeat him their way, and will no longer FIGHT when commanded. Afterwards, Kris can still attack Flowery, but Ralsei and Susie will heal him immediately. These healing spells take away TP as if they were cast manually, resulting in a total of 107% TP being lost, essentially setting the party's TP to 0 every time Flowery is attacked. Even if both Susie and Ralsei are DOWNed, they will still heal Flowery.

While a charge dash persists longer and provides more leeway for timing, a tap dash is almost always more beneficial once it can be timed correctly. Some attack patterns require tap dashes in quick succession.

The dark gray bars serve as timing indicators: If [(CONFIRM)] is tapped at one gray bar distance from an attack, then it can be consistently hit. For Flowery's attacks, pressing [(CONFIRM)] right at or slightly before his う! VoiceClip.

If possible, always use the Kris-only version of the MERCY ACTs. The extra TP cost can be compensated by using Defend or S/R-Action to gain it back.

For the parrying attacks, mashing Z while using the up and down keys to dodge bullets works as a viable no-hit strategy. Another method is to charge a dash, then letting go when Flowery flashes white.

With Seth's attack, patience is key; try to stay in the middle and instead wait for the words to pass and create an opening - do not value the healing words, as they only give a very slight amount of TP on touch.

The fight will end when Flowery reaches 50% MERCY.

Combat ends and seamlessly transitions into a climbing minigame. Kris must navigate 4 short climbing sections back-to-back, outpacing a thicket of thorns advancing from below. At the end of each section, Kris must charge-jump upwards to break through a blue bamboo stalk, causing them to speedily ascend and put distance between themselves and the advancing thicket of thorns.

Once Kris clears the Ascension, the battle is effectively won and the story will proceed regardless of the player's performance in the following phase.

Last Jarona: Kris's health is fully restored. Gameplay switches to Petal Feather mode. Flowery repeatedly charges in a horizontal line from right to left, varying its height each time. Each time Flowery approaches, Kris can attack to knock him back. When Flowery is attacked, the background and foreground changes color to one of the colors of the seven flowers. Once each of the flowers' colors have been displayed, or after Kris is damaged with 1 HP remaining, the battle concludes with a quick-time event, where Kris must time their attack to deal the finishing blow. The post-battle dialogue changes depending on whether Kris passed or failed the quick-time event, but otherwise has no effect on gameplay.

Phase 5: Ralsei is removed from battle. Flowery is alone. The phase lasts until the player ACTs using Susie's Idea; both Kris and Susie must be up to use this ACT.

Turn 1 - Stalks + Jarona - 9 bamboo stalks scroll from the right, spanning the height of the bullet board with blue sections that get progressively smaller. After this, Flowery splits into four copies of himself, and each copy attacks once with a Jarona. Parrying the fourth Jarona spawns a barrage of fan projectiles.
Each turn afterward - Jarona 5: As Jarona 2, but each successful parry spawns 2 fan projectiles.

Phase 4: Blue and Yellow aid Flowery. The phase lasts until Blue and Yellow reach 100% Mercy.

Each turn - Thicket of Thorns 3: As Thicket of Thorns 1, but all bamboo stalks are blue and longer. Additionally, Blue will throw flowers on the right side of the screen for Yellow to shoot, causing them to explode into butterfly projectiles that move disjointly to the bamboo stalk

Phase 3: Orange and Green aid Flowery. The phase lasts until Orange and Green reach 100% Mercy.

Turn 1 - Jarona 3: As Jarona 1, but some attacks are made by Orange instead of Flowery. Each time, the attacker briefly winds up and flashes white, then turns blue and dashes toward the SOUL, while their partner remains idle. If Voice Clips are enabled, Flowery's attacks are accompanied by an audio cue of "JARONA!", while Orange's attacks are accompanied by an audio cue of "JA-ORANGE!" Orange adds a half-second delay after his audio/visual cue before dashing, so the player must account for the change up in timing depending on the attacker. Orange also produces boxing glove projectiles whenever the player successfully parries her attacks.
Turn 2 - Jarona 4: As Jarona 3, but once during the turn, one of the attacks will be a fake-out followed by a projectile attack. For the fake-out attack, either Flowery or Orange will appear to charge up and flash white, then will cancel their attack while Green launches fire projectiles onto the bullet board. If Voice Clips are enabled, the fake-out attack is accompanied by an audio cue of "JA...st kidding!"
Turn 3 - Thicket of Thorns 2 - As Thicket of Thorns 1, but all bamboo stalks are shorter, and the attack concludes with an uninterrupted series of tall mostly white stalks with short blue segments. The SOUL can avoid these tall stalks by remaining at the top of the bullet board, a viable strategy if the SOUL already has a comfortable lead on the thorns.
Turn 4 - Jarona 4: As turn 2.
Each turn afterward: Repeats Thicket of Thorns 2 until the phase ends.

Phase 2: Seth and Aqua aid Flowery. The phase lasts until Seth and Aqua reach 100% Mercy.

Turn 1 - Seth's Books 1: The SOUL passes through a series of blue safe zones which are free of danger but slow the SOUL's forward momentum. White and green words scroll vertically in between blue safe zones. White words deal damage on contact, while green words award TP if touched. The player must dash with proper timing and precision to avoid white words and collect green words, all while intermittently slowing down and speeding up.
Turn 2 - Aqua's Knives: Walls of vertically scrolling knives bar the SOUL's path, accompanied by blue lilypads. Dashing into a lilypad causes the SOUL to jump and remain airborne long enough to pass over one wall of knives. The SOUL can move while airborne, and an orange drop shadow indicates the SOUL's landing position. If the SOUL lands on another lilypad, it will bounce and continue to remain airborne, passing over the next wall of knives. The SOUL's forward momentum will gradually increase with each lilypad bounce, resetting to normal speed if the player misses a lilypad. The player can avoid damage completely from this attack by successfully bouncing on every lilypad. It is also possible (albeit far more difficult) to weave the SOUL through the knives while remaining ground-bound.
Turn 3 - Seth's Books 1 or 2: Seth's Books 2 (as described in turn 5) is used here, unless the player took excessive damage during turn 1, in which case Seth's Books 1 is re-used during this turn to grant the player a mild reprieve.
Turn 4 - Aqua's Knives: Ace turn 2.
Turn 5 - Seth's Books 2: As Seth's Books 1, but with additional scrolling white words to avoid.
Each turn afterward: Cycles between Aqua's Knives and Seth's Books 2 until the phase ends.

Phase 1: Lasts until Flowery reaches 20% Mercy.

Turn 1 - Bamboo Stalks: Stalks scroll from right to left, spanning the height of the bullet board. The blue segments of the stalks become progressively smaller, requiring increasing precision from the player to dash through. Immediately following the second-to-last wave of stalks is a blue lily pad, placed such that the player is likely to dash into it; When the player does so, the SOUL jumps and remains airborne for one screen-length, avoiding all obstacles until it lands. Jumping with the lilypad is the only way to avoid the final set of all-white bamboo stalks.
Turn 2 - Jarona 1: Flowery attacks the SOUL directly seven times. Each attack, he briefly winds up and flashes white, then turns blue and dashes toward the SOUL. If Voice Clips are enabled, an audio cue of "JARONA!" accompanies each attack. If the SOUL is dashing when Flowery's attack connects, the player parries the attack and gains TP; more TP is awarded the more momentum the SOUL has on contact. If the SOUL is not dashing when Flowery's attack connects, the player takes damage and gains no TP.
Turn 3 - Thicket of Thorns 1: A wall of thorns chases the SOUL from the left, while short blue stalks scroll in from the right. Successfully dashing through blue stalks allows the SOUL to outpace the wall of thorns.
Turn 4 - Jarona 2: Ace Jarona 1, but Flowery spawns a fan projectile each time the player parries his attack.
Each turn afterward: Cycles between Thicket of Thorns 1 and Jarona 2 until the phase ends.

Flowery introduces the orange SOUL mode, which allows the SOUL to dash through the blue walls that appear in his bullet patterns. Flowery's attacks are special in that the bounding box is greatly extended and there are white lines on the background of the battle box that flows left, giving the appearance of constant movement/flying, similar to Sans's final attack in Undertale.

Flowery partners with 3 sets of the other 6 flowers after enough ACTs. First with Seth and Aqua, then with Orange and Green and finally with Blue and Yellow.

Just before the battle begins, Flowery summons each enemy from Chapter 5 that is not another one of the 7 flowers, which he refers to as "My RECRUITs!" The enemies fly into Flowery and disappear as he says "Lend me your power!" and a Voice Clip plays with the same words. All enemies appear in this sequence regardless of whether they have been recruited by the player.[35]

Although never mentioned, the TP gain from defending is held to 8%, likely in order to balance the fight (which mostly focuses around TP gain and usage).

If the party is defeated during the fight against Flowery, a Game Over does not occur. Instead, the party is sent back to the place right before this fight and fully healed with their items recovered, as Flowery lambasts the party. Green then arrives and informs the party that they have cooked up all the items used during the battle, essentially resetting the player's inventory. Losing multiple times changes the dialogue between Flowery and the party.

During the brief period while he is in the party and the menu is accessible, Flowery can be given consumables, where he makes one of three comments: "Mmm-mmm-good!" "Petalicious!" or "Floweriffic!" There is a 1/101 (~0.99%) chance that the comment is "Do you love your father, Kris?"[note 1][31] After three items are given, Susie complains about giving Flowery items.[32] Due to sharing an ID with Ralsei,[33] Flowery interacts with consumables the same as him[note 2][34] and the equipment list highlights items that Ralsei can equip. Additionally, if a consumable would trigger dialogue from Susie when given to Ralsei, she will have the same reaction when it is given to Flowery.

Flowery's stats are unreasonably high. He is at LV 99, with 999 HP and 99 Attack, Defense, and Magic. Its cosmetic stats are "Flowers" (at 99), "Floweriness" (at Floweriness icon.png Floweriness icon.png Floweriness icon.png ), and "Guts" (at Floweriness icon.png Floweriness icon.png Floweriness icon.png Floweriness icon.png Floweriness icon.png). After the Floradinn encounter, Flowery claims to have "maximum stats", and Ralsei responds by saying "Y... you can't just give yourself 999 in everything!!", implying Flowery set his own stats.

As a party member
Flowery temporarily becomes a party member once the party reaches the Delta Rune door in Garden. The door's plaque instructs the party to "Defeat the enemies in the manner befitting of a FLOWER." However, after encountering a Floradinn, the party fails to open the door. Flowery suddenly falls onto Ralsei, burying him in the ground, before joining the party. To open the door, he commandeers the nearby encounter with two Floradinns by grabbing them and making them kiss each other.

Flowery has her own unique title ("Roommate"), equipment and spells, which are all cosmetic. Attempting to check his spell list or change his equipment results in him playing the "No, no, no!" Voice Clip as his headshot sprite flashes a smile. As the Floradinn encounter is scripted and does not use the standard battle interface, the effects of Flowery's equipment and spells are unknown. The player also cannot leave the room, as Flowery will say "Wow, that's no way." if they attempt to do so.

Flowery is equipped with the weapon WinningSmile, and the armors PetalMantle and SundayBest. The PetalMantle is likely a reference to the ShadowMantle, and the SundayBest may be a reference to when Papyrus mentions the term in Undertale.[30] He has the spells Sanfrandisco (which costs 0% TP), MyJarona (which costs 99%), Ez2Dance (which costs 22%), Prism Rush (which costs 111%), Afinihug (which costs 222%), and HoneyKiss (which costs 333%). The latter three spells cost more than the highest possible amount of TP in-game (100%).

Flowery engages in battle against the party using the combined powers of his recruits and the other six flowers. Upon his defeat, he admits that he knew from the start his existence would not last long in the Dark World without someone to properly take care of him. Flowery allows the party to signal the Dark Fountain.

After sealing the Fountain, however, the Dark World remains active. Realizing that another Fountain has taken its place, Flowery quickly reacts to the Knight's sudden appearance and gives chase after it captures Asgore. Flowery engages the Knight in battle and appears to severely damage it. However, the Knight bypasses his fabricated statistics and bisects Flowery across his midsection, mortally wounding him. As he dies, he warns the party that darkness grows from beneath Hometown.

Back in the Light World, Kris inspects Flowery's remains and uncovers a packet of Seeds and a code to the shelter from within his soil. Susie explains that Flowery had told her about the code and Asgore's previous occupation as police chief. She and Kris tape up Flowery and leave Flower King.

Near the Dark Fountain, Flowery explains his reason for wanting to keep his Dark World active: since Asgore and Toriel's wedding, Asgore has continued to take care of Flowery and the other six flowers. As normal flowers, they could do nothing to repay him, even as he lost his job and his family fell apart. When the Dark World appeared, they were now able to build an ideal world for Asgore so he could forget his struggles in the Light World.

Upon entering Flower Kingdom, Susie notices Asgore speaking with an unseen person, who is revealed to be Flowery. Flowery appears before her and Kris and introduces himself. He is soon revealed to have stuffed Ralsei in a wardrobe to hide him from Asgore. When Ralsei confronts Flowery regarding this, he forces a hat onto his head to conceal his appearance.

Flowery appears multiple times throughout the party's travels through the Garden. He directly assists the party with various puzzles while at the same time distracting Asgore with a variety of activities. When Ralsei attempts to explain the Dark World user interface to Susie, she explains that Flowery had already told her ahead of time.

At the end of Garden, Flowery bids goodbye to the party and shows them a way back to the Light World, explaining that his Dark World does not need their interference. He then offers to show Asgore the Flower King Fountain and reappears at the entrance to Cliffs. When Flowery notices the party approaching, he transports Asgore directly to Flower Castle. Susie warns Flowery that the Knight will kidnap Asgore if they do not rescue him from the Dark World, but Flowery dismisses her concerns and travels to Flower Castle himself.

At the entrance to Flower Castle, Flowery summons Asgore, who ejects Kris and Susie from the Dark World. Upon re-entry, Flowery traps Kris and Susie behind a jail cell. After the party escapes, he is seen accompanying Asgore as he discusses his Dark World investigation. In two optional scenes, Flowery speaks to Ralsei about his faith and morality

At the entrance to Top of Castle, Flowery confers with the other six flowers and transports Asgore to the Dark Fountain. As the party arrives, he warns the others that they are here to signal their Dark Fountain before leaving. At Top of Castle proper, Flowery repeatedly confronts the party and proposes they seal Castle Town's Dark Fountain in place of his to prolong the flowers' existence in the Dark World.

Flowery's Light World form is a golden flower, planted by Asgore. He was among the seven colored flowers that comprised Asgore's wedding bouquet. Since then, he has been taken care of by Asgore beyond his natural lifespan and remains rooted to a table in Flower King.

Chapter 3's Island Board contains a golden flower cut in half, which likely foreshadows Flowery being cut in half by the Knight at the end of Chapter 5. When inspected, the flower is described as continuing to "stand", similar language to the chorus of Flower Man.

In Chapter 4, Flowery is foreshadowed in one of the prophecy tapestries found in the 3rd Sanctuary, which showcases Asgore holding his Light World form. The text reads "THE FLOWER MAN, TRAPPED IN ASYLUM", possibly referencing Flower Man and Flowery's state in the Light World. While Asgore visually is the focus of the prophecy tapestry, it is internally labeled boss3, with the prior two being for Queen and Tenna, making it intentionally ambiguous as to whom the prophecy is referring to.

Flowery is additionally alluded to if Your Dad's Best Friend is played on the organ found in the Dark Sanctuary. If it is played, Susie describes it as "annoying", shadowing Flowery's personality and Susie's opinion of him

Flowery speaks with occasional grammatical mistakes, likely in a nod to mistranslated dating simulation games.[12] Additionally, he sometimes compounds words without a grammatical reason, and especially does so with words used to refer to a friend, often calling Asgore "oldbuddy" and at one point asking him "What's wrongpal?"[13] He also tends to "pepper" his speech with plant-related puns. His dialogue is often accompanied by Voice Clips, usually in less serious moments, and he has a unique sound bite that can be heard when no Voice Clip is played or Voice Clips are turned off.

He starkly opposes Ralsei's fatalistic view of a determined journey guided by the prophecy, fully believing that residents of the dark are able to master their own fates and choose freedom over the shackles of fate.

Additionally, Flowery is shown to be reckless; as Ralsei points out, Flowery does not plan ahead before acting. His recklessness is ultimately his downfall, when he recklessly engages the Knight in combat and is fatally wounded in the encounter.

Flowery can also be considered a walking parody of overpowered self-insert characters, as he has the ability to fake his stats, which gives him unbelievable amounts of power. However, certain foes, such as the Knight, can seemingly ignore said fake stats, rendering them useless. However, he was at least able to keep up with it in a chase, and briefly held back his sword with his bare hands. In battle against the party, his attack damage seems relatively strong, but far below his fake stats; it is unclear whether this represents his genuine capabilities.

Flowery presents himself as Asgore's college roommate and calls him "Gorey", giving his personality a superficial resemblance to Rudy.

Flowery is a pastiche of the type of ikemen and bishōnen character archetypes who form the love interests of classic shōjo anime, and is presented as such in its introductory cutscene. Flowery boasts a personality befitting the stereotype of a preppy college student: high-class, sociable, appearance-conscious and somewhat bossy. He acts extremely protective and friendly towards Asgore due to the circumstances leading to his life being extended beyond expectations thanks to the florist's extensive care. When entering the final fight with him, he reveals more shōnen archetypes in his personality in contrast to his shōjo traits, where he makes it clear that he deeply values ​​and trusts his friends, as well as how hard he is willing to fight for them, which seems to enhance his fighting capabilities to some degree.

Towards others, he has an overbearing and a confident personality. He projects a glamorous attitude prone to dramatic intonation, and calls the members of the party "princesses".[10] He in particular has a strong habit of belittling Ralsei, which forms the crux of a rivalry between them. At various points, he forces Ralsei out of the party,[11] and forces Ralsei to dress in his Chapter 1 attire and hide his face. In spite of this, he has also shown to care about Ralsei's identity anxieties, a fact which his demeaning approach often gets in the way of. After failing to stop the Knight, he is touched by Ralsei reassuring him he isn't useless, and regrets they could've been friends in another life.

Flowery strongly values ​​the power of friendship and deeply cares for the other flowers, and, in turn, they look up to him as a dependable and virtuous authority figure. He has heightened awareness of the Dark World and its functioning, but on the other hand, values ​​little the world's ultimate fate, believing that nurturing Asgore's happiness as he nurtured theirs takes priority.

Flowery is friends with all six of the other colored flowers, referring to them as "the boys", (despite the fact that, as he would put it, "some of them's girls"[sic]). He appears to take an informal leadership role in the group, being responsible for their orders to oppose the party. Unlike the Darkners working under previous antagonists—specifically, King, Queen, and Tenna—the flowers all seem to work with Flowery completely of their own will. All of the flowers ultimately choose to fight alongside Flowery, despite holding no ill will towards the party. Even when the party escapes jail and begins to approach Flowery's Dark Fountain, Flowery is happy that they have grown closer to the flowers in doing so.

Orange is Flowery's little sister. As with Pink, it is likely that this siblinghood is assumed/adoptive rather than hereditary.

At first, Flowery seems to be friendly toward Kris, noting that they have grown a lot and that Asgore must be proud of them.[25] He says they "were a good kid," showing that he had a fondness for them as a child, but implying that it has faded since then. With time, it is made clear that Flowery is now spiteful toward Kris, and does not believe that they truly care for Asgore.

Importantly, if given items, there is a chance he will ask Kris if they truly love their father,[26] and later in the chapter he states that he doesn't believe Kris wants to save Asgore.[27] During his boss fight, he also mentions that he is suspicious about Kris's plans, noting that they have "changed" since childhood.[28] While Kris is not present, Flowery tells Susie about the shelter code hidden in his soil, instructing her not to tell anyone about it, which may mean he is aware that Kris would attempt to destroy the code.[29] However, Flowery does note that he does not know precisely what Kris's plans are, meaning he might not be aware of the full extent of their connections to the SOUL and the Knight.

Flowery feels strong gratitude for Asgore due to being grown and cared for by Asgore in the Light World, despite being part of a mere wedding bouquet that is normally thrown away. Therefore, his greatest desire is to repay Asgore by giving him a glimpse of a perfect world.[20] However, Asgore does not reciprocate these feelings and regards Flowery's actions as "unasked-for affection."[21] Asgore regards the flowers as "little ones",[22] implying Asgore could see them as his children due to growing them prior. In this case, Flowery could stand in as an eldest brother figure for the other flowers similar to Asriel's relationship with Kris. The Diner Song of Best Friends, which plays when two of them are at the diner together, is referred to internally as flowery_diner_romantic, suggesting he may also be romantically interested in Asgore.

Susie and Flowery's relationship is rocky at first, somewhat by Flowery's own design. He acts condescending, calling Susie a "princess" and later "Sussie". However, in the next scene, he puts on an impressive show by showing off his fake stats and instantly sparing the Floradinn pair. With how he reacts when he learns that the party, and specifically Susie, are bonding with the flowers, he is happy for them—proving no ill will between them.

He is also genuinely thoughtful, as he suggests inside the subarea near the Sheary topiaries room that Susie give some of the flowers she is eyeing to Noelle.

All in all, it seems like Flowery is often trying to annoy Ralsei through Susie, either by annoying Susie or by winning her over, but also has admiration and respect for her character.

Flowery is condescending towards Ralsei right off the bat, calling him "Raly" and "little guy", forcing him to wear his hatted Chapter 1 design, and being generally antagonistic towards him. This is, more than anything, what Susie turns against him in the early parts of the Chapter, before she starts to warm up to him. Flowery makes efforts to upshow both Ralsei and the entire party, much to Ralsei's chagrin.

It is around the midpoint of the Chapter that the party and the player get to see a more sincere side of Flowery, or something close. First, he tells Ralsei a somewhat sincere-sounding goodbye when he thinks they will leave through the first Light World beacon in the dark Garden.[23] Even if it is all facetious, it mirrors what he says to Ralsei later when he finds him praying in Flower Castle. In that moment, he once again compliments Ralsei on his kindness,[24] and even gives Ralsei a drink voucher, encouraging him to take his favorite drink instead of what Kris wants. Though the thoughtfulness of this moment is tempered slightly when he says, "Hey, smile again", calling back to Ralsei's poignant moment of forced optimism at the end of Chapter 4.

Ralsei and Flowery's relationship is built on a fundamental difference: Ralsei only wants to hope, but Flowery truly does, with all his heart—even to the point of arrogance, or, as Ralsei puts it, delusion. He truly believes that he and the other six flowers have the power to build Asgore's perfect world, with his battle theme's lyrics reflecting this, and Ralsei both detests and envies his ability to hold on to his hope.

Several objects throughout Chapter 5 spoof Flowery's likeness, and vary in how they share their color, face, and body. The spoof objects include Spikery, Signery, Chairery, Laddery, and Shrubbery. Some of these objects may be taken as furniture upon interaction.

Despite taking the appearance of a human, Flowery's features also bear a resemblance to Rudy. Both share a slender face with eyes that are usually shut in a joyous expression, are usually smiling, and have a similar hairstyle. They also both wear red and green clothes. This is in concert with Flowery also acting as the "college roommate" of Asgore.

In the Dark World, Flowery bears striking similarities to a human, with the most obvious difference being that his skin, as well as his hair, are bright yellow. His hair is short, with the top and bangs being swayed to the right and slightly upwards (shown with an undercut in his introductory cutscene). Unlike most beings in Dark Worlds, Flowery, as well as the rest of the flowers, are neither Lightners nor Darkners, as they are living beings in the Light World like Lightners but gain a radically different form in the Dark World like Darkners.

Flowery's eyes are colored in his talking sprite, having a dark gold color with normal, white sclera, which can only be seen after the fight with him, as his eyes are typically always closed, no matter his emotion. This small amount of color with an otherwise monochrome talk sprite differentiates him both from Lightners, who use colorless talk sprites, and Darkners, who use colored ones.

Flowery's outfit consists of a white collared shirt overlaid with an orange and green vest, with the right side being green, and the left side being orange, and a black mantle—interpreted as a jacket in his animated intro—which he carries over his shoulder. Brown pants and black shoes complete your outfit.

When Flowery receives the power of all the other flowers, he transforms into a pastel rainbow silhouette, bordered by an outline with a darker tone of the same colors. In this state, he calls himself "Omega Flowery", in reference to the seven flowers' most powerful attacks being called "Omega Attacks".

In his intro cutscene, he is depicted in an anime style, allowing more detail to be seen in his clothing than normal. His vest is shown to have two pockets on the lower front of it, and the small yellow emblem on it is shown to be in the shape of a four-petaled flower. His mantle is shown to have sleeves with buttons, like a suit coat. He is not shown in such a detailed artstyle again outside of the Bromides.
