The Flower is a mysterious being that owns the Memory World. The center of every visualization in Undying Flower. She has the ability to travel between memories of people.
Visual Concept
We wanted her character to be mysterious, haunting yet beautiful, intensely emotional at times yet stoic at others. Every bit of her visualization showed that she is bound by something, but also symbolizes a ruler of a lonely world.
As The Flower moves around in Memory World, players might notice a red, orb-like light glowing from within her heart. It highlights the human side of The Flower, suggesting that her emotions are still there, a different perspective where her soul looks detached previously in real world.
Her white transparent robe represents her innocent side as a little girl, covering her black body due to her being part of an abstraction of memory.
She wears a mask to cover her real face, yet she can express emotions through it. Her crown represents her rule over her own world, and yet, her neck and feet are bound by black thorny vines. The Flower appears all-powerful in her world, but desperate to be free. This visualization is inspired by Christ's crown of thorns.

More Than a Subject
The Flower represents the deepest, most suppressed part of the experimental subject as a young little girl. It is why she has no voice, but she uses something similar to a sign language to express words that only the people that she "invited" to her world can understand.
She has traveled through the memories of many people, and is now trapped in Nala's darkest memory. Her purpose remains a mystery, but her current mission is to change the outcome of Nala's regret to free her own soul and continue her journey.
She has tried to get out, desperately tried to change the outcome several times on her own, but turns out she couldn't do it on her own. So she "brought" Nala's soul with her to help.
