Flora

Japanese name:	風斬りのフローラ
Nickname:	Windcutter Flora

was a Claymore ranked #8 in Clare's generation. She was known for her sword drawing technique, which was considered to be the fastest draw of any Claymore. She is a division captain during the Northern Campaign, overseeing Clare and several other Claymores. She is soft-spoken and polite, even when trying to impose strict discipline.

As a division captain during the Northern Campaign, Flora led the following Claymores: Lily (#18), Wendy (#30), Karla (#39), and Clare (#47). During the first battle, Flora was unwilling to rely on Clare and Karla due to their low rank and lack of power. She tried to finish the battle as quickly as possible, but the awakened being her team was against evaded her attacks. Flora kept attacking, but was almost killed by strike from behind by Karla, whose limbs were being manipulated by the awakened being. It used its yoki-controlling abilities to pin Flora and the rest of the team down, putting them at Karla's mercy. Clare then used her Quick Sword to break the ground, freeing the team from the awakened being's control.

Undine's team arrived afterward, with Undine and Deneve eventually managing to sever the awakened being's head. However, the creature was still alive and attempted to force Wendy and Juliana to kill each other. Flora uses her Windcutter, assisted by Clare's Quick Sword, to once again shred the awakened being's head, saving the two Claymores.

After the first skirmish, Flora challenged Clare to a duel in order to test her Windcutter against Clare's Quick Sword. After the duel, it was determined that Flora's Windcutter was slower, but more precise, than Clare's Quick Sword. After the confrontation, Flora surrendered the title of "fastest swordsman" to Clare.

In the second skirmish, Flora was left to be guarded by Clare on the orders of Jean, who realized that Rigaldo was killing team captains to weaken the overall coordination of the Claymores. When Rigaldo attacked Jean, Clare, in a fit of rage, abandoned her post to help her. Flora was then left unprotected and at the mercy of Rigaldo. Before she could draw her sword, Flora was impaled through the forehead by Rigaldo, with little effort on his part.

After the seven-year time skip, Clare, in memory of Flora, was shown to have mastered Flora's Windcutter, utilizing it effectively during her battle with the awakened being Agatha.
