Florinettes
Florinettes are daemons that originate from the realm of Meldrassil; a world untouched by humankind and the blueprint for our own world. They’re naturally magical beings, born with the ability to wield magic. Florinettes are the only daemons that visibly age. The older a Florinette gets, the more overgrown they become, until they're eventually reunited with the forest.
Florinettes rarely stray far from Limnoreia, and are the daemons least likely to visit earth; as few as 3% or less of Florinettes leave Meldrassil. They prefer their own kind and their own forests.
Florinettes are born genderless and sexless and only begin developing sexual characteristics during puberty, and choose their pronouns depending on what they’re comfortable with and what they identify as. Some go their entire lives without developing sexual characteristics. Florinettes refer to everybody with gender-neutral terms, though some chose to use gendered pronouns for themselves.
Expected lifespan: anywhere between 200-500 years, with the exception of Bouquets.

Diet
Florinettes, along with Dragons, are the only Daemons that aren't dependent on daemons or humans to survive. Florinettes can live exclusively off nuts, greens, fruits and animals.
Flowers
Florinettes grow fragrant flowers on their bodies the moment they hit puberty. These flowers emit an entrancing, almost hypnotizing scent. People who inhale this scent will feel some sort of attraction to the Florinettes and a need to protect them; making a Florinette the perfect predator. The scent itself varies from Florinette to Florinette, but they’re always pleasant. In addition to this, the bodily fluids of a Florinette has addictive properties.
The entrancing qualities of a Florinettes flowers unfortunately make them sought after by criminals, putting Florinettes at risk of being hunted. Through digesting or smoking dried Florinette flowers, one can experience a high which puts one in a fuzzy, happy and very pleasant state of dreaming.
The flowers are also used for extremely expensive and luxurious black market perfumes that not only smell amazing, but also have the same powers as the flowers themselves; a power to entrance, pacify and lure people into the the wearers grasp. Picking a Florinettes flower is deemed extremely unethical as it's a very painful and delicate process; in untrained hands, the flower will wither and die within minutes.
A Florinette will naturally shed petals that quickly dissolve into nothing after a few minutes. A Florinettes flowers will also eventually wither to make room for new flowers; Florinettes usually eat their own withered flowers to speed up the process. The flowers bloom along vines that grow like strands of hairs on the Florinettes body.
The older a Florinette is, the more flowers will grow. Old age also results in a Florinettes body slowly being transformed into a garden; skin turns to bark, hair turns to leaves, and flowers bloom from orifices, until the Florinette returns to the earth. This makes the Florinette the only daemon that visibly age.

Ancients
Ancients are Florinettes that have surpassed the expected lifespan, and never stopped growing. These Florinettes sprout roots slowly grow to become a part of the scenery around them, eventually growing to become giants. Ancients are immensely wise, and younger Florinettes often flock to them. Ancients are tended to by younger Florinettes, but sustain themselves through the earth they're grounded to.
Not every Florinette becomes an Ancient upon old age, and Ancients are quite rare.

Bouquets
Occasionally, a Florinette known as a ''Bouquet'' is born. These daemons will look like any other Florinette at birth, but during puberty, the rate of which flowers grow will rapidly increase; and never stop. This means that as opposed to become overgrown with age, they'll become overgrown very early in their life. Loss of sight and hearing is common as the overgrowth blooms from orifices. The scents of Bouquets are more powerful than any other Florinettes.
Tragically, Bouquets have a significantly shortened lifespan, and they rarely live past 100 years.
The only way to obtain a Bouquet Florinette is through adoptables or special permissions

Looks
Florinettes are shapeshifting daemons, with their most recognizeable trait being their flowers. Florinettes can take the shape of a daemon thats almost identical to that of a Concubus, or chimera-like creatures, or anything inbetween. A lot of Florinettes prefer taking the form of a bipedal chimera. Florinettes, like Celendir, can grow singular horns like unicorns.
A Florinettes physique is usually made up from parts from different types of animals; canine, feline, equine, cervidae and bovidae. Florinettes only exhibit traits from these families.
