Overall Persona:
Florian is a quiet and nice pony all around. He’ll be most likely keep to himself unless approached by others. The reason behind this is that the earth pony has a strong natural shyness that always make him believe he’s bothering any pony he crosses path with. As of lately, he’s been trying to improve that, but it still shows often. Florian likes to make others feel great about themselves and will often compliment them, once he finds the courage to do so. Also, the pony is a rather calm one and while he doesn’t lack energy, he won’t be the kind to run around or party all night.
There is two times though where Florian isn’t his normal self. Standing in a flower garden, especially his, or while working, Florian’s courage seems to grow tenfold. He’ll approach potential customers with a smile and without a single doubt. If he’s by the door of his store, he’ll happily wave and greet any pony that walks by and if he’s in a flower garden, he’ll be so at ease that it seems like his shyness disappears. Being around his family or friends he trusts has a similar effect on him.
Backstory:
Florian was brought into this world into a loving family in Canterlot. His mother, Lily had a special touch with nature and it was said that she could speak to all plants and make them grow bigger and faster. Even with that rumored talent, she stayed at home and lived on the salary of her husband, Basil who was a chef in a restaurant of high reputation. Florian could have grown up in a house filled with luxuries and could have gotten everything he wanted, but his parents had both agreed before their wedding that they’d never live beyond a comfortable life even if they had the mean to do otherwise. Any extra bits they didn’t need, the Greenhooves family would save up, share or give to charity.
It was with that kind of mindset that Florian’s parents raised him. Along with his siblings, Florian never ever felt unloved or forgotten and even though they could have afforded most if not everything their children wanted, Lily and Basil taught Florian and his brothers and sisters to work for what they wanted. As a young colt, Florian helped his mother around the house whenever he wanted a new toy and as he grew older, he started earning his own bits by taking part-time jobs in shops and stores or by helping his neighbors.
The earth pony picked up his cutie mark when he was old enough to work like an adult. He had decided to take up a job as a pony-do-it-all for a richer and noble family as he was known already for being a trustable stallion that could and would work to the best of his abilities. One day, the master of the house told him to go help with the gardening in the backyard and the young stallion immediately used what his mother told him to help the plants grow faster. To everypony’s surprise though, the /red/ roses of the garden had grown and bloomed into multiple shades of red. Florian didn’t understand how it happened at first, but pleased with the result, the pony who hired him told him to stay in the garden and work his talent. It took the earth pony several months to understand that with great care and attention, he could change how a flower or plant would look like once fully grown by talking to them and giving them all the care he could. It wasn’t magic or at least, he didn’t believe so, instead, just like every plant is a living being, he believed that they listened to what he wanted them to become even without him telling them, they could simply sense what he wanted them to be. A year later, his cutie mark appeared and he was very proud of himself.
When he reached the stage of early adulthood, with the help of his mother who happily followed her son in his enterprise, Florian opened his own florist store where he’d grow all kind of flowers with exotic colors and sell them to his customers. Even though many shops had similar goal, none managed to have so many colors and the flowers were of the best quality so the store soon picked up in popularity and Florian had to stop working in the store and focus only on growing flowers. He hired one of his siblings to replace him as the store manager while his mother kept track of who wanted what for him. She was so proud to see every of her children slowly finding their vocations.
A year later, Florian was earning a decent salary that allowed him to move out already, but he refused to do so. He wasn’t used to have so much money and being a little bit shy when he wasn’t with one of his family member, he was scared to go live on his own. While he was still in the process of deciding what to do while repelling his parents’ attempts at convincing him to move out so he could really live his life, he was approached by two ponies who told him that they required the services of talented gardener and growers for the Fillydelphia Flower Fields project. That was when Florian finally gave up, accepted the job and after a hard time saying bye to all of his family, he moved out on his own in his own large apartment closer to his new job in Canterlot.
It took him a whole month to build up the courage to speak to the ponies living around him and when he was working, he kept to himself most of the time. When the project was finally done, he had barely re-developed his social skills which he had lost as he wasn’t with ponies he knew anymore. He lived on the money he had made back with his family for a year and being in a crowded metropolis, the earth pony eventually built up his social skill so he could work again and this time, without his family around. Sadly, the small store he opened didn’t pick up much popularity this time around as Florian didn’t have enough green space to properly take care of the flowers he grew. And so he decided to move out again to a new place called Ponyville… With a new place came a new life and this time, he wouldn’t let his shyness take over.
