Loris Florentino/Behind the Scenes

Character Basis
Loris alludes to Kay from Hans Christian Anderson's story ''The Snow Queen. ''This allusion has had the following influences on the character:
 * Loris and Verde being identical twins is a nod to the heavy mirror theme in the story, as twins are "mirror images" of each other.
 * Roses are used as a symbol for the connection between the two protagonists of the story; this is where Loris' plant theme derives from.
 * In The Snow Queen, the titular queen affects Kay and causes him to forget where he came from and stay in her palace. Loris is similarly influenced by Aria.
