Equipment: A makeshift spear made out of a mop. A switch blade knife given to her by Abuela. Travel bag with provisions. Bicycle.

Appearance: She is of very slight build, which is common considering everyone's poor diets. She has light brown skin tone and brown eyes and hair. Her hair is long and unruly, though usually pulled ito a braid falling down her back. She also wears a green hat with a wide brim, which is needed for her long trips. She wears dingy gray oversized overalls and a long sleeved "white" shirt. She completes the ensamble with some black rubber boots (probably were for the rain).

Personality/Character: Like many in this world, Floralita has been taking care of herself since the single digits. She enjoys fishing when she gets thechance, but obviously good fishing points are hard to come by. Instead, she survives by providing a much needed service mostly in the area of what was "New Mexico". She is usually pretty level headed and easy to get along with. Her weakness is for relics of the old world her Abuela used to tell her about. The item she has to remember her Abuela is a Rosary necklace.

Backstory:
Her family traces back to the once overpopulated metropolis, Mexico City. She wasn't around at the time but due to food shortage, disease, rogue animals, etc many were forced to leave the city. Floralita's family were among the few to stay. She was born many many years after the event and her Abuela (her father's grandmother, really) was one of the few who still remembered the old world since she was 9 at the time of it distruction. Floralita's father left when she was a baby in search for the Rio Grande which was said to still flow, so when her Abuela finally passed when Floralita was 7 she was forced to make a decision: stay and fight in the city or search for her Father who she only knew by name. (his name is Filipe) She decided to leave and ventured north.

Now it's 7 years later. Floralita seems to have lost sight of her goal. She works as a "post girl" one of the few who dare brave the wilds to deliver mail and provisions to the people of the south west who need it.
