Starla Tree

Starla Tree

A tropical tree found on the Fuline Islands and the west coast of Wing Alayna by the Great Buddy Forest. Their fruits can be found in different colors depending on the season, ranging from blue to pink and even yellow. They have a somewhat sour taste in the dry season, pictured here, and are sometimes used for making jam. In the rainy season they turn blue and have a much more watery taste. When the rainy season breaks, they become yellow and have the sweetest taste then.

Furheartian Varia Maria

A simple flower found to be growing in Furheart Iiah. Its bright pink stems are reminiscent of Vina Heartias, leading some to believe they are related.

Varia Marias come in a large variety of shapes and adapt to their environment. As a result, many flowers by the Varia Maria name look nearly nothing alike despite their documented ancestry. Due to how different they look, they are sometimes given native names and their status as a Varia Maria becomes separate.

Identifying a flower as a Varia Maria always starts with hearing from the locals about the flower's ancestry. Other than the fact that Varia Marias are always small, there is often very little linking any given small flower to the Varia Maria family, but beliefs about them abound. It was once thought that there was only one Varia Maria per continent, but this was later discovered to be untrue. That said, their adaptations seem to be linked to the area that they grow in, and some types of Varia Maria can be quite rare.

The Furheartian Varia Maria in particular is deceptively rare; it has the look of a very common flower, or like it might be a hybrid of a Vinia Heartia and some other plant. And while it isn't confirmed whether or not it has mixed ancestry, there is a reason that it was thought to be the only one on the continent for a long time.

Perloa Alnia

A relative of the Alnia family, Perloa Alnias tend to form a hardened ball in their centers as opposed to the more syrupy 'fruits' of the Korana Alnia and Korana Minia. The outside of it is much sweeter especially, and the inside of it is much more mild-tasting than the somewhat bitter taste of Korana Alnia syrup. Either way, it is less common than its relatives and thus a celebrated find when discovered.

Like other Alnias, the Perloa Alnia may be found typically off the coast of Koraln Sing in semi-shallow waters. Like its larger relative, the Korana Alnia, it also prefers growing on toadstool coral.

There have also been occasional sightings of it in the Girinia Warmsea off the south coast of Furheart Iiah towards Warminia Songlianne, which could explain the pink coloration of many of the specimens. In addition, there have also been sightings further out into the Buddy Ocean between Wing Alayna and Koraln Sing.

Halafura Duloa

The petals of this flower were once so frequently used in tea that the flowers were never seen beyond the closed blossom stage, leading some to believe that Halafura Duloa flowers never opened. It was also once believed that the flowers would only open simultaneously. While this does frequently occur with Halafura Duloa pairs, there are some that choose to open at a different time than their twin.

Originating from Fuline Ah, the Halafura Duloa is sometimes also spotted along the west coast of Wing Alayna.

Kreflower Kleera

A clear flower that grows in Crescent Minoria. Unlike many of its peers, this plant grows with absolutely no pigment. This is thought to be due to how quickly it absorbs and utilizes the moonlight it receives from Crescent Minoria's moon, leaving no time for it to develop pigmentation. Though they were once reported to have light pink, transparent petals and dark green stems that were likewise transparent, it seems they have more recently adapted to develop no pigmentation whatsoever. What caused this adaptation to occur is currently unclear.

Fulinean Buddy Tree

Once thought to be a legend, Buddy Trees were recently rediscovered in remote locations on several of the continents. Mysteriously though, this locations are difficult or sometimes impossible to find again, leading some to believe that these locations are in fact pocket dimensions, or perhaps that there is only one Buddy Tree that changes its appearance each time its seen depending on where it is located. The Buddy Tree once grew solely in Wing Alayna, and, as the legend goes, would bear vastly different fruit per year. Another legend states that a guardian of time lives in the knot of the tree, connecting the world to the lands of legend.

It was also once thought that the Storydancers came from the Buddy Tree or perhaps lived in it, or even used it as a portal to visit the lands of legend and bring back tales. Though there does seem to be a connection between the Buddy Tree and the Storydancers, it is unclear at this point whether that connection is merely mythical or has some substance to it.

Storydancers are a particular kind of Dancer Buddy that carry scrolls with them and regale their audience with tales as they perform their dance routines. As they travel about without a home, they often take up residence in the Queen's palace, or stay with a host family before moving on. There are no known Storydancer mixes, and if you ask them why, they'd probably reply that they love story more than the idea of settling down.
