"Flora" comes from the Latin ''flōs'' (meaning "flower"). Flora was also the name of a Roman fertility goddess whose domain was flowers, Spring, and youth. This goddess was not of Greek origin, unlike many Roman gods, instead coming from the lore of the Italic Sabine folk.
*Both Carrow girls were named after Greek goddesses. As both goddesses represent good things - the hearth, flowers, spring, home, family - it may be implied that they are nice people, regardless of being Sorted into Slytherin.

*It is likely that the Carrow twins are related to [[Alecto and Amycus Carrow]], as all four of them have Greco-Roman forenames and the same surname, as well as all being from [[Slytherin House]] (which often runs in the family).

Biography

Flora Carrow Slug Club Christmas Party

Flora at the Slug Club Christmas party.

Flora was sorted into Slytherin House along with her identical twin sister, Hestia, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven, and became a member of the Slug Club in the 1996-1997 school year. [4]

Flora and her sister were seemingly quiet at Slug Club meetings, and both had a fondness for the colour green, which they wore not only as part of their House robes, but by their choosing, as reflected by the formal dresses they wore to the Slug Club Christmas party.

Slytherins at Great Hall

The twins behind Pansy Parkinson in the Great Hall.

At the beginning of The Battle of Hogwarts, Flora and her sister were seen departing to the Dungeons. It is not known if she lived through the battle, though it is highly likely given that her and her sister's natures are not battle-oriented, and thus they would likely have fled at the first chance.

Etymology

"Flora" comes from the Latin flōs (meaning "flower"). Flora was also the name of a Roman fertility goddess whose domain was flowers, Spring, and youth. This goddess was not of Greek origin, unlike many Roman gods, instead coming from the lore of the Italic Sabine folk.
