Hey mun! I hope you're doing ok with school and your back. If you have time, I'd like to know more about Tiflora?? She seems so cool and badass in a way we don't see female saiyans portrayed!!

Kuro's Ancient Ask Trove

( Back's doing much better, thank you Anon. Just to catch up on events, I did graduate from my school and I have a job and work now. It's a bit stressful but I'm finally getting that moolah. )

( Now onto the question itself, oh man.. I just, asdljf we don't see much of the female Saiyans which is a shame. My thought process for Tiflora is just I wanted her to be the reason why Broly looks the way he does bc he sure as fuck doesn't have dear ol dad's genes in the looks and stature department. I wanted the Mother to have had those traits of being tall and strong with that long hair. )

( Like I didn't have much of an idea at first but I kept thinking on her here and there while trying to think of story where it'd be interesting but lsndlfjg making oc's isn't my strong suit but hell I tried anyway. I wanted her to have this sort of 'wine aunt' feel while also being imposing as a Berserker class and having leadership when she needs to be considering she's a commander of her own squad of other Elite Saiyans. Totally fucking hates Bardock bc lmfao, parallels and they would duke it out but this is a detail that doesn't need to be touched upon by any Bardock RP'ers. I am totally fine with having an alternate course of history or playing it out another way. Speaking of history, it may not mean much but I do like her being a history buff or an archeologist in some way for the Saiyans considering the lost planet Sadala. Maybe most of them don't care or maybe the field isn't well-looked upon considering the warrior culture but Eh? Idk, I just kinda like her being interested in something outside of conquering planets and fighting. I really don't know how much history the Saiyan race might've held onto or if there's even much interest bc it may be seen as a useless field but I feel like Tiflora would use her Elite status to leverage things her way a bit. If she were a lower class, that'd maybe be a different story but yeah. )

( There's just so much I don't know and chances are, we as the audience, don't know about Saiyan culture beyond surface level things so I'm really just throwing darts at a board to see what sticks y'know? Trying to think on how she and Paragus met to have Broly as their kid, what happened with her in regards to how she may have died or survive depending on AU's and things, she just gradually became more of herself in getting a taste for neon aesthetic and space gladiator/bounty hunting stuff. She'd still be interested in history but I feel that kinda fell to the wayside bc y'know the planet and its people are gone. Fighting in the arena for money and hunting people became a coping way if not drink and whatever pleasures she may glean on her own. She's just.. I don't know, I feel like I want to do more things with her, it's just a matter of me fitting the puzzle pieces in and seeing how it goes. Part of me is a bit hesitant that I'll mess up her character in trying to form a more solid foundation to both myself and the muses she interacts with but eh, it's a risk all oc maker's gotta take, right? )

( Tiflora is just a well loved oc that I had fun making and I'm still figuring things out for her and trying to settle on a design that makes her distinguisable from her kid but she's got her own feel, y'know? She deserves that much while she's cracking heads and taking names bc you can't tell me there are vicious Saiyanesses and it's a shame we don't see much of what they are or the culture of Saiyans in general in regards to its people and inner workings between classes, society, values and every little detail as they can come. )

( In short, I just wanted a big, buff Saiyan woman instead of the small Saiyans I got in Xenoverse. Like damn. I don't mind them I just feel like there could be more variances. )
