'''Nera Briscoletti''' ('''Flora''' in fan-translations) is a character and possible party member in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. She is a blue-haired maiden and one of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]]'s two daughters.

==Appearance and Personality==
Nera is a gentle and modest girl, a stark contrast to her rude and outspoken sister [[Deborah|Debora]]. Her outfit is a bright white and pink affair, its intricacies reflecting the rich family she comes from.

==Story==
{{spoiler|start}}
The player will first meet Nera at the start of the game where she is still a child, seeing both her and her sister for a short time before moving on in the story. Nera will not be seen again until the second generation, where the [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|Hero]] will catch her runaway dog Bingo shortly after entering [[Mostroferrato]] for the first time. Mr. Briscoletti is in possession of the [[Zenithian shield]], and will only give it to the man who marries his daughter. Looking for a man worthy enough to be her groom, he tasks perspective bachelors with retrieving the [[Circle of Fire]] & [[Circle of Water]].

When the hero returns with both rings, Nera notices his friend [[Bianca]] and wonders if he has feelings for her. Her father asks that he choose between Nera and Bianca, agreeing to finance the wedding either way. Before he can make a decision, her sister Debora emerges and offers herself as a last minute bachelorette.  If the player chose Nera, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as the hero's wife.

Upon reaching the hero's homeland, the kingdom of [[Gotha]], it is revealed that Nera is pregnant and she will stay in the castle to rest until it is time. After he returns from the [[Riteof Passage]], she gives birth to twins: [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|a boy]] and [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|a girl]]. The hero is coronated as the new King of Gotha - but after a night of celebrations, Nera is abducted by monsters while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from [[Kon the Knight]] at his [[Knightmare Tower|towers]], it is learned that she has the blood of the legendary hero - and for this reason she and her husband are turned to stone by [[Bishop Ladja]].

In the eight years that pass, Nera's petrified form ended up at the temple of [[Crocodilopolis]]. The hero and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the party. Together, they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find the hero's mother, Madeline, and defeat the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

==Equipment, Stats, and Abilities==
Nera can equip most knives, whips, and staves. Her selection is virtually identical to Bianca, except she cannot wear the Metal King Helm.

==Level up restriction==
In the [[Super Famicom]] version of the game, Nera could only make it to Level 10 in the second generation, as well as being uncontrollable.  The [[PS2} and [[Nintendo DS]] versions remove this limitation and allows her to be controlled in the second generation.
