'''Nera [[Briscoletti]]''' ('''[[Flora]]''' in Japanese, which is left unchanged in fan translations) is a character and possible party member in {{Dragon Quest V}}.


She is a blue-haired maiden and [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]]'s daughter. Starting with the {{DS}} remake, she has a sister named {{Debora}}. She is one of the player's choices to be The {{Hero 5}}'s [[Heavenly Bride|bride]].


==Appearance and Personality==
Nera is a gentle and modest girl despite her family's incredible wealth, a stark contrast to her rude and outspoken sister {{Debora}}. Nera was designed by [[Chunsoft]] artist [[Hazuki Kurikara]], whose first draft included a lavender vest and shawl over a plain white dress with a ruby necklace, gold collar, and a ring of jewelry in place of a belt. Her second draft was much simpler, having straight hair and wearing a plain white dress with a gold torc and collar for accessories; this design was selected as the basis for her 16-bit sprites and was given a touch up by series illustrator [[Akira Toriyama]] for her official art.


Flora( or Nera) is the daughter of the wealthy man, Ludman. You first meet her as a child, but you only see her. She is returning to her home with her father (and in the DS version, her sister Derorah). Ten years later, you are on your travels when you come to Salabona, the place where the Zenethian Shields is supposed to be. It is in the hands of the Ludman family. Ludman is looking for a man worthy to marry Flora. You venture into a cave and locate the Ring of Fire. You then, with the help of your old friend Bianca, travel into a watery cave and locate the Ring of Water. After returning to Salabona, Flora sees that Bianca has feelings for the hero, and that the hero might feel the same. It is decided that the hero will choose who he wants to marry. If you pick Flora, she will say "She will be a wife who will depends on you for protection", but you can choose her anyway. After the wedding, Flora wants to go with you on your journey, but they have to ask Ludman first. he says that only is you do something for him will he let Flora go with you. You and Flora then travel to a nearby shrine to check the color of a jar. Flora is then able to go with the hero. They visit the desert, and learn that the hero is from Granvania and that his father was king. They travel over a mountain pass to reach Granvania, and the hero learns that Flora is pregnant, and also that Ludman isn't really her father After the hero is made king, Flora gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. During the night, Nera is captured. The hero goes to her rescue, but in the process they are both turned to stone and seperated. The hero is freed eight years later by his kids and Sancho, his father's best friend. The party then learns that Flora is the desendent of a Zenethian, implying that her true parents are from Zenethia. After two more years, Flora is finally freed and the family returns to Granvania. They then travel to the underworld to face Mildrath. As a fighter, she can use a small variety of weapons. She can mainly use whips, staffs and some swords. She is one of the best characters in the game for magic. She has a very ranged field of magic; healing spells, attack spells, support spells, and field spells. Also, being the daughter of a very rich family, her father will send her two gifts at s certain point in the game.
The 2004 [[PlayStation 2]] remake of ''Dragon Quest V'' embellished Nera's outfit to better reflect the rich family she comes from. Her plain dress has been replaced with a lavender one worn under a toga-style white gown with speckled cobalt trim, which is itself worn under a shocking pink covering. The three-piece outfit is held together by an obi-sash with gold and jewels, once again showing her family's wealth, and complimented with a large lavender ribbon. Nera still wears a golden collar and earrings, but has replaced her torc with a pair of bracers.
 
Her outfit, like that of most characters, has been made more elaborate in the {{Heroes}} games. She wears a pair of white lace opera gloves with pearl bracelets and a large decorative white flower at the top of her left glove, as well as white pump heels instead of her usual black. Her dress also has more lace details and an intricate embroidered pattern on the skirt and her hair bow.
 
==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
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 at [[Littlehaven]] harbor before moving on in the story. Nera will not be seen again until the second generation, where The {{Hero 5}} 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 prospective bachelors with retrieving the [[Circle of Fire]] & [[Circle of Water]].
 
When The {{Hero 5}} returns with both rings, Nera notices his friend [[Bianca Whitaker]] 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 5}}'s {{Wife 5}}. If the player does not marry her, Nera will marry her own childhood friend [[Crispin Burns]] and live with him in the Briscoletti's second home.
 
Upon reaching The {{Hero 5}}'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 Towers|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 5}} and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the {{Party 5}}. Together, they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find The {{Hero 5}}'s mother, [[Madalena]], and defeat the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

====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 {{PlayStation 2}} and [[Nintendo DS]] versions remove this limitation and allows her to be controlled as normal in the second generation.
 
====Spells====
Of the three brides for the {{Hero 5}}, Nera is the most able when it comes to magic and relies more on spell usage than [[Bianca Whitaker]] and [[Debora Briscoletti]], having the most overall spells of the three. Additionally, she is the only bride candidate with the ability to heal in any way, starting with <i>[[Midheal]]</i> in most versions or can learn it within a couple of levels from when she joins]. She is also the only bride with the explosive <i>[[Boom]]</i> family of spells.

Nera appears in the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] versions as a potential resident of [[Reaper's Peak]], residing in the version based on the far future of {{Dragon Quest V}}. She is having a picnic with her children in the open field of the village.  
 
==={{DQ9}}===
Nera appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be obtained when the [[DQVC]] was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, Nera gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.
*[[Nera's dress]] - Received when talking to her.
*[[Nera's hair]] - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*[[Nera's bracelets]] - Received after the [[inn]] is fully expanded.
*[[Nera's boots]] - Received whe the {{Hero 9}} is a {{Luminary V}}.
The player will receive the [[Accolade]] '''Well-Bred Bride''' when having acquired all pieces of her outfit. However, it is only possible for a female {{Hero 9}} to earn this accolade as certain parts of Nera's costume are female-exclusive.
 
==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Luminary}} can visit the Briscoletti mansion on the eve of the wedding via the [[Echo Chamber]] in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game. Due to the actions of a [[Pilferpitheucs|monster]] sealed away by her ancestor Rodolfo, Nera has been turned into an exact duplicate of her father on the eve of her wedding day. Thankfully, the groom is still away from the mansion and the [[Pilferpitheucs|monster]] has been located in {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}.
 
Nera is the most level-headed of the brides during the event, but still stresses that she does not want to look like her father no matter how much she loves him. When spoken to after the fiasco, the thanks the {{Luminary}} and wishes him good luck on his travels.
 
===''[[Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special]]''===
She is one of the three characters from {{V}} featured, alongside {{Bianca}} and The {{Hero 5}}. Nera's personality was changed considerably for the digital board game, playing the role of the stereotypical haughty rich woman instead of the picture of grace she is her other appearances. This has lead to much criticism from fans, who panned the development team for straying from the source material for the sake of making the character a cliché love rival to play off of {{Bianca}}. Ironically, Nera's reverse role would later inspire the creation of {{Debora}}, her sister from the {{DS}} remakes of {{V}} onwards.
 
==={{DQMBRV}}===
Nera can be summoned to perform a special attack. After leaping from the wagon, she pets a [[Shellslime]] for a moment, and then raises her hands to the sky, using the [[Circle of Water]] to summon a tidal wave at the enemy party.
 
==={{DQH}}===
Nera is one of the thirteen playable characters in the first game. She and [[Bianca Whitaker]] have been mysteriously transported to the land of Arba in the Dwarven settlement of Grannet on the night before one of them is about to get married. In order to differentiate her from other playable characters, Nera uses {{Wand}}s as her weapon of choice in the game, and can cast both [[Bang]] and [[Oomph]] in battle. Her [[Coup de Grâce]] is [[Big Banga]], where she raises her wand to the sky, twirling it around to gather magic, which she then flings forward as a giant bubble to create an incredible explosion a few yards ahead of her.

Nera appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as a recurring character that can be played as in co-op dungeons, but is unable to be used in the regular story mode. Her moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, and can also be used by the protagonists should they wield wands. Additionally she is unable to equip any new weapons, being locked to the Scirocco sceptre, though she can still equip Orbs and accessories.

==Quotes==
'''[[Knightmare Towers]]'''
:''"'Oh, <player>! I knew you'd come and rescue me! But... You really shouldn't have. The reason those monsters had the Chancellor kidnap me was so that you'd follow. It's the ringleader's plan to kill you and then become king in your place! Oh!"''
:''"'Stop! Stop this at once, Kon!"''
:''"'There you are, darling! Now's your chance!"''
 
==Etymology==
Nera's original Japanese name, Flora, is the name of the goddess of flowers in Roman mythology. She is also associated with springtime and fertility. Flora would lend her name to the English word, flora, which means plantlife of all kinds. The name Nera itself is a symbolic Hebrew name given to girls born on Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights and means "candle" or "Light". It is also the feminine form of ''nero'', the Italian word for the color black; this serves to contrast {{Bianca}}, whose name means "white".

"Wow! The dedication of these soldiers is so inspiring! It really gets me into it, too!"

—Nera, observing the soldiers training in the Gotha barracks in Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride.

Nera Briscoletti (Flora in Japanese, which is left unchanged in fan translations) is a character and possible party member in Dragon Quest V.

She is a blue-haired maiden and Rodrigo Briscoletti's daughter. Starting with the DS remake, she has a sister named Debora. She is one of the player's choices to be The Hero's bride.

Appearance and Personality[edit | edit source]

Nera is a gentle and modest girl despite her family's incredible wealth, a stark contrast to her rude and outspoken sister Debora. Nera was designed by Chunsoft artist Hazuki Kurikara, whose first draft included a lavender vest and shawl over a plain white dress with a ruby necklace, gold collar, and a ring of jewelry in place of a belt. Her second draft was much simpler, having straight hair and wearing a plain white dress with a gold torc and collar for accessories; this design was selected as the basis for her 16-bit sprites and was given a touch up by series illustrator Akira Toriyama for her official art.

The 2004 PlayStation 2 remake of Dragon Quest V embellished Nera's outfit to better reflect the rich family she comes from. Her plain dress has been replaced with a lavender one worn under a toga-style white gown with speckled cobalt trim, which is itself worn under a shocking pink covering. The three-piece outfit is held together by an obi-sash with gold and jewels, once again showing her family's wealth, and complimented with a large lavender ribbon. Nera still wears a golden collar and earrings, but has replaced her torc with a pair of bracers.

Her outfit, like that of most characters, has been made more elaborate in the Heroes games. She wears a pair of white lace opera gloves with pearl bracelets and a large decorative white flower at the top of her left glove, as well as white pump heels instead of her usual black. Her dress also has more lace details and an intricate embroidered pattern on the skirt and her hair bow.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit | edit source]

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 at Littlehaven harbor before moving on in the story. Nera will not be seen again until the second generation, where The 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 prospective bachelors with retrieving the Circle of Fire & Circle of Water.

When The Hero returns with both rings, Nera notices his friend Bianca Whitaker 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. If the player does not marry her, Nera will marry her own childhood friend Crispin Burns and live with him in the Briscoletti's second home.

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: a boy and 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 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, Madalena, and defeat the Grandmaster of the Underworld.

Level up restriction[edit | edit source]

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 PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS versions remove this limitation and allows her to be controlled as normal in the second generation.

Spells[edit | edit source]

Of the three brides for the Hero, Nera is the most able when it comes to magic and relies more on spell usage than Bianca Whitaker and Debora Briscoletti, having the most overall spells of the three. Additionally, she is the only bride candidate with the ability to heal in any way, starting with Midheal in most versions or can learn it within a couple of levels from when she joins]. She is also the only bride with the explosive Boom family of spells.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit | edit source]

Nera appears in the Nintendo DS and Cell phone versions as a potential resident of Reaper's Peak, residing in the version based on the far future of Dragon Quest V. She is having a picnic with her children in the open field of the village.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]

Nera appears as one of the special guests at the Quester's Rest in Stornway. This could be obtained when the DQVC was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, Nera gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.

The player will receive the Accolade Well-Bred Bride when having acquired all pieces of her outfit. However, it is only possible for a female Hero to earn this accolade as certain parts of Nera's costume are female-exclusive.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]

The Luminary can visit the Briscoletti mansion on the eve of the wedding via the Echo Chamber in the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Due to the actions of a monster sealed away by her ancestor Rodolfo, Nera has been turned into an exact duplicate of her father on the eve of her wedding day. Thankfully, the groom is still away from the mansion and the monster has been located in Alltrades Abbey.

Nera is the most level-headed of the brides during the event, but still stresses that she does not want to look like her father no matter how much she loves him. When spoken to after the fiasco, the thanks the Luminary and wishes him good luck on his travels.

Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special[edit | edit source]

She is one of the three characters from V featured, alongside Bianca and The Hero. Nera's personality was changed considerably for the digital board game, playing the role of the stereotypical haughty rich woman instead of the picture of grace she is her other appearances. This has lead to much criticism from fans, who panned the development team for straying from the source material for the sake of making the character a cliché love rival to play off of Bianca. Ironically, Nera's reverse role would later inspire the creation of Debora, her sister from the DS remakes of V onwards.

Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory[edit | edit source]

Nera can be summoned to perform a special attack. After leaping from the wagon, she pets a Shellslime for a moment, and then raises her hands to the sky, using the Circle of Water to summon a tidal wave at the enemy party.

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below[edit | edit source]

Nera is one of the thirteen playable characters in the first game. She and Bianca Whitaker have been mysteriously transported to the land of Arba in the Dwarven settlement of Grannet on the night before one of them is about to get married. In order to differentiate her from other playable characters, Nera uses Wands as her weapon of choice in the game, and can cast both Bang and Oomph in battle. Her Coup de Grâce is Big Banga, where she raises her wand to the sky, twirling it around to gather magic, which she then flings forward as a giant bubble to create an incredible explosion a few yards ahead of her.

Dragon Quest Heroes II[edit | edit source]

Nera appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as a recurring character that can be played as in co-op dungeons, but is unable to be used in the regular story mode. Her moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, and can also be used by the protagonists should they wield wands. Additionally she is unable to equip any new weapons, being locked to the Scirocco sceptre, though she can still equip Orbs and accessories.

Dragon Quest Rivals[edit | edit source]

Nera appears on several ability cards and can be used as an avatar by the player.

Dragon Quest: Your Story[edit | edit source]

Nera appears as a side character in the game, playing the match maker by encouraging the Hero to pick Bianca as his bride after realizing the feelings he has for her.

Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit | edit source]

Nera appears as a side character in the second part of the Dragon Quest V story event. If players choose her, she will accompany the party in the Dragon Quest V quest, occasionally finding additional treasures. She will also appear in the multiplayer lobby, if the host chose her. Choosing her also gives players the option to obtain equipment based on her, as well as blue wigs based on Parry and Madchen; and the option to dress Nera up with any armor the player has -as long as it's equippable by female characters.

In the last Dragon Quest V event rerun before the Global version closed down, players could obtain a big, pink cosmetic bow like the one Nera wears and her earrings.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit | edit source]

Nera appears as an S-rank character of the Hero family as part of the limited Dragon Quest V event, appearing on her own banner along with Snowbird. The player can choose to have her join as a companion in the Circle of Water quest. She wields a Lightning staff in her model. Nera also appears as a boss in the special Zenithian Brides boss battle alongside Debora and Bianca.

Dragon Quest Walk[edit | edit source]

Nera, along with Bianca and Debora, appears as part of the game's 2-year anniversary Dragon Quest V event. As in the original game, the player can choose Nera as a bride in Chapter 3 of the event's story. Each of the three has their own branching quests and the player cannot choose another after making their selection. Nera's route is entitled "Road to Happiness".

Quotes[edit | edit source]

Knightmare Towers

"'Oh, <player>! I knew you'd come and rescue me! But... You really shouldn't have. The reason those monsters had the Chancellor kidnap me was so that you'd follow. It's the ringleader's plan to kill you and then become king in your place! Oh!"
"'Stop! Stop this at once, Kon!"
"'There you are, darling! Now's your chance!"

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Nera's original Japanese name, Flora, is the name of the goddess of flowers in Roman mythology. She is also associated with springtime and fertility. Flora would lend her name to the English word, flora, which means plantlife of all kinds. The name Nera itself is a symbolic Hebrew name given to girls born on Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights and means "candle" or "Light". It is also the feminine form of nero, the Italian word for the color black; this serves to contrast Bianca, whose name means "white".
