History: (Scarlet Spider II#4) - The berserker-child Flower was one of the Assassins Guild assassins that Bella Donna Boudreaux dispatched to Houston to kill the Scarlet Spider. She found him after he'd fallen off a train battling her colleague Smithy. He mistook her for a bystander and told her to run but she, in turn, told him to run right before he was attacked by another assassin, Harvester. After cutting the Spider, Harvester left him to Flower's mercies. She grabbed him and tossed him into a wall, furious that he hadn't run and thus prolonged their battle. Soon, Smithy and Deadhand arrived on the scene. The Scarlet Spider then used his suit's invisibility powers to take them all on and after he took down Deadhand and Harvester, Flower charged him but he tripped her up with his webbing. She and the others retreated and the Spider struck a deal with Bella Donna to call the Guild off.

(Scarlet Spider II#18) - Flower was among the Assassins Guild members to defend their citadel when Scarlet Spider and Wolverine attacked it. She ambushed the Scarlet Spider and tossed him aside, again demanding that he run away but when she went after Wolverine, he knocked her down with a swift kick in the ribs. 

(Scarlet Spider II#19) - Flower watched as the Assassins Guild's patron, the immortal, death-fueled Red Death (Candra), battled Wolverine and the Scarlet Spider. Soon, however, the battle took its toll on the External and she slaked her hunger for death by killing Assassins Guild members. She and the others joined forces with the two heroes. She tried to throw Harvester to attack Candra but the immortal halted his flight and snapped his neck, killing him. Bella Donna then tried to kill the Scarlet Spider to placate the Red Death but Flower punched her leader out and implored the hero to fix things. He did so, teaming with Wolverine to kill Candra. Flower and the other surviving assassins stood down when the Kingpin's Arranger came to immediately absorb the Guild into the crimelord's operations and absolve the Scarlet Spider of his debts.

With her long, face-hiding black hair and white nightdress, Flower bears a certain resemblance to Sadako Yamamura/Samara Morgan, the spooky ghost girl from both the Japanese and American versions of The Ring.
