Flora Finching
Flora Finching, fictional character in the novel Little Dorrit (1855β57) by Charles Dickens. Flora, the daughter of mean-spirited Christopher Casby, is a widow who was once a sweetheart of Arthur Clennam and still cherishes a passion for him. Now middle-aged, Flora retains a fluttery girlishness; though silly, she is nevertheless kindhearted and sympathetic.
