Yeah, that'd work. Hopefully she has a thick coat or three (or maybe just a great many 'borrowed' habits) and a stash of hot oil to keep her warm, because it is not at all a straight shot over to where the Seekers were. She'd have to climb up the mountain for bit, then move laterally a long way through the wind and cold and snow. The gateway to the Graveyard of the Peaks is at a higher elevation than the Convent.

Bio
Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.
Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

I don't feel like the sisters would particularly enjoy Flonne's presence once they realized that she's not on board with the whole "suffering as virtue" thing they've got going on in Cvstodia. It's probably very confusing for them, faith wise.
That's a good point, unless in their zeal they're able to justify healing as allowing them to suffer even more.
Maybe that would lead to Flonne being a fugitive in the place, trapped with nowhere else to go and constantly hiding out from the Sisters who seek to hunt her down and burn her.
In that case, she would just need some sort of reason as to why she would be able to suddenly leave the Convent to go on a long and perilous journey up the mountain. Or at least to where Laharl is, since that's what I assume you want. Contrivances being what they are, maybe she's taking a break from tending to the sisters' horrific burns and wounds through one of the Convent's deambulatories and sees Laharl throwing some kind of showy tantrum from far away with his powers, due to his anger and helplessness at the stubborn Seekers?
What Master Hand does and doesn't do is governed by strict plans and rules. It is not the type for meaningless pranks. If anyone was just stuck on the mountain alone in the elements without gear or preparation the cold would almost certainly claim them. There are a lot more people that could use her love in Al Mamoon, or even Lumbridge, for instance.
However, there was one possibility I left open. The building that Midna spotted: the Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage. It's essentially an abbey whose sisters worship a woman whose face was used as a likeness for divinity, but who burned her face with boiling oil as an act of piety to distance herself from such comparisons. Those who reside there, half-frozen by the cold and half-burned by the scorching lava that flows within, are extremely hostile, but since Flonne is an angel it's possible that they see her as a divine benefactor come to ease their pain. She may have come this way after hearing about it while in Tostarena or Al Mamoon, wanting to provide what comfort she could to a place suffused by suffering.

@Lugubrious Also getting Flonne over to the CS section. Can she start on the mountain?
That depends. Why would she be on the mountain, in such a hostile and unforgiving place, where no amount of love will overcome the callousness of wind, cold, and stone?
In that case you're good to go. Once you put the character in the CS tab we can talk his outset in the PM.

@Lugubrious Just finished up my CS! Hope it's better or just as good as last time.
Overall the sheet seems good, and acceptable in its current state. However, I feel like the personality section makes him seem a bit more cruel and one-dimensional than in MGR. Although he's suffering from PTSD and indeed has the persona of a bloodthirsty killer buried within, he's also committed to protecting the weak at all costs as a result of his past as a child soldier in Liberia. He's also something of a dork at times, such as with his 'disguise', being a bit of a weeb about samurai, and his fanboyism of Snake, and despite his troubles he's ultimately a good guy trying to do what he thinks is right, even if that demands sacrifice. Unless you're reinterpreting the character as more strictly edgy?
Right now that sounds like a personality trait. If you're looking for a Strength, it could possibly be phrased in such a way that her kindness and optimism tend to rub off on those around her, inspiring them to try and be nicer themselves.
Were you acting out your introspection, or did you mean to mention someone else? If it's me, I'm afraid I don't know anything about Flonne or her strengths. Can you convey any information about it?
