Florentia Lombardi is the main character of I Shall Master this Family!
Appearance
Florentia has wavy copper-colored hair and light green eyes just like her father. She often wears grandiose dresses along with a ferronnière on her head.
Personality
Florentia is very hard working and knowledgeable, as it is seen in the flashbacks of her past.[1] She spent most of her time in the library like her father and became very timid and shy.[2] After her regression, she gathered up a lot of courage and anger that fueled her into becoming confident and proud of being a Lombardi. She speaks up when she thinks something is wrong and cunningly uses the fact that she is a child to create situations that help her and the people she loves and/or respects.
History
Before she reincarnated as an Lombardi she was a little girl who had died in a car accident in Korea.[1]
After Reincarnation
After the car crash, she opened her eyes to a new life as a baby. She thought that she had been born with a really lucky ticket in her hands. But she was mistaken. Her father, Gallahan Lombardi, was the third son of the Duke, but her mother was a commoner who died during labor and she wasn't officially recognized as his fiancé. And she, the product of their union, was allowed to use the Lombardi name because of her father's love for her, and with the permission of her grandfather. But she was still nothing more than an illegitimate child.[1]
A few days before her eleventh birthday, her father died. She didn't have anyone to take care of her and gradually became forgotten by the family. But because she couldn't bear to accept things as they were, she began to take family matters into her own hands once she turned fifteen. Desperation fueled her sincerity, and her skills weren't that bad either.[1]
And just like that, little by little, she increased her role within the residence, she began to manage the Lombardi Household from the age of eighteen.
When she was nineteen her grandfather fell ill and she began to handle all of his affairs. She did all this instead of the arrogant and incompetent uncles, and the good-for-nothing cousins. She undertook huge responsibilities although she didn't have any rights to them of her own. It was very difficult.
At the end of his days, her grandfather wished that he had seen her potential earlier and said that he would have passed the family down to her. She felt underqualified for that role because of her commoner background, but her grandfather reminded her that she is a Lombardi and that is enough. He apologized for not taking better care of her when she was little. These words pushed her even further to save Lombardi. She truly loved Lombardis.
But one day out of the blue she was kicked out of the house by her uncle. He looked down on her as an illegitimate child. She did something very hard for her, she begged him to let her stay, she would give up the Lombardi name and work for the family. They needed her there. But this wasn't enough she was still thrown out without anything of her own.
Then exactly 2 years later they had ruined the Lombardi family. Her hard work was destroyed.[1]
After Regression
Florentia decides to save her father from his death and save the Lombardi Family by becoming the Head of the family herself.[2]
After her grandfather, saw her reading the book - The People of the South, and witnessing her actions and words after her fight with her cousins, he decided to send Clerivan to evaluate Tia.
Clerivan asked her some questions about the book, and she quickly realized that this must be an interview to determine if she is suitable for the class he lead. She answered all his questions correctly and even gave him an answer he didn't expect, making him look it up in the book because he wasn't sure of it. She impressed him and she was invited to be a part of his class. [3]
When Tia and her father go for a check up for her knee at Dr.O'Malley's office, they meet Estira. Tia remembers that in her past life Estira had developed a cure for the illness that Gallahan will die from. She decides to get close to her.[4]
After the check up, while returning to the mansion, Tia remembered that something important was about to happen when she sees the crest belonging to the Dyurak Guild.
Tia starts her classes. The children are shocked when Tia enters the class alongside them. Bellezac accuses her of lying but she quickly tells him that everything is approved by grandfather. The twins, Giliou and Mayron, are awfully exited to see her. In the first timeline they didn't give a second glance her way. But now they were impressed by her hitting Bellezac and her winning. They started asking her all kind of questions about the fight which confused her.[5]
