Florence Bonnard,[1] commonly known as Flo Bones, is a relic-woman and an acquaintance of Anthony Lockwood.

Flo Bones was seen first when she was approached by Anthony Lockwood and Lucy Carlyle after Lockwood decided to ask her about information on Jack Carver. She has helped them ever since, though her relationship with Lockwood stretches much farther back.

On the Lockwood & Co. TV series, Flo is portrayed by Hayley Konadu.

Personality and traits[]

Flo Bones is generally ill-tempered, sloppily-dressed and of a suspicious nature. She is nevertheless prideful and somewhat good at her job and, like most relic-collectors, possesses a fair amount of talent.

She loves licorice, and often asks for it or is bribed with it in exchange of her services to Lockwood & Co. agency.

Flo Bones was terribly grubby, such that seeing her during the day made it seem as if all of the horrid implications of night were full realized. Lockwood once quipped that it had never been conclusively proven that she was a girl.

Biography (chronological)[]

(Partially told in Book 2, fully told in Book 5:21) Florence Bonnard, at the finals of a fencing competition, bested Anthony Lockwood who earlier bested Quill Kipps at the quarter-finals. (The same event started Lockwood and Kipps' rivalry due to Kipp's humiliating defeat.) The competition's winners were always from Fittes or Rotwell; but that time, Lockwood, under Sykes, won against the competition's favored competitor, Quill Kipps from the Fittes agency. And the winner, Flo Bones, was from another small agency.

She was a promising apprentice of a two-man agency of Sinclair & Saones (Susan Sinclair and Harry Saones). One night in a chapel, the team were surprise-attacked by two limbless. The two partners were killed. Florence survived by taking an iron cross, going to a corner, and wedging the cross to cover herself. She was trapped the whole night with the limbless trying to get to her and her companions lying dead near her.

That event changed Florence. She was done being an agent even after efforts from Lockwood to help. Flo Bones eventually became a relic-woman.

Years later, Flo Bones was approached by Anthony Lockwood and Lucy Carlyle after Lockwood decided to ask her about information on Jack Carver after they were given the assignment by Inspector Montagu Barnes.

Flo and George Cubbins would continually show mutual interest and care in a subtle manner. The two agreed to go out together at the end.

Trivia[]

  • She is the only female relic-man seen within the Lockwood & Co. novels. In the TV series, it is stated explicitly that she is the only one.
