Francoise Hanataro is a minor character who first appears after around five kings have been defeated. He is a horticulturalist, sent as a representative of the Kingdom Flower Association to meet King Corobo, and is then added to the Kingdom Plan as a Flower Appointee.
When purchased, Francoise will stand in the lobby of the Castle. Talking to Francoise allows Corobo to customise the colors of flowers across The World: red, blue, white, a mixture, or prismatic. Upon making a selection, Francoise will perform a dance, and his magical powers will somehow change all the flowers in the Kingdom instantly.
Etymology
Francoise is a French name meaning "from France", although oddly it is usually a female name. This is corrected in the French version. Hana is Japanese for flower, and taro is a common given name for men in Japan, giving his last name the meaning of Flowerguy.

Trivia
- Francoise's hat is similar to the ones that citizens can wear after entering a Florist. This is despite apparently coming from a separate organisation, further suggesting the two are related in some way.
