IC Information: Names: Sweden/Siiri Pulkkinen and Floweregg Canon and medium: Axis Powers Hetalia (webcomic and printed comic) Why should they be combined?
Floweregg as a character hinges massively on being Sweden and Finland's pet. Large parts of what she is she is exactly because of that: Nations have the ability to pass a good number of their "racial" traits on to those living beings that stay close to them for an extended period of time, at least as long as those beings stay close to them. Floweregg, when Finland found her, was a completely ordinary puppy. Well, now she's been a puppy for over 400 years. But nation immortality is not the only thing that pets acquire. Human-like intelligence is another one, as is ultimately the ability to speak to other kinds of animals, including humans*. Basically, if Floweregg regained her canon self and no nation was around, she would quickly revert back to a normal dog - which in a game like STE where characters aren't just frozen in time, like in many other games, I feel would be a serious issue.
[*NOTE: We know that (some of) the cats can do that, at least. As they seem to exist in the same universe as the rest of APH-world, and as we have evidence that the not-cat pets can talk to other kinds of animals in a way resembling human speech, expressing human thought patterns, it is likely that non-cat-nation-pets could, or can, speak to nations as well - after all the cats hide this ability from their nations, too.
Floweregg has spoken in canon, but that was a Christmas present and not a permanent acquirement of the ability - but she is also a relatively young pet, compared to some others. Since her human-like thinking is easily advanced enough for speech, I'd say that at one time before her nations leave this world she'll definitely acquire the ability.]
Secondly, Floweregg has yet to show up without either Finland or Sweden around. She switches between those two (I have permission from Åsa-mun for this app request) but is never apart from them, which makes sense considering the above. She'll often ride on their shoulders, or cling to their clothes, and while she can act independently, she rarely seems to do that.
Lastly - Floweregg can be played independently, but she toes the line very hard because of how dependent she is on Sweden and/or Finland being present. I've played her as an independent character before, and me and Finland-mun have played her as a regain before. The option of playing her as a combo addition to one of her nations feels to me like it would be the perfect solution for her.
