Diflór

Diflór is a fictional character from the Spanish-language fantasy novel *El Principito de los Deseos* (*The Little Prince of Wishes*) by Spanish author Laura Gallego García. Introduced in her 2006 novel *El secreto del unicornio* (*The Secret of the Unicorn*), Diflór is a young, magical being from the realm of the *Deseos* (Wishes), a mystical dimension where wishes are crafted and granted.

Diflór is described as a small, ethereal creature with a delicate, almost translucent appearance, often depicted with shimmering, iridescent skin and luminous eyes. Unlike other beings in the *Deseos*, Diflór possesses a unique ability to manipulate and shape wishes, making them tangible and real. This skill sets them apart from other characters in the series, who may have different magical or elemental powers.

The character plays a significant role in the story, serving as a guide and ally to the protagonist, a young girl named *Luna*. Diflór helps Luna navigate the challenges of the *Deseos*, offering wisdom and assistance in fulfilling her own wishes while also protecting the balance of the magical realm. Their relationship highlights themes of friendship, trust, and the consequences of unchecked desire.

Diflór’s design and personality reflect the whimsical and fantastical nature of the series, blending elements of traditional folklore with original storytelling. While not as widely recognized as some other fantasy characters, Diflór remains a memorable figure in Gallego García’s works, appealing particularly to young readers who enjoy magical adventures and imaginative worlds. The character’s name, *Diflór*, is a playful combination of words, possibly derived from the Spanish *deseo* (wish) and *flor* (flower), evoking themes of growth and transformation within the realm of wishes.
