Peony because it's actually a rather common flower, so the Last Peony would be something of a paradox, but it could suggest that she is one among many, yet different in her own right. Just a thought. :) Perhaps another consideration, although it's far less pretty, is Anconitum (Monkshood, African Boxwood, Myrsine, Wolfsbane), because the flower means "Chivalry, beware, a deadly foe is near." The Corruption of the Last Peony

Corruption because it suggests misuse and would belie Laura’s fear of losing herself. Peony because it’s actually a rather common flower, so the Last Peony would be something of a paradox, but it could suggest that she is one among many, yet different in her own right. Just a thought. :)

Because of her position as governess and down-to-earth personality, Laura seems more like an unassuming flower gilded in silver (that hint of mystery which shrouds her). The Silhouette (or Shadow) of the Silver Lily The Guise of the Fleur de Lis (it seems that the fleur de lis would be appropriate for its literal translation of “flower of the lily” [perfect!], the fact that the setting is in France, and because of Laura’s childhood which is rooted in Paris.) The Illusion of the Audacious Ivy (Although it is not a flower, ivy seems to possess mysterious and beautiful yet unassuming qualities—the makings of a great spy) To me, Laura’s character does not equate with bright vibrant colors such as green, blue, or red.
