BACK STORY:
Floyd was born into a fairly well to do lifestyle, her father having just begun what would become a very successful career, and her mother being a very attentive and kind young woman. She spent the first three years of her life living in relative peace and happiness, surrounded by family and friends, and spending a great deal of time with her sisters, despite them being twenty years her senior. Floyd had a very happy lifestyle, surrounded by people she loved and cared a great deal for.
However, Floyd was soon forced to leave her peaceful home due to a transfer for her Fathers work, being a military officer, that would send her halfway across the world. It was then that the family moved to Japan, as her father had just been moved to become the Executive Officer of one of the battalions within the USFJ, or then United States Forces Japan. Floyd was forced to completely readjust to life after this move, and caused her to become somewhat withdrawn due to the sudden cultural change. She became a rather distant child, but always wished to help better others lives, as her kindness remained hidden behind her dismissive attitude. Despite being rather shy, she always tried to go out of her way to help who she could, and many good memories with people in the process, be them with her fellow students or even adults around the town. Floyd spent a great deal of time volunteering when she could in order to further help others where she could. She also developed a good sense of reading people, after seeing such a wide variety as her travels permitted. She always loved to see how different people handled different situations, and often enjoyed simply observing others when she could.
It was also during this time that Floyd met Sousuke Yamazaki and Rin Matsuoka while attending school. While they were never the best of friends at first, a clear spark was there between them, and they often spent a great deal of time together while in school, being able to relate to one another on multiple occasions. They soon became very close friends who enjoyed each others company. It was a friendship that brought some light to Floyd's chaotic life.
However, despite the family wishing for the best of times, things only got worse from that point. Due to the nature of his work, Floyd's Father was rarely around for more than a few minutes at a time. This never stopped Floyd from looking up to him, however, and viewing him as a great father who always did his best to give his family a good home. Despite this, as Floyd's father climbed the ranks of the military, his family slipped farther from his grasp. Floyd often found solace her the silence of only her own presence, something that also gave her time to work more on her studies and various other projects, allowing her to become a very crafty young woman, even if she soon became very reclusive and a woman who rarely talked. This gave her a great deal of time to focus on her studies, allowing her to become an exemplary student, much to her enjoyment.
In an attempt to make Floyd more comfortable, her Father often sent her to visit Family in the States. Soon, things would reach a peak that was unavoidable: war had called Floyd's father away to another part of the world, giving him the chance to send his daughter back to the states to stay with Family. Things began to look up for a change Floyd finally being near her family again put in in a more comfortable position, and she was happy to have some people to communicate with outside of her little ring of fire. However, times had changed over the years, and Floyd barely knew who her family was anymore. It was harder for her to communicate with them, and she felt the extreme distance between them that had grown. Despite this, Floyd tried her absolute best to do everything she could to maintain good relations with her family. Floyd had great relationships with her sisters, Ana and Sarah, and loved her mother a great deal. This didn't mean she got along with everyone though.
Things did begun to look up, however, after Floyd again met the her cousin after many years, and who would become her long time best friend: Kei, through whom she would also connected with another cousin and Kei's younger sister, Lori. The three girls had a bond that was not easily broken, doing everything together and never leaving each other behind. They were practically sisters, but none more than Floyd and Kei. The two of them had a serious bond with one another, considering each other the most important people in each others lives, and almost never without one another. It was with these two that Floyd felt most calm, and for once in her life, at peace. They had many a great time together, be it in school, around town, or simply doing something that would otherwise appear stupid to everyone else.
Unfortunately, things were not always so grand in Floyd's life. While she was generally loved by many of her peers, her unusual upbringing and unfamiliarity with her new-old home, made her a target for some snide comments from others due to her fairly reserved nature, many people believing her to be rude and unappealing as a person because of this. But this would become the least of Floyd's fears. During a school trip to the beach, Floyd was caught in a current and dragged out and under the water. disoriented, she was unable to find her way back up to the surface, and blacked out. When she came to, she saw the familiar faces of her classmates, and was relieved, but remained in shock.
Floyd survived the incident with no serious physical damage, but with a fair emotional toll. An event like that really makes you look twice at the world. She was never really the same after that, accompanying her initial (and rational) distrust of people came a sever fear of the open water, and a distrust of any bodies of water. Floyd was scared. She missed home, or what she considered home.
Finally, wanting nothing more than for his daughter to feel safe, her father had taken it upon himself to bring his daughter some comfort and to help her relax once more. After becoming Commanding Officer of his battalion in the USFJ, he had decided to send his daughter and her two closest friends to school overseas on an exchange program, arranging school and housing for them in Japan, as well as occasional supervision from remaining friends in the USFJ, as well as Kei and Lori's sister, well aware of just how much Floyd missed her previous home. Floyd was of course excited for this opportunity, but at the same time feared moving to a place she had been long away from with almost no support right where she needed it, other than her two friends since her father was still at war. The fact the ocean was so close to where they would be didn't exactly help her either, but she still went along with it. Completely unaware of what was waiting for them overseas, the trio set out for the Country of Japan to continue their schooling and path to adulthood.
She currently lives with her dog and a friend of her family, while Lori and Kei live in a house not too far down with Kei and Lori's elder sister.
Relationships:
Haru:
At first, these two could not have hadd a bigger antagonistic relationship, even if they had very similar personalities. Floyd's blatant hate of large bodies of water was almost offensive to Haru, and they often bickered about the smallest things, much to their friends concern and amusement.
Their relationship didn't seem to be progressing very well at all, especially after becoming part of the swim club together. At first, Floyd blatantly refused to even try and take to the water again, being perfectly content with helping from the sidelines. This wouldn't stand for Haru however, as he was dead set and determined to get her to respect the water once more if she truly to be a member of their team, even once grabbing her and falling into the pool in attempt to get her to try and love swimming again during one if their first encounters as a team.
Despite this, the two have always looked out for each other, despite being equally quiet in most occasions, valuing each others independence and determination, holding each other in close regard, and becoming very considerate of eachother opinions, despite not always seeing eye to eye. They two developed a close friendship based on a mutual trust formed as Haru taught her how to trust swimming again, even leading her to open up to him about her past. Soon, after a near disastrous accident, Floyd had put complete faith in Haru, feeling as if she owed him her life, which she had to admit she did. The two even had a mutual attraction to each other eyes, being one of the first things they noticed about each other. Soon, those devotion to her friend turned into something more, Floyd experiencing feelings she had never felt before, and leaving her confused about her relationship with Haru, not knowing exactly how he felt. This point left her even more confused after impulsively confessing her feelings to him during a viscous but not uncommon argument between the two, leaving them both confused about thier feelings. However, HARU soon came to realize he had similar affections for Floyd, only realizing him after taking the time to think about what she had confessed to him. He soon took an opportunity to return the sentiments to her after kissing her during yet another argument, leaving them a bit unsure how to proceed, but determined to make things work out , one way or another, both showing a sweeter side to one another, Floyd trying even harder to get over her fears of water for his sake.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Floyd and Haru share a fairly interesting relationship. While they are the same in many ways, they are also vastly different. While they both share a strong determinations and desire to protect their friends, Floyd tends to be much more reserved and unsure about her decisions, a counter to Haru's typically confident decision making ability. While They both tend to be very quiet and taciturn people, Floyd's reasoning is due to her shyness, rather than Haru's need to only say what he has to. Because of this, it should be noted that Floyd tends to be much more submissive because of this, despite her rather blunt way of speaking. The two have a very powerful understanding of each others actions, however, making it much easier for them to communicate with one another rather than everyone outside their social circle. The two greatly honor and respect each other, something they had even before they became a couple. Despite her shyness, however, Floyd was the one to make the first move, even if it was in a rather subtle and accidental way. However, this was soon overcome by Haru's confidence, as he made the first official push in thief relationship when he was the one to kiss her.
Father: Floyd absolutely adores her father, and admires him a great deal, despite how little she gets to see him. She is fully and completely aware of how much her gives up to keep her as well taken care of as he can, and vise versa. The two share an extremely powerful bond with one another, and view each other as the most important people in each others worlds.
Mother: The two love each other a great deal, but that's never stopped them from being extremely different. Floyd and her mother rarely ever saw eye to eye on many things, her mother unable to understand Floyd's inability to show concern for a great deal of things. Likewise, Floyd never cared for her mother over-emotional state of mind. However, the two depended on one another for a great deal of things, and loved one another very much
Makoto: The two of them get along rather well, having a very close bond of friendship. Unfortunately, Floyd thinks Makoto is a bit too soft for his own good and, while she knows that a kind and good heart is powerful in it's own right, she believes he needs to, in a sense "toughen up a bit." Despite this the two are great friends and even alike in a few aspects. She admires his tenacity and prowess as a swimmer, and thinks him to be a very good friend whom she may be able to teach a thing or two while learning something or another day herself, while he respects her honesty, determination, loyalty, and intelligence, in a way hoping to learn from her.
Rin: It's hard to tell just how these two feel about each other. They first met during Floyd's time in school in Japan and then again after Floyd visits to Austrailia, and soon became unshakable friends until the day she was forced to move back to the states. Their relationship was fairly strained when they met again, Floyd having completely dropped off the radar without another word to him and suddenly showing up again. They are often shown to be good natured towards each other, yet at the same time have constant spats with one another. They often poke fun at one another, easily getting a rise out of the other, but at the same time have been known to show concern for each other. Those who know them well enough know that there teasing is all in good fun, and the two are actually very much alike in a lot of ways, and share a very sibling oriented bond if anything.
Rei: Floyd finds it very easy to poke fun at his overconfidence, admiration of anything he thinks of as beautiful, and his ridged nature. Even she thinks a person should have the ability to have alittle more fun in thier life rather than being so theoretical all the time. she often intentionally prods at his love for beauty and theory in order to get a rise out of him (which usually does work), finding him a bit too stiff, and a perfect person to tease. Despite her badgering of him, Floyd greatly respects Rei's work ethic and determination just as much as he respects her pragmatic and level headed nature, serious disposition, and her intelligence.
Nagisa: Since he reminds her so much of Kei in the long run, Floyd and Nagisa have always gotten along very well. while other may find his constatnt badgering something of an annoyance, she has always thought it was very endearing. They do enjoy poking fun of each other often, however, and anyone who didn't know how well off they were could sometimes think they were actually annoying one another, even though this is not in fact the case.
Nitori: Floyd has always absolutely adored Nitori for some reason, there's no denying that. she first met him while accompanying Gou to Samezuka one day in search of her brother and shes thought he was one of the most precious things ever since, (much to his dismay). Despite her constant doting on him and his clear irritation of this, they seem to have a well off friendship, probably one of the better ones Floyd has developed as well.
Seijuro- Floyd doesn't know Seijuro very well, but she does understand he can be a flirt. Despite this, she respects his ability to lead his team and his abilities as a swimmer.
Momo- Floyd doesn't know Mono all that well, but she does understand e can be extremely obsessive over both Girls and Stag Beetles. She respects his abilities, even if she thinks he may be a bit eccentric, and even welcomes his obsessive tendencies (over the beetles) within their 'friendship', especially since Kiyomi is obsessed with Spiders.
Souske: Old childhood friends, Floyd and Souske had always had an interesting relationship. While they both held a deep concern for one another and held onto an old friendship, thier relationship was clearly slightly strained upon reuniting with one another so many years later. they showed a bit of frustrations towards eachother for having left on such short notice, and seemed to struggle a bit with reconciling, even if they traces of their past friendship were still evident. After some more time had passed, they each learned about the others troubles, and soon came to realize thier frustrations might have been misplaced and misunderstood. The two began to try and repair thier relationship, showing a good deal of concern for one another as time wore on, but thier hostile nature towards eachother did still pop up every now and again. They hold a great deal of respect for eachother. the two were grateful to have eachother back in thier lives.
Kisumi: Floyd just flat out dislikes Kisumi, and vise vera. They have very differing personalities, and, though it's said opposites attract, these two could not be farther apart on the Scale. There isn't really any good explination behind thier dislike of eachother, it's just there.
Gou- at first, Floyd treated Gou as she did any other, cold and passively. Fortunately, given time, the two began to warm up to one another, Floyd finding Gou's obsession with muscles amusing, and Gou respecting Floyd's willpower and drive to overcome her fear. The two work well together as co managers of the boys team, and They are always welcoming of one another's company
Kei- There's only one word needed to describe the type of relationship Floyd and Kei have: Inseparable. The two are almost never seen without one another, and when they are, they're usually texting one another. The two hold a scared bond with one another built on trust and understanding. They share extremely similar interests and trains of thought, sometimes even being called the same person. They rarely, if ever, fight and know just about everything in one another. The two would be lost without each other, and would rather die than be separated from one another.
Lori- while Floyd has only known Lori for a couple of years, this didn't stop them from instantly forming a extremely powerful bond. Both shared common origins, as Lori was originally born in Japan, but moved to the states due to her father's job. Lori often acts as a voice of kindness in response to Floyd's usual cold nature, and understand each other very well, having similar trust issues and understanding about people. She, along with Kei, is one of the few people who knows almost everything about Floyd and her problems and reasons for leaving home.
Ayane: At first, these two didn't exactly get along, at least not when they were little. Floyd and Ayane had met eachother in the 3rd grade and thier personalities couldn't have been more different. While Floyd was typically quiet, shy, and an avid learner as a child, Ayane was a belligerent, laid back and loud mouthed young girl with little respect for authority. She was often in great amounts of trouble and often teased and harassed Floyd to the point of tears, but always got in trouble for it. They met later on in life after Floyd had moved to Japan,and, seeing as both girls had matured a great deal, they brought no bad blood with them. While it was confusing to her when she was younger, Floyd now understood that Ayane was put in a bad situation from the start, and never once held anything against her. This train of thought contributed to the girls budding friendship and forgiveness to one another. They could be honest with each other and see that, while they both had matured a considerable amount, they were the same girls they each knew in elementary school, (though Floyd had become much bolder and more secure about herself.) Floyd often contributes her mother like protective tendencies, partial aggression, and boldness towards Ayane, always being grateful for teaching her how to survive in the world. The two have a very close friendship that they wouldn't trade for anything, with Floyd acting as a good influence over Ayane and Ayane looking out for Floyd through thick and thin and watching her back like a hawk.
Kiyomi- at first, Floyd had some serious trust issues with Kiyomi, understanding completely that she only wanted to join them in the swim club so she could have a bit of extra curricular credit. However, as time went on, Floyd began to understand that Kiyomi wasn't all talk, and was actually under a great amount of pressure. She is grateful and respects got Kiyomi's ability to stay organized even under said pressure, and admired her ability to keep everything balanced out in her life. The two developed a great friendship with one another, always looking out for one another.
