PERSONALITY cont'd: Remember those "few stray insecurities"? About those. There's basically two things that can make Floe uncomfortable. The first one is her country and the war its currently embroiled in. Floe has been raised to be as patriotic as everyone else- and she is! But she hates the war that her nation is in, and she hates the idea of fighting and killing. But she brushes it off by reminding herself that if they don't fight to defend themselves, people will die. For the most part though, she just doesn't think about it at all. She's got more important things to worry about. Like what she's going to wear today. Or whether that cute guy in her class likes her. Or whether she's really as comfortable with herself - and her body - as she acts. That's the second thing.
Anyone looking at Floe would think she's a total girly girl, and they wouldn't be terribly incorrect. After all, she loves frilly dresses and wears pink ribbons in her long silky hair that she maintains religiously. She carries herself with such confidence that it's hard for even her to see that there's something not quite right. But even though she does genuinely enjoy dressing and acting the way she does, she's never been entirely comfortable in her skin. There's always some feelings that don't quite match up the way she thinks they should. And after all, her country is very traditional, rigidly divided along gender lines. She likes people treating her nice because she's pretty, but she doesn't like being expected to act a certain way just because she's a girl. It's complicated. But she's still working these things out. And her typical method of ignoring problems until they go away isn't doing her any favors here.
As was said before, there isn't much to Floe beyond what you see on the surface. This isn't because she's shallow (although, let's face it, she really is kind of shallow), but rather because she's so honest and open that she doesn't ever feel the need to hide how she feels. She's not entirely carefree, and does have some worries - she's aware of what people might say about her wild and "improper" behavior, and she wonders occasionally - and only very occasionally - that they might be right about her. But she tries not to sweat the small stuff, because for better or worse Floe believes strongly in her own feelings, and she knows who she is no matter what other people say. Maybe.
COMPUTER APTITUDE: Floe knows how to do basic internet stuff, like checking her email and messing around of Facebook or whatever. But she's also kind of a massive derp. She can throw up a default filter (after being shown how) and that's it.
