Name: Ryoko
Age: 16
Appearance: She has black hair that falls to her shoulder’s with a cute little fringe, she has foils of electric blue running throughout her hair. She has lightly tanned skin.
Personality: Ryoko is a sweet and curious girl, she likes to question everything and well, she can get annoying. She happens to be always very smiley and most of the times she has a smile.
History: She is a dream, like Tidus. Ryoko is in his dream world of Zanarkand. She was his first girlfriend, one of the first people he had fallen in love with. She knew everything about him.
She is an orphan and therefore stays with the Zanarkand Abes Star Player in he’s boat house.
Where the story picks up Tidus has just come out of the stadium from losing a game, a grand final, that he’s team had had till he stuffed up. Ryoko is walking him home.

“So… why did you… you know” Ryoko asked looking at Tidus, her beautiful blue eyes open and full of curiosity. She wore the normal wacky Zanarkand fashion, long skirt on her left leg and then a skirt under that one that was a bit like a mini skirt. Her top was a singlet on the right side and then her left side had a long sleeve. Both clothes either black or blue to match with her.

“It was a mistake!” Tidus pouted, he wasn’t impressed with himself and honestly he was even disappointed in himself. This wasn’t how it was meant to be. He was meant to win and everyone was meant to love him like they loved his old man! It wasn’t fair!

“A mistake, that you forgot to hit the ball and splashed back into the water like a normal swimmer? Not a Blitzer?” Ryoko smiled, she didn’t care that her boyfriend hadn’t won. She actually liked to see him lose from time to time. Gave his head time to go down.

“I unfocused for a moment!” Tidus growled as they walked along the road that lead back to the boat house, through the city that never slept.

“Why?” another question came from Ryoko. She blinked wide eyed at Tidus as she took his hand. He’s hair was still dripping onto his clothes he was had been in a rush to leave.

“Ryoko!” Tidus snapped stopping and looking at her “What is with the questions? I don’t want to talk about it!” He said, he’s eyes glazing over. It wasn’t often Tidus got emotional but when he did. It really was something.

-Some time later that night-

“Here” Ryoko put her arm around Tidus with a mug of coco and placed her head on his shoulder “I’m sorry” she told him. The sounds of the waves calmly hitting up against the boat house was the only sound at the moment in the late night air.

“It’s been 10 years…” Tidus whispered taking the coco and tilting his head so it rested against Ryoko’s softly “I thought about him being in that position and well… I slipped, made the mistake that caused the team to lose”

Ryoko knew Tidus hated his father but she knew in a way, Tidus missed him. He missed having that man there in his life. And in a way because of his dad, he missed his mother. Who died shortly after his father went missing.

“We all make mistakes… yours was slipping at an unfocused moment” Ryoko said wrapping her arms around Tidus “And your father's was leaving you…”

“I hate him” Tidus clenched his teeth, looking down at the coco “So… much”
