Appearance Description
Taura's height causes her to tower over most girls and a bit of the boys at Fukushima High. Her smooth, chestnut hair is swayed easily by the lightest of breezes and she constantly has to move it over her ears to prevent her eyes from being covered. Taura's chocolate-colored eyes rarely blink and she likes to focus them on everything for long periods of time. Due to the rigorous training needed to fit the role of the Swim Team Captain, Taura's body is mildly toned and built. Her thin, pink lips are rarely pulled back into a smile, but when they are they always cover Taura's artificially whitened teeth and express minimal emotion. Her wardrobe consist of many clothes that are meant to be layered upon each other, as Taura likes to cover up as much as she can and feels protected by the thickness of the clothing on her. She is a fan of scarves and sweaters draped over the shoulders when not adorned in her school uniform.
Personality
Taura seems to lack the mental filter that exists in most people. A bit of her peers are intimidated by her due to her height and bluntness. She doesn't understand the way white lies work and likes to "keep it real" with everybody. Taura's face is almost always in the same, blank state and this has led to theories of her not owning any emotions beyond content and irritated. When provoked, Taura quickly releases her anger through a short, intense phrase of words then expects you to leave her presence as soon as possible. When the rare moment of Taura showing an abundant amount of emotions occurs, the quick burst of excitement or irritation cause timidness in everybody around her.
Taura isn't much of an extrovert or introvert. Anybody who approaches her shouldn't expect a 'Hello' or 'How are you?', but they would never see the Swim Team Captain distance herself from them. Some people like to call her 'The Rock' since she is often seen in the school but never arouses much attention. They like to say that she's just a living rock in the school that's just meant to be there, that's it. Authorities tend to take a liking towards Taura due to the fact that she gets her work done and likes to stay out of trouble's path. She has a few close connections throughout the school, but mostly she has some sort of friendship with everyone. If Taura felt any sort of hatred towards a person, she would just quickly cut any contact with them and move on.
In the swimming area, nothing much changes. Taura's feeling of protection from the many layers of clothing she wears disappears, but this doesn't seem that much noticeable except from the occasional jump when calling her name. When competing, people get a sense of carelessness from her since Taura's face remains in the same expression throughout the whole time she is in the water. Whatever her placement is in the competition, Taura nods with content and, like most of the time, moves on with her life like nothing ever happened.
Story
Taura was born to a high-class family on August eleventh. The clock struck a minute before midnight as soon as Taura took her first breath of life. Her crying was minimal and any noise from her stopped a few short moments after the doctor cleaned a bit of the blood off of her. The medical authorities were a bit worried, but this was only the start of Taura's lack of emotional feeling.
Throughout her childhood, Taura's parents supplied her with the most expensive toys, gadgets, and clothing. Whenever she wanted something, she received it. Whenever something bothered her, it was taken away. Taura's father thought this was the best way to keep his daughter happy, but her mother had a different opinion, fearing that Taura would grow up to be a spoiled brat that threw tantrums when something doesn't go her way. However, the mother was wrong and Taura never showed signs of brattiness or resentment when not given something she desired. Her parents thought she would change if another child came into the family so her mother refrained from pregnancy to keep Taura as the only child in the household.
The other children were always scared of Taura. She was always the tall one in the class and most of the boys were ashamed to be close to her. While other young girls were experienced 'puppy love' through little love notes and flowers handed to them by other young boys, Taura was at the local swimming pool swimming pool practicing breath techniques. Her father would often come and help her, and soon enough Taura became a skilled swimmer at the age of seven. Some of the boys were attracted to Taura's beauty and skill, but she never returned the affections that were given to her.
Shortly before starting high school, Taura somehow found her way into a regional swimming competition. Her parents came to watch and cheered for their daughter as she sped past the other participants in the shining, blue water. Earning a trophy for first place, this was the start of Taura's competitive swimming career and eventually one trophy turned into a whole counter of trophies. Her parents have a little place on the wall on top of the living room television that showcases all of Taura's swimming achievements.
Her sexuality was often questioned during her earlier teenage years. Some would think of her as a lesbian, while others thought she was just a shy heterosexual who was too shy to make a move on any of the guys. Taura struggled internally as she tried to find her sexually identity. She experimented with both genders in an attempt to break the internal shadow hiding her true sexuality, but failed. Her parents found about their daughter's actions and held a family meeting one night to try to get her to stop. Instead of actually listening, Taura threw herself into a deep session of thought, and this was when she realized that she didn't have a sexuality, that she might be an asexual. Since then, Taura learned to accept this part of herself. However, at times, she questions herself once again when a strange feeling of emptiness creeps into her life.
At the start of her first year at Fukushima, Taura joined the Broadcasting Club and the Swim Team. She remained an ordinary member of the Broadcasting Club throughout the year, although in the Swim Team she really impressed other members and the captain. Eventually, Taura was handed the role of Swim Team Captain at the start of her second year and has led the team to a few victories at competitions against other schools.
