backstory: Azure was a normal girl once. she was a simple little cat, with only one friend. for her 14th birthday, the two had gone to a nearby beach. Azure's friend had never learned how to swim, so she held on to Azure in hopes of safety. recently, Azure had been getting more attention from their peers. some of the popular kids just so happened to be at the beach that day. one of them called out to Azure, which she responded to with: "give me a second!" the longer she took, the more they rushed her. teasing and laughing at how much she cared for her little nerd friend. Azure got fed up with the teasing, and swam faster, slowly loosening her friend's grip on her. they were close to the surface when her friend lost grip and fell into the water. in a panic, Azure swam down to try and catch her friend, who was sinking further and further out of her reach... Azure didn't stop though. she kept swimming further down until her friend was out of sight, eventually running out of breath... she was too deep to get to the surface in time. knowing how she forgot the one who cared about her and let her perish for no other reason than her own depleting self-esteem, the regret refused to move on, trapping her on the shore's surface as a ghost for eternity.
