Summary

Shuiro's early childhood was a relatively easy one. Two loving parents, a home constantly full of family and family friends, and even earned herself a childhood best friend after all the squabbling they'd done.

Things began to change for her as she got older in grade school. Having bested her class's popular student, Sarah, in a game of dodgeball, Shuiro suddenly found herself friends with the girl after Sarah's many pursuits. Two seemed to mix really well, so eventually, Shurio had introduced Sarah to Abel. Abel was nonchalant about her presence at first, but the trio became closer after spending more time with each other during the school year and summer break. The three were never seen alone.

The relationship between the three began to become complicated after Abel and Sarah had expressed romantic interest in each other. Being the type of person she is, Shuiro was naturally accepting of the two and initially thought nothing of it. However, what Shuiro hadn't initially picked up on was the way Sarah had been slowly trying to separate Shuiro from Abel, jealous of the closeness two of them shared due to their history together.

Shuiro eventually caught onto her and called her out on it multiple times. Abel, being caught in the middle, tried to find some neutral ground between the two. Shuiro's mother had unfortunately lost her life sometime after her younger brother's birth, which affected her greatly since Shuiro was extremely close to her mother. To Shuiro, everything seemed to become them times more difficult due to her mother passing. ( EX. Shurio's father falling into a depression and Abel distancing himself from her)

Sarah and Shurio's falling out happened when the two had gotten into a fight after Sarah had made a negative remark about Shuiro's late mother. Shurio, still grieving, had actually started the fight, which eventually becomes one-sided given that Shuiro was much bigger and more of a fighter than Sarah was. Shuiro was eventually expelled and her father took it upon himself to homeschool her. When Abel caught wind of this and separated himself from Shurio, she was devastated. Losing both her mother and best friend affected Shurio in a way she couldn't really put into words. She grew despondent and lost interest in many things she had loved doing. Her self esteem was shot and she felt that she really couldn't go to anyone on for this kind of situation, despite her natural instinct to run and cry to someone. The father of Abel, who happened to be close friends with Shuiro's father, noticed this and propose the idea to work with Shuiro through recreational activities. This sparked Shuiro's love and passion for judo and boxing. These classes provided Shuiro with a healthier outlet and distraction for her and she slowly started showing signs of her normal self.

During Abel's situation involving Sarah's false rape allegation, she stuck behind Abel through it all, knowing how difficult it must've been for him because of the influence Sarah must've had on everyone. It took a lot of Shuiro to approach and forgive Abel for "ending" their relationship based on his feelings for Sarah but she managed to overcome this and worked to become closer to him than before.

During this time, she wanted to appear tougher so she had decided to chop all her hair off, scaring both her family and Abel's. This wasn't the best option in the long run as Shu had grown to resent her choice and inevitably cry about having chopped her hair all off.
