Background:

Florian was born as the wished-for labbaby of lesbian mothers. The moment their mother Bianca discovered the plan of her wife Bree, their baby couldn't come soon enough, and the baby agreed. Florian grew up as daring, quick too handle, afraid of nothing impulsive boy. They looked up to their older cousin Conall and had many squabbles with their sisters.

Growing up in a household full of women, they experimented with genderexpression early on. But their moms never really looked into it deeply, considering it not very noteworthy, indirectly neglecting their child's gender exploration and not preparing them for the real world.

Florian always got what they wanted, essentially growing up in a golden world, the only punishment they ever got being for extremely impulsive mishaps and rebelling - putting things on fire, not going to school, and so on.

The sudden heartbreak with Finn being pulled away from them was the first big blow in Florian's life, and they weren't the cheery child their moms knew for the rest of their turbulent, confusing teen years. In the meantime, the once small and baby-faced boy was growing up into a muscular, athletic, dreamy eyed young man with all the expectations that came with it. Expected to become the next hot sports star, a girlfriend on every finger . That "girlfriend" would rather be "boy"friend they had known for years, but they also felt increasingly uncomfortable with the masculine expectations society had laid out for them, something their moms never warned them for. When their "twin" sister Fuchsia found love and moved on when they were 20, that was another blow. Florian felt insecure and started-hyperfocusing on themself and their budding career as an acrobat. Trying to reach perfection in every way - laser hair removal to get rid of all the unnecessary bodyhair that disrupted their quick sleekness, strict diets to be as sinewy as possible and get rid of their - according to them - too bulky physique due to the musclebuilding.

But, handsome young man society deemed them as. Oversexualized everywhere they went, they wanted to become invisible, yet also be the star of the show. Just not as they were now. This reached its peak when they heard an ex-friend was pregnant with their child. While it turned out to be a farce due to the grazy girl's clonepotion stealing years later, the assumption she must've fed them drunk and somehow raped them, was too much. Confused with themself but knowing they don't want Gabriella to be raised by her mother, they started taking care of their babygirl at barely 22 - being seen as a weird single young father and jeered at in "new mom" groups, the next years were difficult. With little Gabi in their arms, they finally admitted to their moms that they had felt uncomfortable with being seen as a man for years.

A young person, single parent, baby acquired in mysterious circumstances. Both their career and lovelife struggled for the coming time. Another harsh break up and a general messyness and supposed hallucinations caused by a clone they didn't know exist drove them to their deepest. Now a high-functioning alcoholic and orthorexic, Florian decided to travel for months. First to Shang Simla, where they once again got confronted with their genderdysphoria masked as a guy in a conservative society, then to the fateful island of Isla Paradiso, where they saw a familiar face from half a lifetime prior working in a bar.
