Neopolitan is a woman who was continuously told to be someone else or told what to do all her life. She eventually discovered and accepted her actual self and went on her own while discovering family along the way. With her new found family being taken away from her and now being thrust into a foreign environment, she must once again learn to live and find a family in this new world. Himiko Toga is an outcast among her peers, instructors, and even her own family. She is expected to act and be the perfect girl that society and her parents envision her to be, even if it means sacrificing her own identity. She is swimming against the river of life and is being swept up in it, but she quickly discovers that swimming against the current is easier when there is someone at her side.
