### Nicknames

Four
Blue (Nickname)

## Physical description

### First Mentioned

Chapter 3: Rest One - Numbers

Four (better known as **Blue**) is a prisoner in Ten's group at the facility.

## Appearance

Blue has blonde hair and baby blue eyes. More often than not, she has her hair up in a ponytail, but has been seen with it down once before. She's been described as busty, having a body sought after by some of the doctors.

Like all the prisoners, she dons a colored gown— baby blue, in this case.

## Story

### Past

When she is first interviewed by Gale, Blue seems lost. Gale insinuates that she had survived and accident, and asks her to recall her name. She is apparently able to without issue, but the feed is cut off with blue uttering "Ca-"
Blue has an affinity for the arts, particularly drawing with pencils and colored pencils. She often draws self portraits and flowers (noteably, blue hydrangeas), but has been seen putting her talents to use in general crafts as well. Ten notes that she has a certain polished look to her art that others don't seem to, so it can be assumed that Blue was artistically inclined before her arrival at the facility.
### The Facility

Four is overseen by Jude Christian, who doesn't appear to have much attachment towards her beyond sexual. Not much is known about Blue and her relationship with her own doctor, but she is the only Number in the group that enjoys or easily gets through her visits, mainly as a means of coping with being in an awful place by turning it around and making herself like it. She does have her favorite doctors like Nathaniel and Jonathan, and tends to find other visitors handsome. She's even explicitly said she finds Sven attractive, and would have preferred to have him over her own "old" doctor.
Blue's blunt and upfront personality causes friction between the other Numbers a few times, especially Violet. However, she can be seen as a voice of reason for Numbers like Ten and Lav, even if her approach is unconventional for Ten explicitly. Blue has a vastly different method of coping in the facility (enjoying visits) which was initially a point of judgement from the other Numbers (especially Eight), but after explaining her thought process, they all came to respect it, realizing that she is a victim like the rest of them.
Throughout the story, Blue is often seen drawing in the crafts room, watching movies in the rec room (most of the time not showing interest, but assuring everyone she loves movies when they seem to question whether she does) and joining other numbers during shared activities.
## Personality

Blue is very friendly and approachable for the most part, often greeting numbers as they enter any recreational areas that she's in and socializing when not in the middle of an activity. She also tends to joke around with the Numbers and has an overall laid back personality - often not taking many topics too seriously. Some of her jokes are fairly explicit and tend to elicit bashful reactions from the more shy or reserved Numbers

Blue tends to hide all her feelings under her casual disposition and uses her enjoyment of visits as a crutch to stay afloat. She has expressed to Ten a desire not to feel sad, and so she uses taking control of her own body through enjoyment of its abuse as a means to do so. Despite not taking many things too seriously, she does give Ten advice on this kind of method, telling her to give in to what the doctor's force her to do during visits. Even when she doesn't enjoy the kinks, Blue pretends to just to push through visits. In Chapter 72, she tells Ten "Might as well enjoy it yourself if they are. Why let them have all the fun?"

Because of her unconventional method, Blue is often seen as the promiscuous one of the group. However, Blue is willing to admit openly that she enjoys being a "slut" and has the tendency to talk about sexual activity openly. She even encourages others to open up this way because she finds it freeing, and it's because of her method that Nine, who also has strong beliefs about taking control of one's body, has attached herself to the girl as one of her close friends.

Blue is also seen as emotional when angered, sometimes blurting out hurtful words without thinking. This side has only been shown a couple of times significantly so when, upon becoming irate at Violet's jealousy toward Ten, she retorts to Violet that "no wonder some of us don't fucking like you". She apologizes for it later, but this shows that she tends to act first before thinking, whereas thers are the opposite.

Blue has shown a petty and catty side to her, again when Violet starts showing jealousy towards Ten over Cyrus in Chapter 31. When Blue questions why Ten tolerates Violet's outbursts, she pieces together that Ten and Cyrus have a more intimate relationship, and is quick to try announcing it to Violet in order to "stick it to her." After Ten explains the circumstances of her pervious visit with Cyrus, Blue calms down and promises to keep it a secret.

## Sexuality

Blue is heterosexual and has explicitly stated an interest in men.

## Relationships

### **Ten**

At first, Ten is rather skeptical of Blue's approach of simply enjoying her visits, but soon comes to find that her approach has a deeper side and meaning to it. Blue explains how she started out at the facility struggling to stay emotionally afloat until she eventually forced herself to enjoy the visits to convince herself she was okay. Ten respects Blue's mindset, but still can't get behind her method personally.
However, this somewhat changes with time, and Ten begins to more regularly question whether she can implement this method. Ten slowly comes to terms with the thought that some of the doctors do indeed make her feel good. She often thinks of Blue and attempts to get enjoyment out of a visit, but still struggles succumbing to the doctors based on her stubborn principles and pride, and her tendency to assume succumbing would mean relinquishing her sense of self and her strength.
Ten was initially off put by her casual remarks regarding what goes on at the facility (such as saying "I'll see you another time!" after Ten gets called through the intercom for a visit as if it were just a regular day), but realizes that it's something she's come to normalize with reason. Blue tends to keep a very non-serious personality even when discussing serious topics (such as trying to rub it in Violet's face that Ten had a close relationship with Cyrus) which frustrates Ten at times, but she finds value in the girl as she comes to understand her principles and reasoning more.
Despite initial difficulties, Blue and Ten share a mutual friendship. Blue often joins Ten to chat and hangs out with the other Numbers. Ten is also impressed with Blue's artistic skills, and compliments her for it.
### **Jude Christian**

Not too much is known about their relationship aside from Four calling him "pretty old", though it can be garnered how he uses her judging by Ten's own experiences with the man. Jude has shown an interest in the arts, namely photography, leading Ten to speculate whether he was drawn to Blue and chose her as a Number for that reason.
### **Violet**

Out of all the Numbers, Blue was the one who initially actively spoke out against Violet and was aggressively defensive in reaction to her jealous tendencies and overall irritable moods. Blue would even go as far as to outright tell Violet that no one liked her as a knee-jerk reaction to her behavior that once led to Ten feeling frustrated and hurt. Before Violet's shift in attitude, neither she nor Blue referred to each other by their nicknames, instead using each other's Numbers bitterly.
After Violet's willingness to grow from her transgressions, Blue eventually apologizes to Violet for her words, if while still maintaining her rather blunt attitude. Now, she teases the girl, but is overall friendly with her. While Violet embarrasses easily at some of her words, she has no issues joking back with Blue, or teasing her back. She and Blue also now both use each other's nicknames.
### **Lav**

Blue found Lav unapproachable at first because she often went off on her own, but after they first interacted, they mutually realized that they were relatively fun to hang out with. They are now often seen chatting together and occasionally watching TV in the rec room. After Ten's confinement, they are close friends.
### **Micah Galin**

Blue doesn't have a personal relationship with Micah but finds him "kinda hot", even though she doesn't play into his particular kinks every time she has a visit from him.
### **Tanner**

Blue doesn't much butt into affairs with Tanner aside from to comment bitterly on them, but she is unafraid from expressing just how much she dislikes him and his attitude. They have hardly interacted otherwise.
