Float

* Original Body
* Replica

**Float** is a part of a group of renegade robots, along with Flint and their leader Double, introduced in *Spark the Electric Jester 2*. Her group was hired by Freom to kill Fark.

## Appearance

Float possesses a distinct, humanoid appearance, due to her being a Formie turned cyborg. She is a light, metallic gray in colour. Her arms and legs have no hands or feet respectively, instead tapering into yellow points. Yellow crescents float above her arms, one above each half of her arm. When in combat, four more, larger crescents appear behind her.

She wears pink eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick. Her name is engraved under her left eye, but only in-game. Her hair goes down to her waist, and transitions from purple to pink at the ends. She wears a red hat, with a fluffy brim and pom at the end. Her pink dress reaches her knees, and fans out. The collar and hem of her dress are lined with fluff.

When enraged, she loses all of her clothes, only keeping her hat. Her sclera becomes black, her hair becomes shorter, and she constantly wears a wide, sharp-toothed grin. Glowing yellow markings are shown on her neck and torso. She possesses a noticeably muscular physique under her dress.

## Personality

Float is confident in herself, that sometimes displays itself in cockiness. However, she apparently has no real reason to fight, according to what both her and Flint say during their conversation before Castela Blanca. She has a soft spot for Flint. This softness may have been extended to Fark as well, as Float saw a brief longing for friends from him. If what Astra said after her boss fight was true, Float didn't want to kill Fark in the first place, not going through with her threats, much to Fark's confusion.

## Abilities

Float's main weapons are a pair of glowing yellow blades, summoned from the ends of her arms. She can perform a spinning slash, a forward charge, or a jump slash in her Rage form. She can also summon glowing white projectiles and bursts of energy that home in on their target.

In her Rage form, Float can summon a large red circle with a devilish smiling face. The circle will follow a target, and rapidly damage them, putting pressure to avoid both her and the circle.

True to her name, she can hover and fly around with ease.

## History

Presumably, before the events of *Spark the Electric Jester*, Float was enrolled in the military and converted into a prototype cyborg (whether forcibly or willingly isn't stated). However, she was deemed a failure, and thrown away. Float was fully conscious during this, her cybernetics keeping her body alive. She spent some time there, and Astra describes the experience as "being buried alive". Double and Flint found her body, rescuing her. Float's earliest memories are of those two, and a strange red room. She also stated that she was unable to move for some time after they found her.

Float was hired along with her group to kill Fark, and she was to intercept him at the abandoned amusement park, Castela Blanca. She and Flint share what would be their last conversation, talking about Fark and their plan of attack, Float's reason to fight, and her amnesia. They part ways, and Float soon confronts Fark in an odd, ethereal room, warped by holographic nano-machines. The two fight and Float is soon pushed into her Rage form. However, she loses the battle, and falls to the ground, dead, as the room returns to its normal state. Astra is seen sitting on a wall around the arena, congratulating Fark. As they talk, Astra says that Float may have never wanted to kill Fark in the first place. She reasons that some people may say they're going to do something, but end up not following through.

Flint later attempts to exact his revenge on Fark, after the jester killed Float, near the top of Titanic Tower. Flint failed, but escaped.

## Trivia

* Her ¨Vs Float¨ song (above) features an arrangement of "Main Theme of Spark the Electric Jester".
* Float is named after a variable in coding with the same name. Floats in coding are variables with a fractional value, and have decimal places, unlike whole number integers. Her Rage form is referred to Float.rage();, adding onto the coding references.
* Float was originally nicknamed "Mage-Chick", and her original design showcased her with pink hair and a purple visor. This design noticeably doesn't have a hat, showing "Mage-Chick" with slicked back, blue antennae.
* Her beta boss fight featured the first phase on a 2D plane, with both the player and her moving left and right. The phase against Float.rage(); put the player into the fully 3D arena present all the time in the final product. She also had different moves in the beta, such as lunging forward and swiping during the first phase or launching exploding spheres in the second phase. It works as shown in this video. The song played in this video was the "NO GAME NO LIFE" track from the anime adaption of the Japanese light novel with the same name, *No Game No Life*. It was most likely used as one of the inspiration tracks behind the final game's "Vs. Float" theme.
