Floyd says that, every year, he and Jade are always the first to wish one another happy birthday.

During the Stitch event Floyd explains that he doesn’t really regret that Jade isn’t there with them, as it’s more fun for them to do separate things and then tell each other about it later on.

He also says that they would probably not get along as well as they do if they were always together, and they used to argue and get into physical fights all the time. Floyd says they don’t get into fights as often anymore as they know there is a chance that they might kill each other if they get serious.

During Beanfest Floyd explains that “siblings don’t constantly hang out with each other just ‘cause they’re related” and “I’m not gonna hang out with Jade when it’d bore me to tears.”

This is an interesting contrast to how both twins have lines about how they wish they were in the same class, with Jade saying that Floyd will visit him sometimes and “he’s more tender than he seems.”

Floyd also visits Jade during Port Fest, and during the Playfulland event we see him slide off the screen in order to stand next to Jade.

Jade says, “If Azul and I specialize in gentlemanly man-to-man combat, you specialize in…guerrilla warfare,” assuring Floyd that he means it as a compliment.

Floyd says he cannot believe how Jade memorizes Azul’s contracts and there is no way he could be that indirect.

Floyd is wholly uninterested in participating in Beanfest despite Jade saying how happy he is that they are on the same team and how he had hoped they could play tag together like they did as children.

Privately Floyd reflects that it just isn’t fun when there’s no challenge, since he and Jade “could squeeze most people in the game” with the no-magic rule in place if they teamed up.

Later on, however, Floyd recommends that his group go out of its way to try and take down Lilia, as he knows that Jade is working to get the harp and he doesn’t want anyone standing in Jade’s way. Silver comments that he is a very caring brother and Floyd explains, “Jade’s got his way of havin’ fun, and I’ve got mine. I don’t want either of us gettin’ our fun ruined. It’s that simple.”

During Harveston Jade tries to memorize how to make a certain dessert that looks like takoyaki (Floyd’s favorite food) by watching a local vendor so that he can try making it for Floyd, and Epel offers to give him the recipe directly.

Jade says, “I like it best when Floyd’s in his element, enjoying things as they come,” and that they have very different tastes: their parents ask them what they want for their birthdays every year, and thus far their requests have never overlapped.

Jade will “reprimand” Floyd without apparently meaning to hold him back at all, which he does multiple times in the main story and various events and vignettes.

When Jade does give him a serious command it is not unusual to see Floyd obey, but he sometimes will not.

Floyd takes a moray mascot keychain with him to the first Vargas Camp, saying that he brought it with him as a stand-in for Jade, who wanted to go, too.

When Jade goes to Vargas Camp 2, he brings with him a similar key chain of his own.

It seems it is not unusual for Floyd to borrow Jade’s clothes: Floyd mentions using Jade’s scarf for his dorm uniform and Jade’s labcoat for class.

Jade comes closer to seducing Eliza during the Phantom Bride event than possibly any other suitor, but his efforts are sabotaged by Floyd pointing out that the flower Jade offers her is poisonous.

Jade does not try to backtrack, explaining that he has given her a highly toxic flower that would cause a person’s hand to break out if they so much as touched it, “but it doesn’t seem to have an effect on ghosts. I’ve learned something new today.”

Eliza slaps Jade for the offense and Jack blames Floyd for the failure. Floyd says, “I just didn’t like the idea of him sititn’ pretty while I’m stuck in slapsville.”

Twitter user kanna_tkrb points out that Eliza’s refusals of her suitors are the same throughout Phantom Bride (in the original game), with the exception of Jade and Floyd.

Eliza calls Floyd 論外, which is close to “completely out of the question,” and Jade “物騒” which is close to “risky/unsettling.”

Floyd expresses concern for Jade not eating properly in two events, once in Beanfest and once during Halloween, where he encourages Jade to sit down and rest while Floyd fetches him food. Jade explains that his “fuel efficiency is lacking” (low blood pressure?).

Jade is Floyd’s judge for Culinary Crucible.

Floyd adds a wide variety of ingredients that were not in the original recipe and, according to the chef ghost, doubles the size of the dish.

Jade eats the entire meal without issue, to the chef’s surprise.

Jade’s appetite seems to rival that of Sebek: the two eat enough food for five people (“and they’re still goin’!”) at a marketplace in Harveston, and then they go back for dessert.

Jade is very fond of mushrooms. Azul and Floyd are not.

Jade says that they both make a point of not eating anything he cooks for two weeks after he has been trekking in the mountains.

Floyd hates mushrooms, and in a Master Chef line he explains that he only came to dislike them after Jade started putting shiitake into every single thing he made. As a result, just looking at them makes him angry.

When Jade brings home a fresh batch of mushrooms from the mountains in a vignette Floyd insists that he get rid of them, but Jade does not want to merely toss them out and decides to donate them to the cafeteria, saying, “I just love them so much I could eat them all!”

The cafeteria incorporates them into a risotto. Both Floyd and Azul announce they will be avoiding it.

Floyd goes out of his way to make sure that Grim and the prefect do not try to bring back any mushrooms during Vargas Camp, and when Riddle visits Jade’s “Mountain Lovers Club” exhibition during Book 5 he tries to give away one of Jade’s “mystery mushrooms” to Riddle. Jade does not approve.

Jade utilizes the school’s botanical gardens to cultivate mushrooms, including a valuable “icicle mushroom” and wood ear mushrooms.

Jade also experiments with exposing mushrooms to electrical currents to encourage their growth and briefly supplied them to Mostro Lounge for free, but Azul becomes sick of them after the lounge’s menu becomes “mushroom mania” for two weeks, saying, “I cannot allow you to bore Mostro Lounge’s patrons with endless repetition.”

Jade’s ghost chef mentor leaves him to his own devices during the Culinary Crucible when Lilia’s cooking starts spewing purple smoke, and Jade sneaks in mushrooms that he picked in the mountains into his dish that paralyze Rook’s and the ghost chef’s tongues when they eat them.

Jade explains, “Whenever I find rare mushrooms or wild plants in the wilderness, I always make sure to bring some back with me. But eating them by myself would be an insult to these rare and precious ingredients.”

The Chef says, “You’re such a good cook, and so well-behaved. I thought you’d be a nice, reliable student to have in the kitchen…but no, you need to be watched like a hawk—even more so than the others!…What’s with you people?! You must cease with these arbitrary alterations!”

Jade is delighted to discover a certain soup in Harveston, saying it is one of the main reasons that he went on the trip at all.

Epel explains, “It’s a soup made from a real rare variety of mushroom…it’s one of our traditional foods, but it’s a real finicky ingredient—only experts can cook with it at all.” Idia comments, “So basically, it’s jank,” and Jade says, “I’ve always wanted to try a soup with this mushroom. This is a dream come true…”

Jade says “Floyd caused a bit of a stir at our orientation,” and during Beanfest we learn why: Floyd explains that Riddle used magic to blast him through the air at their orientation. “All I did was razz him a little, and he just SNAPPED…next thing I knew, there I was, laid out on the floor. Jade burst out laughing when he saw me.”

Our introduction to Floyd during the main story involves him being excited to see Riddle, which is a common theme.

It is not unusual for Floyd to tease Riddle about his height, and Riddle delights in the moment when Floyd is slapped by Eliza (“Let that be a lesson. It is folly to pick bridal candidates solely based on height!”)

After the events of Phantom Bride Floyd encourages Riddle to punch him a little as seeing everyone fight “got (him) in the mood to throw down”, but Riddle replies, “This is not the time nor the place!”

Floyd teases Riddle during Beanfest and says that if any monsters try to attack him then he will scare them off, but that is not what ends up happening: when the group is ambushed by Lilia, Jamil and others Floyd insists that they leave Riddle behind to keep the opposing team busy while the rest of them escape.

Floyd teases Riddle about not eating properly during the Halloween party (it is hinted that Riddle may have issues with food, similar to Azul), insisting that he eat dessert.

It is not uncommon for Floyd to express concern over people not eating properly, which he also does for Jade and Azul.

Floyd says that if the dark mirror had selected him for Heartslabyul, there’s a chance he would have “squeezed” Riddle and taken over the position of Housewarden. (Deuce says “Please don’t underestimate our boss.”)

Floyd seems to become disheartened when Riddle shuts him down: in a vignette where he grabs a book that Riddle needs from its shelf (where he intentionally put it too high up for Riddle to reach) he runs away with it, encouraging Riddle to chase him. Riddle refuses, saying, “What have I done to deserve this mistreatment?” and Floyd’s mood immediately crashes: he passes the book to Riddle and leaves. Riddle reflects, “I can’t tell if I upset him or if that was yet another of his mood swings.”

Jade asks if Riddle doesn’t actually miss it when Floyd isn’t in the mood to tease him and Riddle responds, “Certainly not. I rather like not being under constant attack.”

It is possible that there are times when Floyd intentionally makes Riddle angry for his benefit, such as when he teases a shivering Riddle during Vargas Camp (“Glad you warmed up”) and a disheartened Riddle who does not want to go home to his mother at the start of winter break (Trey: “Well, at least he’s got his moxie back.”)

Floyd and Riddle may have more in common than Riddle would prefer to admit, though Floyd seems aware of it: Vil refers to them as “our pair of live wires,” and they both try to dive into the dark mirror during Spectral Soiree to go in search of the kidnapped students.

They also both express frustration with the fine print of the invitation that explains the dress code required in order to pass through, and when the kidnapped students are discovered to not be in costume they both call them out for it, with Leona observing, “You guys are still mad about the Dark Mirror givin’ you the boot, huh?”

Floyd and Jade are first described as having the exact same face and being giants that “make all the other students look tiny in comparison.”

(Floyd is the third-tallest student on the main cast, after Malleus and Jack, 1cm taller than Jade.)

Jade, Floyd and Azul also seem to have “a certain sheen” to their skin, even when in human form, with Vil describing Floyd’s skin as perfect for applying makeup.

Floyd says that he doesn’t usually wear makeup (“Seems like a huge pain”) and guesses that it’s because he grew up in the Coral Sea, “so that stuff was always just a huge pain for us…no, wait. Azul puts on makeup every time he wears his dorm uniform, even though HE grew up in the sea. Huh.”

Kalim seems as fond of the twins as he is of everyone, saying that he and Floyd are like two peas in a pod. (Floyd: “Uhh…are we?”)

Floyd says that Kalim is too nice, to the point that “it’s kinda grating."

Kalim gifts Floyd and Jade with instruments on their birthday (a drum set for Floyd, a stringed instrument for Jade), that are described as being similar to what can be see on the Tokyo Disney Sea attraction “Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage” (it is possible that Kalim was partially based on Disney’s Sinbad).

When Kalim attempts to be frightening during Halloween, Jade describes his werewolf roar as “something you’d hear in a petting zoo.”

When Kalim compliments Jade on his potion-making skills and asks to be taught, Jade responds, "Certainly. I'll invite Azul and Floyd as well."

Floyd says he has always been a fan of things like obstacle races, like picking a goal and swimming on a set route through a sunken ship.

Floyd explains that is probably why he likes parkour now, since it’s like swimming on land and doesn’t have constricting rules, which he doesn’t like. He mentions that he once parkour’d into class through a window in order to not be late and the professor was not happy.

Floyd keeps a stockpile of candy in his room (“Everyone gets snacky before bed, right?”) and says that his favorites will change day to day. “A while back, it was peppermint candy. A week ago I was into melon soda-flavored gummies. And yesterday I had some almond biscotti. I tent to go for textures over flavors. Oh, and I like stuff you can only eat on land.”

Jade says that he is often told he has a 6th sense when it comes to other people's needs and he gets lonely without company.

Jade is the founder and sole member of the Mountain Lovers Club.

He explains that hiking is not the club’s primary activity (“I’m not all that interested in exercising”).

He goes on leisurely walks through the mountains around the school.

He says the main goal of the club is “to appreciate the mountains’ bounty, while also enjoying its edible plants and mushrooms,” but he is reluctant to describe it as a photography, science or cooking club.

Jade says that one of the club’s most enjoyable activities is foraging for wild plants and mushrooms, but he finds himself wishing he had better techniques and recipes to make the most of what he gathers, which is why he participates in the Culinary Crucible.

In a vignette we learn that Jade goes to the school’s ghost chefs to learn new recipes outside of the Culinary Crucible as well: Ruggie incorporates some of his wild vegetables in a soup for Leona, believing they belonged to the school.

In order to compensate Jade for the stolen ingredients Ruggie teaches him three recipes with which Jade is very pleased, asking Ruggie to teach him a few more (Ruggie: “Lesson two’s gonna cost you.”)

The Mountain Lovers Club also has a photography section as a part of the club’s exhibition for the culture fair, with Jade explaining that while he is sure that it must look mundane to land-dwellers, as a sea-dweller he finds it all fascinating. (In Floyd’s opinion Jade picks the most boring subjects for his photography. Jade reflects, “Maybe that’s why I’m the only member of the club.”)

Despite admitting that he enjoys the mundane as someone who was not born on land, Jade says that while he has heard of wayward merfolk becoming obsessed with the surface, he can’t say that he understands why.

The Mountain Lovers Club counts as an arts club, which means (to Floyd’s annoyance) that Jade did not have to participate in helping to set up stages for the school’s culture fair.

During Vargas Camp, however, Floyd says that Jade “whined nonstop about how the Mountain Lovers Club should totally count as a sports club.”

When asked where he would go if he was able to travel anywhere he wanted by broom, Jade says he would like to visit famous mountains and view places that people are not allowed to hike to on foot to from above.

He says he would like to spend an entire day appreciating the beauty of the scenery through different weather and different times of day, taking photos and sketching.

As a part of his Mountain Lovers Club activities Jade says that he has started doing field sketches and he once became so focused on sketching during a class that everyone left the laboratory without his noticing.

While Jade’s parents seem to encourage his interest in mountains (they gift him with a hiking backpack that he’d asked for on his birthday) Floyd and Azul do not, with Floyd complaining that Jade smells earthy all the time and Azul commiserating with “It can’t be easy having a brother in that weirdo Mountain Lovers Club.”

Jade volunteers to go to Epel’s hometown of Harveston after eavesdropping on his conversation about a sledathon, explaining that he wishes to see the “mystical beauty” that is a local mountain.

Even Epel says that Jade is a mountain expert, and he is able to effortlessly identify plants he sees at a market and list off their scientific names. (Idia: “He’s so obsessed it’s cringey.”)

Jade suggests naming their sled team “the Mountain Lovers Sled Team,” but he is outvoted.

Jade seems comfortable with helping run Mostro Lounge, saying he has some “connections” of his own that he declines to elaborate on.

Floyd also seems to have a sense for business: When he asks Azul to pay for drinks that they are to test for the lounge Azul responds, “Why does your business sense only kick in at times like these?”

Deuce invites Floyd to go on a blastcycle ride with him by giving him a “coupon” for a ride for his birthday.Floyd asks if he is truly thought his offer through, pointing out that the coupon has no expiration date, does not say how many times it can be used for or how many people he is or isn’t allowed to invite.

Deuce admits that it hadn’t occurred to him that he should add conditions, but he will take Floyd out even two or three times as he hopes that Floyd will come to enjoy blastcycles as much as he does.

We also see Floyd commenting on the poor presentation of Jamil’s food (“Makin’ stuff look appealin’ is how you get people hungry, even when they don’t wanna eat”) and do a lot of trading in a vignette.

Despite his apparent familiarity with running a business he says that he doesn’t care about money, turning down an offer of a hundred thousand thaumarks from Sam for an object he didn’t actually want and saying he is uninterested in bonuses from Azul.

Jade also has a line explaining his disinterest in money, saying, “I think people operate under some misconception of me. To be clear, I have no interest in making money. I simply do what’s most entertaining to me.”

Jade refers to all 2nd- and 3rd-year students by their first names with the “-san” honorific.

Jade and Azul have similar speech patterns, but Jade refers to 1st-year students with the “-kun” honorific (except the prefect and Grim, who are “-san”), while Azul refers to everyone with “-san.” (They both have the same exceptions: each other and Floyd. Jade and Azul are also Floyd's only exceptions.)

Floyd's honorifics vary from "-senpai" to "-chan" to "-kun" and are combined with his own, unique, sealife-based nicknaming system. More here:
