In just a matter of moments, Stuart says she knew that Fukue was different from all the other girls in her class. As stated, her other classmates felt preoccupied with her Canadian descent, blonde hair, and Canadian accent. However, despite their language challenges, Fukue asked Stuart about what she liked to do and her day-to-day life.
