==Physical Appearance==
Courtney is a blue floor with two eyes and a mouth.
==Backstory==
==Backstory==
Not much is known about Courtney's backstory. What we do know comes from Rhythm Items and in-game thought bubbles.
Courtney lives next to a school. Occasionally, basketballs, ping-pong balls, soccer balls, rugby balls<ref>"となりの高校からねー、ボールがとんでくることがあるんだー。バスケットボールや、ピンポンボール、サッカーボールとかねー。ときにはラグビーボールだったりするんだー。リズムに乗ってボールがとんでくるんだよー。フシギだねー。" (From the high school next door, there are times when balls come flying in. A basketball, a ping-pong ball, a soccer ball, and so on. Sometimes it's a rugby ball. The balls come flying in with the rhythm. It's strange.) ~ [[Rhythm Item]] description for [[Fruit Basket]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+''</ref> and even fruit will come over the fence in Rhythm. Nobody seems to be there, leading him to believe that it's haunted.<ref>"Sometimes basketballs and fruit come zooming over the fence from the school next door.

===Rhythm Items===
Courtney lives next to a school. Occasionally, basketballs and fruit will come over the fence when nobody is there, leading Courtney to believe that it's haunted.
 
One day, Courtney spots a table-tennis ball. Being a street, Courtney doesn't know how to play with it. Courtney doesn't even know what a table is, and believes it's a kind of duck. 
 
===Thought Bubbles===
Courtney appears to have been a relationship or had a crush on a girl at one point; a pink, more feminine floor. Sometime between the events of [[Fruit Basket]] and [[Fruit Basket 2]], however, they either broke up, or Courtney got rejected. Courtney appears to hate spiders but like Pandas and Pugs. He likes pizza and hamburgers as well. Courtney likes sports and Tic-Tac-Toe. Not all think bubbles are in the gallery at the bottom of this page.
==Purpose==
The player controls Courtney in the two [[Fruit Basket]] games. Courtney dunks various kinds of fruit into basketball nets, including apples after three beats, lemons after five beats, and melons after one beat.


== Appearances ==
There is also a gymnasium near Courtney, where the [[Space Dancers]] play [[Rhythm Rally 2|ping-pong]]. One day, a table-tennis ball falls on the court. He wants to return it, but he can't enter the gymnasium because it's always locked<ref>"となりの体育館には、スペースダンサーズの所ぞくするピンポン部が、あるんだよー。このピンポン球、バスケットコートに落ちてたんだー。返しに行きたいんだけど、いつも体育館のカギはしまっていて、中には入れないんだよー。" (In the gymnasium next door, there is a ping-pong club that belongs to the Space Dancers. This ping-pong ball fell on the basketball court. I want to return it, but the gym is always locked and I can't go in there.) ~ [[Rhythm Item]] description for [[Fruit Basket 2]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+''</ref>. Being a street, Courtney doesn't know how to play with it. He doesn't even know what a table is, and believes it's a kind of duck.<ref>"I found this table-tennis ball the other day. I've heard of table tennis, of course, but, being a street, I can't play. I'm not even sure what a "table" is.

He wants to return it, but he can't enter the gymnasium because it's always locked[5]. Being a street, Courtney doesn't know how to play with it. He doesn't even know what a table is, and believes it's a kind of duck.[6]
