Define fish out of water in your own words

To me, It someone who you can notice in a coward or a person out of place, say you see a really well dressed guy in a crowd of people who isnt wealthy in any way

In fallout 4, Your character was described as a fish out of water, you look clean, as if you never messed with the wasteland your in, and you were kinda wearing a vault suit

at the beginning of the story, elisa just has the small idea of wanting more attention, but as the story progressed, her desire for more attention grew larger. before she talked to the man with the wagon she was just focused on her chrysanthemums but when she talked to him and got some attention she enjoyed it, so she decided to get all dolled up for henry. but when they were on the way to dinner she was so upset because she saw the flowers on the side of the road and realized the man didn't take interest in her like she thought.
