Shan [Redacted]'s Links
Shan likes to amuse the conspiracy theorist, Having him on her tattoo table was quite a memorable experience. They enjoy catching up every once in a while for casual talk.
For Dustin, he’s not the ‘super at making friends’ type, often getting pulled into being friends than actively making them. This happened once more with him and Shan, a resident tattoo artist. A comment about ‘being able to ramble’ during the session led to showing off his theories, barely even focusing on the pain of the tattoo. He occasionally sends pictures and texts to Shan, often receiving replies in kind.
Shan's feelings towards Cyrus are many, he is a friend, has been for a while.. but also this heathen has been dating her father figure, they kiss and do gross things. Disgusting!
Shan is a odd case in general, truth to be told, he feels a bit of pity on what her life once was. As a friend, he simply wishes to support her, even if someone she exagerates things a bit too much. They hang out as any friend would.
They found each other in weird cirunstances, the cat enjoys doing taxidermy and Wiz is one that loves to observe the process being done. They exchange parts when necessary and all in all, they are unexpected friends. The things you fish out of the ocean sometimes truly are strange.
Wiz really likes Shan! Shan has cool colours on their skin, just like Wiz, and they both smell like iron!!! Wiz really likes all the gifts Shan gives them, and they always come to good use in conjunction with Ger'Ar's gifts, so in turn Wiz keeps her mouth shut and brings Shan random gadgets found in the ground underwater!
One of Shan's adult figures back in the street days, they try to keep in touch with her even though sometimes they find it rather difficult. Out of all the people the cat would mug, Willow wouldnt be one of them.
Willow only met Shan briefly while teaching a STEM outreach program for lower class Alpheans, where she shows off her specialty and helps the younger Alpheans through various science experiments. Willow kept in sporadic but constant touch with Shan over the years, if only she knew what Shan used her teachings for....
Street children know each other very well, Victor is one of these. The chef taught her how to survived out there, pickpocket, cook, between other things. The tattoo artist really cherishes him and tries her best to keep their friendship in the best shape possible.
Victor and Shan were childhood friends that grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Shan taught Victor how to use a knife and Victor used those skills to run petty jobs. Victor and Shan lost contact when Victor went on to free college, but they've recently gotten back in touch.
A handy mechanic, always helps fixing her spine. Dani is one of the first long timed friends the cat managed to form. They tend to speak about her as if this sort of sister they never had.
When Dani met Shan, they didn't expected to have to repair and upgrade an mechanical spine. But they did it succesfully, with Shan every now and then coming to her place so Dani can check that everything is in place.
Juan Ayala was the man that was able to crack the case that fully freed her, because of this, Shan ended up homeless and in search of something they could call a homeof sorts. Sometimes when the streets were too cold, they showed up at the dome. Juan couldn't turn them down. With this they formed a sort of familial bond that still lingers, so Shan helps at the farm when available.
Being a investigator in the Ib sometimes leads to seeing casualties. Shan was one of those. The poor thing has gone through so much and Ayala has attempted his best to aid in a mindful distance. Nowadays Shan has finally put their feet on the ground and made a live for themselves, thankfully this has lead to a more casual familial bond between them. The cat sometimes helps at his farm, he knows it calms them down, so he always welcomes them with a smile.
The giant robot that Ayala holds dear, Shan's view of Mariana is rather complex, but they never acted hostile towards her, so she gave back the same kind of treatment. She swears she can sometimes feel her presence in the farm.
Mariana has appeared in Shan's life very sporadically, as its her presence within the Ayala farm. Even though Shan regards her as this sort of friendly creature, the robot still feels like they cannot approach them, it would hurt them.
Very close friends and gossip buddies, the tattoo artist tries her best to keep in touch with the metalhead. Long and tiring days of work truly pay off when Hiroto is on the phone rambling about whatever obsession they decided to latch into. One day Shan wishes to finally be able to put some ink on him.
Hiroto always has a blast talking to Shan. Whether on the phone or in person, it always seems like they have something to talk about... Or rather, Hiro does. There's a comfortability between the two that he has a hard time finding elsewhere, one where he can ramble on as much as he likes and he never feels as though he's bothering the tattoo artist. It's entirely possible that their similar pasts, or what they remember of them, bring that comfort. For Hiro, at least, he finds solace in the fact that there's someone else that kind of gets it.
A symbolic sibling of sorts due to their relation to Ayala, Shan likes to mess with the shark when she can, simply because it is fun see him react so much. But don't get her wrong, only SHE can mess with him like that, everyone else gets the knife.
Meeting Shan was certainly one of those surprises Rotui couldn't exactly expect. With his relationship to Ayala, it was certainly.. coming to him for someone to notice the fights. Their first encounter was her 'attempts' to defend her father. And through- an odd conversation, the two quickly formed a strange sibling-like bond. They tussle, they squabble, but most importantly, they snooze together.
