Garland Soley's Links
His dearest friend. They grew up together, and were inseparable before they enrolled at Garreg Mach. Phyllon's father keeps trying to pry them apart but Garland refuses to let that happen. He has no right, being absent his whole life, and then acting like he can control every little thing he does...?! That's HIS best friend.
Garland is his dearest most precious friend. They grew up together, they’ve been glued at the hip for as long as he can remember in the small chilly mountain village. Of course if one goes to Garreg Mach they BOTH go to Garreg Mach. What he hadn’t expected was the reemergence of his father in his life… along with a horrid secret. He wants to maintain his precious connection with the one he so dearly calls “Parsnip” but as things progress at Garreg Mach he unintentionally finds himself pushing Garland further and further away, hurting him in the process. Is this secret and his father worth more than his relationship with his best friend?
Jojee! He's grown fond of him. At first he thought he was a little strangeee...? But his presence is calming and he definitely thinks the church role suits him. He's kinder than most.
Garland! He’s obsessed with his pegasus. The beautiful dear. Why is it so perfect so wonderful? Probably takes after Garland! He finds himself wandering to the stables to accompany Garland and just chats away mornings with him as they brush hair and laugh. It’s calming and serene and they find themselves drifting off to conversations about some irritable Black Eagles boys.
The prince...? He actually met him on their first day, having no idea who he was, and hit it off very well with him. He even tried to drag Phyllon along to make friends, but his friend must have had better perception than he when he was immediately startled at the sight of Gawain. Garland still laughs about it, but a couple years later after the revelation of his father's participation in the Duscur genocide, his laughter is a lot more hollow and humorless. He pities Gawain, for having to represent that situation... and detests the noble families of the Kingdom of Faerghus even more, disagreeing with Gawain's stance on them.
Gawain’s respect and admiration for Garland is unmatched. His unwavering determination and headstrong beliefs of what’s right and wrong is something he as a leader strives to mimic. Meeting him for the first time was a delight and he was fascinated with his life in the mountains and his beautiful pegasus. It’s scared of him but someday, surely, with enough sugar cubes PERHAPS it will be convinced. He wants to be a good leader and gaining Garland’s respect and support feels crucial to his success as future King. After the Duscar genocide and the death of his parents he feels himself begin to spiral. His kingdom feels divided… and the looks of disgust from Garland nearly makes him tear his skin off in shame at his failures.
That's his friend, Daphne. She's really nice, and likes to offer her food and help to others around her whenever they need it. Honestly, if she weren't so dedicated to strategy and excelling academically, she'd be right at home with those who work in the monastery. Though, she can be slightly... erm... offensive at times? It's borderline condescending, but he thinks she means well. His accent isn't babyish... nor cute, quit trying to correct him... everyone relatively likes her, but he's seen a few people make weird faces at her behavior.
Awwww~ Look at how petite his pegasus is! Clove is very cute! Parsnip, can she call you that~? He's definitely got a very different ideology when it comes to pegasus riding... while she was raised in a very formal and respectable home, this boy is as 'small town' as it gets. She loves it! The way he speaks is so funny!
