Ashanti Neyret's Links
Ashanti's favorite drinking partner. There was a bit where she lost touch with Ora, due to matters on Ashanti's end, but thankfully was able to re-connect with her and they still hang out and drink when Ashanti/Ora both have the time <3
Omen is someone she respect greatly. Having met him at a convention for tattooing, she ended up connecting with him and they just hit it off. Afterwords she kept in touch, and they met often, eventually developing into a deeper relationship, that ended up with Ashanti considering him one of her very close friends she can tell anything to. After she was blinded she lost touch, but when her daughter ran away and found her way into Omen's shop, they reconnected and she hasn't left his side (figuratively) since. He is one of the only others besides Kerub she would let down all defenses for.
One of her oldest friends besides what she considers her family, Kerub means the world to Ashanti. She was the reason the wild bamharr tried to shape up her life some, because she wanted to impress and be someone Kerub would look at. When the Klub opened up, Ashanti was one of the very first to be employed there, happily settling in as the tattoo artist and piercer. Even after her blinding incident, Ashanti is still close friends with the party queen. Deep down part of her is still in love with Kerub, just as much as she was back when she first joined the klub. They flirted often in the past but never truly fell into bed together, and part of Ashanti regrets that now, thinking her chance at being with Kerub is gone. However she is happy either way, and still adores the heck out of her first true friend.
Ashanti is the older sister but Auniket always acted like it was the reverse. She is very protective of Ashanti and willing to fight anyone that tries to hurt her. Auniket has always done what she could to give Ashanti the life she deserves, working from behind the scenes to support her and help her grow, and taking her place when she went missing so all her work wasn't lost.
Ashanti adores her mother. Loves her. There is no doubt about that. While she doesn't blame Anara for what happened to her, she's not sure how to reconnect with the woman. They do spend time together but Ashanti has just grown so independent it is hard to depend on Anara. None the less she at least lets the woman love and show this love for her, as a mother and matriarch should.
Her oldest daughter and someone she feels both supreme pride and guilt towards. Afterall, it was Anara's fault that Ashanti ended up getting kidnapped and blinded. She made up for it by showing Ashanti how to control her crystal form, but still holds that guilt. Ashanti is so independent, having grown up largely without Anara's presence in her life and taking care of her sister, so Anara does her best to respect that.
Ashanti knows of her. Has seen her a couple of times. Mainly she was among the few that found Ashanti the second time around. She can't really say much personally about her...but Anara and Auni seem to adore her so she doesn't mind her all that much.
While Andrea is fiercely protective of the twins, she is well aware of Ashanti's fierce independent streak. Unlike Auniket, Andrea can't talk her way around Ashanti and they both know it. So she simply kept her distance but watched over Ashanti until it is needed for her to step in.
