Solana

Owen is Solana's first love. Never did she expect to find someone she could love that deeply in her life, nor that she would be able to have such feelings for someone. Becoming his girlfriend and being a love couple with him was already like a dream come true, but when he proposed to her one day, she could not believe that something like this would ever happen to her. She was incredible happy already the way it was, but to marry him was like the icing on the cake.
Owen's heartwarming and calm nature is the perfect counterpart for her own personality. He manages to calm her down with only a few nice words spoken by his beautiful voice, or one sweet gesture. He also gives her the space she needs - since he knows about her suppressing past.

Solana has met Aurora and her husband, Arlo, for the first time when they visited Sandrock for vacation. They moved in Owens Saloon, where she stumbled over the couple several times. When she found out that Aurora is a builder as well, and even one of the higher ranks, AND from Portia what she heard so much about already, she was lit up to drill her with questions and wanting her to share some experience and stories. Solana's enthusiasm and excitement was a bit too much and overwhelming for the shy Aurora. But as soon as she felt a bit more comfortable around her builder-mate, she came out of her shell and answered every question Solana had.
Solana noticed very quickly that Aurora was much different than her, or like the Sandrockers in general. But she was empathetic enough to give her the time and space Aurora needed to open up.

Solana thinks that the Sandrock Civil Corps could learn a lot from Arlo and his experience as the leader of the Portian Civil Corps. He seems to be very reliable - not that the Sandrock CCs wouldn't, but it was.. different? Arlo had a very special vibe and authority. Solana always loved to see the cute interactions between Arlo and Aurora. She also appreciated that the two tried to help the Sandrockers here and there, even when they were just visitors to the town.

Aurora's and Arlo's visits in Sandrock became some kind of a thing with the years. They liked to revisit this sweet place since it was so different than Portia. So, Solana got to know their first little offspring Alex at some point. It was funny to her how every visit presented her a different stage of age.
Seeing little Alex would give her a first impression how it is to have a child, since 3 years after Alex was born, Solana would have her own little boy, Luan.

A few years after Alex was born, Solana also got to know his little brother Ace. At this point, her own firstborn Luan came to this world as well. It was exciting for her to see how her own child did befriend the two Portia kids very quickly in the following years. Auroras boys became very dear to her.

Solana has learned 'in her old life' how to act polite and lady-like. So she is capable to stand Coopers endless anecdotes, she is actually even able to enjoy them - when she has the time to fully listen to them. If she is in a hurry, her charisma always helps her to end the conversation in a very polite way.

With time, Cooper even became somewhat of a father figure to her. Even though he is kinda rough and redneck-ish at times, she knows she can always come to him and his wife Mabel when she needs anything, be it help, advice or a warm meal. Coopers Family will later learn to love Solana's children like their own.

Penny is a traveling musician from Barnarock who visited Sandrock. Solana helped her to build a new, robust guitar. Solana liked Penny, especially since she had a sense of music! She had a lot of fun to hang out with her and sing to the music she played with the guitar. Solana was indeed a little upset when Penny wanted to move on and continue to visit an old friend in Portia - she did not know in that moment that they both shared a friend over there: Aurora!

Mi-an was the other builder that arrived in Sandrock and was supposed to take over the role of the previous resident builder, Mason. When Solana made her first step in Sandrock, she was greeted by Mi-an on the train station.
Solana is always a little annoyed about Mi-an's extremely positive and enthusiastic personality. Solana came that far, she does not need someone to "take her hand and guide her". Still though, Mi-an already had a builder-background in her family, while Solana was somewhat of a 'newbie' in this genre. She kind of felt like a threat to Solana, even though Mi-an always just had good intentions and wanted to work with her together and not against her. Admittedly, as much as she annoyed her, Mi-an also kind of motivated Solana to reach new highs and explore her builder skills.
Solana did not notice though, that Mi-an developed romantic feelings for her with time. The fact that Solana married and loves Owen, did not terminate these feelings..

Solana had a lot contact to Venti since she visited the scrapyard a lot to gather materials. But for Solana, Venti was always just a friend, a nice company. As Solana had to realize quickly, she could not escape her past and with that, becoming an unwanted love interest for others. When Venti revealed her feelings to her, Solana rejected her as gentle as possible. Still though, Solana felt terrible after. She thought she would never need to do that anymore.

After that, the two managed to be "just friends", even though there was this awkward feeling for a long time after. But Venti came over it and was even happy for Solana when she found her happiness with Owen.

Solana had build up a good connection and friendship to Heidi and always appreciates her help and offers at the Construction Junction. But yet again Solana was not aware of the big impact that her presence and Aura radiates. Solana also had to break Heidis heart when she revealed her feelings to her. It did hurt Solana a lot as well, she did not want to make anyone unhappy with rejecting them. But if she knew one thing, then that honesty is most important in any situation, even if it hurts.

The two stayed friends after, but Heidi started to avoid her for a little while after this - which was pretty difficult since Solana as a builder needed her help every now and then. The two managed to start over again - as friends, and later even good friends.
