Mythio's Links
Having been raised together, Mythio and 'Tatters' consider each other to be identical twins, and are both very confused when anyone points out that they don't look anything alike. The two also firmly believe they are Giants, despite all evidence to the contrary, and have no concept of their separate heritages.
Mythio is easily frustrated by his sister, finding her anxious nature to be annoying and unfitting for a warrior of Elbaf. He quickly dismisses her concerns, even when they're incredibly reasonable, in favour of doing what he wants. This leads to the siblings quarreling often.
Despite this however, he loves Tattle dearly. He would never admit to admiring her strength, envious that it came more naturally to her than him, but has every confidence that she can handle herself.
Having been raised together, Tattle and 'Miffy' consider each other to be identical twins, and are both very confused when anyone points out that they don't look anything alike. The two also firmly believe they are Giants, despite all evidence to the contrary, and have no concept of their separate heritages.
Tattle is overprotective of her brother, having grown up seeing him struggle and work hard to keep up with her and those around them, and babies him somewhat as a result. The more reponsible of the pair, she grows easily frustrated with his thrill-seeking whims and criticises him for being stubborn, particularly regarding their return to Elbaf.
Although they argue a lot, the twins love each other dearly. Tattle admires how hard Mythio works and is proud of how strong he has become, but simply cannot help but fret over him and worry when he's in danger, causing him continuing irritation.
Mythio and Ryuuda's equal levels of ego and bravado often clash, sparking a friendly rivalry between the two men, each eager to outdo the other in any manner of competition they come across. Although their tempers get the better of them sometimes, their rivalry is good-natured, and they have an unspoken respect for one another, enjoying a good laugh together when all is said and done.
Mythio genuinely believes himself to be Ryuuda's superior in most respects, but remains loyal to him as captain out of a sense of honour. He considers the obedience of this heirarchy to be completely separate from their personal competitions.
Ryuuda at first believed Mythio to be an arrogant little loudmouth, before seeing his impressive feats of strength firsthand and growing jealous. Desperate to save face in front of his crew, he began challenging the young man to all manner of contests, hoping to outdo him and put Mythio in his place. He quickly lost sight of this goal however as he began to have fun competing, and the two formed a friendship and rivalry.
Impressed with his strength, Ryuuda eventually invited Mythio aboard his crew, in hopes of continuing their competition until he had proven himself the victor. Easily frustrated by his losses to the younger man, Ryuuda takes advantage of Mythio's loyal obedience and childishly assigns him seemingly impossible and pointless tasks, only to grow more frustrated when Mythio accomplishes them with aplomb anyway.
Though respectful of the chain of command, Mythio's confidence in his own strength sees him take a much more casual attitude with the ghoul than most of the crew have the courage to. He often tries to make small talk and joke around with Jinks, never hesitating to approach them and try to get them to lighten up and have some fun with him, to little success.
Though he aims to follow his superior's orders without question, his reckless nature often sees him take it upon himself to reinterpret the commands and improvise, earning their ire. He finds it bothersome to be scolded for things that achieve the desired result, so what if he didn't follow the instructions!?
Jinks respects the immense strength that Mythio brings to the crew, but is adamant that the youth has a lot to learn about responsibility and being part of a team. Although he obeys their orders on paper, he is prone to reckless improvisation that endangers his comrades, behaviour that Jinks is keen to discourage.
Despite their continued scolding of Mythio, he remains notably friendly towards Jinks, refreshingly unafraid of their ghoulish nature, which they quietly appreciate. Regardless of this gratitude, his continuous interruptions of their peaceful solitude prove to be a source of irritation. Although they can understand his intentions are good-hearted, it's frustrating that the boy simply can't take the hint when Jinks wants to be left alone.
Having little concept of nobility, raised outside the eye of Elbaf's monarchy, Mythio treats Fonia as he would any other woman; not particularly respectfully! Finding her attractive, he continuously flirts and flaunts his strength in efforts to woo her, commenting that he finds her arrogant nature 'adorable'. He is not especially interested in a full-on relationship, but would certainly not mind making her his woman for a night or two.
Fonia quietly considers Mythio absurdly handsome, for a peasant. Despite her own arrogance, she ironically finds his smug personality grating and unpleasant, so she refuses to admit her physical attraction to him and continuously reiterates that her heart belongs only to Prince, unprompted. Thus, she rejects his continuous advances, barking back that he's a 'disgusting barbarian', despite entertaining the thought in her imagination more often than she'd ever admit.
Mythio, with his abundant strength and resilience, considers Ramsbane to be an overly cautious worrywart, casually dismissing his doctor's orders in spite of his usual obedience of his superiors. Disrespectfully referring to him exclusively as 'old man', the two often argue regarding Mythio's behaviour, with Ramsbane criticising him for putting himself in dangers that Mythio himself simply doesn't consider dangerous.
Privately, some of Mythio's inability to get along with the doctor stems from his mother's condition and Elbaf's own doctors' inability to identify and treat her disease. His lack of respect for Ramsbane, who he doesn't consider to have proven himself any better, gives him an outlet for his frustrations with the failings of doctors as a whole.
Ramsbane isn't interested in Mythio's strength and accomplishments, simply seeing him as a reckless, bratty child. As a doctor, he feels obligated to scold the young man for the danger her puts himself into. More frustrating however is that his words are wasted on him, as Mythio's strength gives him the resilience to avoid injuries and survive ill-advised scrapes that should by all means leave him dead.
Although one might expect him to get easily jealous of Mythio's skirt-chasing successes, Ramsbane actually simply scoffs, dismissing him and his companions as foolishly excitable children... that is unless Mythio is able to successfully woo someone who's Ramsbane's type, then he fully incurs his fiery disdain.
With his tendency to leap headfirst into excitement, Mythio is very dismissive of Peacock in her role of Intel Officer. His fuck-around-and-find-out attitude means he frequently ignores the information she's striving to relay to the crew, often to his own detriment. When scolded, he can only pout and yet continue to repeat the same mistake the next time.
Adding to his disrespect, his typical womanising is a factor of their dynamic as well. Rather than admiring her intellect as his crewmates do, Mythio instead chooses to focus his praise on her body, frquently complimenting her figure and casually offering intimacy. He continues despite her rejections, his arrogance making him oblivious to just how much his attitude irks her.
He does genuinely respect her combat strength however, taking interest in her full-speed ahead fighting style. He has even taken some inspiration from her techniques when improvising in combat, although his wild attacks show a very flawed understanding when compared to Peacock's precision.
While Peacock thinks Mythio is an impressive young man in one regard, in awe of the strength he brings to the crew, she is endlessly vexed by his recklessness. She finds it difficult to efficiently relay information to the crew in times of danger when the helmsman has already leapt headfirst into it. Her frustrated efforts to reign him in long enough to listen have always proven fruitless.
As such, she finds Mythio irksome, with this sentiment carrying over to their personal relationship. Peacock finds herself much more exasperated by his immaturity than Ryuuda's, as he, unlike the captain, has done little to earn her respect outside of his admittedly impressive combat prowess.
He earns further scorn from Peacock via his attitude towards women. He is immune to her usual lovey-dovey fantasies, as she has frequently seen him take advantage of girls he clearly has no romantic interest in, and even break some hearts. As such, she contemptuously considers him 'the enemy of romance'. For her part, sternly rejects his flirtatious advances towards her and finds the very idea of being attracted to him downright repulsive.
