'Checkmate ' Blanc's Links
From the moment the pair met, Blanc has looked up to Noir and felt safe for the first time in her life. She knows for certain that Noir would kill her father for her if he ever tried to take her back to his crew, but she does wish Noir would share her own demons back. She can't hold it against her captain however, and she's patient, hoping one day Noir will finally be ready to tell her.
Blanc is Noir's First Mate, and first real friend. Noir see's Blanc as an younger sister that she has to protect, especially after hearing about Blanc's father being an infamous tyrant that might one day track her down. Despite all the years they've been joined at the hip, Noir kept a wall between them regarding her own past, but despite this the two get along well, and Noir knows if anything ever happened to her, that Blanc would take care of their crew.
Meifeng originally got on Blanc's nerves, and she found her flirtatious shenanigans annoying, not really taking them seriously. However, she grows fond of Meifeng, not able to resist the other woman's infectious energy, and can't begrudge that if things go wrong, Meifeng is quick to strike down danger. She may roll her eyes, but if Meifeng ever acts anything than her cheerful chaotic self, she gets worried. Initially she was wary, as she didn't think Meifeng's flirting was anything serious, feeling insecure since she knows Meifeng has been with alot of people, but once they do have a serious conversation, she feels more confident and assured that Meifeng is serious about her.
Meifeng loves to rile Blanc up, as she's eager for her attention. She was the first out of the two to realise she wanted to be committed, which surprised herself initially as she'd always flitted from one fling to the next. She does take the feelings seriously, though she forgets to tell Blanc for ages that she wants to be with her, just ramping up the flirting. Blanc is the restraint to her impulse, and Meifeng is obsessed with her. She knows Blanc has some past demons haunting her, and grows rather protective about the thought of Blanc in any harm or danger. If she can make the exasperated first mate crack a smile or an rare laugh, she feels like she's on top of the world.
She and Calyspo get along really well, as they have a mutual affection, be it different, for their captain. For years Blanc wanted Noir to open up and she's relieved when Calypso comes along and gets her closest friend to be more vulnerable. You'll often see Blanc and Calyspo speaking together about literature, something the two both share is a love for knowledge, and the two tend to pick up books they'll think the other will like on islands.
In an crew of quite a lot of unruly characters, Blanc is a breath of calmness and often times solidarity of the hijinks of their crew. Calyspo knows she can ask Blanc questions and the other woman will answer them truthfully, and they both try their best to make Noir take better care of herself. The two are often in each others company, quietly working or reading in the same space, and often taking a break to share their thoughts.
Constantly hyping Meifeng up to Blanc, Nox is very aware of the twos feelings for each other and can't help but try to help their closest friend out. At first Blanc is rather annoyed, but later thinks the gesture was rather sweet, if unneeded.
