Crylight's Links
There are things she doesn't tell Swoopdove because his emotions make him volatile. Nonetheless, he's the only cat in ShineClan that she's close to.
Between the two of them, Swoopdove has usually been the leader and the one that takes initiative. He appreciates that Crylight is the only one in ShineClan who listens to him.
Fallingstar was always the most distant of their trio, so Crylight worried what would become of him after they left him behind. She doesn't harbor the same hatred for him that Swoopdove does but still doesn't speak to him beyond a few clipped words.
He believes Crylight is a kind and empathetic soul, so the way she ignores him is especially painful. He sees her as a bit of a role model--with a personality somewhat similar to his, yet managing to show genuine care for others.
She doesn't like to talk to Berrysalve because it reminds her of her own failings. She views her as an accomplished medicine cat regardless of Berrysalve's difficulties with social interaction.
She taught Crylight for some time and was hopeful they could be medicine cats together. However, Crylight stayed a warrior and ended up returning to ShineClan, leaving Berrysalve alone again.
She remembers Flowingleap as the kindest and warmest cat in ShineClan. She saw him as both a father figure and an older brother.
He has watched from StarClan as little Crykit grew up. He's dismayed that Crylight gave up on the path she wanted to walk. In many ways, she reminds him of him and his brother.
She wishes she'd had the strength to support Flickerfaith in the past. She's unable to face her again due to feelings of inferiority.
She hasn't seen Crylight in a while and doesn't know if they're still friends. She always felt that Crylight was suffering in a way Flickerfaith couldn't heal.
