Nealani Dalmoon's Links
"He's the most genuine and honest man. He puts on this tough "Ohh I don't care" act, but he's got a heart made of gold. I wish he'd open up more. There's always a part of him that's hidden away. Sometimes I wonder..."
Lenadis is a huge dork underneath his hardcore, 'bad boy' exterior and Nea can see this from the start. As children they met and she easily developed a crush on him. Even as a teen, she felt that they bring out the best (and worst :P) of each other and that they were meant to be (cue You Belong With Me playing muffled in the background). But she never told him and seeing him flirt with and date other girls, she could tell he did not feel that same romantic way for her. After this, she forces herself to ignore the feelings and focus on being Len's best friend. She feels he is a bit brash and too honest sometimes, but he's also honorable and noble.
"She's the kindest, most positive person I know. I'd be dead meat without her... seriously. I just wish she'd deal with anxieties about flying. Or her anxiety in general. Life would be a lot easier."
Lenadis is grateful to have Nea in his life. The obvious reason being that she can heal him... but that's only on the surface. He appreciates everything she does for him, even the small and silly things. He highly values her opinions and feels she is extremely book-smart. As a kid, he actually returned Nea's feelings, but completely ignored them for fear of ruining his reputation. it was bad enough to be seen hanging out with the weird, quiet, 'good girl'... he'd never hear the end of it from his cousin and friends if he actually revealed his true feelings. After decades of internalizing his feelings, he has conned himself into dating other girls and seeing Nea only as a friend. He feels she is a bit too soft and tame sometimes.. he wishes she would take initiative and just dive in head-first with some things.
"My closest friend and the one who knows me better than any one else. Eyona truly is my soul-sister. She always reminds me to keep doing the right and kind thing, even if I feel weary and want to quit. It's worth it in the end and she always reminds me of that. She supports me so much and I can't even imagine where I would be without her. She is the greatest Do anyone could ever ask for. I know it was Elune's will that we find each other."
Nealani is extremely close to Eyona and sees her as a sister of sorts. She confides in Eyona and is able to tell her things she cannot talk about with anyone else. She is able to talk about her struggles as a priest, her struggles with growing up, and general struggles, without judgement or skepticism. Nea also enjoys being able to provide the same peace to Eyona.
"Nealani is a most beautiful soul and I am thankful we travel the same path. While we study different areas and we have different interests, we have always connected in a way that can only happen between sisters. We understand each other in such beautiful ways and it is a refreshing connection that is rare in this darkened world. I do not take our friendship for granted."
Eyona has known Nealani for a long time and has been her mentor ever since Nea was a novice priest. Each has helped the other grow and step into her potential. They can talk about the things they struggle with emotionally, that others might not understand and Eyona is beyond grateful for this. It was Nea who believed in her animal sanctuary and Nea who helped to heal the most injured animals. Eyona is proud to call such a kind soul, her friend and sister.
