Petra Pagan —

Formerly the de-facto leader of the Ranger's Guild and one of two who temporarily manhunted Fletcher out of his own home! Good times, good times.. whatever the case, after clearing that mess up, Fletcher has to say that Petra might just be one of the strongest people he knows. Sheesh, she might be the strongest person he knows.. he definitely doesn't want get on her bad side. He's, uh... really lucky that she decided she wanted to be on his team instead of the opposite. (Seriously, she kicked his ass that one time.)

That, and.. it's nice to have someone around with a good head on their shoulders. He hates to admit it, but their party is kind of.. lacking in that. She takes up the leadership role when he can't, and that's.. pretty brave considering their circumstances.

Callum Caston —

And then the other half of the Ranger's Guild who committed to Fletcher's manhunt! Good times, good times. (Although, Callum was a lot less terrifying about it than Petra was.) Callum is-- pretty silly, and that's a bold declaration coming from Fletcher of all people. They feel like two sides of the same coin sometimes. Still, Callum has his perks, and Fletcher would be pretty lost if the Ranger's Guild hadn't decided to join their expedition.. even though Petra pretty much signed Callum up without his say-so. Lucky that they're attached to the hip!

Callum is nice to have around when the going gets tough. Even if most of the party would rather die than admit it, the guy can be pretty witty.. on occassion. Though, weirdly, as much of an open book the guy is.. sometimes Fletcher feels like he's not being entirely honest with him.

Park Eun-ji —

The far more intimidating half of the pair that makes up Eun-ji and Benny. Eun-ji is tough-- and she knows it! She's happy to flaunt that much and she was ever since Fletcher first met her. They're.. pretty lucky that she was willing to extend a hand to them back in The Junction. They would've been pretty lost, otherwise.

Much like Petra, Eun-ji is one of the strongest people Fletcher knows, and he holds a lot of respect for her in that regard-- which he's sure she's aware of. Maybe she even takes a bit of advantage of that, but he knows she's got the party's best intentions in mind. Especially considering her other half is stuck with them for the ride.

Benjamin "Benny" Suárez —

When Fletcher first met Benny, he might've screamed. In fact, most of their party did. His and Eun-ji's whole thing is.. kind of terrifying to comprehend at first! Being a facet and manifestation of your life-time companions power is a lot to take in for a first meeting.

But getting past all that, Benny is.. nice to have around! He's silly, albeit in a way that's far different than Callum's brand of silly. Fletcher would be lying if Benny's whole deal still didn't freak him out a little-- seriously, you see the guy phase through stuff? it's a whole thing-- but... he's getting used to it, with time.

Trace Galloway —

There's.. a lot to unpack, when it comes to Trace Galloway. One half of Cain's entourage and the cause of a lot more problems than the party was needing, as well as the cause of a lot of.. complicated thoughts. By all accounts, Trace isn't meant to exist-- not as he does now, at least. And the fact that he somehow managed to keep himself around is.. a lot to think about. Especially when Fletcher himself was (allegedly) most of the reason for doing that.

Yeah, the pressure was kind of on.

Despite all that, Fletcher is... Fletcher is glad that he's here. And he struggles to understand if that's because of what they were at some point, something that only the old Fletcher will remember, or because of what they are now. Being on a world-saving quest really isn't the best time for this kind of crisis.

Wynne Bourne —

Wynne... Wynne is a lot to think about. Sometimes, Fletcher.. still isn't sure how he feels about her. He knows that they're kind of indebted to her for not letting them die-- though, he's pretty sure she mainly did it for Trace.. but sometimes he's still vaguely unsure. That doesn't mean he hasn't put his utmost faith in her-- not like they have a ton of options. Besides, he's.. pretty sure that she won't do anything with her other half around.

Outside of all that, Wynne is... strong. Frighteningly strong. Something that comes with being one of Cain's two underlings, if he had to guess. Even though he's meant to be the hero of this story, he's almost certain that without the party by his side he'd be lost against her. Good thing she's on their side, huh?
