Afanen Keshet's Links
The two of them grew up together and having been born the same year, they're practically twins. Effie used to be worried they'd grow apart because of her time consuming career, but alas, this wasn't meant to be.
Enfys loves her bubbly cousin and her usual little jabs are never spiteful or mean-spirited. They are legions, though. Never enough jabs at Effie who can and will go on foot anywhere in Heart A, no matter the distance, because she forgot she owns a motorcycle.
Kaja is best goose and has a fantastic fashion sense. Effie loves Kaja and their every meeting is guaranteed fun.
Kaja can't help but be a little, a tiny bit jealous of her friend. She's beautiful, has an amazing figure, and of course is in a happy relationship with a person Kaja's been crushing more or less forever. She can't possibly be angry though. In her eyes, Effie deserves all of that and more.
Afanen was naturally drawn to Marjolaine's effortless sweetness from the start - and it's no wonder they used to have some intimate fun. While they do not anymore, because of both of their current relationship status, there's zero hard feelings. They always were friends first and foremost - and that's what they still are.
Marjolaine treats Afanen, for all intents and purposes, as one of her closest friends. She truly believes it's someone she can trust with everything, any information. It was very stressful, having to tell Effie they couldn't be less than platonic anymore - she, however, acted like a wonderful sport and that might have brought them even closer.
Vesna to Effie is this one friend you're intimidated by, and half the time you aren't sure if they even like you - but then suddenly they show you such kindness you remember you're close and this never changed. Effie is happy to be on Vesna's good side. She doesn't want to know what the other one looks like.
Effie is sweet and bubbly, and introduces a breeze of fresh, energetic air to Vesna's life. Like Kaja, just less destructive. She doesn't pretend when she doesn't know something, and is willing to listen. It's a rare virtue, and possibly Vesna's favourite in her beautiful friend.
Branwen is the very person who remembers Effie has a motorcycle... More frequently than Effie herself.
Bran met Effie through Marjolaine and "Wait, so you have a motorcycle, too?! Tell me EVERYTHING!".
The two of them went from market rivals to friends, to - eventually - lovers. They keep their relationship on the downlow, to not allow any paparazzi interferences... Which, in Effie's mind, only adds to the thrill, especially if they get to sneak in a touch or a smooch without people around them noticing.
Rina is big, strong and confident (which really impresses Effie)... And at the very same time, she's so very shy and it's utterly endearing. Effie's incredibly proud of her girlfriend, at all times, and has endless supply of patience and reassuring words when it comes to saying how beautifully she looks or what a delight she's going to be at a social gathering. Because it's true.
At first, she was confused and surprised by the inclusion in Mama Bellamy's little flock of spoilees - but it is very appreciated! It's a pain to watch all the amazing pastries brought to Enfys's craft store and refuse them so frequently, but Mama also makes healthier treats so she can at least eat those!
A beautiful, beautiful girl who shares two of Odette's passions: meeting people and working out! She would honestly love to go to the gym together sometime, buuut Afanen probably catches a lot of attention (as a cover girl as well as just an attractive person), Odette would hate to make her feel like she was being supervised.
Will is a sweet nerd who immediately attracted Effie's trust - so choosing the firm he works ag to represent her legally was a no-brainer. Half the time she doesn't understand what he says (because it's either rpg references or legal terms), but she likes and appreciates him nonetheless.
Back in school, Will would've never gained attention from a girl like Effie - so their friendship is equal parts flattering and bewildering. He feels like he makes himself look like an idiot in front of her sometimes, but with her kindness (and the common link that is Kaja), it rarely gets in the way.
Effie's dad is the most awesome person of all time. Enough said.
Shin has a very relaxed and casual relationship with Afanen, sometimes acting more like a friend than a father - to the point a stranger could think he wasn't doing his job. In fact, however, in Effie's teenage years, he pulled many a sickies to drive her around to numerous castings and auditions, and then to photo shoots, to make sure she could pursue her passion freely, like he did. And he's always bragging whenever her face pops up in the media - although seeing her shots in varying states of undress is rather uncomfortable to him.
The two of them often happen to attend the same parties - and they have the best time. Effie loves her uncle tons, and is very proud to point out their familial connection in front of people from the industry... Although it did take her time at the beginning, to gain confidence and get over being "Rhys Keshet's, the actor's, niece" before having a name for herself.
In Rhys's head, Afanen is simply another daughter of his. Her love and compassion has always been a lot of help to Enfys, and for that reason Rhys is equally ready to do everything for them both - if being family wasn't enough in the first place.
