Dating? To Sasha, Mickey's just one of her sugar daddies, admittedly a hot and young one who's pretty good at sex and just so happens to really understand her emotionally. Will profess her love to Mickey while drunk/high but certainly won't say anything near that sappy sober.
Dating!! Mickey thinks Sasha is just the best. Used to dealing with simpering fangirls, he's actually pretty into Sasha's harsh attitude. She hurts his feelings sometimes, but he's overall rather dedicated to her and suspects they may be soulmates.
Met her once. Thinks she's a bad ass bitch. #goals, even.
Met her once. Thinks she's hot but kinda tacky.
Neighbors, business partners, occasional drinking buddies. While their relationship started as blackmail, he considers her a friend. Thinks she's funny when she's mad.
Neighbors, business partners, occasional drinking buddies. Was kinda-sorta blackmailed into helping him with various security concerns of his business after he learned about her hacking hobby. She hates him, but also kind of has a thing for him.
While raised by Sasha's mother, he doesn't refer to her as his sister - regardless, he treats her like one, filling the "annoying big brother" role perfectly. Teases her, plays with her, occasionally gives her money if she's between sugar daddies - you know. While he mostly leaves her to her own devices, good or bad, God help you if he thinks you're a genuine threat to her.
Raised together by Sasha's mother. Sasha fully considers Landon her brother, and is occasionally put off that he doesn't feel the same. There's not much better way to describe their relationship as siblings. While he annoys her frequently, she's nonetheless highly possessive of him and scrutinizes anyone who comes to close to him.
Initially despises him and lashes out on him. When Landon gets on her about it, she apologizes (reluctantly). Eventually he starts to grow on her ("like a fungus," she says.)
Terrified of her. Only interactions with her as much as necessary. Eventually starts to relax around her, but still nervous she'll go back to previous behavior.
Cute! Cute! Cute! Initially Landon only wanted Fris as a plaything, but the more they got to know each other the more he liked him. While his affection is no doubt twisted, his feelings are genuine. He wants to improve Fris' life, he just has absolutely terrible ideas on how to go about it.
Complicated. They'd like to say they hate Landon, but that simply isn't true. Over time, they've grown a fair measure of fondness for the man. Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome, maybe it's just the first time in their life they've ever had someone willing to listen and be their friend. Who Knows?
Fris is convinced his younger sister despises and resents him. Only speaks to her rarely, and then tries to limit what he says and the amount of time they interact. Assumed she wouldn't mind him dying or disappearing.
Fris irritates the fuck out of Mirabel, who can't stand how he won't stand up for or take care of himself. Regardless, she loves her loser failbrother and is furious when he disappears, and goes looking for him.
Moe has always considered Merry her best friend and rival. Merry's disappearance from the idol scene - and her life - hurt her deeply, and was the inciting incident for her disillusionment with the world of idols. Now that Merry has returned, Moe is always looking too far into her actions, and seems incapable of believing Merry can do anything wrong or cause any harm. Moe is still now deeply in love with her, but long ago accepted that Merry will never share these feelings.
Merry cares for Moe more than she does most people, but these feelings don't come close to Moe's own. She supports Moe's goal to reform idol society, but more because she finds it interesting than because she has any belief it will succeed or be beneficial. While aware of Moe's feelings towards her, she refuses to act on them - she considers this small gesture, of not leading her friend along too much, to be a kindness.
Despite being half-siblings, Haneko didn't know of Merry's existence until she came to Japan to enroll in Yotsuboshi. At the time, she admired Merry and aspired to be like her, but often was bitter about how easy things seemed to come for her and the attention she received. As adults, she is more mature - however, Merry's carefree and blaze attitude towards life (and Moe) often frustrates and hurts her.
Merry considered Haneko to be a cute little sister to play with as a kid, but never paid too much attention to her beyond that. After leaving for Europe, she didn't bother following her career or keeping up contact. As adults, she still doesn't take her very seriously - though, to be fair, Merry takes very few things seriously. She still thinks it's fun to tease Haneko.
Haneko starts by thinking Moe must be similar to Elza, and can't understand why she would reach out to her other than for some sort of manipulation. However, as they work together more she realizes Moe is a good person, and agrees with some of her ideas on the flaws in the idol world. Haneko acts to regulate some of her more outlandish impulses by providing a practical outlook, and Moe gives her hope that she has a future as an idol. Over time, she develops a crush on Moe - but believing it will never be reciprocated, she doesn't tell a soul.
Moe approaches Haneko because she's impressed by her determination as an idol, to continue on as a freelancer after being dropped by Venus Ark. Moe wants to push her to become a more powerful idol who can prove the traditional system is bunk. However, over time she becomes incredibly fond of Haneko, relying on her for emotional support and practical advice. She is entirely oblivious to Haneko's crush on her, just thinking of the two as incredibly close friends and allies.
Ageha is utterly fascinated by Marina's power over the Pripara system, and would love to use it for her own gain. With that goal in mind, she gladly gets close to Marina and will go along with whatever crazy scheme is asked of her.
Marina thinks Ageha is a whole lot of fun! While she genuinely believes Clover's warning that she's dangerous, her curiosity greatly outweighs any concern for her own safety - especially when her own power over the system makes her mostly invincible.
Marina and Clover used to be in a unit together in middle school, when they were best friends. While they kept in contact over the years, she never expected to meet her again in Pripara. Marina's crazy antics and endless energy tire her out nowadays, but she still cares deeply for her friend and loves her like a sister. She can't help but be excited and curious about the new technology Marina has developed, even with the problems it causes them.
Marina and Clover used to be in a unit together in middle school, when they were best friends. While they kept in contact over the years, she never forgot about Pripara, even when she went back to America. She worked tirelessly for years to rejoin Clover, and just recently succeeded. While she doesn't want to push her childhood friend into anything she doesn't want to do, she does desperately wish they could be a unit again and perform like old days.
Clover is an amusing toy to Ageha. She thinks there's little chance Clover will ever get enough evidence to pin her down, so she happily teases her with just enough hints to keep her chasing. The thrill of the hunt is fun to her - even more so as Clover gets more attached to her and tsundere. It's hard to say her feelings are genuine, but she enjoys flirting with her.
Ageha is a dangerous criminal who needs to be apprehended! Clover doesn't have the hard evidence to pin her down just yet - that's her excuse for staying close to her, anyway. She's unwilling to admit she might have some other feelings for the enigmatic idol beyond just a need for justice. While she denies them on principle, Ageha's fantastic ideas about an ideal world fascinate her as much as they frighten her.
Azumi and Hayate were close as children, with Azumi often following him around like he was the older sibling. As they got older, Azumi became more independent and focused on her goal of becoming a hero, which pushed the more rebellious Hayate away. She thinks he's reckless, inconsiderate, and more than a little full of himself, but she still loves and worries about her brother deeply, even if she can't accept his new career path. She's still looking for an opportunity to turn him into police, or at very least bring him back to apologize to their family for disappearing.
Hayate and Azumi's relationship has been strained ever since she entered hero school and he became a delinquent. He thinks she's overly self-righteous and self-sacrificing to a fault, but these feelings are born from worry about his older sister. In the end, he doesn't want anything bad to happen to her - and now that they've reconnected, he considers her safety a top priority.
