Friendly towards, though gives a wider berth than she normally would nowadays. Perceives as thoughtful and kind through their minimal interactions.
A nearly constant and therefore appreciated presence. Has a strange sense of comfort around the male even though they haven't spoken a word to each other yet. Almost always sees him alone and so gravitates to keep him company hoping to make at least one soul feel less lonely, though of course she's not sure he needs it, so tries not to take up too much of his time to not seem intrusive. Enjoys his company in her own quiet and shy ways.
A kind but troubled soul. A sense of closeness since the first time he set his eyes over the doe without knowing where those feelings came from, at same time it felt like that a 'one of a kind' link was formed between the two, being rare enough for the Mortar to worry about it. Has an idea it started by their shared affinity for fire but knows it doesn't stop there. Without her knowing, Aileen keeps his own destructive side at bay, almost tame and in response, wants to be protective and keep her safe from harm, even though he knows now she doesn't want or need said help, but will offer anyway. There is silent acceptance of one another, that neither seem to fully understand. The first to worry about his stay in the forest and to want to make him feel welcome, even though she is also recently back herself. Drawn to and curious of the embered doe and so enjoys every moment spent in her company. Reaching out, developing friendship. Oh boy this needs an updateee

The one who caused a storm of feelings in which the doe is almost lost. Despite they've only seen each other a few times, she was both unexpectedly and frighteningly open with the male, sharing things with him that she hasn't told even those she calls friends, simply because the words came out of her mouth without a second thought as if it was meant to be. Maybe it was because she saw something of her own in him because of their affinity for fire or maybe it was something else. Appreciated his openness with her, as well. Touched to the core by his attentiveness and good manners. Still shy around him. Seems worse at controlling her emotions and fire around Reevs, becomes more chaotic and in a way impulsive, wonders if the male's presence is somehow enhancing her own fiery nature or is it just he himself who has that effect on her. Somewhere deep down her inner little girl is happy to learn about his wish to be protective of her, but denies it fearing and not wanting him to get in trouble or get hurt because of her. After learning some details of his history, has a genuine wish to help Reevs to settle in the forest and make him feel comfortable there, as she remembers herself how lost she was when she came there one day. Feels something of a danger coming from Reevs' ancient being, her entire being tells her to stay away from him, but she can't help herself and so is drawn in a way that can only be described as gravitational. One of the few she'll seek out. [Very outdated and needs an update, but I'm afraid to even start because it's gonna turn into a book :crying: helPppp]
One of the acquaintances from the Endless Forest that Astrid often worried and wondered about for a while. Visited once and still interested in the other's life from the outside, despite a prickly sense of resentment and ambivalence. Doesn't know much about, yet trusted her with arms, cuddles and time, wishing to be with more often. But mutual avoidance of late, noticing that Crimson Phoenix prefers certain company. No longer makes the first move, receiving only a little time and withdrawal in favor of the "loneliness" Scarlet spends with others. A lingering sense of uncertainty in a friendship that has gone into an indefinite pause. A misunderstanding of the resulting rift between the two. Silent waddling in the abyss.
A good friend and an almost constant presence in the forest. The first person whose world she visited, so she became forever special. Despite Aileen's strange behavior regarding touching, Astrid had an understanding attitude that Aileen appreciated very much.
Once was comfortable enough around Astrid and shared what was troubling her at that moment. Has a warm attitude towards the golden doe, likes to snuggle and cuddle with her in the forest. Protective of.
The most regular company during the Rut 23. Haven't spend much time after, yet yearns to learn more about; to learn what kind of character she has. Keeping his eye out for, yet rather wait for the other to come seek him than chase for her attention. Has noticed that they seem to share their company with some troublesome looking fellows, so in a way feels like the other is seeking for a trouble, even welcoming it to their life.
Met during The Rut 2023. The male made her amused when he suddenly sneaked up and rubbed his side against a tree next to the harem kept by Pelagius, who was busy interacting with some lady at that particular moment. What a cunning fellow! Enjoyed watching the action, including the following sparring, at the end of which Aileen just couldn't help but give her attention to the wolf even though the second sparring didn't go too well for him. Enjoys his quiet company, though she is quite shy with him. Hopes to know more about. | She's a trouble herself :'C
A good and dear friend and welcoming company from the past. Realized that she didn't seem to remember him after her return to the forest, so decided not to tell her anything about it, and to start from scratch. Wonders at her ability to get into trouble and is almost ready to create a world for her himself, with just her and the butterflies, so no one could hurt her (if he only could). Once shared with her that he is not really a nice person, though he didn't go into details to avoid upsetting Cree since she told him about her ruined home world. He was ready for her to turn on him, but she surprised him with supportive words. Protective. Cherishes her company despite they haven't crossed paths much lately.
Her most treasured friendship for over a decade. Finds comfort and safety in Flait’s company and is more often than not found by his side. A friendship that, despite both of them disappearing out of each others lives for extended periods, has never faded. Looks forward to spending her time with Flait, it brings her peace; knowing that there is someone out there she can always return to. Despite their strong bond, does notice Flait’s jealousy and gets easily irritated by this. Fully aware that she too has flaws and that she has grown possessive over him. Is working on that though. Her feelings for him have tipped over into the romantic side. Is too insecure and afraid to admit this to him due to past trauma, so keeps her feelings to herself for now. Can’t help but share tender moments with when her emotions get the upper hand, usually caused by Flait bringing her flowers or being extra affectionate. Appreciates everything he does for her and is so grateful that he fully accepts her for who she is, just like she accepts him. Makes her heart flutter and longs for with her whole being; loving him with all of her heart. “You were something I had never expected, but you have been there all this time.”
The closest friend, but more. A friendship that started ten years ago and turned out to be something Flait never expected. Begins to admit at least to himself that he has very deep and tender feelings for her. Feelings that he has never had before, but that fill his heart and soul with warmth every time he thinks of Pretty. His heart. His light. His salvation. Overprotective, possessive, and extremely jealous. Painfully wishes she was only his. Would sacrifice all the time in the world just to spend one second with her. Cherishes the necklace she had wrapped around one of his antler's tines, wears all the time. "I am your sword, your shield, and your love-sick protector."
Would give his life for her without a second thought, but is hesitant to confess his feelings to her properly yet because he doesn't think he's a good man and someone who would make her truly happy. He learned about her tragic past and sincerely regrets not being there for her back then. Is aware that he has a huge amount of flaws, so is afraid that his temper might put out that fire in her that he quietly adores, and ruin what they already have. However, more than anything, he fears losing her or seeing someone else by her side. "You're the love that came without warning. You had my heart before I could say no."
Met during The Rut 2023. Enjoys spending time with Landan, as well as having a chuckle with him over something. Welcomed company. Appreciated his concern for her when he came to warn her of danger one day. Curious of.
Beautiful.
No, you!!!
One of the twins who unexpectedly burst into her life and made her feel warm feelings. Pleasant company. Curious of.
A sweet lady he's shared company with a few times now.
Was keeping the man's company on several occasions, enjoying their quiet and peaceful hangouts. Curious of.
A kind face in the forest whose company she had enjoyed a couple of times. Helped to fight off a predator, for which the red doe is very grateful.
"Kyndall" - And just like a candle, the red doe has brought about a fire inside of the Wolf that he never imagined would ever burn. She makes his chest ache and his stomach clench, sparking emotions in him that he had never before experienced. And like the inexperienced fool that he was, he didn't know how to act on them, didn't know how to pursue them - how to pursue her. For months, he let the emotions stir idly in him. And for his inexperience and foolishness, he has paid the price - she has found another.
"It’s all too quiet without you, I hear and see nothing but darkness and danger down each path I run. And running is all I do now, chasing an escape from this torment that I'll probably never catch. At night, I relive the horror of losing you to another, no matter how I have begged and pleaded.. but this world is cruel and unfair. Without you here my heart stays searching for something to fill the void that’s left. I never craved attention until I tasted yours.. but I will not try to take you from your happiness."
Was once his best friend, but ultimately feels that he has been replaced by other, more desirable, company. Avoids, feels as though he, himself, is unwanted by her, even in the form of simple company. No longer attempts to approach.

"You're praying I'm the one, but maybe I'm a curse. The more I try to fix us, the more I make it worse."

One of the closest and most trusted faces in the Forest. Best friend. Finds the man's company desirable even despite his antics that sometimes drive her mad. Highly appreciated his attempt to protect her in the fight by taking some of the damage meant for her, though she's very sorry and feels guilty that he risked himself for her. One of the few who saw her in a terrible state, but stayed with her to keep an eye on her and her health despite her attempt to chase him away. Appreciates his concern and support when she needs it. Trusts him with her life. Will help out whenever he needs it. Likes his honesty even when their views on some things are strikingly different, just as they themselves are different. Growing friendship and emotional swings: one day he throws dirt at her just because he thinks it's funny, and the next day he brings her flowers. He doesn't hesitate to find ways to bring out her hidden impulsive nature, so she becomes more sassy and sarcastic around him BECAUSE HE PULLS ALL THIS SHIT OUT OF HER.

At first, unimpressed and disgusted by her assumptions of Aileen, though given glimmers enough to pique her interest - aided by Maija's own. Has subjected Aileen to a series of interactions that only the huntress understands the conditions of, often walking the knife's edge of contradictory feelings regarding the doe. After a handful of experiences, more certain of Aileen's character and her opinion regarding the Firestorm.
Maija's love. Complicated and tense relationship. Believes that Greitai behaves this way because she is jealous of Maija and doesn't trust Aileen when she's around. After the last confrontation, in which Maija unexpectedly tried to protect Aileen from Greitai, made the decision to stay away from the pair when they are together so as not to ruin Maija and Greitai's relationship with her presence. Keeps a distance, though Greitai herself is not hesitant to visit her from time to time to blow off steam on Aileen. Aileen is sure that Greitai doesn't like her, but Aileen herself doesn't hold a grudge because she understands that the Raptoress protects what she considers hers. She developed respect and gratitude for the dark woman after they were attacked by Umay and had to team up to fight off the angry cat. Rushed to Greitai's aid in the 'second round', surprised at her own reaction, but Aileen just couldn't stand by and not try to do something to prevent her friend (Maija) from losing someone she loves.
Curiosity, acquaintance.
Doesn't know anything about the doe, but fought on one side being attacked by a predator. Grateful for her help. Curious of.
Thinks she is pretty! Is also very nice and lets me use her as a pillow 🥹
The little happiness and Civah's friend. Finds the puppy very cute and loves to watch her smile. Gave her and Civah necklaces to symbolize their friendship and asked them to take care of each other, in return she received an incredibly happy baby face, which is all she asked for. Will protect if needed.
Met under rather unfortunate circumstances; Dorian's mourning was raw enough to render him desperate while staying on a friend's guard. Appreciative of the understanding in the heat of a moment and only feels a little bemused by the kind of acceptance she later met him with. Against a number of non-personal reservations, thinks she's nice and feels a genuine thread of curiosity towards.
The first meeting didn't go well, as she felt the man literally watched her every move and didn't look friendly towards her when she approached. Confused by this reaction, she tried to avoid him until one day he found her himself to apologize for their strange first meeting. From the brief conversation, she had learned that Dorian wasn't himself then and was going through some personal issues, which she hadn't asked about so as not to pressure him unless he was willing to share it himself. Seems good now. Curious of.
Was found by the doe one day and invited to sit together. Seems good. Curious of.
Friend. Often thinks of her. Cares.
A dear friend and pleasant company. One of the few who visits her regularly and asks how she's doing, which Aileen incredibly appreciates. Someone she doesn't see as often as she'd like, but nevertheless each meeting promises only good emotions; good friends no matter what. Civah's dad. Respects. Curious of his fiery nature.
Sister by choice not by blood.
Gravitates towards the doe, seeing her as a kindred spirit. Very warm feelings for Black Swan. Loves her quiet company and cuddling with. The sister she never had. Seeks her out whenever she can. Protective of.
Adored. Felt she bled directly into the doe's open heart one day, with a display of rare dedication and care from the red doe during a time of great crisis, when she was nursed back to health and into a sense of loyalty toward Aileen from there on. Can clearly remember the moments she sat on a precipice with the doe, a pin's width of difference in deciding between letting her in and urging her away, and gradually pushing aside the reservations that told her it would be a poor decision for the other doe's happiness until she fully believed in the possibility of their friendship. Now, a sharp and profound feeling of loss.
A good friend. Gravitates to her gentle and accepting nature. Loves her company and tries to seek her out if she sees Maija alone. Appreciates her attempts to relieve the tension between Aileen and Greitai, though hesitates to approach the doe, not wanting to worsen relationship between Maija and Greitai with her presence.
[ ♡ ♡ · · · ] Sensed the potential for a meaningful friendship, yet interactions with Aileen have become increasingly rare. Maintains a positive opinion of her despite personal reservations that have little to do with the doe herself.
A kind face in her forest life. Once approached her and her family as they rested near the crying idol and was invited by River to join them. Enjoys her company every time their paths cross.
A kind face she's seen around the den on several occasion. Trusts and feels safe around, and loves to use her tail as a nest to cuddle up in!
Daughter of Theolor. Adores with all her heart, loves to play with her and run around, worries and takes care of her in her own quiet ways. Very warm feelings for the little kitten. Happy to let her use her tail as a nest. Protective of.
A treasured friend, one of the first within the Forest that the Solstice started reaching towards. Has come to be endeared by her thoughtful and caring ways, especially in regard to how she treats him, but also intrigued where their lives match up similarly - namely, their line of work. Thinks highly of the Wild Flame and, should the right circumstances ever present themselves, even protective of. Looked out for, though in Leon's discreet way as he would never want to become overbearing. Cares for, tries his best not to make her worry about him.
One of the closest faces in the forest. Dear friend. Likes his calm and relaxed nature as well as sitting under his wing, feels comfortable with, though still quite shy. Worries about him more than she expected, especially after he told her that he was murdered by his own brother. Cautious about his absences after that. Someone she's happy to be around no matter the circumstances. Appreciated the help he offered when she wasn't at her best. Not used to someone doing good for her without expecting anything in return, so she feels she owes him. Gave him a promise to help him whenever he needs it and got the same in return.
