The Holy Maiden. It is her destiny to be betrothed to Celt and support Celt in her reign over all Entirety. Lil Strawberry, thus, does not hide her voice from Solanalt, for she knows that no force could ever drive Solanalt away from her beloved. This freaks Solanalt out more often than not, but fear is the first step toward rebirth.
Athena's counterpart in Altirety. There's almost something a little sad about seeing Solanalt be so happy and carefree given all that Athena's been through, but Esva hardly holds it against her! Any version of Athena is a friend of hers, and while she can't exactly say that to her face without being a weirdo she CAN be really nice whenever they cross paths!
Athena is Esva's best friend, she's pretty sure! Though she was initially intimidated by her, Esva quickly came to realize that Athena needed a friend, love, and attention more than anything. Esva does her very best to be there for Athena, brushing her hair and baking her pastries and napping with her and giving her therapy and many other deeply sapphic acts.
One who has pledged a staunch allegiance to Esva. Though her gaze is cold, so long as Celt shows Esva her mercy Lil Strawberry shall show Athena mercy by association. Should Celt come to view Athena as a threat, however...
Celt has taken a liking to Esva despite Esva's alien nature. Such magnanimity is to be expected from Celt. Esva may live.
"What a cute little creature! I wonder if I might get a slime pet myself..."
To be perfectly honest, Orchid feels bad about the whole Julias thing. First he kills the guy in his own Entirety, then he goes to another Entirety and more or less betrays him. He meant what he said about the whole making an effort to keep him safe thing, but all things considered he doesn't expect Julias to trust him, believe him, and least of all forgive him. And, hell, why would he?
He wasn't aware that Yval had a brother, and he's... baby?
Huh. Yval could have sworn he mentioned Oliv being his brother during their date. Turns out that wasn't the case, but oh well. These things happen when a date turns into chaos. ANYWAY, Oliv's glad Yval has friends now! :D
"I thought she had a snake on her butt, but the snake IS her butt! I want a snake butt, too!"
Box-chan is a result of Arquen's possession of the Cenoir Oress many a Competition ago. He's surprisingly defensive of them, to the surprise of pretty much anyone who knows of him.
That's Box-chan's dad!!!!!!! Box-chan is very attached to Arquen, pretty much literally when they're in the same space as one another.
Ignis is still not entirely convinced that Box-chan isn't some kind of drunken delusion that hasn't had the wherewithal to vanish.
"I think he's my grandpa? He likes grown-up juice."
Norn dong didn't happen. Wiggly friend didn't happen. Everything is normal between them.
The reason Arquen doesn't stay over in Maple Manor anymore.
M-Must... not... pet...
Has violently mauled Dicro on more than one occasion as a consequence of being petted. The least he could do is have the decency to fight back for once; maybe he could finally hammer some combat sense into Dicro's head.
Despite being a violent beast warrior, Erol was nice to her from their first meeting. Plus he's big and fluffy, so what's not to like??? (she is actively ignoring the bloodstains) ^^ kity
Mouse not to be harmed #1, according to Ignis. Erol has exercised much restraint over the centuries to avoid upsetting her, petpets and braided fur be damned. All in all, could be much worse for something tiny and docile.
Poor, poor Julias. All he wanted to do was be an effective agent of Ignis, and then he got Halyn'd. And then he got Muri'd! It's hard for Umbra not to actively pity him, really. He's certainly competent and all that, but it's hard to focus on that when she's just thinking about what an unfortunate soul he is.
Julias is one of the few people who knows Ara's secret - namely, that she's a Superior Being called Empathy. She feels a bit bad about spooking him that night where she explained as much and needed him to take her to Ignis, but it had to be done. That aside, Julias seems like a kind and reliable person, albeit one carrying much stress in his heart...
2cro owes Julias a lot. Despite the red flags covering his entire being, Julias and his brother took 2cro in anyway and did their best to help 2cro get settled and avoid detection. It sure would be a shame if 2cro wasn't who he said he was and was just using them the whole time!
Arquen was awfully grumpy about given LeFleuris his stolen backpack back. Almost like he was having a poor time coping with killing a child or something! What was a softie like that doing in a killing game? Well, LeFleuris supposes most of them didn't have much choice...
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (endless nervous sweating as he scrambles to get rid of the wiggly friend)
He had a wiggly friend!
Poe can't help but find it endearing that Arquen keeps this strange little creature around, but he's naturally careful not to draw much attention to this fact.
Poe is nice! Kind of splodey sometimes though.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TALKING BOX AHHHHHHHHHHHH DEMONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
He yells a lot.
How classically annoying of an Ignis lackey to immortalize an act of defiance against her. What, is she supposed to be afraid of a cardboard box? How pathetic.
The nature of Box-chan's existence causes it to feel a sense of distaste toward Opine. Since the rest of the Tested openly dislike her, too, it doesn't feel bad to not like her, either.
This box has seen things. Also when did Arquen adopt a box
Is his uniform too hot? He always seems so sweaty all the time. But he's nice! He talks to Arquen a lot!
Ara is so happy that Box-chan exists! They're so cute, and it's sweet to see Arquen be so kind... and to see Ignis let Arquen keep them around!
Box-chan and Ara are SUPER tea party buddies. They were practically made for each other.
She never really expected Arquen to adopt a box, but... well, to be perfectly honest she feels like she should stop not expecting things. The box is fine.
Arquen has two bosses apparently?! Umbra looks a little mean, but she's nice!
If it fits, they sits.
Istra really likes snacks, so they're good friends! Unfortunately they aren't strong enough to give Istra rides, which they seem to want a lot...
