Adalynn first met Titania on the night of an important night, the night after she played the role of Titania (the original queen) in a play, it was a happy night, one she cherishes (She keeps the dress made for her as a reminder), so when she was greeted by a distorted, warped, and pretty much cracked reflection of her not long after, she was horrified.
What could've happened to make her forsake her humanity and become... this? Power was one thing, but what lead to this...?
Titania made promises of eternal joy and making everyone else happy, but every sentence made Ada question it, it didn't sound fun for anyone but her, it sounded... selfish, almost. Granted, she was selfish, but not like this. Especially since being Queen probably meant all sorts of responsibility... which Titania clearly wasn't doing much of, if she slacked off and came back in time to try and make sure she happened!
While Titania had the horns she longed to have one day, she shook her head and firmly said
"If it means being as weird and messed up as you, I'd rather stay a Changeling!" before fleeing.
Adalynn resolved to never take up any offer from Puck, while the promise of becoming a fae sounded nice, if it meant becoming such a dangerous and... weird being, she'd stay who she was. And if she did one day become a fae, she wanted to be responsible. That'd be what Grimoire would want, anyway!
Given that Titania IS Adalynn (at least in a way), she feels she truly understands how the Changeling feels, and genuinely believes she would be happier as Queen of the Faeries. What she doesn't know is that the lingering echoes of TItania's essence makes her feel that way, and she's more than just a bit out of touch with who she used to be, all the power, responsibility, and most importantly, *humanity* changed Titania in such a way that she could still be considered Adalynn, but in many ways, isn't.
Which shocks and upsets her when she's rebuked by her past self.
She doesn't quite understand why her past self doesn't want to be her (Again, because of the warped essence), so she visits her every so often, continually attempting to change her mind, and failing every time. Unaware that forces beyond her control conspire to make sure this is the only timeline where Titania (as she is now) can exist
Ingrid first met King Lawrence on a visit to Feline Court lands after a particularly stressful day, invited there by a cat she was caring for named Isaac (Who turned out to be a Cait Sith), she found Lawrence to be a kind and wise (And fluffy) king, and thanked him for his hospitality, but when she expressed a desire to go home, Lawrence insisted she stay and live the carefree life of a cat... as one of his royal friends!
She just wanted to go home, but would find every exit from the castle blocked, and it would seem she would be doomed to become a Cait Sith... had it not been for the help of Isaac and a few other cats! Though Ingrid almost became a full cat, she escaped on the sixth day's twelfth hour, and was allowed to leave with Lawrence's blessing, but he promised he would visit her every so often in an attempt to change her mind.
Unfortunately, Lawrence has yet to break that promise, occasionally sneaking into Ingrid's house, posing as a regular cat, and attempting to sweet talk her into coming back to the Feline Court.
Ingrid doesn't hate Lawrence, she is simply annoyed by him, and still respects him as a king, but has been tempted to toss him out the window numerous times.
Lawrence has an intense interest in Ingrid, and would adore to have her as a "Royal Friend', one of his friends he spends time with in the Feline Court. From the second his Advisor Isaac brought her into the Throne Room, he wanted to befriend and do all sorts of fun things with her, though in hindsight he found himself a little impulsive towards decreeing that she stayed, he found a respect for her for constantly managing to escape his clutches, and outsmarting even the smarted cat, which only intensified his desire to be her friend.
Though she at last managed to escape (With his Blessing), he promised he would visit her every so often to attempt to convince her to return to the life of a cat... and he has yet to break that promise, sneaking into her house under the guise of a normal Norwegian Forest Cat numerous times, he's always there (With Isaac) to try and get a new friend!
Though, sometimes he worries he may be going a bit too far, he does leave her alone and go back to his kingly duties a number of times, usually at Isaac's request!
Caua is one of the most recurring people Sachi interacts with, when she can, first meeting him after arriving on a painfully boring religious city, she infiltrated the Church in search of him, declaring how bored she was, before connecting to the young boy, and immediately offering to take him on adventures.
The two have gone on many, many journeys together, sometimes as themselves, sometimes as other people, but Sachi never fails to enjoy the company of the strange Golden Child! Though, she always has to leave the planet in search of more stories, she allows Caua to summon her back there every Summer!
... Though, not without "Fixing" Caua to be the age she met him at!
Sachi is one of Caua's few, precious friends. He didn't expect to like her so much, especially given how their first introduction was her jumping through a glass window to introduce herself and how bored she was!
But after, Sachi began taking him on adventures throughout the City, sometimes as themselves, sometimes as other people, and sometimes, she even took him on wondrous journeys through works of fiction, and giving him other powers and identities that made him feel better about himself!
Though she always has to leave by the end of Summer, she gifted him a special whistle that would have her arrived, and every year, without fail, she arrives! Though, as he grows older, he does grow annoyed at Sachi's insistence at transforming him back into a teenager, the age she met him at...

While they wish their dreamscape was closer to Presti, they visit and work together when they can, and as requested, they attempt to contact Presti when necessary and let them know they're OK!

Scarlet is unsure how to feel about the so called "Violet Alchemist", her friendly demeanor is nice, but having her act as if she's always known her is not. Despite the discomfort, she always appreciates Farris' help when needed! She never travels with her, but somehow keeps running into her
Farris has run into the Mid-Level Magus more than a few times, but has only chatted with her in passing, due to her being busy with other things to take care of, yet somehow already feels like a friend to her. Could there be a deeper connection to her? After all, she did have Amnesia... possibly, possibly not. For now, she's just always glad to see the half-vampire and even help her when need be
Huo cares greatly for Tat, their "Sibling", even if Huo gets absorbed into stories and looks things over a bit too much, the two are connected at the source, and cannot exist without the other, they support each other and help with the stories they want to see and experience, and simply enjoy reading and having fun when they're bored!

Scarlet unintentionally had a hand in creating Scharlachrot through a concentration of negative emotions on a particularly harrowing night where she was mocked for her child-like appearance and behavior. These thoughts impacted an already coalescing Nightmare mass of childish negative emotions, which gave form to Scharlachrot, taking on a few of Scarlet's physical traits.
Scarlet is unaware of Scharlachrot, but has seen her in her dreams a few times, wondering why she has recurring dreams where she regressed into a child...
Scharlachrot was created from a number of people's negative emotions and feelings toward childish things and being looked down on, including Scarlet's, because of this, Scharlachrot feels a draw towards her "creators" sometimes, including Scarlet. Visiting her a few times, but not getting to spend extended time with her, Scharlachrot would love to spend more time with her "Parent", even if it means transforming her dreamself into a child for days and negatively impacting her thoughts!

But in the hopes that one day it might, she allows Pompeon to visit her as much as she desires.
The Pumpkin Jester heard tales of a Wintery Princess with a "Heart of Ice" that felt nothing, and the sheer thought of a fae suffering, unable to feel or even laugh at anything broke her heart! She took it upon herself to be the one to bring a smile to Lucille, and began visiting her often, trying everything, jokes, tricks, subversions, anything to bring a smile to the girl's face. She also just likes being around her!
And while she's so far failed to make Lucille smile, she won't rest until she helps the Rime Princess feel something again!

Ichika was one of the many people that Maxime met while on one of his "Adventures" in the Mortal Realm, while she fell hook, line, and sinker for his usual tricks, he found her charming and cute personality very appealing, and rather than punish her for doing something wrong, he wanted to spend more time with her.

Juufaha frankly doesn't understand why Indess despises them so much! They are both dreams borne of Gluttony, they're both very sweet, and they're both very huggable, so why does Indess not like them?
They keep rambling about "work being undone", but all Juufaha is doing is their job of making people feel better about themselves... every time they ask Indess what they ddi wrong, they just get distant!
Oh well, they don't want to be Indess' enemy, in fact, they'd like to be their friend somehow, but Nightmares and Dreams sometimes have a hard time getting along...
Indess is constantly attempting to "Resonated" with a dreamers soul to make them be affected in the real world, time and time again, they have come so very close...
Only for Juufaha to beat them to it and undo all this work, because of this, Indess loathes Juufaha with every fiber of their being, and has been attempting to thwart them themself, but they have never came close.
Despite the fact Juufaha wants to be their friend, they could never be friends with such a saccharine sweet dream!

Huo created Sachi with a very small essence of their power, though it quickly regenerated, the connection between them and Sachi is unbreakable and will last forever.
In a way, Sachi could be considered Huo's "Daughter", and because of this, is very protective and loving of her.

They also appreciate the vision of other worlds that Sachi provides!
Sachi is completely unaware that Huo is her "Parent", as far as she is concerned, he is simply a very helpful spirit who is deeply connected and bonded to her, she adores and loves the Pink Owl, and all the help they provide, especially since it's allowed her to cheat death numerous times, but she tries not to bother them unless it's needed, especially since that usually leads to a scolding!
