An old friend, one considered close despite the time that has passed. Not without her bitterness toward, far outweighed by appreciation and trust. Brings an ease with her that soothes the raptoress for the Ghost that will always be dear to her.
Still one of her best friends in the Ghost's heart • Despite time passing by, Nat-Nat always considered Greitai's as a part of her pack, and as her best friend so far. Really hopes to get closer to her in order to get acquainted with the new Greitai, and to get a preview of her current life. Sincerely feeling guilty about the fact she sort of 'abandoned' her.
Didn't think much of her at first, but has grown more protective and affectionate toward as time has gone on. Likes to fuss over her, enjoys trying to bring out her feisty side.
Mama Grei. She's fun but scary sometimes. Likes her anyway, she gives me grooms and her feathers are fluffy. Learning to be rough by her. She also purrs or tries to. Cling.
An old, dear friend. Comfortable and trusted company. Aware of, though not privy to, his complexities, doesn't hold them against him.
i have bugs. you would like? bug?
'Beetle', 'Cher'.
Giver of the scorpion that's often with her, which she christened 'Buggy'. The cool older kid Mali wants very much to impress, and one she unabashedly looks up to. Also the one who taught her to give people a lot of space when meeting them. Sigh.
Though uncertain about at first, has settled into a gentle dislike. Aware of his closeness to Yasu, and while that piques her interest, it doesn't make her more tolerant of his antics. Not to say there isn't some element of their interactions that she enjoys, but doesn't think they're on the same page about some things.
Knows Ashira and Yasu have some sort of friendship, one he admittedly hoped to be included in... at first. Finds much more entertaining when the white sphinx sends her off running just by merely existing nearby. Needs to remind himself to not overdo it and though that is fun enough, sometimes just wished she would eventually stop and actually sit with him.
i shall never forget the way you spun yourself into your grave. 10/10
gotta go fast gotta go go go go
Came to the Swanlace's aid, alongside Hesther, and has since kept Liange in her thoughts on her visits to the forest. Doesn't know well, but feels a quiet fondness for Liange all the same and continues to seek her company when the opportunity arises.
Despite not yet knowing Laoise on a deeper level, Liange has felt a strong sense of safety and comfort in her presence ever since they first met—a giant in the Endless Forest had set his sights on the vulnerable angel and not allowed her to escape until she was rescued by both the Aetherial and her significant other, Hesther. The Swanlace has always filled with joy each time Laoise has shared her company since.
every word out of your mouth makes me want to punch someone. keep talking.
Have you considered.... *~*Therapy*~*?
you've always loved to hate me but i can't WAIT for you to ALSO hate to love me now
bold of you to assume i won't find a way to continue completely loathing you...
A match for her energy, full of sass and vigour. Enjoys her company immensely.
volatile, the closest thing she has to a friend - a volcano ready to erupt and Salem will bask in the overflow
An unspoken connection to a shared past, though has been content to let those memories fade and blur with time and distance. Enjoys his antics and company despite this and considers him an absolute riot. Considers their friendship a loose one and refreshing for what it is.
The last remaining connection and memory he has to a past, but besides that genuinely likes a lot. Finds her chaotic and thrilling
Little sister. Won't admit to finding her utterly adorable but does love quietly and distantly. Only she can bully Ween!!
Elder sister. Loved and looked up to, perhaps to an annoying extent at times. Coming for your place as cutest srry xo
'Ineffable', 'Effie'. Drawn to from a young age over perceived similarities. Fond of and finds a grounding quality to the doe's presence.

From the beginning of River's existence, the Harpy has been irrevocably paramount in her evolution. Loyal to even in the face of disapproval from others over the years, Greitai is loved and valued dearly; River would bleed for her without hesitation. || ❝𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑦 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑎 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑛.

Newest daughter, unconditional love and joy. Nova.
Mother, universe. Moon's glow. Loved.
'Watcher'. Known from birth, he has always been family. Guided by the old hart's wisdom in her youth and, though she craved his approval, rebelled against the majority of his advice. In time, learned that she could never mold her life to fit someone else's ideals. No longer conflicted over many aspects of their relationship and has come to a place where she can appreciate him for the things that frustrated her (and still do, at times) in her youth - content in the understanding they have of one another. Comforted and content in his presence as long as he sticks around and of the acceptance both have found in this arrangement.
Present for and bonded since Stria's birth, he witnessed a good portion of her growth in her early days before his increased absences, and considers her a daughter. Though he's not always been the fondest of her decisions in company or life progress, he's always supported her the best he can even where he cannot understand her. Regardless of his concerns, she's grown to be more physically capable even than he, and he's finally come to realize she does not need his protection anymore; regardless, whether she wants it or not, she still has it. She is constantly there to press at him and force him to face the world, encounter new things, and challenge old ideas; he is there to impart his own knowledge upon her and guide her where he can, if needed, though not always wanted. It is no longer about what he should do for her, and is instead about what they will do for one another.
Though once viewed as entertaining, now harbours resentment toward. Doesn't entirely hate; values the role Saro endeavoured to provide to Ross, but is immensely bitter about everything surrounding the circumstances.
Doesn't hate, but does think her behavior toxic and literally ridiculous, reminds her too much of similar others she has dealt with in the past. Happy to avoid for her own mental health, but willing to protect others from her. Disliked but not committed to causing issues with in the end.
Disliked. Often retains a somewhat lighter air around him to keep their skirmishes from tipping into more lethal displays. Opinion soured by a few events in particular, steady and assured in her assumptions. Finds he meets her expectations, or even exceeds them, more often than not. Thinks very lowly of.
...
Target. Thinks little of her beyond being an outlet for anger.
Huntress. Fear. Danger. Attempted to use diplomacy and words to get the feathercrest to cease attacks on her. Grew tired of fearing the raptor at every sight or scent of her. Conversation went horribly and was awoken to some hard truths and warped world views. Attacked by after the conversation and badly maimed. Enemy.
