Younger brother. Delights in teasing and making fun of him, very loved despite that.
Elder Sister. Loves. R00d but imma show her friends that i'm the most cool
Attacked by as a fawn for reasons she could never understand. Returned the favour once grown, pinned the buck down and held him. No longer holds ill-feelings toward, though somewhat wary of.
Got bothered by when the female was still a fawn, getting irritated enough to attack her. Scared her off but only for long enough it took for the hind to grow drastically in size (read: got fat af) and was returned the treatment by her pinning him down with her weight. Stays away from now, but not without giving a serious stinky eye.
A periodic presence known throughout his time in the forest. Enjoys her company and how finnicky she occasionally comes of to him. Often find her amusing.
A steadfast, stalwart presence, known for most of her life. In her youth, considered him only the Stone Balancer's 'boring' friend. As she's grown, come to appreciate the confident, stoic exterior he projects.
A cherished old friend. Grateful to be able to trust her and for the support always offered by the Starkeeper. Kindred spirit.
Charge.
A strong individual who's had more than her fair share of suffering. Though scarce, still adored by the raptoress.
A complicated obsession, but adored through and through. Believes her mind to be among the very deepest and most complex he's ever known, and treasures every word and every poetic metaphor and every verbal symbolism that stumbles out of her and paints imagery so alarmingly vivid and profound in his own mind that he can often FEEL it. He believes in her fragility, but has never believed that it defines her or is all she is comprised of. There exists a certain morbidity in her that he's excruciatingly aware of and drawn to, and he seeks to know it as wholly as he can and even foster its growth and development wherever possible. He is intent on 'infiltrating her mind', a sentiment he has directly expressed to her in the past. Monroe is convinced Talla has some kind of untapped potential only he may be able to eventually access or guide her toward whilst everybody else seems too busy believing she must be utterly protected and coddled and sheltered—he's under the impression that too few others believe her to be as capable as he does. As highly impacted as he's been by a number of meaningful and significant exchanges they've shared over time, the 'safety' from the worst of him that it all grants her simultaneously puts her in the greater 'danger' that is the natural result of his fondness... and he has become so very fond of the blood butterfly.
Morbid fascination, an exploratory relationship on her end. Ross' friend. wordsplx
A pearl in the ocean he once frequented. She is one of the few he keeps a keen eye out for whenever he dives back in.
Kinship. Evokes feelings of nostalgia, deeply curious of.
An old, dearly loved friend. An irrevocable part of her life, even years after Alma's disappearance.
Make me believe I can change.
A relationship strained by Alma's own disappearance and distance, but never broken. Protect.
Echoes into current timelines as out of place memories.
Remembered dimly, but still affected by. Had a violent altercation with in her younger days, an impulsive action that could have ruined her life in a new world before it had begun.
You wanna know how I got these scars?
Almost killed by in an intense brawl that Alma barely remembers.
Residual trauma, bled across worlds and lives.
Love turned obsession. A monumentally important relationship, the first in which Asta had ever felt true kinship and understanding, for another to see the world as she does. Whole-heartedly believed they were perfect for one another and shared an intense relationship with Fionnait. Handled their break-up badly to say the least, resorting to desperate measures before cutting all ties and moving far away. A source of longing and hatred at once. Thought of often.
Broken tie. Moving on, but tied to still.
The most passionate and intense love affair she's had to date, though perhaps in part because she was young and naive. Kinship, similarity--broken when Asta did some very stupid things and nearly got Fionnait in bad trouble. Tie broken when Asta proceeded to stalk her, horrifying Fionnait and turning love into fear and anger.
Friend! Drawn to his world-weirdness. Also, snacks and pats.
Is this a pigeon meme but 'is this a dog?' instead
"Perihelion." Literally the woman of her dreams. Eclipse. Girlfriend; adored and entranced by.
The halo of light around the eclipsed sun.
Girlfriend, adored. Would break time and space for.
you seem familiar
Hey I just met you and this is crazy, but you're like really weirdly familiar and I feel like I know you? Have a danish.
'Mushroom'. Child-figure. Adored for similarities and differences alike, as well as their spitfire of a personality. Proud of them in more ways than she can properly express.
Mom-figure.
Loved, in their own way. Indulged by, often given what they need without asking. Originally hurt by the birth of her children, has grown to love them as siblings and enjoy the large family.
Does what they can to take care of both Freya and Stria.
Though at times frustrating, came to be very fond of "Fogkissed" - or Kur, as she named them. Felt herself to be something of a guardian for them, in a vague sense.
Gifter of their amulet. Brightness in the dark, curiousity, affection.
'Bubbles'. Sisterly relationship. At ease around, brings out an air of silliness in the amalgam. Trusted, though worried for at times, endeavours to be there as much as she can without being overbearing. A subtle shadow at her heels, a shuck in the fog.
'Shira'. Adored, seen as a sibling. Completely ridiculous around her, often finding they bring out the goofiness in each other. Trusted and admired implicitly. Would bite someone for, and has threatened to do as much. To this day, still treasures the paper and crayons Ashira gifted her.
Daughter. Treasure and meaning; a source of endless pride and disappointment. Their relationship is one full of contradictions and love with no place to go. Blind to many things regarding her daughter, including who Vrasa has grown up to be. Distancing herself from after a conversation that convinced her of certain actions that need to be taken. Missed, at times aggressive toward.
Biological mother. Beloved. Loves without limitations, though trusts with some caveats; 'mama'. An unbreakable bond of loyalty and adoration from Vrasa's end, though she feels she has learned not to expect the same in return.
A source of indelible, intimate pain and undying love in varying amounts. A complicated relationship that's taught her to be the peacemaker and imbued her with many other lessons, both harmful and helpful -- much like the raptoress herself is.
Distancing herself from after a conversation that seemed to cement some truths she always feared, and a chase that left her with lingering horror and hurt.
Best friend. 'Figment', 'Figgy'. Trusted and beloved. Understanding and acceptance found in spades. Her closest confidante outside of family, in some ways even more than. Most herself in the other's company. Endlessly proud of their little joint venture, always striving to keep up her end, and covers for Hlin when she can.
Solace. Best friend, connection. Loved. 'Slim', 'Witch'.
Quiet, respite, and understanding. Comforting silence and unspoken, mutual love. Feels effortlessly herself with, though prone to spates of jealousy and anxiety about. However, trusted far beyond her usual trust (of none), and feels a great freedom with.
Many thoughts and feelings coalesce in regard to Hlin. Feels the blame put on her to be unfair, but doesn't entirely absolve herself of guilt. Attempted to reach out to on her return, and after constant rebuffs, feels she has met and exceeded the remainder of her duty toward her bond with Hlin - and has ensured relevant parties are aware of where they stand. Even still, can't quite extricate herself from caring for Hlin's welfare.
A broken tie.
Hurt by her long disappearance. Locked her out of her life until the girl came back one day. Unwilling to let her back in and spits in the face of any attempts to apologize.
Stifles guilt and a quieter desire to have the sibling bond with Morgen she always wanted, but never could quite get.
Complicated and mixed feelings. Convinced she can help him become a better version of himself.
Sought out a refuge in her after multiple occasions where he felt her viewpoint in life agreed with his own in a supportive way. Actually noticed himself wanting to follow her lead and through his deep sown need for love and care, ended up calling her a mother. Someone to follow and someone to comfort him.
Trusted and dear friend - until he 'proved' himself no different from anyone else and she forcibly cut ties. Longs for the healthy friendship that grew between them, though suffocates this with reasons conjured from her own traumas.
Immensely curious about when first finding The Endless Forest. Worked hard to get her attention and after a year found a friend in her. Does not understand why she suddenly started walking away from him instead of to him. Misses their talks.
Mutually beneficial relationship. A breath of fresh air, the sharp sting of a fresh cut. Would you say it's a 'knife' collection?
Some wild bitch with a neat knife collection.
