Aloe has always felt that Olivander is her sweet child, one who was too pure for the world. As a pup she would go on long walks with him and imparted all of her gardening knowledge to him. She was a bit sad to see him deny his gentle nature as he grew older, but she never stopped encouraging him. She knows that inside, he's still her loving little pup.
Olivander feels a bit smothered by his mom's doting, although he secretly appreciates spending so much time with her. Aloe encouraged his gentler nature even when he decided he wanted to be a tough guy, and was always first to comfort him when things went wrong. He loves his mother dearly.
Vera has a soft spot for her little brother. As much as he tries to act tough, she knows that he's more of a (kinda wimpy) flower child. She does everything in her power to let him stay that way.
Olivander has always admired how strong his older sister Vera is when dealing with other keldines. He has tried to model some of his behavior after hers with limited success. He knows that if he's ever in trouble, Vera will have his back.
Similar to Azalea, Aloe's quite peaceful and enjoys quieter environments. Aloe's particularly well versed in plant care, but otherwise of only average intelligence - she can't always keep up with Azalea. However, Aloe is a bit of a curious sort, so she enjoys hearing about topics Azalea knows a lot about and hearing Azalea's opinions on things. She doesn't butt up against Azalea's stubbornness too much, usually just letting things go (except plant care - then Azalea can fight her about it). Aloe frequently gets book recommendations from Azalea, knowing they will be high quality. The two are overall quite good friends.
Azalea and Aloe get along well because they have similar personalities. Azalea is really stubborn and set in her ways. Aloe is pretty tolerant of her, so they don’t fight. Azalea loves to learn so she will sit for hours listening to Aloe tell her about plants. She likes to hear different points of view so she can expand her knowledge on issues in the world. The two of them love to read together. Aloe and Azalea are really good friends. They are both similar and different, but still complimentary.
Eira finds Iris to be a bit on the bubbly and reckless side for her taste, but Iris was one of Eira's few friends when she was small, so she has a bit of a soft spot for Iris. They don't talk as much as they used to but Eira trusts Iris and almost always answers her calls.
Iris thinks that Eira can be a bit of a bore (she needs to adventure more!), but they were childhood friends and Iris still considers them close. She likes to check in on Eira in the city every so often, and tries to encourage her to come visit.
