This is where I've listed the most important dynamics between the characters, I'll add more later if I missed any. Don't worry about reading the whole thing, it's kinda a lot and you only really need the bit that applies to a specific pairing (both sides described in one paragraph to make things easier)

Ships:

  • Beach Babes : Carilly   Beck 
    • Carilly thinks Beck is the coolest gal to have ever existed and initially she's so starstruck she can barely talk to the cab driver until she builds up the courage to befriend her. Her crush on the tall blonde only grows ever stronger after Carilly leaves Earth, the two of them lightyears apart. Once Carilly returns, she gives in and asks Beck out. Little did she expect is that the feelings are mutual, Beck's just a lot better at hiding them and staying cool. Carilly adores her to no end, doing whatever she can to make her feel loved. Beck's sense of style ends up rubbing off on Carilly too.
    • Beck thinks it's Carilly who's the prettiest and coolest girl in the universe and she just needs a lil' push to realize just how cool she really is. Beck hypes Carilly up wherever she goes and loves to see Carilly get  flustered but Carilly's managed to return the favor on occasion (she has  to try really hard not to blush when she sees Carilly flex after the  latter returns from her training in space.)
    • Their favorite hangout spot is the beach.

  • Lovebugs : Juno     Vy
    • A pirate and a bounty hunter. Both madly in love but both refuse to admit it, Vy out of shyness and Juno out of pride, the latter putting up a tough front. The pirate hates how she makes her blush whenever they fight and how the other crewmates poke fun at her for it. "That idiot bounty hunter," she calls her. She doesn't want to show her softer side. 
    • Vy falls in love with Juno at first sight but is just. Terrible at  winning her over... She's incredibly nice to Juno despite her being a  space pirate. Eventually, she gives up, but to her surprise Juno seek her out, genuinely missing her.

  • Lensa  Chersey
    • Lensa met Chersey in space prison, after the latter got framed by Brooke and caught. Ever since then, they've gone on countless adventures together. They help each other out while working on machines and tech. Lensa was initially interested in her as more of a technological  anomaly, though even in the beginning she though Chersey was kinda cute, but Chersey's overwhelming charm, incredible intelligence, and bubbly  energy eventually led to Lensa developing feelings for her. Chersey is the first person Lensa has been able to forge a lasting close relationship with, always able to keep up with her and never getting tired of her antics. Lensa also helped Chersey with her identity crisis, when the latter lamented the fact that she was "artificial."

  • Hawkmoths : Winona  Iana
    • Winona found Iana digging through her trash and it was love at first sight. Okay, well, not really, not right away. Winona offers Iana a place to stay (partially because she was curious about her being a Kaiju), and Iana winds up helping her around the lab. Winona winds up being the first person Iana talks to about her past and how she fears her true strength. Not long after that, they go on their first date.)
    • Iana's courage inspires Winona to be braver as well, going as far as to build herself power armor and use it to fight evil side by side with Beck and Carilly. At the same time,  Winona helps Iana integrate into society a bit more.

Closest friends:
  • Carilly   Bevvy
    • Friends since elementary school, though they separated at the end of it for a while when Bevvy had to move out with her family. When she returned roughly a decade later, she found Carilly struggling with her life and helped her out, landing her a camerawoman gig at her news network. Bevvy used to protect Carilly from bullies once Lrene was no longer there to scare them away, now she keeps Carilly from making horrible decisions and biting off more than she can chew. On the other hand, Carilly is always willing to lend Bevvy an ear and listen to what troubles her.
    • They spend a lot of time together, especially on earth, be it  exercising, going shopping or to the beach, playing video games or  saving the world. Carilly is initially the only person Bevvy ever  accepts hugs from.

  • Carilly   Winona
    • Met at a comic book club in high school, but their friendship has survived long past that, Winona often dropping by while Carilly was struggling with her freelance sewing business, even helped fix her equipment and upgraded it for her, all the while doing her best to cheer Carilly up. Her and Carilly have a lot of overlap in interests: comic books, super heroes and fighting crime, space and aliens. The two love to goof off together as well. The main difference between them is Carilly knows little about tech while Winona isn't much of a martial artist, but they're eager to help each other out.

  • Chersey     Winona
    • Two absolute nerds who, when they join forces, no feat of science is impossible (especially if Lensa joins in). They go on for entire HOURS talking about technology and sharing information, sometimes resulting in Winona losing a night of sleep. Chersey helps Winona finally build that power armor that she had been struggling to make, finally letting Winona take part in taking out bad guys directly.

  • Chersey    Carilly
    • Chersey looks up to her like nobody else in the universe, easily her #1 fangirl. Chersey loves her as if she were her own big sister and vice versa. Carilly wants to teach her everything about Earth, as well as help train her in martial arts, though Beck has to join in for that latter one.

Rivals/frenemies:

  • Juno   Carilly
    • Juno looks down at Carilly, first for being the younger sister of a rogue ex-crewmate, then for how poor of a fighter she is, and finally for how different their ideas on how to solve problems are. She fights Carilly constantly, as if taking out her anger towards Lrene on her, and initially wins every time. After being trained by none other than Sergns, however, Carilly begins to surpass the space pirate, at which point Juno does start to respect her as a warrior. They never quite become true friends, but they do learn to genuinely enjoy fighting each other.
  • Lensa   and Bevvy  
    • The unstoppable force (Lensa) vs. the immovable object (Bevvy). Lensa loves messing with Bevvy, who finds her an absolute menace. Lensa wanted to be her friend from the very beginning, in spite of Bevvy  starting off distant and distrustful. Whenever Bevvy would be in  trouble, she'd always offer assistance, and although Bevvy would  initially decline, dire circumstances turned them into close allies.  Lensa thought Bevvy had come down with something when the latter started  returning her hugs.
  • Lensa   and Vy    
    • Similar case as with Bevvy. They have a very Tom and Jerry-esque dynamic, with Vy constantly being on Lensa's tail and Lensa weaseling her way out of Vy's grasp, but if something happened to either they'd miss each other.

Other friends:

  • Carilly       Lensa
    • From the very beginning Lensa was adamant about befriending  her, and  even flirted with her on occassion (though it didn't lead to anything.) Her high  energy and excitement caught Lensa's eye, and from that  point on she'd  always try to pull her into her adventures, and Carilly  is eager to explore the universe with her in spite of how dangerous it  can get. Although Carilly's no engineer, she loves  cool tech almost as  much as Lensa, and could listen to her ramble or  watch her work for  hours. She does agree to go on adventures with her,  though she wishes  Lensa were a little bit more careful and stopped  trying to steal  things.

  • Carilly   Vy 
    • Vy initially captures Carilly, thinking she's Lrene (her sister btw), a notorious space pirate. She quickly realizes that something doesn't add up and sets her free. Carilly likewise mistakes Vy for someone she isn't. She thinks Vy is a righteous space vigilante, when in reality she's just a mercenary. Vy doesn't want to break this illusion and disappoint Carilly, the purple-haired girl being her first friendship she had made in a long time.

  • Carilly   Iana
    •  Carilly actually meets her before Winona does. Iana defeats Carilly at a local martial arts tournament and ever since then Carilly's wanted a (friendly) rematch. She's in awe of Iana's strength and wants to learn more about her. Later on, Iana even hires her now and then to be her camerawoman for her movies.

  • Chersey    Beck
    • Chersey looks up to Beck just as much as Carilly, though they  wind up with more of a mentor-student dynamic, Beck is just so cool!  Chersey wants to impress Beck with her progress and make her feel proud, and Beck IS proud. Chersey also likes Beck's hair.

  • Bevvy       Winona
    • They met each other through Carilly. They've got a bit of a sibling-esque dynamic, though more of the "playfully calling eachother names" variety. Neither are as close with each other as they are with Carilly, though.

  • Bevvy       Juno 
    • They don't start off on a great note as Bevvy doesn't   appreciate  how hostile Juno is towards Carilly, but once the pirate chills out they kinda sorta become book buddies. Juno is surprised to find that Bevvy's just as big of a bookworm as she is, she didn't take Bevvy for a reader, but it's nice to meet someone with that same interest after years away from university.

  • Bevvy       Chersey
    • Bevvy intimidated Chersey even more than Beck did, and yet, she was a  close friend of Carilly's so she can't be that bad, right? Once Chersey  worked up the courage to hang around her, she'd come around to help her  with not only gardening, but also research for her short stories. Bevvy can't help but see some of Carilly in her.

  • Winona        Beck
    • Cousins. The two are a vigilante duo, though Winona mostly takes the back seat  and provides Beck with equipment. She hopes to one day build herself some power armor and fight side-by-side with her.

  • Beck   Iana
    • They're not close but they like to chill  with a soda now and then. Two girls who say bruh and drink soda.  Whenever these two interact it feels like they share some sort of a  telepathic link, as they speak to each other sparsely in short sentences  or just nod at each other, yet there seems to be an understanding  between the two.

  • Iana          Lensa
    • They get along pretty well once  they meet. Lensa often gets Iana to test out her tech, going as far as  to have Pacific Rim-esque mech vs Kaiju battles for fun. Oh, and they  both enjoy punk and heavy metal.
