Decided to make a separate post for this after all, huff. You know the drill; comment here if you've ever interacted with Wriggle, even for one thread, and I'll write up what she thinks of them in this post.
I'll sticky this/make it pretty later.

Cirno
(( Ice Fairy ))
Cirno was always one of Wriggle's friends, and their interactions in Mayfield have only strengthened that relationship; indeed, at this point they're romantically involved. However, they make a childish couple because neither of them really understand the concept of romantic love to begin with. Wriggle only knows that she wants someone to care very deeply for her in a way that she can reciprocate, someone who will give her affection whenever she wants and not spend the same type of attention on anyone else- someone "special". Sadly, this skewed and immature notion aside, the relationship between the fairy and the firefly is hardly all sunshine and rainbows; Cirno has done a lot to hurt Wriggle, from forcing Yuuka Kazami out of her role as a motherly figure in Wriggle's life to trying to keep Wriggle utterly dependent on Cirno at the cost of Wriggle's own confidence and growth. Some part of Wriggle realizes this, and while she does care a huge deal for Cirno....it's come to a point where she's tired of it, angry about it, and determined to end it. She doesn't want to be protected by Cirno anymore if she can help it, but rather become Cirno's equal instead of an object of pity and constant upkeep. In the end, for better or worse, Cirno is Wriggle's most important person; someone she would willingly die for.

Satori Komeiji
(( Mistress of the Palace of Earth Spirits ))
Perhaps the only reason that Wriggle hasn't been cowed by Satori's sharp tongue is that she sees some of herself in the elder Komeiji sister; Wriggle senses that Satori hides how lonely she is behind harsh words, and she finds herself sympathsizing a great deal with Satori. She remembers what it was like to have no friends, to be hated because of something she couldn't help, and she's more than willing to stick with Satori as a friend out of an honest desire to help....even if she only suceeds a little bit.

M a y f i e l d
Maka Albarn
(( Soul Eater ))
The two girls hadn't known each other for very long when they found themselves struggling to stay alive in Wesport. By working together (along with Shizu Shido), Maka and Wriggle fought hunger, thirst, exhaustion and a toxic fog until they began to hope that they would all survive the incident...and then a group of hazmats fell upon them after Maka had just finished sending an important message back to Mayfield. Already dying, Wriggle attacked the hazmats in a kamikaze charge to buy her friends time to escape. But Maka came to the firefly's defense, and for a long time Wriggle regarded the other girl's decision as a type of betrayal; she had died for Maka, and Maka had wasted the sacrifice. It wouldn't be until Sergei Smirnov's appearance in Mayfield that Wriggle would find it within herself to let go of that lingering hurt; after Grady broke her legs, Maka was the one she entrusted with the special papers that Sergei himself had given her. Wriggle has long since considered Maka an important friend, a good person, someone to admire, and now she feels that she can depend on Maka without doubt once again.

Aisling
(( Secret of Kells ))
Wriggle's not!sister. They've been through a lot together in Mayfield, and the firefly is proud to consider her as close as an actual sister. Their personalities aren't very similiar and their worlds are rather different, but none of that seems to matter when they hang out or just talk on the phone. Being a person that Wriggle cares about, she's reluctant to burden Aisling with her own problems, although she would protect the other girl in a heartbeat.
♥♥♥★★★
Alice Hamilton
(( Alice ))
Wriggle's not!mom. Alice has had a positive influence on Wriggle ever since the firefly first arrived in Mayfield, being one of the first humans Wriggle came to know who didn't automatically dislike her for being an insect queen. It's a shame that Wriggle never decided to warm up to her as a mother figure instead of Yuuka Kazami; it could have saved the firefly a lot of heartache. Nevertheless, Alice remains a comforting presence in Wriggle's life, one she wouldn't give up for anything.

Fate T. Harlaown
(( Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ))
Wriggle hasn't known Fate for very long, but she already likes her a great deal; the woman is so friendly and caring that it's hard not to. However, Wriggle is hesitant to accept her as anything more than a friend, as it's hardly been any time at all since her brief, but intense daughter-mother relationship with Yuuka Kazami came to a harsh and painful end. She's also more than a bit leery of relying on Fate to protect her, having already begun her journey to become strong enough to protect herself.
