SAME CANON
✘ BEATRICE USHIROMIYA
Sob, sob, sob.
Lion has an ocean of mixed feelings regarding this Beatrice. On one side, well, there is the whole mother issue. On the other side, there is knowing the exact background and history of Beatrice's life.
Lion sincerely wants to see her happy and free, in order for her to fulfill the wishes she had long ago. Lion really worries about her health and safety, however, and does whatever is possible to teach her useful things to avoid more problems.
She is slowly moving towards "little sister" status, which is a little awkward for Lion considering everything. But well, we shall get used.
fathersbeloved ★★★★★★★★☆☆
✘ KINZO USHIROMIYA
Lion doesn't know what the hell to do with this.
Grandfather arriving wasn't a ridiculous option after all the people that was here, but a grandfather that is fourty years younger than the normal one is a bit difficult to get used to.
Lion understands that Bice is still alive, and that means the past can still be changed. However telling Kinzo about this so soon is a bad idea, as Lion knows he won't react well to the news. Because of this Lion has decided to wait a bit to tell the whole story.
So far it's fine with Kinzo thinking that Lion's father is another person, and that the Kuwadorian Beatrice has nothing to do with this at all. However an explanation will come sooner than later.
And no, Lion doesn't mind not existing in whatever Fragment Kinzo goes back to when leaving Johto, as long as everyone is saved.
pastsanity ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
✘ MARIA USHIROMIYA
Lion adores Maria too. She's pretty much the same as the little cousin Lion remembers but with more Beatrice talk.
Lion was always used to Maria talking about witches and being creepy, so that's A-ok. Seeing Maria easily accept Lion's existence without a need for further explaining was in a way very comforting.
Spending all this time with Maria is completely awesome for Lion. She's the sweetest (if creeepy) girl, and Lion really strives to help her have the best possible time while in Johto.
All the recent disappearances have been a little disheartening, but Lion is doing the best possible to keep her happy and to spend as much time as possible with her.
uuing ★★★★★★★★☆☆
✘ SAKUTARO
Maria's friend, "little brother" and furniture, Lion considers Sakutaro an important part of Maria's life, which means that Lion will also care for Sakutaro as much as possible.
They don't have that much direct interaction, but Lion knows that Sakutaro is the moe-est lionplushie ever a nice and kind personlionthingie.
usedgao ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
✘ WILLARD H. WRIGHT
Oh, Will.
Even if he is terrible with words and too blunt Lion right now trusts Will with his/her/it's life. Seeing Will alive was a big relief, and at the same time a confirmation that Johto has some serious superpowers going on.
There is probably some lingering guilt about having taken Will away from his cat and his retirement, but Lion really can't talk about that to Will himself, at least not right now. Lion is also stupidly happy of seeing that Johto had the niceness of returning Will's arm (probably just as much as Lion is thankful of no longer having a BLEEDING hole in the chest).
All of this means that Lion will still buttpinch the hell out of Will if needed. Lion will also take care of Will, as he seems to lack self preservation instinct when some things are involved.
Oh, and Will's pokémon are terribly spoiled. No, no.
buttpinched ★★★★★★★☆☆
✘ ANGE USHIROMIYA (dropped)
Lion's first encounter with a grown up Ange is attached to a lot of bad memories. Lion doesn't really know if Bernkastel's word on the culprits for the Rokkenjima murders is to be trusted, but Lion does remember Ange's reaction to that truth.
With that on mind, Lion will be wary of telling her the version of the truth the other Ange saw, and will probably abstain from going too deep into discussions regarding the witches and the catbox.
With Johto being away from death, catboxes and Rokkenjima, Lion wants to get closer to whatever members of the family are here, especially since going back home to meet the versions Lion knew is out of the question.
In the end, Ange is Lion's cousin no matter what Fragment she comes from, and as a part of the family Lion will gladly help her on anything possible.
usedpiece ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
✘ BATTLER USHIROMIYA (dropped)
LION LOVES THIS COUSIN. Even if Battler is still going around with the whole "delusion" thing, Lion saw his past and knows how important it is to keep both truth and catbox safe.
This may not be the cousin Lion remembers from back then when they were tiny and in Rokkenjima, but a cousin is a cousin even if interdimensional and sorcerer, but it sometimes gets a little weird.
Back at home Battler was also rude and an idiot, but sometimes this Battler just doesn't know when to stop and gets really offensive, and that is when Lion reacts badly. Lion understands that this may take time, and is working hard on avoiding getting too angry meanwhile.
At least we are less awkward now xD
veritadorata ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
✘ BEATRICE THE GOLDEN (dropped)
Lion feels a connection to Beatrice even when this Beatrice doesn't really understand who Lion is. Lion has pretty much assumed that this Beatrice does not know the whole story.
When talking to her, she seems to be quite into her own world. Of course as expected she is far more than what meets the eye. Lion actually enjoys the conversations they have, even if Beatrice is in a completely different bandwidth than Lion.
Of course, Lion is very very wary about talking to her about the seventh game and what actually went on during the other games, as that information could both be dangerous or even harmful. Even if this Beatrice doesn't know, Lion's promise to live on is a very important driving force.
endlesswitch101 ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
✘ BERNKASTEL (dropped)
Lion is scared of Bernkastel.
Scared forever.
Not that Lion will ever tell, and certainly there is much hard work to hide that, but having met someone as soulless as her has left quite a nice complex there. Bern will surely be in Lion's nightmares for all eternity unless amnesia hits really really hard.
Knowing that Johto took her powers away helped a little to get over that, but the truth is that Lion will work hard to avoid her whenever possible, and is quite happy that she hasn't taken time to troll the hell out of everyone here.
Even with all of the above, the creation of the Punch Bernkastel in the Face Society is not something Lion agrees on. First of all, it's pointless, and second of all, Lion really wants to leave Bernkastel in the past. We'll find out how that goes xD
wiederholen ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
CROSS-CANON
✘ CID RAINES
Lion and Cid spoke of Tea and Johto. As a matter of fact that's an autowin.
Even when they haven't spoken much, Lion is interested on the kind of world Cid comes from. And Lion is drawn to the sensible people who prefer to take the time to make smart choices.
usedseraphicray ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ CRUZ SCHILD
Cruz is Beatrice's friend, and he has been helping her ever since she got here. That alone would give Lion enough reason to like Cruz.
However they have also had conversations on mystery novels, and on other things. Lion wouldn't mind having more interaction with Cruz, as he seems to be a nice enough person.
crossinggenders ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
✘ COCONA BARTEL
Lion's impression of Cocona is one of the most positive all over.
She is kind, has offered her help and is nice to talk to. Lion can see that she worries for her pokémon, and that she is doing her best during the journey.
Their conversation on her family left Lion a little curious about her past and her world, but there will be no asking until there is more trust between them, since Lion wouldn't like to make her uncomfortable.
photonsaber ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
✘ ELIZABETH MIDDLEFORD
Lion has talked to Elizabeth a few times here and there, and has really enjoyed those little conversations.
She appears to be a kind, determined person, and also she's all for tea and chitchat when they finally meet.
usedpresent ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ HAYATE AYASAKI
Lion thinks very highly of Hayate. Lion sees him as someone who is so dedicated to his duty and always tries to do his best for those close to him, and those are two qualities that Lion really appreciates in people.
ALSO, BUTLERS ARE AWESOME. Joking aside, Lion knows that the work of a good butler requires a lot more than just standing there looking awesome, and Hayate seems to be the kind of person who works hard on what they are doing.
OH MY ARE THOSE MORE STARS?? Yes! Lion really-really looks forward to meeting Hayate in person, and loves chatting with him. And yes, Lion is looking for the Best Tea in Johto for that meeting.
combat_butler ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
✘ KEIICHI MAEBARA
Keiichi was also among the first people Lion spoke to in Johto, and while they haven't talked that much about important things, Lion appreciates Keiichi's view in miracles and his point of view in life.
They have also talked about Bernkastel, and knowing that Keiichi was also involved in one of her games gives Lion a little more insight on his background.
Of course, Lion is ignorant about Keiichi's other sides. We don't know for how much longer that will be, but oh, this could get dangerous.
Also that chat they had on your hypothetical clone going evil and killing people? Lol.
youhavemybat ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ KAITO KUROBA
Lion and Kaito are casual acquaintances, at this point, so Lion doesn't have a strong lasting opinion yet, however so far the image is pretty good.
Kaito asking for someone to help his friend out, and even going to pick her up to Violet, however, left a good impression.
Lion wouldn't mind talking more to him in the future.
bakaitoukid ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ ANEW RETURNER
Lion and Anew are in pretty good terms, but sometimes Lion really wonders what goes trough her head and how her life was before coming to Johto.
Anew seems to worry a lot about her pokémon and their well being, which is always a plus. Lion enjoys talking to her, and feels good about being able to lend a hand when possible.
Finding out about her story, and about her having loved and died like she did, Lion feels a little closer to Anew now, and really really cares for her well being.
cristal_promise ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
✘ SHINN ASUKA
Lion is ok with Shinn. He cares for Maria and Beatrice, and that's a definite plus. Having Shinn offer to fetch psycho Will was also pretty awesome.
Lion may be a little wary on how short Shinn's fuse can be sometimes, but well. You know. Living with Kinzo makes you really tolerant.
swordofimpulse ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
✘ SOUJI SETA
Lion has spoken to Souji a few times here and there, and also purchased some pokemon eggs from him before.
Lion is very interested in this information sharing business, and in the news about a possible breeding and trading center.
In the future, Lion would like to talk to Souji a little more, but at the time, there is totally a business partner here xD
usedeverything ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
DROPPED
✘ HINAGIKU KATSURA
Lion thinks Hinagiku is pretty cool. She's someone that Lion can talk with, and that chat they had in Cherrygrove ended up being pretty wonderful.
Lion sees her as someone who has a good sense of justice, and whose heart is in the right places. However that also means she could someday end up in trouble for getting over herself.
Lion would gladly help her in whatever is possible, and looks forward to them sharing information and maybe meeting again now that Lion is finally moving to Violet.
tsunpresident ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
✘ L/RYUZAKI
Lion appreciates a person who takes their work seriously, and this guy sure takes his breeding very seriously.
For Lion it's always good to find someone who is willing to investigate and share their results, so Lion will gladly text Ryuzaki whenever the situation calls for it.
ALSO, LION-CHAN PFFFF. Lion is always baffled by this, but has pretty much assumed that Ryuzaki is a very eccentric person with the whole talking only in text and stuff.
isthedeadcat ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ NAMIE YAGIRI
Lion sees Namie as a person who has both feet on earth and is a sensible logical human being, at least in Johto but that's more than enough. She is also really devoted to her younger brother.
Those qualities make her awesome in Lion's list.
Before talking to her Lion hadn't really considered asking others how the future was faring, either.
Lion will gladly talk more to her in the future.
usedglare ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ NAPOLEON
Lion has talked to Napoleon a few times, and also met him when he arrived to Cherrygrove and invited him for some soup.
Lion had fun doing some Johto theory time with Napoleon too, and would gladly travel along with him if they happen to leave Cherrygrove at the same time.
withoutanarmy ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ SAWAKO KURONUMA
Lion sees Sawako as a pretty normal person, and that is actually good.
They have talked about awesomely normal topics like school, student council, and clubs. Her comments on trying to help other people have left a good impression too.
She appears to have some trouble with her pokémon, but Lion is pretty sure they can be solved with some patience.
cantseeghosts ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
✘ SUBARU SUMERAGI
Lion quite enjoys talking to Subaru, and they have done so a few times, on different topics.
In Lion's eyes Subaru is one of those persons who can be pretty intelligent and sensible... But also have a list of things that can make them throw that logic out of the window. Lion has no insight on the whole Seishirou thing, but does understand that sometimes, some things are bigger than common sense.
However Lion's caring nature is having hell with Subaru's lack of self preservation instincts. DON'T SAY YOU WILL STAY UNTIL SPRING THEN FREEZE TO DEATH GOING TO VIOLET, YOU WERE SICK NOT LONG AGO SDFLKJDAS. Yeah.
