OOC: RELATIONSHIPS.
CR Chart
Allen Walker ; The Unwilling Brother.
Allen Walker pisses Rhode Kamelot off. It's not a bad thing, necessarily -- it's just so damn difficult for her to sum up exactly how she feels about him. She adores him, loves him, has to keep him safe beyond rational thought or recognition -- but she hates him for those very same reasons. He offered a hand of compassion despite everything she had ever done to him and his stupid band of Exorcist friends -- and, for that, Allen is sufficiently stuck with her. He is the only person in Nesreca that she can trust to remain at her side and not kill her -- and he, though he protests it, is family to her. She would kill for him, take blows for him, and do anything to ensure his safety while they remain trapped in Nesreca. They have been an unusual team since Rhode's arrival in Nesreca, attempting to plan a way to take control back of the city, and Rhode doesn't foresee that changing anytime soon. She looks at Allen as a constant -- a stability of sorts in this tumultuous world and, at the moment, the only family Rhode has in Nesreca.
Kanda Yuu ; The Stubborn Annoyance
Rhode has no feeling of attachment to Kanda other than 'a fun toy' -- though her patience is slowly being stretched by the Exorcist's constant need to watch her. If it were up to her, she would have run a candle through his throat to watch him die a long time ago -- but thanks to Allen and his truce with whatever Noah may arrive, Kanda's life has been spared...for now. She doesn't particularly care one way or another for him, other than the fact that she wants him dead. Which, really, makes him just like every other Exorcist in the world.
Lavi ; The Conflicted Toy
Out of all of Allen's little friends, Rhode knows the most about Lavi, thanks to her foray into his mind during their time aboard the Ark. In Nesreca, though, her attitude towards him has been mostly playful, a mild sort of taunting that she has kept in check because of the truce with Allen. Lavi is intelligent, dangerous, and powerful -- all things Rhode values. And, out of all of the people in Nesreca, Lavi is the only one who has managed to kill her within her Dream World -- which makes him a threat. For now, though, Rhode seems pretty content to leave the Exorcist alone outside of taunting, teasing, and mild torment -- until he crosses a line.
Lenalee Lee; The Pretty Doll
Rhode actually likes Lenalee, at least a little bit. She's pretty, one of the few girls in Nesreca, and she's particularly fun to tease and torment, especially with where she's from in their timeline. Rhode takes delight in rubbing Lenalee's failures in her face, but won't raise a finger to her unless Lenalee attacks her first. There's the tiniest streak of jealously within Rhode, concerning Allen -- in that Lenalee will always be closer to Allen than she ever will be, given their situation and just who they are -- but Rhode won't ever say that out loud to the Exorcist.
Alma Karma; The Impossible Child
Alma's existence pisses Rhode off, because he shouldn't be alive or human. However, Rhode takes a special sort of fun in making nice with Alma, mostly because she knows it tortures Kanda and drives him up a wall when he sees them having fun and acting like normal children. On the surface, Rhode acts like something of a playmate to Alma -- building snowmen, coaxing Alma into breaking rules, being a general bad influence -- but Alma is one of the cards Rhode has up her sleeve -- because she knows what happens to the small child. And boy, does she love holding it over everyone else's head whenever they step a toe out of line towards her.
Alma Karma; The Unwilling Slave
The Akuma. Rhode's favorite toy and latest pet. This Alma is different from the one that Rhode remembers, in her world -- he feels different, slightly different, though she has no idea why or how. He seems intent on killing Kanda, which Rhode is completely okay with, but as for how he exists... well, Rhode doesn't particularly care. Alma is an Akuma, and Rhode fully intends on using him to her advantage. After all, Rhode is a Noah, and Akuma are her slaves -- and if Alma doesn't like it, then she only has two words for him: self-destruct.
The Fawn ; The Bizarre Clockworker.
Fawn is a weirdo -- but Rhode doesn't particularly mind his existence. He's bizarre, somewhat childish, and is a little too nice for his own good -- but what Rhode likes about Fawn the most is that tiny edge of insanity the young man has to him. It's unique, interesting, and far less boring than everyone else in this stupid city. Rhode has no idea who this person is or what his backstory is -- but she is curious to know more about what makes him tick. No pun intended.
Kairi ; The Teaparty Buddy.
Rhode doesn't really know anything about Kairi except for the fact that she's friends with Riku and that large mouse that used to be in Nesreca. However, this means nothing to Rhode, because Kairi seems to believe her 'woe, I am a little girl!' story hook, line, and sinker. She enjoys Kairi's company, for the most part, as a girly friend that offers some of the distraction that Rhode needs in order to keep content in Nesreca. Past that, though, Rhode could care less about her existence.
Riku ; Resident Emo Kid
Riku is boring. He has some tortured past, he loves his friends too much, he struggles with Darkness -- Rhode could really care less about him. The most he is to Rhode is a fun little toy -- she knows her evil twin prodded through his head during an event and it's taken all of her self-control not to pry into his head to see what torments him herself. He seems to realize that she's not just a little girl, which sort of pisses her off, but not enough to kill him. Yet, anyway.
Karkat Vantus ; The Rude Troll
Rhode wants to punch Karkat in the face on a daily basis. He's annoying, rude, loud-mouthed, and above all else, a good person. Rhode detests most everything about him, including his condescending little hero schtick -- which, as much as Karkat acts otherwise, Rhode sees from a mile away. She doesn't know much about Karkat except for the fact that he's obviously not human. You'd think this would make her like him more. Nope.
