*Relationships*
Ruka: best friend since they were young - admires her optimism and creativity, and is inspired by her love of all things--at the same time, she's disappointed by her shallowness and concerned about her inconsistent mind.
Kiro: boyfriend/ex - close childhood friend, turned boyfriend, turned ex... she breaks up with him shortly after getting her power. Used to think the world of him (that he was so cool, such a cuddly sweetheart, funny as hell ;__; ) ... then she realized what a pig he actually is.
Mamoru: cousin - looks up to like an older brother, relies on (he babysits her siblings often), cares about deeply - one of her absolute favorite people
Hana: cousin - enjoys her company and passions, though she can be a bit much sometimes; thinks of her as a much younger sister (even though they're close in age, their maturity levels are vastly different)
Shiden: cousin - they've grown more distant since facing their own family tragedies, but they have a deep spiritual understanding of each other; can enjoy long comfortable silences together.
Fiala: classmate, friend by association - dislikes her for how rude and talkative she is; brought down by her negative vibes, but deals with it. Or used to.
Holly: classmate, friend by association - thought of her as Fiala's "shadow" and judged her as a snob who thinks they're better than everyone..... then she could read her mind, and now she's invested in Holly's emotions and this whole secret world of love and misery she never could've imagined.
Ash: acquaintance - gets to know him better over the course of the story and he grows to be her closest friend; appreciates his honesty, perspective, and tastes
Yasmin: acquaintance - hardly knows her...
