Izanagi Morrin
This person is the reason I'm writing this thread. At the risk of sounding like a twelve-year-old fangirl (but yes, I'm highkey fangirling here) the scene they had in the Fickle Finger was the best, most emotional scene I have ever had with any character on Arelith in my almost 12 years here. There was rage, sadness, bitterness, a bit of joy, but so much character development. It was such an incredibly emotionally powerful scene. The fact that I was able to bring out THE EDGE was fun, too. That interaction made me question the path that I'm going to take Shiv down, and I'm immensely thankful for having the opportunity to RP with such a fantastic person. Izanagi has so much personality and so much wisdom to impart and I am in legit awe about how real he feels. Isaac Callahan
Siobhan's first 'love' on the island. These two were Chernobyl levels of toxic. Between Siobhan's inability to be self-aware and Isaac's total unpreparedness for the absolute disaster that is Siobhan, their brief relationship was intense and a roller coaster of emotions. 10/10 would romance again.
Liberty
Where do I begin with this one? Siobhan's first friend on the island, and the first person she felt comfortable enough with to lower her guard. Their dynamic is deliciously dysfunctional and I am beyond excited to see where they go in the future.
Tommy Bendt
Siobhan never feels safer than when Tommy's by her side. That and the relationship encourages the absolute worst things out of Siobhan and she loves it. Tommy is wonderfully crass, blunt, and just feels like she might rip your head off if you say the wrong thing. I'm glad Siobhan has never had to be on the wrong side of her blade (or her tongue) and I truly hope she never is. And, as crass as Tommy is, the player is an absolute joy to talk to. Definitely one of the nicest people I've encountered on Arelith thus far.
Najih
10/10 wholesome loverboy carebear. I'm so excited to see how their story develops as he gets to know Shiv better. Najih feels like cleric mom who always has your back and sings you to sleep. On that same note, Najih's songs are *chef's kiss.* The fact that you write them all and can immerse yourself so deeply in the character to appropriately convey whatever the scene requires through written lyrics is super impressive. Also a total sweetheart OOC, highly communicative, and very, very understanding.
GrumpyCat
Incredibly kind person who turned a very negative interaction into a really positive one. Fantastic admin.
Current honorable mentions:
The entirety of the Cordor Guard (I'm so, so very sorry for Siobhan yelling at the poor recruits), Sydril and all of my interactions with the Free Tailors. The half-orcs who were hunting an animator (forgive me for not remembering y'all's names!), the folks at the Lotus (Satina, Von'Brandtt, Sohpia), Cara the Murder Victim, Flamma!, Lleron Ylthring.
I'm sure I'm missing some folks, but y'all get the gist of it. I'm super excited to see where Siobhan story goes.
