YAYAYAY!!! Ive been WAITING to explore their dynamics so please correct me if i accidentally mischaracterize any of your MC’s!
Runie 🌟🌼
- Xipil: It’d be a slowburn friendship to me! Specially cos Runie is so wary of his strength (he has abnormal strength.. like Shizuo Heiwajima strength) that in Step 1 and Step 2 he doesnt wanna scare Xipil away, so this would be another Runie Shield moment(tm) where Runie early on in Step 1 would just protect Xipil from anything dangerous and likes her (platonically) from afar. In late Step 2 I believe he’d work up the courage to talk to her.
It’ll start as an awkward friendship at first but once they slowly get to learn about each other more and bond (ALSO they get to bond over getting bullied so early on in their childhood which makes my heart ache 💔💔)
Their dynamic in a nutshell: Soft Stronk and Soft Sweet
- Metztli: Runie would come to respect and admire her but they wouldnt become realllyyy close. Maybe like, more than acquaintances but less than friends. He really admires Metztli’s attitude (he doesnt know abt her perfectionism) and sometimes will just give her random baked goods if he made too much. (Runie kinda feels a littleee intimidated by her so thats one of the reasons hes hesitant to talk to her skxnnsnd)
- Quetzalli: Oh Runie would LOVE to be part of her crew! You know that Markiplier jingle jangle clip? Id like to think thats how he made friends with her when they first met 😭 Runie lets her rant about her interests about being a Captain and her endless knowledge of ships even if he sometimes doesnt have a clue and gets confused but does his best.. even if he says something completely stupid and remembers the names of the ships wrong 😭😭
Id also like to think that whenever they go to the beach to hang out or go on a boat ride, Runie would prepare batches of treats that are marine themed and give them to Quetzalli so they can eat it together :’3
NOW ONTO KANRA!! She may be a bit difficult to get along with so.. most of them will either end in slowburn or strangers 🥲
Kanra🍓🐞
- Xipil: actually,, gets really interested with the friendship rocks thing that she does, prompting her to research about penguins, ended up liking that animal, and now studying Xipil because thats the closest thing to a penguin shes got.
She starts interacting with her. Not, like, in the traditional sense. But more like she sits next to her quietly as she reads or writes in her notebook, she chooses to spend time nearby Xipil or Metztli because she finds both of them interesting and not too annoying for her (in her terms)
I feel like she’d feel calm enough with Xipil that she tries to learn social cues and not be rude TwT.
- Metztli: Kanra would actively try and try to set her off 💔 she absolutely loves breaking down peoples facades so I dont think Metztli would honestly like her because of how manipulative and invasive she is. Unfortunately though I think Kanra would still do it for her studies and for her own personal interests. (See: her having subclinical Psychopathy and has a hobby of trying to gauge out peoples emotions and reactions because she can only feel emotions but its very muted.)
So im SO sorry Metztli but I think Kanra would still continue to do this to her all the way through Step 1 to Step 4 😭😭 (is this her way of making friends? Probably yes. Does she realise its rude and its offensive to Metztli? Nope not a clue)
- Quetzalli: Surprisingly I think with a bit of time and effort I think Kanra would come to like her. With Kanra’s fixation on sharks she wouldnt mind being a part of her crew. Although she’d probably get scolded by Runie if she starts being a bit mean and manipulative with Quetzalli which would in turn make Kanra learn more on social nuances and boundaries. I think theyd be friends in the middle of Step 2. And if they were, their dynamic would be the talker x listener because even though Kanra isnt good at talking, shes an amazing listener as well and can honestly have a whole 4 hour debate and conversation with Quetzalli about marine life and ships (she’d also learn more about ships for her. Kanra would never admit that she did it for her though LOL)
