⚜ Respects /// ☯ Neutral /// ☮ Friends /// ♫ Close Friends /// § Tense /// ♥ Interested /// ⚤ Significant Other /// ☠ Enemies /// ♦ Unsure [hider=Ariella's Relationships][center] [color=EBE957]⚜☮[b]Edwyn Landry[/b]☮⚜[/color] Ariella and her father share a sort of understanding, Ariella being possibly the only remaining member of their family to maintain a personal relationship with the man. A largely unspoken bond, it's likely that Lord Edwyn has a soft spot for his only daughter, whereas Ariella seems to see the love her father has for his children more than the rest of the family can. She greatly respects him, and enjoys spending time with him, riding and occasionally talking, knowing a certain gentleness in him that her brothers aren't so privileged to experience. [color=026aff]§[b]Priscilla Landry[/b]§[/color] Ariella's relationship with her mother is difficult to explain. While they get along on the surface, and there is love there, there has often been an odd tension between them, Ariella tending to be uneasy around her mother for reasons she herself can't even explain. She is loath to form a rift in the family though, and remains as respectful and friendly as any good daughter should be, but there often isn't much to be said between them when they are alone. Ariella always felt closer to her father, but she is saddened by his and her mother's estrangement, and tries to act as a sort of go-between for them to try and prevent them from drifting further apart. Secretly, Ariella wonders that Priscilla isn't as saddened by Morgain's disappearance as she should be. [color=AED6F1]♫♫[b]Morgain Landry[/b]♫♫[/color] Ariella's bond with her twin cannot be overstated. The two were inseparable into their teen years, acting as everything from playmates to mutual advisors to confidants; so close were they that Morgain often joked he'd never let their father marry Ariella off to anyone who lived more than an hour's ride away. The two truly did seem to be "one soul in two bodies," often balancing each other out in personality; Ariella was often the only one who could calm her brother once his temper had flared, and Morgain remains one of the only people who could rile his sister out of her habitual calm, either for an argument or a raucous laugh. Morgain's disappearance has been more than the loss of a brother and dear friend; for Ariella, losing Morgain has been like losing a lung. [color=Coral]☮[b]Edmund Landry[/b]☮[/color] Despite being fairly close in age, Ariella still considers Edmund a "little brother;" stature notwithstanding. While Edmund might object to the idea, Ariella thinks he's more like their father than he realizes, and sees the same hidden gentleness in him that she sees in Edwyn. She is greatly impressed by and proud of his skill as a Knight, and enjoys spending time with him when she can, though she disapproves of his womanizing and hopes he'll clean up his act after his marriage to Liliana. To Ariella's chagrin, deep down she resents his eagerness to take the mantle of Heir (even if he is resentful of the position himself) as it seems like he considers Morgain dead, a concept Ariella is not yet ready to accept. ☯[b]Willam Landry[/b]☯ Like her other brothers, Ariella adored Willam when he was a child, taking delight in his antics even if his rivalry with Ashton occasionally (needlessly) bothered her. However, his lengthy absence during his formative years have made him somewhat of a stranger; the two are still fond of each other, but they don't know each other as well as Ariella knows the rest of her siblings. [color=7FFFD4]♫[b]Ashton Landry[/b]♫[/color] Ariella loves all of her brothers, but towards Ashton she is particularly gentle. Many, many times she's counseled the boy in his fits of worry, careful not to coddle him too much (lest he feel condescended to) but offering him an ear to speak to and a shoulder to cry on should he need it, not to mention no shortage of older-sisterly advice. She has enjoyed watching him grow (though she regretted being away during some of his most formative years) and is impressed with the young man he is becoming, but she would caution him not to shoulder the burdens of manhood quite so soon. [color=00a651]☯[b]Ser Baldric Durant[/b]☯[/color] Only really having observed her brothers' training in the yard and watched him in tournaments, Ariella has had very little personal interaction with Ser Baldric. She respects his skill and appreciates his expert tutelage of her brothers, as well as his loyalty to her father. [color=f6989d]☯[b]Liliana Blackwood[/b]☯[/color] While Ariella did live with Liliana's family at Raventree Hall for almost two years, their age difference was fairly pronounced at the time and as such, they didn't interact much on a personal level. Ariella is fairly fond of the girl, as she never gave her any reason to dislike her, and since her warding at Fallow Hill, has tried to familiarize herself with the girl who will wed her brother. As of yet, though, their relationship is mostly formal in nature, with little in the way of personal familiarity. [color=FF4444]☯☮[b]Robert Rivers[/b]☮☯[/color] Save for the time she spent at Raventree Hall, Ariella crossed paths with the kennel-and-stablehand near-daily on her way to either retrieve Thunder for a ride or one of her favourite hounds for some excursion. While she always thought he had a funny way about him (owing largely to his cavalier attitude with others) she found him overall pleasant, always having taken good care of Thunder and never having shown any disloyalty to the House. As of late the two have grown a little friendlier; Ariella has taken up secretly paying Rob to search for information on Morgain during his patrols, and she isn't blind to his attempts to cheer her up, either. She's particularly fond of his little friend Wight, probably more than Rob himself is. [/center][/hider]
