“I know I suck at all things magical, but I’m pretty sure I’m a beast at legilimency when it comes to Addie. Pretty sure she is, too. One look at each other and we know. It’s a bit relieving to have someone I can tell everything without worrying about being stepped on. She gets it, I guess, would be the simple way of putting it. She’s my best friend.”
Ariadne and Aella became friends through mutual survival. They were always the leftovers in classes and so, through a silent mutual agreement, they became partners. And by the end of second year, they were best friends. They even joined Astronomy club together – sometimes, they just like to lie on the floor of their dorm room and stare at the ceiling stars. And during projects or hanging around in the more public areas, they share laughs over people’s unfortunates. While Aella doesn’t like seeking out friendships much, she knows that Ariadne is a one of a kind best friend. She feels indebted to her sometimes for being there for her so much and she sees Ariadne as her rock. Aella would do anything for Ariadne and harbors a fierce loyalty towards her; she would follow Ariadne to the depths of Hell if she needed to.
“She’s a conceited rich girl. Though, I guess I really shouldn’t say that, should I? God, I hope it never gets around to her that I said that. But it’s true! I bet her daddy buys everything for her too. She’s always mouthing off with that acidic sarcasm.”
In truth, Aella doesn’t really know Aurelia. They used to be in Care of Magical Creatures class together and Aella would always overhear Aurelia talking to someone and had made quick judgments based off of it. Despite not knowing her, Aella doesn’t like her due to her dislike of people who step over others. However, she would never tell this to Aurelia’s face, of course. She scares her a little.
“I don’t really talk to her, much. But I’ve noticed her before. Quite the mother hen she is, isn’t she? We’re both in Magical Creatures club – she’s rather good at taking care of things. Maybe she’ll become a healer or mediwitch?”
Aella admires Hestia for her ability to take care of others thoughtlessly and selflessly. She wishes that she could do that to, instead of helping others and expecting something in return, then becoming bitter when she doesn’t receive it. The fact that Hestia is able to offer things without expecting anything back while remaining optimistic.
“She’s a life savior, that’s what she is. Echo has helped me pass so many tests in Charms. I would have dropped out without her! But…she makes me a little uncomfortable with that whole ‘I’ll get you out of your shell’ thing. Like some high school movie. D’you think if I let my hair down and take my glasses off, I’ll be a total babe? Y’know, she’s really talkative, too. Sometimes, on my tests, I find myself writing down random things she says while we’re studying. Try explaining that to Professor Gilgamesh.”
Aella is a little envious of Echo. She wished she was as easy going and talkative like her. Echo just has this way with her – anything she says, Aella gets entranced, wondering if that could’ve been her. She reminds her a little bit of Thalia, in a way, with her silver tongue, and maybe that’s why Aella has her reservations with her. She wants a close friendship with Echo, but she’s afraid that she’ll get trampled on the way Thalia tramples on her – applying a band-aid while she cuts her. Because of her urge to get into Aella’s heart, Aella throws her guard up quickly, often getting uncomfortable.
“Don’t know him except for his ravings about communism. We’re both in Astronomy Club and I hear him talking about the Booj-wa-whatever. Y’know, the French rich fat guys. I don’t know, I don’t care really. I’ll just listen politely if he ever talks to me, but I pray that he won’t.”
Aella doesn’t really know him that much since they don’t see each other often and she is quite the loner, but she has heard him – or at least semi-heard him – talk about his governmental views. She finds politics quite annoying and so she doesn’t tend to listen long to him.
“Don’t really know her. Think we share a class together, though.”
“Well. I don’t really know him. But, well, it’s a little awkward? I mean, he is my best friend’s ex. And, he’s a little…I don’t know…intimidating?”
Aella doesn’t really know what to think about Carlo. She doesn’t know him very well, but having dated her best friend, she has spent a little time with him, despite never talking to him directly. As such, if she ever does have to communicate with him, she’ll probably find it awkward due to his past relations. And, well, she does find him a little intimidating. He has a larger than life personality that puts her slightly on edge, if she is honest.
“A studious one, that one. I don’t think he does anything else but study. Well, good for me I guess, since he helps with my homework sometimes. Doesn’t really do any much else. We don’t personally talk or anything – I rather not, too. So I guess that’s good.”
Like most of her relationships, Aella’s relationship with Edgar is impersonal. She doesn’t know much about him at all, and they hardly talk if its outside of academics. However, on rare occasion, when Ariadne or Echo is unavailable, Aella will ask Edgar for help.
“Sweet girl, I guess. We talk sometimes, but not much. She’s got a cute dog, too. I help her sometimes, I guess. Like I help everyone.”
There isn’t much to say about Aella’s relationship with Emily. They are on friendly terms, but Aella only views her as an acquaintance rather than a friend.
