• Familiar Faces

  (a more in depth look at Colbie's relationships! a few encounters warrants your name here!!)
  
  
  

  POSITIVE:

  
  
  Emerson: Colbie's son Emerson, eight years old, is the center of her entire universe. His personality is quite a blend of both parents; aloof, timid, and an overthinker. She encourages him to make friends, but he can't relate to others his age easily. Colbie begrudgingly puts up with 'his' dog, Fluttershy, a large Leonberger (though she'd never admit she loves that dog). Colbie struggles to encourage him to try new things, and keep his peculiar 'interests' on the down low, which are dark, morbid interests in pigeons and death... Particularly pigeons.
  
  Ronni: An odd insomniac author friend Colbie has known for years, quite close to. She often falls out of touch with him, but he's a wonderful friend who's always a soft place for her at her low points. She's always hopeful, even if in denial, that he will reappear in her life despite being lost for far too long now.
  
  Vin: A strange kid (or so she thinks) she runs into on occasion in Amberwood. Although she doesn't feel she'll ever fully understand him, he always manages to be quite the character without even trying. Generally quite pleasant to be around, Colbie would consider him a friend, even if he wouldn't.
  
  Rogan: Met a few times along with Vin, she finds him to be a bit more amicable than Vin and easier to read. She finds him fun to be around, although she doesn't know him all too well. Maybe if she hung around his shop in Amberwood more often that'd change.
  
  Ranpu: A Pharoah Hound girl Colbie considers the only good thing to come of her horrendous month long ordeal with Raj and Kenya. Risking punishment to help Ranpu, and often receiving it, Colbie felt a strong connection to her. While a great friendship was mistaken for something more, Colbie still thinks about her from time to time and worries of her whereabouts, always hoping she's in a far better place.
  
  

  NEUTRAL:

  
  
  David: Colbie and David went quite a ways back, her closest and strongest relationship with anyone, surpassing even family members in that regard. Formerly engaged at one point, she was at one of the most content spots in her life. That period was relatively short lived as she began experiencing mental and emotional hardships as a result of his instabilities.
  David left an oddly fond imprint in her heart, especially being the father of her son Emerson.
  Factoring in David's mental instabilities and inevitably creating a toxic surrounding for their son, Colbie simply had to find a way out and split. Ill will toward him is quite suppressed, she's content to call it a closed chapter, though not without thinking about him from time to time with various curiosities.
  
  Keith: Colbie met Keith in college before she had to drop out at age twenty. Keith pursued Colbie, taking advantage of her slight obliviousness and tendency to be 'lost', either navigationally or mentally. The definition of a dudebro, scruffy and pudgy and perpetually mentally eighteen despite being a grown ass twenty eight year old man. Keith allowed her to live with him for two years when she was at a financial low while trying to gather her life back up, which she is and will always be grateful for... though he often hangs it over her head as a tacky guilt trip tactic. Although he obnoxiously reappears in her life now and again, she could certainly live without him.
  
  

  NEGATIVE:

  
  
  Raj: A military and self defense trained woman of intimidating build who was enough to reduce Colbie to a stuttering, whimpering mess whom she met under desperate circumstances at her all time low. Raj took pity on her and offered her a place to stay as well as protection. The situation took a nosedive; Colbie often performed degrading favors for her out of fear, as well as mundane tasks such as housework. Raj later enslaved Colbie by a legally binding contract disguised as rent papers, along with two other girls, which forced Colbie to let Emerson live with her parents for months. Colbie is fearful of what might ever happen if she saw her again.
  
  Kenya: An intimidating hyena girl who was Raj's lover and assistant of sorts. Not nearly as intimidating as Raj, she was easily persuaded to do practically anything just to impress Raj... Even if it was at Colbie's expense. Kenya was the main perpetrator of her abuse during her short period of enslavement.
  
  Jorje: Jorje was Colbie's old modelling agent. He met her on a train, introducing himself as a well known photographer and modelling client and urged Colbie to look into it. She accepted, surprisingly blossoming from the experience and gaining a pinch more confidence with each project she was involved with. She was paid by performance, her salary erratic though liveable. She overlooked his obsession and fascination for her for the sake of making money to get by. Unfortunately, giving him the benefit of the doubt was an awful mistake that escalated far beyond fathomable, effectively cornering her. He was later killed by David, purely a crime of passion when Jorje snapped and invaded their home.
