Relationships

Crew

Eddie		Promises, promises. We're family now, and family sticks together! Edward Ray came to Destiny looking for a way to the Commonwealth, the last known location of her brother. Given that he knew her secrets, she felt she could trust him. She feels responsible for what happened to him when he was left behind in the Ark and hopes they can rebuild their lives now that they're both free of that nightmare. She takes care of him and takes that responsibility seriously. Whenever possible, Destiny trades away her collection of personal possessions to obtain books and medical texts that will help her care for him. That she's trading the things she loves for these items is information she keeps to herself. With some of Odessa's medical knowhow kicking around in her head, she can make use of the information she's managed to uncover.
Else		Could you sing a lullaby? Asking for a friend. Destiny became fast friends with Else when they met at the Pelago. While she was a little strange, Des always found her quirks charming. Seeing what's become of her is heartbreaking, but Des knows she's still intact deep down and believes they can weather any storm together. The little captain has taken it upon herself to keep the seer close and make sure she stays safe and is looked after.
Wendy Dearie		One girl is more use than twenty boys. Diri is a sometimes member of the Featherweight's crew. Her ability is an asset on longer hauls. The two are able to bolster each other's spirits in ways different than most others, like a feedback loop of positivity. Sometimes. The seas are often choppy, but they do what they can to help each other weather the storms.
Spades		Unfurl the sails! Spades — Ace — is a former pirate that Destiny picked up on a crew-for-hire basis. It seems, however, he's taken a liking to the Featherweight, and her eclectic crew, since he keeps coming back, when he could go to other ships for better work. Or it just has something to do with the casual relationship they struck up. Extremely casual. Neither would call it a relationship. Destiny doesn't know that she'd call it anything at all, but Spades is fiercely protective and a source of comfort and strength when she needs someone to lean on.

Trusted Friends

Smiles		How do you find your place? Silas was one of the first to reach out to console Destiny after the loss of her adopted father. He was capable and kind, and he traversed to the new world. And then… he returned. When he needed to travel across the world, she volunteered to join the expedition without hesitation. She thinks the two of them make a great team.
Asi		友達になれますか？1 Asi Tetsuyama seems to be Smiles' best friend. She's called Aces, which is a tiny bit strange, given the given name of her on-again-off-again crewmate, but she seems to suit the moniker. Thanks to her assistance, the expedition to Japan went smoothly, and maybe everyone found what they needed along the way.

New Acquaintances

Richie		You're proof it can be done! Richard Ray — Cardinal? — is the Director's son! [AND I'LL HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT THAT LATER]

Lost at Sea

Tete		{ S C R E E C H } Mateo Javier Ruiz is — was — Destiny's older brother. Adopted by her parents when she was still young, he embraced his sister's peculiarities and was, in her eyes, the ideal older brother. When he turned eighteen, he left home in search of his birth mother. Des never saw him again, but refused to believe he had died in the flood like so many countless others. She dedicated herself to searching for him. Although her initial search only found his tomb, she eventually got the chance to say goodbye. Whether what she saw was real or not, it was the closure she needed in order to shape the next chapter of her life.
Jimmy		Aye-aye, Captain! James Woods took a young Destiny in when she was only eleven and looked after her. That she grew up able to smile and laugh was thanks to him. The loss of of her second father is one she may never fully recover from.
Eve		Ticky-tock! "Mad Eve" to the others, Eve and Destiny always seemed to keep each other's well-kept secrets, including their familial connection. While Des' memories of Eve from before the Flood are fuzzy from the haze of childhood, it also made them that much warmer. When Destiny felt alone and overwhelmed after returning from the Archology's destruction, Eve reminded her of the resilience of Mas women. Watching her decline was hard. It was like losing the last member of her family over and over a little more each day. It's in honor of their blood that Destiny now wears their shared name with pride.
Rina		Did you hear that? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you did! While Carina's past was mysterious at best, Destiny has always had a good feeling about her crewmate and trusted her with her life when the seas got rough and pirates came to call. She hopes she has a new, better life with her daughter in the next world.
The Other Ruiz		Brother from another— mirrorverse? This Mateo Ruiz was not the Mateo Ruiz who was actually her brother. He recognized Des as such, but he didn't share the memories of their childhood together. Still, they could duet Chopsticks like nobody's business. If they could have found a piano. Hopefully the next world treats him better than this one did and he found her sobrino.
The Other Other Ruiz		Sister from another mister brother from another mirrorverse. Destiny never had the privilege to meet her brother's wife in life. To have met her from another world was a great honor she never expected. Lynette was beautiful and kind, and impossibly sad. Having experienced the loss she had, Destiny understood her anguish and wished she could help her smile more. With any luck, Lynette has her son back and she's smiling much more now.
Older Version		Is that what I'm gonna look like when I'm seventy??? Odessa Woods is the person Destiny realistically expects to grow up to be. She used to joke as a little girl that she would grow up to marry Jimmy someday, and this version of her did. Though she could tell, not just by the fact that she traveled without him, that something awful happened. After losing her Jimmy, she understood the look in the older Des' eyes. She couldn't tell if she proves that life goes on or just the opposite. Knowing her other self made the ultimate sacrifice so that she could live — so another version of herself could live — is a terrible knowledge. Can she live up to that? Or… is that just Destiny?
Don		Don went banana balls. Before the broadcasts from the Looking Glass drove Donald Kenner mad, he was Destiny's friend. Even though he'd committed an unspeakable act of horror against her and her friends, she still believed he could be saved. She'll miss the man he was. Between him and Else, she can't help but wonder if what he said about God is true.
Director		Smartest woman ever! Michelle Cardinal was unable to help Des reunite with her lost brother, but she was able to give the girl a purpose within the Ark, and hope that there would be a way to bring him back to her. Word of her death had hit Destiny particularly hard and she blamed herself for not being able to do more. Knowing that she survived and — hopefully — made the jump with the others to the next world — to reunite with her son — is a thought that soothes the sting of never seeing her again.
Ria		Quicker than a ray of light, she's flying~ Rianna Cardinal is precisely the kind of person Des wants to grow up to be like. Impossibly cool and nigh fearless. If she knew what happened to her, that she didn't make it through El Umbral to meet her brother, it would destroy her.
Joy		The fastest way from Point A to Point B is… Almost as smart as Director Cardinal, Joy's ability was fascinating to see in action. Or not see. Or just hear about. The two were friends, and while Destiny might not have been brave enough to admit it, Joy was the closest thing she had to a mother. Destiny believes she's still out there somewhere. She has to be.
Santa		Punch and Judy! Eric Doyle and his crew aboard the No Strings Attached were some of Destiny's closest friends on the seas. Game night was never dull and Doyle knew how to keep the kids smiling. To see him lose his smile was terrible. She hopes he's found it again in the next world.
Lancelot		And now, the weather. The voice of The Tower! Lance is the familiar voice on the radio, and Destiny finds great comfort in hearing him and the records he spins. While she's out trading, she always tries to find new music for him to add to the collection. When the seas are calm, she'll radio in just to chat. The Ark created a bond between them that she wants to maintain.
