Cora Chromis/Relationships
Nova Holland
“Nova’s my best friend! She’s the first land dweller I ever met. She helped me realize they’re not as bad as my people think.”
One day while out collecting things on the outskirts of Pao’lakia, Cora saw a figure diving in the distance. Swimming down to the bottom and back up over and over again. Curious as ever, Cora moved in to investigate. She came face to face with Nova, and was immediately interested in her. She followed as Nova swam back up to resurface, but when the kindred climbed out of the water and onto the land, Cora stayed behind. She explained how she’s not allowed to interact with the land dwellers, but this didn’t stop her. The two found ways to see each other regularly, Nova swimming down to play with Cora, and Cora surfacing near the waterfront to speak with Nova. Eventually, Cora’s visitations were brought to a stop when her grandmother found out, and as a way to keep the young submatar safe, she forbade her from seeing Nova again. Once Cora was old enough to leave on her own, her and Nova would cross paths again, reuniting the childhood friends once more.
Senti Ballahast
“He’s like my bigger brother… even though I’m older! I love Senti so much. I’d do anything for him.”
After arriving on land and wandering into Eversun for the first time, Cora became particularly interested in a certain ant sectum making his rounds in the city. She tailed him for quite some time, keeping her distance and watching from afar, studying this individual who didn’t look like anything she’d seen before. Little did she know he’d been doing the exact same: watching Cora and taking notes whenever she wasn’t looking. Eventually, their paths inevitably crossed, the two literally bumping into each other. Laughs were had, and they introduced themselves. Since then, Cora has seen Senti as her brother. She drags him to events and outings despite his objections, and often can be seen hanging out together under any given tree. Cora loves Senti with her whole heart and sees him as a protector of sorts, resulting in the two being a nearly inseparable pair.
