🎉😍

😍: What traits, physical and/or mental, do they find attractive in other people? Honestly (she will kill you if you lie.) Forthrightness (she cannot understand; she wants to understand.) Kindness to animals (because the divide between her and humans is so great.) Anger (she understands), bitterness (she understands), and those rejected by the systems that govern all (she understands so much it hurts.)

Also, bottoms. 🎉 Who are their party members/companions? Describe each of their relationships with your OC (however brief or detailed you want).

Mash Kyrielight

Essentially Garnet's moral compass. Garnet doesn't really want to be doing the whole 'Master of Chaldea' thing -- she's pretty convinced humanity is going to cause the apocalypse and kill Gaia herself -- but she made a deal with something beyond the stars, and that thing wants to play hero with her corpse. Mash is the catalyst for Garnet actually wanting to save people as a general concept, and Mash is also the person who would slap some sense into Garnet if she goes all ecofascist or generally gets murderous impulses.

(this is long, so more under the cut.)

Van Gogh

One eats out of love and one wants to be eaten to feel loved, this should be a relationship that gets digested before it can begin. By the time that Garnet would encounter Van Gogh, though, Mash has done a lot of good work with her, and her desire to eat people so they don't have to deal with life's burdens has been tempered in her greatly. They've got similar stuff going on -- being used by Outer Gods for their own purposes, rampant identity issues, bearers of unrequited love that fundamentally changed the course of their lives and sunflower motifs -- but they approach it in different ways, leading to mutual sympathy even though they both behave very differently.

Garnet treats her a bit like a princess at first, someone to tend to like a gardener pruning away the disease off a withered tree. Due to her rampant projection onto her, caring for Clytie's emotional wounds feels like caring for her own. However, a one-sided relationship of being nurtured isn't particularly deep, and eventually, Van Gogh will have to plant seeds in the empty spaces of Garnet's heart for the feelings to be truly mutual. (Literally. I'm drawing a comic about that one.)

It's the kind of thing where it takes them a long time to truly be on the same page, but they'd both work at it pretty hard because the other person is who they are. The mere concept of doing that too is, in various ways, meaningful to the both of them.

Garnet could also, conceivably, use Van Gogh's bathwater to trip so hard she sees the future. This is irrelevant to most things.

Sakata Kintoki

I talked about it in the narrative foils section here, but Kintoki has a lot of similarities to her and would both sympathize with her while also stopping her when she needs stopping. Mash helps develop Garnet's moral compass, but Kintoki would act as a series of checks and balances to convince Garnet not to do self-destructive shit. His simple ideas and ways of speaking make it harder for her to long-windedly work herself up into a tizzy, and often he says things that are so straightforwardly blunt that it confuses her so much she calms down.

Hijikata Toshizo

They are both battle hungry hyper-determined nutjobs and would cause untold destruction to those around them. Hijikata Toshizo teaches her that guns are highly valuable weapons. Garnet makes the 'wolf of Mibu' thing less metaphorical by encouraging Hijikata to eat things with her in a bloodlust. He would throw her through a window so she could stab a guy. Leaving them alone in a room together is dangerous, unless you keep a tea set with them, and then they'd have a lovely time together reading poetry.

Due to Garnet's disconnection with other people, she'd be weirdly... jealous of Hijikata's connection to the Shinsengumi, and would sometimes fantasize about a world where she could have been a part of it in life. (This is based on unhealthy idealization. Please don't glamorize the police, Garnet!)

Sen no Rikyu

Garnet would FUCK that old woman

Assuming that Rikyu enters Garnet's life during the GUDAGUDA event she debuts in, a Master/Servant relationship between Garnet and Rikyu would begin with a substantial amount of distance, even if they seem to hit it off immediately, because they'd fall naturally into a teacher/student dynamic.

Rikyu's mentality towards life would do a lot to temper Garnet's particular anxieties, and Rikyu would refine her education in the areas she's lacking in b/c she spend a lot of her teenage years eating people instead of studying philosophy. Garnet wouldn't be sensitive to the ghosts and grudges Rikyu carries around though, due to Garnet's own prior-status as a reliquary of souls, but she'd be polite enough not to ask questions.

Also, Rikyu being money-hungry is a huge bonus to Garnet. While Garnet hates participating in modern capitalistic-based society, she finds great satisfaction in numbers going up, so she'd treat business with Rikyu similar to a game... and Garnet loves games.

Once <GUDAGUDA SPOILERS> happens though, this greatly bridges the gap between them, because GOD DOES GARNET GET IT, LOL. What if she just broke her diet and ate Hideyoshi!!!!! What then!!!

She and Komahime would get on quite well, once they meet. Garnet is a bit trendier than Rikyu is, while not being as trendy as Komahime, so which one she'd side with in the various disagreements is up in the air. It'd be a 'big sister' kind of dynamic with her and Koma.

Caster Artoria

castoria would look at garnet and see the shambling corpse of a woman she really is. she would look at her and see the crow eating the carrion corpses of the manifold dead. she would see the mirror-pool that reflects everything back at her -- and in it she would also see inarguable honesty, because garnet apotheo demands and gives the unfiltered truth.

for once, garnet would look upon a star and think it is beautiful, and not a reflection of the festering cosmos sewn into her chest. she would think she herself is perhaps beautiful as well.

a friend and i spent hours creating a hyper-detailed minimum wage mall employee au about them, which should give you a sense of how normal i am about castoria and garnet interacting.
