I COVERED SOME HERE BUT Takshaka: QUEENS OF HER HEART. Takshaka has had a pretty big influence on her, actually. They (particularly Raven and Sparrow, but even Swan and Cecilia) feed her idealism and their heroic and helpful approach to everything has inspired her to do the same. The whole DETECTIVE KNIGHTS WHO HELP EVERYONE THING actually kind of stemmed from Raven, who was that gallant and knightly from the get-go!
She has a deep appreciation of Takshaka and what they stand for in general - especially considering the trauma game shenanigans. They are probably the best part of Kyr for her, that they're always reliable and good people who will do what's right and never lose faith, and also they (or some) indulge in the fun stuff and cake and parties and BAKEMAN. Considering all the pessimism and team vs team mentality that the trauma games have bred, that Takshaka never wavers in spite of that is something that Eveningstar really appreciates and even kind of relies on to try to do the same.
Speaking of pessimism, aside from the Rotten game, the last two trauma games severely damaged her faith in the other teams. At this point, she suspects Takshaka is the only team that hasn't thrown them under the bus, so that, combined with snakes helping Epona out both times, makes her love them all the more and also makes them the one team she fully trusts. Eveningstar has had a pretty rough time of things so snake kindness means a whole lot to her, bla bla bla dere dere dere dokis. As much as she may make fun of Swan and have no problems competing with Takshaka in silly games, when it comes down to it, she's intensely loyal and will (and has, actually) rail on anyone who dares to put them down or bus them. And they are just fun, WHAT A GREAT TEAM.
What you think Nightingale would have been like on the other teams!
