citrine -> natalie: hahahahahaha complicated. It's basically sisterly love and so much dere, but also... she knows natalie is not as okay with violence as most of the rest of the team. and since she's a knight, it's a little awkward. and on top of that... it's the human vs. mixed-blood thing. So she loves and would trust natalie with her life, but at the same time, she has trouble talking to her sometimes, and she will front endlessly about her feelings. And, like with basically every human, she's a little bit afraid.
godddddd the rest uh
nightingale's happiest memory in canon is... complicated as fuck. Probably her and Yura making out on full moons' night because it was literally the only point in her entire life she was able to put aside the pressure and responsibility and everything and just do what she wanted. which was make out with her hot friend. but then she feels so guilty and awkward about it after the fact. it was the best memory at the time but complicated afterwards...
in kyr it's a toss-up. either breaking rotten's attempted murder game, bluebird telling her her real name, or natalie asking her out, tbh
citrine's happiest canon memory is when she received her sword! it was a birthday present and it was just. so full of all of her hopes and dreams and she was sure she was going to have an amazing time and an amazing life and be awesome forever and nothing bad would happen.
in kyr it's uh.
let me get back to you on that when someone can actually get her to stop fronting constantly.
REVERSE, YOU ANSWER THOSE NOW THAT YOU MADE ME WRITE THIS MUCH

natalie -> nightingale: ALSO A GROSS AMOUNT OF LOVE AND AFFECTION. nightingale is one of the two people she thinks she can always count and depend on in kyr (the other being silver, since he's the only other original henwen who's still in play). the other side of that is that it's hard to think of nightingale without this persistent terror that the other shoe is going to drop and she's going to get tired of her, or grow apart from her, or leave her in a way she can't control (like going home or getting mirror dropped). without her realizing it, this is kind of leading to her subconsciously assuming they don't have a chance to soften the blow if something like that does happen. she wasn't lying when she said she hopes she can go home with nightingale, but she's not counting on it being possible because she's 2 pessimistic 4 life, etc. it might go without saying, but she also worries about nightingale a lot - about the baggage her parents left her with, about her self esteem and self worth problems (even if she's gotten better in that regard), about her apparent willingness to die for the greater good... the list goes on.
natalie -> citrine!! ALSO COMPLICATED. she really, really likes citrine, but she's still in the stage with her where she's afraid to fully open up to her. she reminds her a little of aventurine, and unfortunately that means natalie projects a little - she's afraid of trusting and depending on citrine too much because she reminds her a lot of a person who's left her not once, but twice. she's pretty afraid, again, that if she lets herself get close to citrine that she'll leave. she also thinks citrine is a much better person than she is, so she's scared that one day citrine is going to realize that's true and hate her. oops.
tl;dr natalie is still terrified of interpersonal relationships and emotional closeness
OKAY NOW FAVORITE MEMORIES. in kyr it's probably getting together with nightingale or aventurine coming back from echo!napping (though that's pretty soured by the fact that she got mirror dropped shortly afterwards, it was really happy at the time). as for canon, i'm gonna say henry reassuring her that he won't leave her no matter what happens while they're at a school dance, because he's the first person who had ever said something like that to her and it was incredibly ~*~romantic and meaningful.
i thought of a return question and then completely forgot to put it in, smh self!! ANYWAYS, the ideal character development you'd get to have for nightingale and citrine!

Like, Nightingale is honestly pretty close to what I want. Right now, she's learning how to have confidence in herself. She is still working with the idea of being able to be loved and it's doing wonders for her. I don't have any more specific ideas in store past 'more in this direction'. Letting her start to believe in her own strength and abilities would be nice, though! But that would take actually being able to accomplish something important with cleverness or magic.
Citrine, I'd like to have some kind of development where she is comfortable and able to assert that she is human, and for her to stop being scared of people who aren't animalpeople! Literally nothing can knock the justice out of her, though, so I'm not worried about that. But something that could bring it more like... to the forefront? Less saying "I'M A KNIGHT" and more... doing stuff with it. But that's so reliant on my own energy levels it's hard.
SO HOW IS NATALIE FEELING ABOUT GOING BACK TO NIGHTINGALE'S WORLD, especially as nightingale lives with yura still. give me the details. 8D

the worst trauma games so far for both nightingale and citrine!!
