out of these four, avery’s known blake the longest, having met her when she was way younger. their relationship was predatory and awful no matter how one viewed it, leading to blake's personality and morals slowly being warped by avery's influence. he didn't take too kindly to this, however, finding her more irritating than amusing when she started learning how to fend for herself and go against him. (he's tried turning her in to the police several times. she's found a way to snake out of it every single time.) eventually avery decides to discard blake one way or another, as their relationship was no longer benefitting him, and blake was left on the streets.

landry has long been keeping an eye on avery and those in his social circle, so it didn't take long for him to find out avery's gotten rid of his favorite plaything. normally, he wouldn't bother caring for any of avery's past partners, but he quickly found out blake specifically had a knack for swindling that any criminal would be insane to ignore. many of his jobs - and wren's, as he'd also find out - would end up bust due to important belongings or cash being stolen from his hired contracts. it didn't take long to find out who was behind it, as for blake was still a clumsy, young girl, doing anything it took to survive in this town. he approached her and took her in under his wing under the pretense of an employer-employee relationship, though sometimes it feels like more to blake...

mickey and blake get along decently, though most of their interactions involve some sort of trade-off. at first, it was work related favors, such as breaking into certain places, gathering information for them, but the longer they worked for each other, the more casual their dynamic became. mickey doesn't trust the concept of giving their address out to online shopping websites, so they have blake do all their shopping for them - but they don't really care if she steals them or actually pays for them. lately, they've been into treating blake like a food delivery service.
