🪈champion of pan🌿

(TRANS BEAM RAWRRR)

Another interesting thing is that Cleo has had so many people try to befriend her but it's only Martyn that she trusts. Martyn, the person who didn't back down from Cleo's challenge and held true to his convictions. Martyn openly and honestly telling Cleo that he will fight her for Artemis's blessing and promising to help her if she backs down earned her respect and trust. Cleo didn't make it easy for him either, she postured against him far longer than any other champion before he gave in and made the deal with her. Cleo wouldn't have won that fight and was aware of that but it was a test to see what people would do if she challenged them and Martyn passed by earning her respect and proving that he wasn't a pushover. I don't even know if Martyn knows that he earned Cleo's loyalty through that exchange but when it came to choosing which champions would fight Martyn was the only one Cleo immediately singled out as a person she wouldn't vote for. It wasn't enough for Cleo to offer her favor when he was chosen but it was enough that she didn't want to be the one to put him in harm's way. He promised to help her and he's the only one she trusts so far to keep his word. It's just a really fun character choice to be surrounded by so many people who vocally want to be your ally but to only trust the one person to stand up to you. At least that's the person who's honest enough to look you in the eyes when they stab you and that's all Cleo can ask.
