#4licia

Been thinking a lot recently about the relationship dynamic between Four, Felicia and Millicent (I think it's one of the most interesting ones for Octopia!! I am biased because I created them all lol)

Because Felicia and Millicent were childhood best friends, and stuck together in the underground despite so many Octolings deserting to the surface, they're very close, but haven't been able to spend time together recently due to both of them having high ranking jobs in Octopia.

But now Felicia has another person in their life that brings happiness and light in the dark of the domes - Four. They're ready to protect her no matter what, and Four has equally deep feelings in return.

So of course, upon hearing how close they are with Millicent, Four gets a little jealous. She wants to dislike this Octoling so badly, especially because she was one of the main voices of opposition when Four first arrived in Octopia, but Millicent is such an amazing leader of the Scavenger Team that she just can't. They're in meetings together a lot of the time, so like it or not they see each other a lot more than Felicia gets to see her old pal Mills.

(Bonus detail: Millicent only allows Felicia to call her Mills. And no one is EVER allowed to call her Milly)

Let's just say that Felicia has been on Four's side from the beginning, and she's the only real friend that Four has had since the rest of the Squidbeak Splatoon left her. They spend practically all their time together, not just because it's Felicia's job as a bodyguard to protect the Commander, but because they enjoy each other's company more than anyone else. They would both do anything to protect each other.

On a deeper level, Four is still affected by immense trauma from her abandonment, and Felicia helps her cope with it all, promising her that she'll never be alone again. Why is this Octoling so devoted to someone who once ravaged the domes and splatted so many Octarians?
