okayy great question

io sees anemone in a very conflicted way bc they've known each other so long and been so similar for so long. like you're just like me fr😒😒 except you're NOT bc you're unpowerful but you don't even attempt doing anything abt it unlike me. Why have you accepted your fate like that girl are you pathetic?? All you do is Cry and all I do is Try. I am better than you

io and selma honestly just anelma but with all the jealousy and none of the love. and also a lot of condescension. but also near the end it's selma's shock n betrayal that has io like. actually getting overwhelmed by the guilt

io and melyde honestly just melymone just less gay. Like you're joking this untrained girl has a chorus of like 512? only it's even WORSE bc she got that chorus by bonding with a locket nileao made and io's like eye twitching that should've been ME URGH. And it’s part of what sets her off on her big plans

io and enith lowk inconsequential but there's some guilt there bc the monster attacks that io organised killed enith's parents much like how the attacks killed io's mother directly and her father indirectly. Like oh I'm. Taking people's parents now. but then there's also like. well I was much younger than her when I lost my parents😒😒 so she should stop crying

io and teagan dynamic is so funny to me like. teagan dgaf about this girl truly but io HATES teagan. like this HUMAN has the same (slightly higher) magical strength as ME? using nileao’s bracelets? Which she has BASTARDISED with sea glass??? and she's annoying and she sucks and she can't even do anything and she's stupid and I hate her grrrrr. and this is what properly properly sets her off on her plan

turns tuem around in my mental groan tube

okayyy fun stuff

anemone and selma have both known her since childhood at magic tuition. selma was kind of like "sure she's a bit weird and off-putting but like she's nileao's descendant I'm going to b friends w her" and ever since they've had this weird one-sided friends thing going on where selma's like "this is my friend io😁😁 guys let's go show the jewellery we found to my friend io😁 guys can my friend io come on our next quest😁😁" meanwhile io just😐😐 hey selma. and anemone was always kinda😒 I'M supposed to be selma's shy off-putting bad at magic best friend🙁 and io and ane never really like. clicked in that way it was always awkward for them bc it was like. hey you have all the traits I don't like in myself so I can't really. like you

melyde and enith knew OF her before the story starts bc she's nileao's descendant etc etc. when they meet her enith's chill w her but mel thinks she's a bit of a weirdo. like at least ane can be kinda cute when she's awkward/shy etc this one's just weird and lowk feels like she thinks she's better than me(?) what's that abt

teagan has no prior knowledge of io obvs but when they meet she's like. uhh okay hii. and thinks she's a bit weiird and maybe also a bit stuck up

selma, melyde, teagan, enith all like. stop trusting io completely around ch21 bc there's obviously something Up w her. but they have to put it to one side for part 3 bc they need her forgery expertise n stuff. She's still a bit of a creep tho esp towards teagan and they still bitch abt her <3 also I feel like it really really hurts selma when io's evil plan is revealed even though the trust and the friendship was no longer there like. my friend io??? doing THIS?? over THAT??

isther. I feel like I have talked AT LENGTH abt what isther thinks of io so I'll summarise like. meets her doesn't think much of her. becomes emotionally reliant on her after being told she's the MonsterGirl. thinks she's the only one that isther can trust during early monster revenge plans but begins to doubt her as time goes on like. why aren't you backing me up in arguments. why do you seem more interested in this selfish goal I know very little abt than helping me. are you lying to me. then at the end you. you know. you are coming down with me hand in unlovable hand and I hope you die I hope we both die
