Julika and her friends through most of the game. some of their placements change and some just drop out of the top five at some points but these are her main friends and family.
Julika doesn't vibe with most of her family back in Highwind. Nia is her family, she sees her as a little sister. (she got sister Zoned before she even had a chance babes). the rankings and reasons:
#1 Owen: Man gives her heftier portions and has easy commissions. He's also aging like the finest of wines in Julika's eyes. She does a lot of the flirting and he usually gets a little shy.
#2 Pen: After they beef for the first week or two, Pen and Julika find they very much vibe. Julika sees through a lot of Pen's "i'm the hero" crap and likes his rowdy shitty nature (its different from the rest of sandrock's super friendly local so its refreshing in a weird way). they spare and go out monster hunter together. They joke and playfully flirt. They do tend to ogle each other.
#3 Grace: They end up spending a lot of time together because of Owen. Julika loves how mature she is and loves sharing life stories together. she knows Grace is bad at cooking but she's also great at making drinks. she taste tests the new drinks she makes. She has a small crush on Grace throughout the game, mixed with obvious admiration.
#4 Miguel: Just like Grace, Pen and Julika hanging out leads to Miguel and her spending time together. She doesn't go to church with the rest of Sandrock, she doesn't care for it but she starts hanging out with Miguel outside of his sermons. It starts with cleaning up outside the church and continues from there.
#5 Qi: This one just kinda happens because she finds data discs frequently. She's the more experienced builder out of her and Mi-an and she cannot stand how few recipes she started with in Sandrock. (When Heidi tells her she can't give any bathroom blueprints out she goes to Qi immediately and demands a shower of some kind.) She ends up being at his house almost daily. She doesn't like it when he talks to her like stupid but that doesn't last long cuz she does have a chat with Qi. After their talk, their friendship starts feeling more like a friendship and gets less stiff. Julika like seating out with him cuz they like the same tea based meals and grace's drinks. (if yall look at his likes list he does like a lot of hr drinks. Kinda headcannon they are alcoholic cuz i'm a grown ass woman, and i like headcannoning that Qi cannpt handle liquor but always order the fruity drinks cuz they don't taste like alcohol. He doens't drink often)
