Max and Brunhilde: Max and his little bird daemon. Drivers dont take their daemons with them into the car, they stay behind in the garage. As a result the 'tether' that binds them gets strained and damaged over time. Eventually it can 'tear', not seperating them but making emotional and mental communication difficult.

This happened to Max and Brun at a very young age. The rise to F1 at 17 was a lot for them to take, and before they knew it, their tether was shattered. They have gotten used to this lack of communication but it causes them to butt heads an unusual amount and struggle to find common ground as they just. Dont really know the other like they should. They're happier apart.

Oscar and Betty: They are counterparts in the wrong way; Oscar eternally stoic and emotionless, but Betty and her fearful, small Rabbit form betray his emotions frequently. It's frustrating for Oscar who cant give off his unbothered persona, and then Betty feels bad for upsetting him even though she hasnt done anything wrong. Unhealthy and getting unhealthier.

George and Angel: They're percieved by the media to have an iffy relationship due to Angel's size as a massive bull Elk. Theres a bit of a stereotype that people with big inconvenient forms tend to be unhappier due to the unique limitations on their lives. Not George and Angel though. It was hard, at first, but he was lucky enough to be able to accomodate Angel's form well. He's the only daemon who has his own trailer, your other shitty little daemons have to sit in the footwell or on your shoulder. In a serious sense though, Angel feels like the shoulder George can lean on, and he really needs that sometimes.

Daniel and Sarina: These two are perfectly attuned to each other. A near identical goofball pair, who finish each others scentences and after all the years of driving, they seem closer than ever. If theres any damage to the tether, it doesnt manifest in the bond they have.
