Part 2 to Mad Dog Rigel’s relationship map with the dlc characters since what she’s got going on with those guys is a bit more complicated, and so these relationships I wanna elaborate on a bit more. At this point I’d still say she’s still relatively towards the first half or so of the dlc and she hasn’t found out what exactly Miquella is doing yet.

So with her and Moore/Freyja she’s mostly neutral on them since at this point she’s become very withdrawn from other people and so she doesn’t want to let herself get too close and form any close emotional bonds even if it’s with people she would have otherwise liked.

Her and Ansbach have a mutual respect for each other while she and the Hornsent have a mutual dislike.

Dryleaf Dane she doesn’t like because she feels like he makes himself out as like this super mysterious master of fighting, especially with like his cryptic notes and whatever without actually being able to back it up considering when they fought the first time 1 on 1 she tore his ass to shreds (based on my experience when I played considering he didn’t even touch me). So mostly she just thinks he’s kinda insufferable. Admittedly this isn’t particularly important to point out but I figured I ought to include him since he’s included in Miquella’s allies, which is the part of that dlc that is important to her character development.

Her and Leda have kind of this almost homoerotic rivalry thing going on since they are on a very similar wavelength in terms of being these incredibly paranoid killers who are now on their I guess ‘false’ redemption arcs where they’re trusting Miquella to deliver them to a kinder world whilst restraining themselves from acting on their worst impulses. And like they can smell it on each other like dogs and thus kinda want to kill each other bc they’re just like that one degree apart that activates their kill switches. And they’re very gay about it.

Then her and Thiollier have the stupidest fucking beef bc these bitches do NAWT like each other. Mostly because of St Trina since they’re both incredibly jealous over her. Thiollier for his canon reasons and Rigel because I headcanon that Trina’s gift of sleep can quell the Frenzied Flame, something that Mad Dog Rigel is afflicted with, and so she’s almost possessive of this newfound peace in the face of her otherwise anguish in literally everything else she’s doing (even if a lot of it is her own fault). She also absolutely is smug about the fact that St Trina chose to speak to her over Thiollier tho, 100%. Only reason she doesn’t outright kill him is because she doesn’t want to risk upsetting St Trina.
