Selena/Contacts

Family:

• Arimia - I wouldn't have thought this raccoon would hold my heart in the palm of her hand, for all the differences between us. But life's funny that way, I suppose. She's an amazing being to be around with strong opinions and conviction to voice them, a good fighter and someone I will lay my life down for. It's hard to believe things have come so far, up to moving out of her room in the inn to our new home. I can't thank her enough for staying close through everything that's happened.

Major Contacts:

• Angus - While Arimia seems to have had some incredibly negative encounters with him, Angus doesn't seem to be the bad sort. Inexperienced, maybe a bit careless at times - but he is trying to be a better person. He recognizes his flaws, and tries to compensate for them. While he mightn't be the type of person I'd expect to socialize with often, I quite like the kit.

• Bite - A good lady to be around, Bite keeps her word and she's a genuinely kind soul at the heart of it all. Even if she came off as materialistic at first, I've grown to respect her abilities and her actions. I admit her constant desire for hugs is a little off-putting at times, but I don't begrudge it. It would seem we all have some skeletons in our closets around here.

• Kilsa - One of the first beings I was acquainted with in Firmament. She is a kind soul if ever there was one and provided me with a place to stay, materials to research and jobs to take care of. Once, she said she thought of me as a sister, and I'm inclined to think the same. I don't think I can put into words how much this badger worries me sometimes, but thank the creators she manages to come out intact. I don't know what I'd do otherwise.

• Kiyasai - She says she died and came back. She says she's the same, but she's not showing it. I can't begin to imagine what happened in Mossy stone, but I miss the leopard that practiced what they preached and didn't take a side exclusively. We had our disagreements on many things and didn't always get along but this woman was my friend at the end of the day anyway. I hope it's just stress masking her actions, and I wish she just didn't hide it. I think I'll... Miss her, now she's back in Shralesta.

• Lidiya - I'm amazed. It's been almost a decade since I last saw her, and now she's showed up in Firmament? I didn't recognise her at first, but she's changed a lot in that time. Her lot in life has improved, and for that I'm glad. It's nice to know some of my acquaintances still remember me after so long.

• Saibh - Arimia seems to like her, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't fond of her too; she's practical, reliable and gets things done. She mightn't be quite who I thought she was, but I'd count her among the more grounded people I know. If not a bit more vicious at times. It's all balanced out in the end by her realism.

• Sierra - A mechanic who Arimia and I live right next door to and share a workshop with. She's a good woman, willing to talk even if a lot of the engineering concepts fly over my head, or give me splitting headaches - not for lack of trying. Sometimes she comes off as a little bit too carefree, but at least it isn't carelessness that drives it and lately she's seemed more grounded. Someone I can call a friend, at the end of the day.

• Wulf - She's nothing short of reliable and practical. I've found myself to respect her for her ability to act and act well, regardless of the situation and it's nice to meet someone with such a refreshingly different background. Especially since she seems the kind of being I could share a cider with and chat to about whatever has happened lately. Certainly someone to turn to with matters when I don't know where to start.

Other Contacts:

• Ariella - Bite's sweetheart and a very good performer, but I haven't seen her do much outside of the inn. She seems nice enough to me, though she can comes across as a little vapid sometimes. She does have a good heart at the end, and a past I'm not at liberty to discuss.

• Cedric - An interesting case of a badger, he reminds me a bit of Kilsa sometimes. He's certainly amicable enough; hopefully we'll cross paths more often.

• Eleni - She's a soldier from home. I don't think there's much else I can say about that; she carries herself a bit more casually than I'd expect, though I'll chalk that up to having met her in town and off duty every time.

• Ictus - I'm still not terribly fond of this fox, after the abhorrent first opinion he gave. However, he is showing himself to be more tolerable than I'd expected and he does get things done - even if he is rather flaky at times.

• Mirana - I believe I have very little to say about this kit. She needs to stop acting like a child and start acting like a responsible mother. She's rash and a danger to herself and her children, and her mood swings have not helped my opinion of her.

• Rixo - Never have I ever met someone that's claimed to have travelled about so much - from a place I've never even heard of, to boot. But, she's a good soul and for the talks we've had I'm glad to have met her.

• Sveta - She seems a little easily distracted by some things, but she has a more level head than a lot of beings up until that point. Interesting that she's the first bird I've met proper in Firmament.
