Lúcio:
Tyler will be on the lacrosse team with Lúcio. Tyler is pretty chill and easygoing, so I wouldn't doubt they'd be friends at least.

Victor is on lacrosse and Body Improvement. That being said, he's an arrogant asshole whom Lúcio will likely put up with due to his genuine skill.

Kitty could be friends with Robbie or California, it's totally up to you, California they'd probably know through art and there be a protective angle as California would be older than her? Up to you on that one. Robbie, they'd probably know or know of through tabletops. It could be a case of they met through a game or something similar. Either character could be in the Eclipse campaign if you think they'd fit although California would probably take some convincing.

Lúcio and Aracelis could potentially be romantically involved but I'll leave it up to you to see if that's something you'd be interested. If not they're probably friends.

Oh also Darryl and Natasha. That's it. That's the idea.

Let me sling some folks your way:

Jess:

Jess is either BFFs with Kitty or Kitty hates her and Jess has no idea why. Jess is a sledgehammer of innocent, stinking rich art friendTM. She also assists with cosplay and is a fan of fashion, so she has something in common with Kitty's needlework too. Jess also considers herself very SJW and would try her best to understand Kitty's issues as much as possible, but I know that with folks like Kitty someone like Jess can be more intimidating than friendly, hence the 'hates her.' Up to you of course, though.

She probably doesn't have much of a relationship with Natasha. She's super lib- the Marx and Engles quotes would drive her off pretty fast, and talk of 'killing the rich' does disturb her a little, since she is definitely part of the bougouise. She'd try to just not associated with Natasha as much as possible- better to avoid than make an enemy.

Imagine she's a casual acquaintance to Lucio- she's not into fitness much but she's a bit of a weeb so there's enough overlap there for vague friendly feelings to ping between them.

Benji:

First of all, I'll submit Benji as a potential partner for both Natasha and Lucio. They're genderfluid and pan (AMAB,) but both seem pretty ok with that, and I could see Benji with either of them. Outside of this, Benji is probably borderline vanguard for Natasha. They're leftist enough to be a Bernie supporter, but I haven't yet decided if they own a copy of Das Kapital. Benji's also a MMA enthusiast and always loves to spar with a different martial artist to pick up new tricks, tips and ideas.

For Lucio, Beji is not only part of the body improvement club, they also definitely had their own gym membership prior to joining. Benji is pretty much all about the fitness, they're never one to dismiss someone else's hobbies so there's definite room for a pretty burgoning relationship between them.

Max:

Err... Max maybe knows Kitty as another weirdo? That's about it really.
All the world's a stage, all the men and women, merely players.

Max McKormicK:"What do you call a kid with one eye? Sick of your shit."

Benji Beecham:"It's weird... Apparently people who call you a snowflake get really offended when you don't identify the way they think you should?"

Jessica Lee-Smith:"It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm sure we'll get along great!"

So;

Kitty I probably don't have much unexpected to say about: Evie's a sweetheart but they have very little in common and so I don't see Kitty wanting to befriend her, so there's probably just awkwardness at best. And Beth may show some rare restraint given Kitty's past, by just avoiding contact as much as humanly possible rather than being an ass, but... they strike me as likely to clash anyway.

Natasha, on the other hand, hoo boy, Bethany despises her. She's a libertarian conservative and interprets Natasha as the antithesis of everything she cares about, a feeling which is likely mutual. Evie's general lack of firm stances presumably ticks her off to a lesser extent, and Natasha's prickliness would keep Evie at arm's length anyways.

And finally Lúcio, he sounds like a boy version of Evie, I can't imagine the two of them not getting along, and now that I see the origin and context of the Body Improvement Club, Evie'd probably be down to join if he'd have her! Even Beth might get on with him, she's not really got much about him to object to, though he might very well object to her.
I made some terrible children, please befriend them.
Evie "Otter Mode" McKown will protect every animal. They are all friend.
Bethany Lyon is going to join the Daughters of the American Revolution when she's old enough.

Katelyn "Kitty" Graves =

Bill: One of the more outcasty from my crowd and a pretty mellow dude with a low self confidence, has a tolerance for morbid stuff as he grew up using the internet frequently, due it doesn't stop him from being skeeved at some of the more extreme things out there. Friendly to most people, and would try to look past the scars that Kitty has

Rosalie: Similar to Kitty in a way in that she wants friends, but struggles socially and with her depression finds it difficult to make some. The two share the hobby of sewing and have a fascination with dark things, maybe that common factor brings them together?

Natasha White =

Timothy: I think we established ages ago that Timothy is a part of the vanguard that Natasha is running. He half believes in communism, but hasn't fully drank the kool-aid yet and so has some reservations about it that he keeps to himself.

Andrew: Would shake his head and walk away without a care if she started to talk it up.

Bill: Would think up ways to sneak away if she started to talk communism at him.

Alexander: Would find her open endorsement of communism distasteful and want little to do with it.

Emily: Would argue with her about it if she started to talk up figures such as Stalin and Lenin.

Lúcio Oliveira =

Andrew: I can see the two being friendly and Andrew having some interest in the bodybuilding aspedct, but is currently content with working out on his own.

Bill: Friendly with, but nothing more than that. Bill isn't up for body building or such.

Alexander: I can see Alex as friendly with Lúcio, both of them have a similar goal of building their bodies up and Alex would be remiss to not take up the offer to build himself up due to his lean stature.

Emily: Same goes for Emily, as in being friendly with Lúcio.

Kitty:
Medea: She would be very nice to Kitty, and try to be friends with her. Whether or not she'd succeed is up to you, but Medea is a very kind person would be there to help Kitty when she needs it.
Dani: While Dani wouldn't be mean to her, she isn't exactly going out of her way to interact with her. To Dani, Kitty is probably just "that weird cat girl."
Randolph: Might be something here? I mean, Randolph is also kind of a social outcast, introverted, with mental issues. Not to mention he has an appearance and behavior that is off putting. Their mutual difficulties cause them to flock together and become friends? She likes to hike and he likes to do birdwatching, so maybe they like outdoor activities together?

Natasha
Medea: While Medea is a super nice person, she is also pretty wealthy. Maybe Natasha doesn't like her purely because of that? Though Medea does lean pretty left, she literally loves everyone and does hang out with some decidedly not left leaning people.
Dani: Well, fellow volleyball player, but... Dani's dad is a rich capitalist and Dani is not above flaunting her wealth, so Natasha probably hates her.
Randolph: Old money kid. Your communist kid would probably not like him on principle.

Lúcio
Medea: Friends?
Dani: Could also be friends since he is fit and likes anime.
Randolph: They might get a long since Lúcio is well regarded by the outcats of the school. Might not be super close, but they could still get along if he isn't bothered by Randolph's appearances and mannerisms.

I have some ideas, so if anything here works that'd be cool 8-)

Katelyn
Maddie has some interests in common with Katelyn (Hunting, reading/writing). However, personality-wise they're very different. Honestly it sounds like Maddie would just end up annoying Katelyn. Especially if she ever caught word of a D&D group. She'd probably keep pestering Katelyn to let her join, despite them not being close at all.

Natasha
Hmmm. Chloé might be Vanguard-adjacent? They share similar views and I can imagine her having hung out with the group once or twice and gotten along well with them, but ultimately they're not really her crowd. Natasha'd have a reliable ally in any debates against capitalist scum though.

Lúcio
None of mine have any hobbies in common with him, but none of them would have any problem with him either. Fred might try and join the Body Improvement Club, with the split intention of getting jacked and associating with popular kids, uh, "widening his social circle". He'd definitely look up to Lúcio either way. Chloé might be friends with Lúcio by proxy since they'd probably float in similar social circles, and she'd respect and appreciate his kindness and generosity a lot.
17 he / him

Hello, hello there! I’ve got a batch of kids for you!

Kitty-

I see my child Erika being a friend. Pros: She also likes drawing and hunting, and has a generally mild temperament and is also regarded as being mildly creepy at times. I think they might understand each other. Cons: Erika can sometimes have trouble reaching out (although she probably would reach out to Kitty a few times) and may come off as a bit intimidating at first.

As for enemies… well it’s not explicitly antagonistic, but Giselle’s rather nonchalant behavior regarding other people’s personal tragedies and tendencies to turn everything into a joke may not go well with Kitty’s trauma and outwardly visible “odd” traits.


Natasha:

I think I’ve talked about Isaiah being in the Vanguard in your groupchat? Although it isn’t formalized yet, he also has beliefs that align with her’s. I will also politely enter him as a potential boyfriend candidate.

Millie is… well, she’s a radical feminist who’s outspoken about her beliefs when it comes to… let’s say nitcher stuff (anti-pornography, mostly) and an environmental activist.

Ren is generally pretty nice towards everyone, and Natasha seems like the type to be friendly with them… unfortunately, generational trauma has left them to be a kind of staunch capitalist despite their otherwise left-leaning beliefs. Maybe Natasha would try to steer her away from that?

Noah is a genuine communist, and, like, he probably got radicalized when he was... 14? 15? if you want her to be the one to do it feel free!


Lucio:

Isaiah is in the body improvement club! He thinks Lucio is a cool guy, and probably got invited there by his brother(? Have to talk to sunny about that)

As for casual friends… Betty hangs around the popular crowd (mostly by virtue of being childhood friends with other popular kids) and probably marks him down as one of the few people that she actually enjoys talking to.

Ren’s generally friendly all around :)

Giselle also parties, and she probably contemplated joining the body improvement club/talked to him about it but in the end she’s got music to make and dances to dance so…. sorry!
