Candlelight the Echidna/Relationships

== Family ==
=== Charles France Jr. ===
Candlelight had a special connection with her father. He was the one who primarily took care of her while her mother was at work late. She enjoyed spending time with him, and he did everything he could to make her smile. He started teaching her how to play the guitar, as he was in a band in high school, and the two bonded. They rarely ever argued and she tried to spend as much time with him as possible.
However, one day in celebration of her grandfather's birthday, Charles's father, they went to a resort to celebrate on a balcony. When they all went inside for dinner, Charles stayed out to smoke a cigar, where he accidentally "fell" off the balcony to his shocking death. Candlelight was absolutely heartbroken and mourns his death to this day. It made her very emotional and rather quiet, and she does everything she can to make him happy up in heaven.
=== Ariel France ===
Candlelight and her mother have a close relationship. Though she wasn't around very often during her childhood, she liked to bond with her daughter. After her husband's death, she had to quit her job to take care of Candle, while also handling not only with her sorrow, but her daughter's as well. Candlelight got much closer with her mother and prays that she doesn't face a similar fate as her father did.
=== Charles France Sr. ===
Charles loves her granddaughter very much. He loved visiting her and watching her grow up and tried to get involved in her life as much as he could. His son's death amplified his love for his granddaughter and he tried everything he could to make the clouds and the rain go away. He never fails to make her smile and knowing that he's still alive makes Candlelight feel great. She sees her father in her grandfather, and it makes her very happy.
== Romantic Interests ==
=== Evergreen the Echidna ===
Lasting three years, Marshall and Candlelight were a very happy couple. His moving away to Sorrento Town was what broke them up, as that is 2,000 miles away from where she is. Candlelight begged him not to leave, as she already lost a loved one, but he told her that he had to go for what he wanted. Candlelight then broke up with her, as she said long-distance relationships never work out anyway. A year later, Candlelight went to visit him, only to find him hanging from a tree in his backyard. 
Two years later, she went to visit him, but it coincidentally fell on the one year anniversary of his death. She visited his grave and put eighty dollars worth of flowers on his grave. She felt bad until a stranger came up and kicked the flowers, saying he didn't deserve them because he pushed a girl's father off a balcony. She realized that that was her father, and all of her grief went away. 
=== Cole the Echidna ===
Cole and Candlelight started out as good friends. They didn't talk much, back then, but she liked to be a third-wheel to him while he was still dating Christina. After he broke up with her, she comforted both of them equally, until Cole moved away to focus on his music career. After she graduated high school, Candlelight started to listen to Cole's new music and started to develop feelings for him. She started to talk to him freshman year, and then he asked her out. The two are still dating to this day and love each other very much.
