Woodward/Relationships

==Relationships==
=== Ursula Callistis ===
Woodward is the mentor of Ursula, whom she knows as Chariot. Ursula admires and respects Woodward as her professor. She taught her that people don't get what they want but what they had put effort through their experiences, a teaching that Ursula would later pass to Akko. Woodward also taught Ursula the second Word of Arcturus, Phaidoari Afairynghor. Before disappearing again, she entrusted Ursula to make sure that Akko will fully awaken the rest of the Seven Words of Arcturus in order to break the seal of the Grand Triskellion.
The relationship between Chariot and Woodward took the worst turn in The Road to Arcturus, where it came to light that Woodward's negligence towards Croix was what caused her former best friend to become the bitter person she is now. With the second Quest seemingly failed once more by Chariot and Croix, Woodward's patience has reached its limit that she chose to abandon the two to their fate. Dismayed that her respect towards Woodward was betrayed through the harm Woodward done to her former best friend, Chariot decided to put aside her original quest for Grand Triskellion to protect her loved ones from more harm, even if it bear the consequence of bringing the magical world to an end. It's unknown whether the two later made amends to each other in the end.
=== Atsuko Kagari ===
Despite being chosen by the Shiny Rod, Woodward was incredibly wary of Atsuko, possibly either due to the first failure of the Quest of the Seven Words or she was taken aback by Atsuko's fiery personality or both. However after Atsuko proved herself by gaining the Second Word of Arcturus, Woodward started to treat her the same way she did with Chariot when it came to testing her resolve. Atsuko eventually did surpassed Woodward by helping to mend the relationship between Chariot and Croix and restore magic throughout the world. These actions earned Woodward's respect.
=== Croix Meridies ===
In the past, Croix was eager to obtain the Shiny Rod and release the Grand Triskellion in hopes of becoming the world's greatest witch. When Croix and Chariot arrived at the Arcturus Forest to finally get the Shiny Rod, Woodward only gave the rod to Chariot and tasked her to find the Seven Words after hearing Chariot's dream. This lead to Croix becoming a very bitter person towards both Woodward and Chariot to the point where Croix believes that Woodward made a mistake in choosing Chariot as the wielder of the rod.
The entire reason that Croix wanted to find the Grand Triskellon was to become the greatest witch, but her plans were thwarted by Woodward. This is the reason why, at the end of series, when professor Woodward appears and shows her the true Grand Triskellon, she freaks out because the "word altering" magic she was after wasn't what she thought it would be. However, at that very moment, it became evident that Woodward also proved to be neglectful towards Croix that she allowed her to lost her way as Croix herself pointed out, and left her and Chariot in shame from both what Croix had become and her own part in it.
