Arin's relationships

These are the relationships of Ninja rookie, Arin.
==Family==
===His parents===
Arin had a great relationship with his parents, who seemed to support his dream of becoming a ninja. When the Merge occurred, Arin tried to reach them, but ended up separated when he was pulled into the storm. In the aftermath, his first instinct was to call out to them, only to hear no response. He kept the porch swing his parents often sat on, bringing it with him to the monastery. During the MergeQuake Storm, Arin saw his parents through a rift for the first time in years, but it closed before either of them could have a chance to talk.
==Friends==
===Lloyd===

Lloyd is Arin's master. He first met Lloyd during the Merge when the storm pulled him into it before being saved by him and personally brought to the ground. After the Merge, Arin found Lloyd's mask, which he kept in the following years. After reuniting with him, Arin believed it was fate for Lloyd to train the former and Sora, which he doubted before Riyu's Dragon Matriarch advised and encouraged him. When Lloyd saw Arin had created Object Spinjitzu, he decided to help him control it and learns he can only do it if his emotions aren't right.
===Kai===
Kai is Arin's second favorite ninja. While their introduction was brief, they were able to speak properly, where Kai was surprised to hear Arin learnt Spinjitzu without proper training.
===Cole===
Cole is Lloyd's fellow ninja. They first met when Cole returned to the monastery upon discovering many dangerous artefacts including Chronosteel, were brought to Kreel's junkyard.
===Zane===
Zane is one of Lloyd's fellow ninja. He once tried to have Zane's hairstyle, but did not go so well.
===Nya===

Nya is one of Lloyd's fellow ninja. Their introduction was hostile when Nya attacked Arin for aiding the Earth Dragons, until they were able to settle their differences. They were able to speak properly not long after, where Nya was surprised to hear Arin learnt Spinjitzu without proper training.
===Sora===

===Wyldfyre===

Wyldfyre is Kai's student. They didn't have much interaction, although Arin gave Wyldfyre a brief reprimand for her actuality of relieving herself wherever she wants, and wondering if she'll ever train with him and the others.
===Riyu===

Riyu is a dragon that Arin and Sora first saved from the Claws of Imperium before they became ninja, and remained with them after saving his herd from them. He became distraught when Beatrix sent Riyu into a MergeQuake rift that he sent her into one, proclaiming it was for the baby dragon. When Riyu was among those that were brought back when the storm was over, Arin, along with Sora, was happy to see him again.thumb|Arin and Riyu as a teenArin and Riyu continued training together even after the latter grew taller, but was unable to fly. He and Riyu accompany the ninja to the Dragon Masters' Dojo, where Arin had been assigned Second Fang with Riyu in First Fang, until the latter solemnly looked on when Egalt demoted Arin for half-blinding him. When the Blood Moon interrupted their training, Arin and Riyu end up separated by the ninja in the storm, where they try to rescue Bonzle, but fail when Ras took them down.
===Alfonzo Frohicky===

Mr. Frohicky is Arin's friend and fellow resident in the Crossroads before moving to the monastery. Arin often bribed him with his Snowberry Pies, which he accepts. When Lloyd was struggling to maintain the monastery, Arin brought Mr. Frohicky in to assist maintaining it.
===Percival Tartigrade (former enemy)===

Percival is leader of the Imperium Teen Resistance Force, whom Arin saved from a damaged scaffolding. Before discovering he was harbouring Riyu, Percival was impressed by Arin's skills, not knowing his real name at the time, until the former discovered Riyu. After the ninja broke the dragons out, Beatrix spreading lies, running an investigation in her involvement in her father's death, and researching dragons, Percival and the teens save him and the ninja from the Claws of Imperium before working out their differences in order to expose Beatrix. Arin and Percival meet each other again when Percival brought Euphrasia to the Monastery of Spinjitzu in order to tell him and the ninja what happened in the Cloud Kingdom.
==Rivals==
===Grab-Barg===

Grab-Barb is Arin's rival in baking pies and participating in pie contests during the Crossroads Carnival, which Grab-Barb always wins while Arin himself came in second. His hopes of winning not long after becoming a ninja were crushed when Grab-Barg won again.
==Enemies==
===Beatrix===
Beatrix is Arin's enemy. Arin is aware that Beatrix was responsible for enslaving dragons and torturing them for their energy and worked hard to stop her. After joining The Resistance, Arin combats her tyranny and was pleased when Sora revealed to the entire Imperium about her true colors. In “The Power Within”, Arin’s dislike for Beatrix turned into complete hatred after the Empress sent Riyu to the rift, during the MergeQuake Storm. Full of rage and hatred, Arin performed Object Spinjitzu with a rock at Beatrix’s mech, greatly damaging it. After Sora achieved her True Potential and disassembled her MergeQuake weapon, Arin took the chance to perform Spinjitzu and kick Beatrix into the rift, where she disappears.
===Ras===

Arin's deep-seated animosity towards Ras stemmed from the latter's insidious ambition to capture and exploit dragons for their energy. Their initial encounter occurred when Ras aligned himself with the Claws of Imperium to ensnare Riyu as part of a sinister scheme. Despite Arin's efforts to thwart Ras' plans, he was unable to prevent the capture of Riyu. Arin's disdain for Ras grew to such an extent that he even likened him to an embodiment of evil, going as far as to claim that Ras had foul breath.
A year following the Liberation of Imperium, Arin was dismayed to learn of Ras' resurgence, as he reemerged to lead the Wolf Clan in a bid to unleash the Forbidden Five and seize control of the Merged Realms. Arin tried to fight Ras again when Ras came to capture Bonzle for the Ritual of the Blood Moon, but he was again unable to prevent the capture of Bonzle. However, the ninja later stopped the ritual and defeated Ras.
===Rapton (temporary ally)===
Arin had a massive dislike for Rapton due to his goal of capturing and draining dragons. When Beatrix became too obsessed with defeating the ninja, Rapton defected to the Resistance, to Arin's surprise before reluctantly putting their differences aside to expose Beatrix.
After Beatrix's defeat and thwarting the MergeQuake Storm, their feelings for each other appear to be mutual.

The Mechanic is, like the other ninja, one of Arin's frequent enemies. They first met when the Mechanic interrupted the Mech Master 5000 before Arin tried to stop him, but the former almost sent him into an arch.
Arin later fought the Mechanic once more before defeating him alongside Lloyd, thanks to the former being distracted attempting to attack NinjaFanInfinity and SpinjitzuForDays99
