## Relationships

### Family

#### The Rayne family

Vanessa had a good relationship with her parents and was her mother's favourite as she didn't talk back or did anything bad. Vanessa had a good relationship with her brothers, she was very protective of her younger brother Charlie as Felix would make fun of him a lot, she would get annoyed with her older brother Felix as he would bully Charlie, and other people around the school annoying her. After their parent's death it seemed that her and Felix would be on better terms later on and she would have 'cried all evening' after the death of Felix and his wife. In her 5th year Charlie would try to avoid her and Felix and would disrespect their parents causing some tension between her and her younger brother.

### Niece and nephews

It is unknown what kind of relationship she had with her unnamed niece and nephew as Charlie avoided his brother and his sister, but she had a good relationship with her nephew Garet who was on his Felix's side. After Felix and Persephone died, she and her husband were quick to take Garet and become his guardian.

### Penelope Parkinson

Vanessa met Penelope in their 6th year and the two became best friends and each other's sister figure and did everything together. When Penelope had her daughter, she made Vanessa her godmother.
