Anne Finnelan/Relationships

Finnelan obviously disdained Akko for her clumsiness in magic (including some instances where she unintentionally causing several misfortunes on her). She displayed narrowed perspective towards the young witch, perceiving her presence as eyesore and going so far suggested her expulsion for shenanigans she unwittingly caused to Pisces. Not surprisingly, Ursula called her out for this injustice, rightfully pointed out how her favouritism towards most excel of students narrowed her perspective towards least talented ones and troublemakers, blinding her from the best in them such as Akko's determination to overcome her shortcomings and ultimately clouded her judgement.

Akko on the other hand, still respected Finnelan as an authority figure as with other teachers and Headmistress despite their differences and the latter was discredited by Croix. While it appears Finnelan begins to acknowledge this to some degree, it took witnessing her and Diana's fight against the evolved Noir Rod that she begins to see Akko in more positive light. By the time Akko managed to fly with her own power in Tree of Leaves, it can be inferred that their relationships improve further as Finnelan is seen smiling proudly by the Japanese's success, having a newfound respect for Akko.

#### Diana Cavendish

Finnelan greatly respects and admires Diana for her magical prowess and maturity beyond her years. Her complete confidence in Diana leads her to erroneously credit Diana with restoring the Jennifer Memorial Tree instead of Akko in "Pappiliodya", even though Diana says it wasn't her doing. They could perfectly synchronize to perform Luna Lana with little issue.

### Luna Nova Faculty Staff

#### Miranda Holbrooke

Occasional differences aside, Finnelan respects Holbrooke owing to her position as Luna Nova's current headmistress. They, alongside Lukić, Badcock, and Nelson, can be seen discussing about the upcoming final stage of the 2017 Wild Hunt event.

#### Nelson

Finnelan and Nelson appear to maintain a healthy professional relationship with one another. The two share an aura of strictness as well as a friendly demeanor towards each other as shown in "New Age Magic". They even join Lukić, Badcock, and Holbrooke in discussing about the upcoming final stage of the 2017 Wild Hunt event.

#### Lukić

Not much is known about their relationship, though it can be inferred that Finnelan and Lukić maintain a healthy professional relationship with one another. They even join Nelson, Badcock, and Holbrooke in discussing about the upcoming final stage of the 2017 Wild Hunt event.

#### Samantha Badcock

Not much is known about their relationship, though it can be inferred that Finnelan and Badcock maintain a healthy professional relationship with one another. They even join Nelson, Lukić, and Holbrooke in discussing about the upcoming final stage of the 2017 Wild Hunt event.

#### Ursula Callistis

As with Akko Kagari, Finnelan showed disdain Ursula for her clumsiness and often reprimanded her for it, but never thought that Ursula would stand up for Akko. Ursula even indirectly points out that her preference on more competent students made her failed to see genuine determination to overcome difficulties within incompetent students. As with Akko, Finnelan viewed Ursula as an eyesore in academy. She appears to have gained a little respect for Ursula when she foils Croix's plan.

#### Croix Meridies

Finnelan was the most opposed to Croix's intentions to install the Sorcery Solution System at Luna Nova. While other professors (with the obvious exception of Ursula) eventually were won over by Croix's ability to solve the crisis with the Faeries with the SSS (which unbeknownst to them she had created) and the allure of digital technology and subsidies, Finnelan remains opposed to the mixing of magic and science and has expressed her disapproval of Croix's interest in it. Rather than pure bias as with how she disapproved Shiny Chariot's idea of showing wonders of magic through magic show however, as Finnelan suspected that Croix had shady intentions which later proven right in "The Road to Arcturus".

#### Luna Nova Faery Custodians

While she maintains a neutral professional relationship with faery custodians under Luna Nova's employment as with her peers, it's evident that Finnelan is, in some respects, much more distant towards them than the rest. In fact, her preference to maintain status quo in Luna Nova and strict adherence to tradition made her too unfeeling to faery custodians' plight. It's ambiguous whether Finnelan would try to regain their trust after their strike which unknowingly perpetrated by Croix and restoration of Yggdrasil which improved life standards of everyone in magic community for real.
