## Evidence

* Though they just met, Fabia was very impressed by Dan's brawling skills, despite her defeat at the hands of him. (The Visitor, Ep3)
* Both of them have a initiative of freedom and justice.
* After jointing the Brawlers, Dan's words assure Fabia that they were on her side and cause her to blush. It can be implied that her blushing is a sign of appreciation and a possible crush. (Hostile Takeover, Ep8)
* Fabia spoke specifically to Dan and ignores the rest of the Battle Brawlers about the Interspace situation. By specifically calling out to Dan, that meant she prefers him to rest. If she were to say the names of the rest, meaning she feels more close to them. However that is not the case as she feels more connected and close to him in a sense.
* Fabia smiled at Dan when he said "bring the fight to the front door". In the preview of the next episode, she said "Dan and the Battle Brawlers", instead of "with the help of the battle brawlers", further emphasizing her preference to distinguish him from the others.
* When Dan comments on Queen Serena's good looks, Fabia tried to imply that she was as beautiful as her sister. (The Sacred Orb, Ep14)
	+ **Dan:** "Wow, she is really beautiful..."
	+ **Fabia:** "What did you expect, she is my sister after all."
* Fabia also was impressed by Dan's purity of heart and also they are able to walk on water. She also sarcastically commented "quite humble" in response to his self-assuredness. Sarcastic responses tend to be from closest friends, despite knowing each other for a little more than a week, it further implies her jovial and joking attitude towards him. (The Sacred Orb, Ep14)
* When Dan was crossing the river, Fabia expressed her concern by warning him specially. She gave him a warning/reminder, not an ordinary one like "be careful out there" or "be alert, this guy is tough!" She was also impressed and amused by Dan's way of crossing the river, even snickered at his action, but did neither for Shun. (The Secret Switch, Ep16)
* Fabia said that she was "right behind Dan" when fighting alongside him. When they won, both give a high five, with Fabia seemingly the more ecstatic one. This shows she was glad to win alongside Dan and that their teamwork was superb, even skipping slightly high, showing how happy and proud she was. (The Secret Switch, Ep16)
	+ Fabia said "nice one Dan", this shows that like episode 16, with the same reason, she was happy to work alongside Dan and even congratulate him. As for her battle with Shun, she never did that to him, even though they emerge victorious.
* When Fabia heard Dan was knocking, she immediately changed back to her human form. This means that she doesn't want him to be freaked out at her real Neathian appearance and may feel indifferent when he saw her true form. (Forgiveness, Ep26)
* Fabia was willing to give an open mind to Dan's request to let Ren join them. This says that as much as she hates Gundalians, she did not get one bit of concern for them until Dan's request. (Forgiveness, Ep26)
	+ Fabia immediately replied to the Dan, not only that, her voice gone a little squeaky-esque high, could be a voice actor error, but most likely not.
* Fabia puts her hand on her chest when she is worrying or caring for the other people, in this case she was warning Dan not to go to Gundalia to retrieve Jake from Kazarina, her voice and tone shows her deepest concern, her expression also. Her attitude tends to be free-spirited, and moving, this time it really shows her sadness and grief. (Genesis, Ep29)
* Fabia was pondering over the loss of her late ex-fiancee Jin as Dan was going on about Jake. She also says she feels the same way he did, trying to console him. It isn't a simple console, she actually gave the backstory. This kind of stuff should bring back bad memories and hurt her emotionally, but she decides to personally say it to console Dan and the others, especially Dan, who feels extreme guilt. Her arm was at her chest again while addressing the issue to her sister Queen Serena, hence shows her concern for the welfare of them Obviously, due to her anxiety, when Dan finally came back to Neathia alive, she called his name. (Genesis, Ep29)
* Fabia had flashbacks and recalled what Dan said to her that made her change her mind. This means that she sort of has Dan-related things etched deep in her head and hence proves her closeness with him.
* Fabia screamed when Dan fell.
* Fabia specified Dan and the others, instead of saying "the rest" or "them" or "brawlers".
* Fabia was extremely shocked at that news when Dan and Drago were captured, even more so than Ren or Shun. (Final Strike, Ep34)
	+ She cares for all the members' safety when they were divided, and even placed her hand on her chest, shows she show equal care among the brawlers and no bias, but for Dan it's a completely different story, she apparently shows more care to him.
* After learning of Dan's capture, Fabia decides to search for him by herself, instead of Nurzak. She states that she owes Dan much more because Dan immediately accepted her as one of them when she came to Earth. However, it was Shun who broke the rift among them. This perhaps means she has Dan in her heart and appreciates his acceptance more than Shun's or Ren's. (Final Strike, Ep34)
* Fabia also rushes in and shouts Dan's name when she enters the Bakugan Biological Research Center to save him from Kazarina. (Dream Escape, Ep35)
* Fabia waves back at Dan when she attacks and defeats the Twelve Orders' Bakugan.
* Fabia smiles at Dan, where is she rarely smiles at the brawlers, so this is something, she also agrees with everything what Dan said. Not only, she is saddened that Dan is leaving, as it’s specified at "you" not towards the brawlers, she also initiated the goodbye and raised her hand first. This doesn't mean that they don't like each other, in my perspective, she understands Dan's opinion and respects it, she also wants to be more initiative. When Queen Serena said Dan and the brawlers, she specified Dan, not only that, fabia said WE are forever in your debt, as if it was mostly referring to Dan, her eyes were about to tear again. (Destiny Revealed, Ep39)
* In Bakugan Mechtanium Surge, Fabia greets Dan and ignores Marucho and Shun, not even paying attention to Paige or Rafe. (Gundalia Under Fire, MS Ep17)
* Fabia was glad of Dan's victory against Mag Mel when she looked at the light left across Earth, New Vestroia, Vestal, Neathia, and Gundalia by the Dark Moon. (The Final Takedown, MS Ep26)

## Notes & Trivia

* When the two first met, Fabia actually threw Dan! She also declared him and the Brawlers as her enemies at first, but slowly warms up to them after they had been told the truth.
