## Family

### Valentine

Valentine is Holden's twin sister. Holden and Valentine have been shown to have a tenuous relationship at best, for example when she steals money from him, exploiting his low intelligence. It seems that Holden annoys Valentine, for example when she describes him as a hassle, or when he is eating with his mouth open. She says that it is sometimes embarrassing to even be related to him. When she is called over the PA, she immediately assumes it is because of his misbehavior. She also says that he has a very untrustworthy face. She is quite sick of Holden constantly asking for lunch money, as well. She seems to think that he is incapable of taking care of himself. Another example of her exploiting his lesser intelligence is when she tries scamming him out of $50. This is played off as a joke, however it seems that she was truly just doing it for the money, which shows that he does not care about her brother very much. It shows how gullible he is when it comes to his sister.

### Venus

Venus is Holden's mother. She eats breakfast with both her children. It is shown that she does not talk to them during breakfast. We know that she is concerned about him when he is missing without a trace after school, which shows that she cares about him. She respects him, which is partially shown when she asks him to help her get something during Future Endeavors. She is very happy to tell him all about her past modelling career. She is also very glad to find out that he wants to follow in her footsteps.

### Dax

Dax is Holden's father. They have not had many interactions, however he has been shown to despise the fact that Holden eats with his mouth full, and he disciplines him over it. It appears they do not have a close connection.

## Pack

### Felix

Felix is a childhood friend of Holden, and a member of his pack. They have been close since elementary school. They often break into other students' lockers to steal food alongside Theo when they are hungry. According to Valentine, Felix gives off golden retriever energy when it comes to Holden. Holden is down to howl at the moon when Felix suggests it. It seems like he struggles to find anything interesting to do without Holden. He has now become suspicious of Holden getting involved with Theo, which may impact their relationship, but may not.

### Theo

Theo is a childhood friend of Holden, and a member of his pack. They have been close since elementary school. They often break into other students' lockers to steal food alongside Felix. According to Valentine, Theo gives off golden retriever energy when it comes to Holden. Once, they went into a closet to escape the coach, however when they realized that they were locked in, it took only 40 seconds for them to decide to start making out. They decided to go to prom together, along with Felix. It seems like he struggles to find anything interesting to do without Holden. Theo is clearly attracted to Holden, because he enjoys watching him playing football in "tight football clothing". Holden invites Theo to dinner at his house. When Felix invites the both of them to howl at the moon, Theo declines, until Holden agrees to go, which shows that he has a preference of Holden over Felix.

## Other Schoolmates

### Zion

Zion was a new student who Holden was assigned to give a tour of the school to. However, he does not do his job and leaves it all to Valentine. He does not respect Zion's boundaries and sniffs him a lot on their first encounter. He says that Zion smells like vanilla and strawberry. After a while, Holden now respects Zion more, especially because of his deeper connection with Theo. Zion is concerned about Holden when he says he has no future planned out. He is very quick to help Holden out when Valentine is trying to scam him out of $50, which shows that he cares about Holden. Holden is also okay to go to the mall with Zion and Niklaus, as long as he is able to bring a plus-one (specifically Theo), and is bought a large meat lover's pizza. This shows somewhat that he is willing to help Zion out, even though he is doing it with two conditions.

## Other
