Pia Novissime/Relationships

## Family

### Ceres Novissime

Ceres Novissime is Pias twin sister. They were deeply close, swapping even names. To them, they were one person. Since losing her, Pia feels deep inside that she will never be complete again. After reuniting in Italy, it was revealed they do share a magical connection. Time slowed as they touched, wordlessly communicating many feelings with one another. Pia loves Ceres more than anything.

Lois: **+Completion** -Abandonment. "There can never be anyone like Ceres."

### Mother and Father

Both deceased. Her Mother was the village priestess, her father the village doctor.

## Party

#### Piper

Piper Carroll and Pia became very quick close friends. Piper can match her energy, and makes her feel like she can be herself around her- but she's too afraid of scaring Piper away to actually show Piper how much she cares for her. They have an incredibly close friendship. In scenario 3, Pia tried to absorb Piper into her Gjuam form, to keep her forever.

Lois: **+Euphoria** -Fear. "I have found someone who can understand me, if I do not scare her away first."

### Ceryn

Ceryn is just a little guy, and one that Pia took under her wing... if you ask her. Helping him train his Balor powers, she views him as her pupil.

### Dawn

Pia views Dawn Brooks is a failure of an older sister. Never there when she's needed, abandoning Ceryn during fights, and being so self righteous about it all, Pia is afraid that Dawn will push Ceryn away, like she did Ceres.

### Thrones

Thrones began as a strange crush born from loneliness and fascination over Renegade Beings. After rejecting her, Pia was able to make amends with them. Now, they are comrades, both fighting for Claudia Vargone, for different reasons. Thrones was charged with protecting Pia, to make sure Claudia does not lose another lover.

### Calista

Around Calista, Pia is even extra bubbly and cutsey, making Calista very annoyed with her. After Calista tried to find Ceres, though, Pia seems to assume the two of them are close friends, despite any protests from Calista. Pia also seems to be annoyed at Calista's serious attitude, poking fun at and sometimes arguing with her. Eventually, Calista warmed up to Pia, going to the beach and a club in Italy with her.

### Lenore

Lenore, being a friend of Piper's, meant that Pia and her would interact some. One day, Lenore found Pia searching for some hair of hers to consume. Forcing Pia to tell her what she was doing, Pia told her everything- her sister, her village, her loneliness, and how she can feel better after consuming parts of her friends. Lenore gave, willingly, blood for Pia to drink. Afterwards, they shared a snack from Dawn, Pia learning that Lenore drinks blood. Despite their fellowship, they began acting strange around one another after this.

## Other

### Claudia

On Elysia Island, she met Claudia when both were late and lost. Never meeting before in the North Branch, the two realized quickly they enjoyed talking with one another. When Claudia asked Pia for her help, Pia accepted, and they soon began to see eachother outside of work, beginning an intimate relationship. While Pia is aware of Claudia's ulterior motives here at UGN Central, she doesnt seem to care. The two care for eachother deeply.

Claudia has a long list of partners who have been turned into or killed by Gjuams. Pia swore to make Claudia feel comfortable, to give her a home, and to always come back.

Lois: During scenario 1, Pias lois for Claudia was **+Infatuation** -Need. "I cannot stop thinking about Claudia, I need for her to know me." After Scenario 2, Pia's lois changed to **+Love** -Responsibility. "I promised her I will come back home to her."

### Cassidy O'Brien

After saving her from a Balor Gjuam attack, Cassidy O'Brien took Pia under his wing… or she stuck with him, despite his complaints. For the next 4 years, he would teach her about the Renegade, the UGN, and Gjuams when he wasn't cold or drunk. Pia, desperate for connection with anyone, would strive to make him proud of her, to show him she cares for him. Eventually he left to create The Strangers, and he asked her to come with him. Feeling that he's only gotten worse, and that they wouldn't find Ceres, she did not accept.

Lois: **+Respect** -Embarrasement. "He taught me so much when I was hurting, and I couldn't help him."

### Amber

Amber was the nurse assigned to Pia after being found. Attending to her, she began a friendship with Pia, learning that Pia… really seemed to come from an isolated community. She spent her time showing Pia new things, teaching her things as well as help her through being bedridden and then physical therapy. Eventually, she did tell Pia she got married and was going to move away. Pia took this personally, being the first real connection she had after her years of loneliness.
