Aja Tarron/Relationships

A list of **Aja Tarron**'s relationships with certain characters throughout the franchise.

## Romances

### Steve Palchuk

“*My ninja-kicking angel...*”
―Steve to Aja before their first kiss[src]

Steve is Aja's boyfriend. At first, she believed Steve to be an alien imposter sent to kill her and her brother. However, she learns the truth and begins to develop feelings for him. They share a romantic moment in a tree as Steve tells her what the stars are called but it was shortly ruined when Aja's true form starts to appear.

Aja was reluctant to tell Steve the truth about herself, especially when they were captured by the Zeron Brotherhood together with Krel and how much he trash-talked how disgusting aliens are. However, when he discovers that Aja is an alien, he is taken away by her beauty and accepts her for who she is, much to her delight, and he promises to never tell anyone about her and her brother.

They later share their first kiss (in Aja's human form) during the Eternal Night battle in "Last Night on Earth", but they have been officially dating since "Party Crashers". Later she kissed Steve (for the first time in her Akiridion form) briefly after Steve saved her and Krel from dissection in "Ill Gotten Gains". Eventually they had an intense kiss in "A Glorious End, Part One" during the fight against Kubritz, Morando, and their Omens.

In multiple occasions during "Moving Day", Steve and Aja can be seen holding their hands together, patting on each other's shoulders and/or smiling at each other for comfort. She looked very much impressed when she saw Steve stopping Eli's attack to tell him Aja and Krel are good Akiridions, and knowing that he kept his previous promise of not letting anybody know about the true identity of Aja and Krel.

In "There's Something About Gwen (of Gorbon)", Steve thought their sneak trip to the Planetarium was of a romantic date, and got very disappointed to hear it was for a stealth mission. This led him getting pretty angry when his last attempt of asking her to date (On the K-I-S-S-I-N-G tree) failed, and ultimately had a quarrel with Aja. Fortunately, Gwendolyn's threat of eating Stuart came just in time to resolve the situation as they quickly team up to retrieve Stuart from her mouth. Later, Stuart's confrontation to Gwendolyn made her feel like having some alone time with Steve, so they end up spending quality time at Benoit's for a human date, to which Aja ends up liking as well. They exchanged confessions to each other and got too nervous to a point where the both of them laugh for being too shy to speak, with Steve blushing over his entire body and eventually mistaking his answering of Aja's request for a dinner together the next day. Luckily, Aja seemed to understand Steve was too nervous to answer and didn't take it seriously.

At the end of the series, Aja returns to her home planet to take her rightful place as the new queen of Akiridion-5. She offers to have Steve come with her as the first Earth ambassador, but Steve politely declines since he wants to reconnect with his family on Earth, which Aja understood. They decide to have a long-distance relationship and promise to visit and contact each other soon.

In Rise of the Titans, Aja reunites with Steve after returning to Earth to discuss the urgent matter of the Arcane Order’s plans to reawaken the Titans. However, when Steve kisses Aja, she worriedly backs away telling him that he should not have done that. Afterwards, an attractive and unrecognizable Eli follows, causing Steve to mistakenly believe he stole Aja, although Aja clears up that they are still dating, but she then breaks the news that the have shared their seventh kiss. Much to Steve’s shock, Aja tells him that when Akiridion couples share their seventh kiss, they conceive children. Steve is flabbergasted when he starts believing she is pregnant, only to receive much more shocking news: *he* will be the one carrying their children. Almost instantly, his stomach swells up with his and Aja’s children, much to the couple’s worry. When Aja leaves to stop one of the Titans, she bids Steve good luck and asks him to protect their little ones. Steve then promises to do so. Nearing the final battle, Steve unexpectedly goes into labor, causing Aja to send him and Eli to a spot far away from the battle in order to keep both Steve and their children safe. Afterwards, Steve returns with seven Akiridion-Human-hybrid babies, much to Aja’s joy as she meets their six daughters and one son. She celebrates the team’s victory with her new family, but they cease once they find Toby dying. Sadly, these children cease to exist after Jim resets the timeline, causing Aja’s relationship with Steve (and her babies) to fade out of existence since it has not yet happened. It is unknown if the relationship will follow through with the original timeline given the new changes, although it is most likely possible.

## Family

### King Fialkov and Queen Coranda

“*Royal or not, you are extraordinary, Aja. That is what you are constantly running away from. You could leave this palace, fly far away from here...and your destiny would follow you*”
―Coranda to Aja during a flashback[src]
Fialkov and Coranda are Aja's parents. When Coranda catches her daughter running away, she gives her motherly advice about her role as a royal. She becomes deeply hurt when they had to be put in stasis. She awaits their regenerations and blames herself for losing her parents (until she learns that Varvatos was the one to blame).

In Part Two, Aja began to question her parents' honor after she learns that they have refused to interfere with the civil war on Voltar, and after Vex told her that they refused to pursue the Zerons when they killed hundreds of Akiridions and his family amongst them. She then decides that if she ever took the throne one day, she would fix the mistakes her parents have unintentionally made worse. In "The Big Sleep", Aja discovers that her mother was a noble warrior just like her, much to her amazement.

By the end of the series, Fialkov and Coranda were revived at last, but they end up sacrificing their lives to defeat Morando and save the world. Aja and Krel tearfully begged them to let them sacrifice themselves instead, but their parents encourage them to be brave and that they are better than they think. As the king and queen begin to disappear, Aja and Krel bid a tearful goodbye to their parents.

### Krel Tarron

“*Hey, before the ceremony, Papa told me that we are* all *each other has. That's why I'm not afraid. Because I have you*”
―Krel to Aja[src]

Krel is her younger brother who, despite constantly arguing with on rare occasions, she cares deeply for. After they had to flee from Akiridion-5, Krel comforts Aja when she blames herself for the invasion and they stick by each other's sides no matter what. Krel tells her that he doesn't feel afraid as long as he's always with his older sister.

In Part Two, Aja and Krel remain inseparable and come to accept Earth as their second home. They were both willing to sacrifice their cores to protect their parents. After the death of their parents, when Krel decides to stay on Earth to be with the friends he's made, Aja proudly understands his reason and they both promise to visit each other often.

### Luug

Luug is Aja's royal pet. Although annoyed whenever he runs from her, she loves her dog dearly.

## Friends/Allies

### Varvatos Vex

As her entrusted guardian and mentor, Aja looked up to Vex not just as her family's commander, but as a friend, despite his zealous and somewhat obsessive nature.

However, when she discovers that Vex was the one who helped Morando invade her planet, she was instantly hurt and betrayed. Although she was against the idea of executing him, she exiles him into staying on Earth forever instead.

In the end, her negative views of Vex immediately fade away when he sacrifices himself to stop their mothership from leaving Earth, but not before apologizing to Aja and Krel for his misdeeds and telling them that they were unstoppable together. She becomes worried for her guardian/mentor's disappearance and tries to search for him.

In Part Two, the two remain close as they continue to train and combat each other in a more friendly approach. However, when Varvatos tries use Fialkov and Coranda's life cores to defeat Morando for good, Aja was incredibly distraught and lashes out at him in denial of the bigger picture, even threatening to kill him and decide what to do with him again once their battle was over. Luckily, after defeating Morando, Varvatos decides to join Aja back on Akiridion-5 as he is still her guardian and mentor.

### Zadra

As her parents' lieutenant, Aja sees Zadra as a close caretaker, as close as Vex's. Aja mentions in "Party Crashers", that Zadra has told her stories about the stars and other planets filled with life forms when she was a child. When Zadra arrives on Earth, she was greatly relieved that she was still alive. Zadra later becomes hers and Krel's new guardian after Vex's disappearance.

### Mothership

She was a caregiver and surrogate mother for Ajay Krel during his time on Earth.

### Stuart

At first, Aja thought Stuart was a bounty hunter disguised as a human. However, he later reveals himself to be just a harmless, friendly Durian who has been living on Earth for 30 years after escaping a military base. They later become good friends and she usually goes to him for advice on how to be human. She's shown annoyance towards Stuart's incompetence, but appreciates his good intentions and high knowledge of Earth and its cultures.

### Eli Pepperjack

Aja and Eli have little interactions throughout Part One of *3Below*, but it's presumed that they are mutual friends. Aja is mildly annoyed with Eli when he stalks them almost 24/7.

During Part Two, Eli thought that Aja and Krel are dangerous space invaders, but Steve convinces Eli that Aja and Krel are not evil. He then becomes one of their useful Earth allies. Eli then volunteers to visit Akiridion-5 with Aja as its first Earth ambassador after Steve declines the offer.

### Mary Wang and Darci Scott

When Aja arrived in town, Darci and Mary invited Aja to join their popular girl group because they saw her stand up to Steve by punching him and she accidentally got school cancelled early when the Skeltegs invaded the building. They also gave Aja advice on how to act during her first date with Steve. Mary and Darci were upset when they heard Aja was leaving, but are not anymore, since she and Krel are stuck on Earth for a little longer.

In Part Two, they (along with the rest of the Arcadia citizens) help defend Aja and Krel from Kubritz after she threatens everyone to tell them where the siblings are. Strangely, Mary and Darci are not seen watching Aja go back to Akiridion-5, despite them being Aja's best friends.

### Toby Domzalski

Aja and Toby first met each other during "In Good Hands/Lightning in a Bottle". Aja was fascinated by his braces and saw him as a good friend.

In Part Two of *3Below*, when Toby learns that she and Krel were aliens, he was completely shocked, but then quickly got over it. The two become close friends and helps her find Gaylen's Core in Trollmarket.

### AAARRRGGHH!!!

At first, Aja first mistaken him as a monster, but Toby explains that AAARRRGGHH!!! is his partner and a Trollhunter as well. The troll and the Akiridion then form a bond of sorts as Aja saw him as a "magnificent creature". He was even willing to help protect her from Tronos when he attacks.

### Jim Lake Jr.

Originally, Aja first met Jim when they bumped into each other during a science fair in "D'aja Vu". When a trickster troll, Porgon, steals Akiridion tech and uses it to restart time, Aja and Jim are the only ones who remember the time loop (due to Jim's amulet and Aja's serrator protecting their memories) and they team up to solve this problem. Jim was at first surprised to learn that Aja is an alien (a word that offends her greatly), but explains that it wasn't that strange to him, considering his experiences with magic and trolls. Despite knowing each other for a short time, Aja and Jim form a bond with each other about their importances of being a warrior. When Aja recklessly rushed into battle without a plan, Jim explains that his overconfidence has almost gotten himself and his friends killed once and understands what Aja is feeling: unable to protect the people they care about and trying to prevent more tragedies.

After they manage to take the battery away from the troll and are caught in public with their friends, they decide to use the battery to make sure nobody remembers (costing their own memories of each other in the process). Jim and Aja were both visibly saddened that they wouldn't remember each other after everything they've gone through together, but promised that fate would unite them once again someday.

During "Lightning in a Bottle", while Aja tries to find her lost serrator, she mistakes Jim's amulet as her serrator. However, she later realizes that his amulet wasn't her serrator and helps him and his friends capture lightning in a bottle. When the Eternal Night begins, she immediately recognizes Jim, despite his new troll form, but they don't interact (merely glancing at each other).

In Part Two of *3Below*, Aja and Jim briefly greet each other when Toby calls him to ask about Kanjigar protecting Gaylen's Core (though he was too busy fighting off a mysterious armored foe in New Jersey).

### Claire Nuñez and Blinky Galadrigal

The only time Claire and Blinky have met Aja directly (and not in reunions) is after Krel used his serrator shield to prevent Porgon from erasing their memory, but their memory got erased afterwards anyways.

### Douxie Casperan

Similar to Claire and Blinky, Aja and Douxie have never spoken to each other, and have only been on screen at the same time several times (mostly endings, reunions and fights), nonetheless they still are on the same side.

## Enemies

### General Morando

Although Morando and Aja have barely seen each other in person, even as he usurped the throne, it's clear that Aja despises Morando, especially after he destroys her parents' physical bodies. She finally has a one-way confrontation with the evil general in "Bad Omen", where he openly mocks Aja for rushing into battle unprepared. However, she later reveals to Morando that she has been training as a warrior princess, but Morando most likely didn't appear fazed by this fact.

After Aja and Krel destroy Omen and gives out a heartwarming speech to Akiridion-5 to never surrender to Morando, Morando decides to launch an invasion on Earth so he could kill the children himself.

Aja finally confronts Morando face-to-face in "Luug's Day Out", though she was instantly frightened by his presence. When he becomes a god, she tries to slow him down with everything she's got. Then she and Krel use Seklos' Cannon to destroy Morando and end his reign of terror and tyranny once and for all.

### Colonel Kubritz (formerly)

Aja finds Kubritz to be a deplorable human being, especially after learning she has been kidnapping alien refugees (usually just to experiment and dissect them afterwards), despite not knowing why they would come to Earth.

In Part Two, Aja begins to realize just how power-hungry and insane Kubritz truly was, especially after she threatens to end her friends' lives (and they were human). She even calls the colonel out for her hypocrisy and allying herself with the worst aliens in the galaxy while wanting to kill good aliens. And Aja despised how she kept blaming her for endangering innocent lives, when it was really her fault in the first place.

Despite that, she tried to reason with the twisted colonel that Morando was only using her and would kill her once he got what he wanted, but she doesn't listen and initially thought they were all lies. Once Kubritz learns too late that Aja was telling the truth all along, she sacrifices herself to weaken Morando.

### The Arcane Order

In Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, Akiridions helped prevent the Arcane Order from resetting all life forms on Earth. Krel and Stuart made an anti-magic machine to stop the Arcane Order, later, Aja Tarron, Krel Tarron, and perhaps Stuart rebuilt the Flying Castle of Camelot and the Amulet of Daylight with Akiridion technology, and with the help of Eli and Varvatos, tried to use a Gun Robot to defeat the Fire Titan.
