Risa Calhoun/Relationships

## Party

### Luke Brooks

Luke Brooks was a friend of Risa's. After she messed up the hotel reservation for herself, he let her stay at his place for the night, as they hung out and talked. After Ana was declared missing, she helped him deal with his worries the best that she could, even watching his bad tv shows to help him get over a break-up. When Ceryn was born, he came to her asking what to do with a child. She told him to raise it. Over time, they stopped talking as much, until Luke died.

### Lycus Bates

After running over Lycus Bates with a car, basically killing him and awakening his Renegade, Risa took it on herself to help him through being a Newbie at the UGN, after all, she was too. Despite their shaky start, the two of them became friends who would work together for the years to come. They would hang out, and go on increasingly strange and impossibly comical missions.

**Calista Calhoun**

One of the many reasons she took the assignment to join Seth's Experimental Team, was Calista Calhoun. Aware of her being her husbands sister, she wants to watch out for her, make sure she isn't going to be a victim in this. She sees a little bit of herself in her, and wants her to take it easier, to focus on the moments before they pass by. She has not told Calista that she is her Sister-in-Law

## Family

### Mom

Risa and her mom had a strong relationship for a very long time. The two would talk almost every other day about what was going on, what was new, and what boys Risa was looking at. She wasnt super into the last bit, but the two love eachother, even if Risa feels a bit overburdened by her expectations. After the marriage with Chris, the two's relationship distanced after she wouldnt answer any questions on if she wanted kids.

### Dad

Risa and her dad have a fine relationship. Hes a bit distant, hard to talk to, but Risa tried to bridge that gap by getting into the same things he was. Old grunge and rock music, cars, and eventually beer. The two are friendly, but never talk.

## Family... 2

### Chris Calhoun

Chris and Risa first met outside of work correspondence in Nevada at one of Chris' hotels, mid breakdown. Chris offered her a hand, and Risa was glad someone was there to help. They began a friendship quickly, truely loving eachother's company. They never really offically were "dating", but when Chris' father passed away and he was looking towards what the future meant, he proposed to her. She accepted. Their marriage was good for a while, but it slowly faded over time. She never told him what the UGN did, as she wishes he could just be the part of her life that wasnt UGN work, still lying about it to this day. Risa would learn that she just doesn't love Chris in the same way he does her, and when he broached the subject of having kids, she shut him out for good. She stopped coming home as much, even later, and eventually just on the weekends. She wishes she could have loved him the way she wanted to.

Lois: +Love **-Remorse**

## Other

### Pamela Barlowe

Ever since she was young, Risa would love to watch Pamela Barlowe movies. So when she met Pamela during the Arc 0 mission, she was very excited. To this day, Risa remembers her words. "Yeah, I fucking ate her!" And "Don't hit me with a car you bitch!"

**Alfred Cauldwell**

Cauldwell was a speaker who guested at Risa's college more than once. Entranced by his lectures, she was surprised when he approached her, telling her he's heard about her from the faculty. He seemed to have an interest in her, and got her a job promised after she graduated. When she did, he forcibly awoke her powers, telling her about his ideas for the UGN. She felt good, knowing she was a part of something good for humanity. Even as he replaced her job as his aide, she felt happy that he gave her a direction in her life when she needed it. When Cauldwell left the UGN, it felt like a betrayal.
