Ihwa/Relationships

#### Yeon (Older Sister)

Ihwa was close with Yeon as she adored her older sister. In all of her memories of her, Ihwa always thought of older sister to be a warm and person. After learning about Yeon's connection with the Hero Clan and having to do their dirty work, she could barely control her rage and bloodlust towards the clan.

#### Ijincheon (Father)

Ihwa has no real feelings towards her father as she yet to meet him or even know that she has a father.

#### Unnamed Mother

Ihwa has no real feelings towards her mother as she isn't even aware that she has one. She didn't show any signs of discomfort in admitting that she doesn't have one either when she met Prim Anville.

#### Nenya (Adoptive Younger Sister)

Ihwa slowly grew but became greatly attached to the young girl. Aside from Yeon and Yushin, it had a been long time since she had formed a familial kind of bond with anyone. After her death at the hands of Jintae, Ihwa cried for the first time in her life after she had forgotten her emotions regrading sadness and since her death she slightly reverted back to her old self and became more visible hostile towards anyone that wanted to pick a fight with her but like with Yeon, Ihwa has sworn to avenge her by killing Jintae. This becoming one of her new drives while improving herself.

#### Yushin (Former Teacher/Guardian)

Ihwa is close with Yushin as she refers to him as "old man" and the former Elder showing a mutual feeling. The swordsman is, for all intents and purposes, is the closest thing that she has for a father figure. Yushin is also one of the very few people whom Ihwa genuinely trust and puts an effort to keep safe with her showing concern about him after his fight with Victoria even while keeping a firm belief in his strength. Whenever she's facing difficulty in a fight, she'll think back and remember her days of training with the swordsman for answers and solutions.

### The Nameless

#### Engen (Leader)

Ihwa views Engen as a source of inspiration to admire. She respects him for his power as a villain and wisdom.

#### Rachel Sinclair (Best Friend)

Rachel is Ihwa's best friend with the two girls being incredibly close in the Nameless due to their similar goals of vengeance, respective desires of becoming stronger, and quirkiness. While the two had a somewhat rough start with Rachel being the one to haze Ihwa during her first meeting with the Nameless and Ihwa viewing her as a simple-minded idiot, the two villains oddly got along with each other. This was first shown when Ihwa noticed Rachel's effort to help her out during the attack on District 17: Dust City's Hero Clan HQ. She would share her protein bar with Rachel, which itself is very VERY rare as Ihwa almost never shares her food with anyone. From then on, the two girls slowly but eventually formed a bond and mutual trust that has only gotten stronger with their mirroring eccentrics and goals.

#### Vector

Ihwa didn't think much about Vector at first as she threatened him the moment they firat met and even once thought about killing him just to get his gift but the two eventually became friends as she takes immense joy in teasing and messing with him. The two villains also share a distaste in killing civilians and stopping others from committing such acts.

#### John Nash

Ihwa and John's first meeting was less than friendly with the near silent villain threatening her and stating that he didn't like her. At first the two didn't interact very much but this changed after his first death with Ihwa becoming confused after seeing him in his small form. Just like with Vector, Ihwa would find the time to tease and make fun of John but relied on him during her get away from the Hero Clan's District 16: Cloud Garden's HQ. The two still maintain a certain distance from each one another but Ihwa has grown fond of John like the rest of the villainous misfits.

#### Baek-Ji

Ihwa and Baek-Ji immediately became friends in their first interaction with each other. While they haven't know each other for very long, Baek-Ji respects her power as a villain while also seeing her as unique due to her Gift and its abilities. Ihwa even "helped" Baek-Ji out of her depressing fit when the rest of the Nameless were captured by Jintae and his gang.

#### Bagna

It's unknown on how Ihwa feels towards Bagna besides seeing him as crazy after hearing his dream.

#### Pudding (Subordinate/Pet)

Ihwa didn't really know what to make of her mysterious jellyfish, initially seeing it as food at first. But she has grown fond of Pudding after it's accomplishment of winning Nenya.

### Villains

#### Chain

At first, Ihwa didn't think much about the old villain with her only seeing him as means to end during their first meeting. But in their later interactions, Ihwa enjoyed teasing Chain for his fear of Engen while also immediately seeing right through his plans of supporting her in favor of protection during their encounter in Cloud Garden. However, the relationship between the two villains would change drastically after they met again in Nostra. Ihwa came to rely on Chain in protecting Nenya while away on missions and she started to see Chain in a new perceptive with his strength being a benefit along with his immense experience helping her deal with the problems regarding The Torch. While still enjoying making fun of him she came to respect him just a bit more, nonetheless. Chain would even allow her to wield him in his Sword form as they fought together against Farza and The Punisher. And while she didn't accept Chain's offer to come with him on his journey and leave the Nameless, the two villains parted on good terms.

### Hero Clan

#### Lyca (Friend)

Ihwa considers Lyca to be her one of closet friends in the Hero Clan despite her hatred for the organization. While the two were hostile towards each other during their fight as Ihwa had to hold back in killing her, they became comrades in fighting against Condor during the Hero Trails.

#### Fazin

Like with Lyca, Ihwa views Fazin as a friend and a trusted ally.
