Lodi Diabolica/Relationships

#### Craeg Paradoxa

Lodi has somewhat of a complicated relationship with Craeg. Prior to Lodi joining BΣT, he wasn't too fond of him. He labelled the other as rude and inconsiderate, yet inwardly didn't understand why the other was so dismissive of him. He expressed disgust when faced with the possibility of working with the other and rejected Rhys' early proposals to rush BΣT due to this.

In terms of him being a team-mate, he views Craeg as somebody that could put everything into what he does if he really tried, and gets angry when he disregards things so simply. He often scolds the other about his lack of work, not understanding how Craeg can be so calm about it like it doesn't matter. He gets frustrated with Craeg because of this, often resorting to demanding the other to start or complete work before reluctantly accepting that he won't but dismissing him as a failure in turn. Despite their bickering, Lodi is genuinely proud of Craeg deep down when he does try, but has difficulty expressing it to him due to a fear of being rebuffed. Even though he is often portrayed to see Craeg in a negative light, he has deeper feelings towards the other, and shares a bond with him that, when broken, he doesn't take to well.

#### Rhys Basalis

As his fraternity brother and friend, Lodi is very close to Rhys. Rhys gave Lodi the chance to make something of himself after his incident with ΣΙΓ and as such, Lodi will go to great extents to look out for him, trusting him with nearly anything. The two are always there to defend and offer emotional support to one another when needed. Lodi cares more for Rhys than he does for anybody else, and does not take kindly to anything that might harm him, whether that be other students (including friends), fraternities or situations. Upsetting Rhys is an easy way to get on Lodi's bad side and it will be most likely impossible to gain his trust again.

#### ΒΣΤ Fans

Lodi considers his fans his friends, and will happily converse with them as such. As opposed to characters like Aaron, he does not view his fans as an addition to his popularity, but as people who share an interest in his life and his achievements, appreciating them for that and taking pleasure in getting to know them as friends in turn. It is in this sense that he isn't completely anti, as he enjoys their company and takes the time to be with them when he isn't spending it with his fraternity brothers. They are often seen accompanying Lodi, and, if not Lodi, he will still speak to and treat them like he would his own friends, as a friend to his fraternity brothers is a friend to ΒΣΤ overall.

Mercy Coronatus is Lodi's closest friend and as such, Lodi appreciates Mercy in a variety of different ways. He is always happy when she is around and enjoys her companionship above anybody else's (except for his fraternity), never rejecting her presence and never being reluctant to spend time with her. He is very supportive of her interest in blogging and is always intrigued to know what she is going to write about next. Despite having ended a relationship with each other in the past, the two remain on good friend terms and Lodi wouldn't really know what to do without her.### **ΣΙΓ**

* Aaron Arge
* Javier Avispón
* Jack & Dominic

#### Aaron Arge

Aaron and Lodi formed a competitive rivalry at some point in their college life, presumably after Lodi was unsuccessful in joining ΣIΓ. They are rivals in sports, popularity, and everything else. The two are typically evenly matched overall in terms of skill (in their relative fields, however), in which they inadvertently compare grades, make rude comments about one another and or talk about each other continuously. They have both have won their fair share of scrapes with each other.

Lodi considers Aaron bad at sports and academics, often referring to the other as a loser and dismissing his way of doing anything. Lodi takes every opportunity to degrade Aaron and make a comment. Despite his determination, many of his attempts to make a fool out of the other genuinely end up with him portrayed as desperate or insecure, putting others down so that he can feel better about himself. Sometimes, Lodi's ego is his own downfall, as his constant bragging makes him seem too persistent and comical.

#### Javier Avispón

Lodi does not think much of Javier and has little interaction with him. Due to Javier's reserved personality in comparison to other members of ΣΙΓ, it can be presumed that he annoys Lodi the least. This does not mean that Lodi likes him, however; he is still a brother of ΣΙΓ and thus is treated by Lodi as such.

#### Jack Vespula & Dominic Lisman

Lodi dislikes both Jack and Dominic due to their fraternity and their aggressive behaviour. He finds Craeg's ridiculing of the two cousins amusing, and will often join in with poking fun at them.### **ΜΓΧ**

#### Diana Mendica

Whilst appearing at first as though he can't stand her, Lodi actually has more of a complicated relationship with Diana. The two are generally seen bickering constantly as they want to defend their respective teams. Whilst they frequently fight and back-chat each other, he does in fact crave her attention in certain situations (and vice versa) and likes her being around just so he has the opportunity to get it. He seems to get bored in her absence.

### Popular Students

* Gerard Dae
* Isaach Sabuleti

#### Gerard Dae

As a student, Lodi seems to be very fond of Gerard. He considers Gerard's likable character and attitude worthy of his attention and something to be proud of, generally believing that they are quite close. Due to sharing a class with Gerard, he often chooses to study the subject with him whenever he can. He enjoys engaging in conversation with the other, usually finding it interesting regardless of the topic.

#### Isaach Sabuleti

Despite Isaach's popularity within the school, Lodi does not care much for him. Due to already being friends with Gerard, he doesn't bother trying to get to know Isaach and expresses annoyance when he is around.### Others

#### Courtney Pulchellum

As fellow students and friends, Courtney and Lodi are genuinely close. They became close after Courtney broke up with Aaron due to his attitude change after joining ΣΙΓ. She is one of the few Lodi shows his caring side to. They tend to share their problems with one another (usually regarding Aaron) and have a supportive relationship overall. The two respect each other's feelings towards Aaron (whom they openly share with one another), in hopes to cheer each other up or make each other feel a little better in certain situations, despite Aaron being Lodi's rival.

#### Lebah Miele

Lodi isn't that fond of Lebah, dismissing him as a nerdier version of ΣΙΓ albeit with weirder interests. He openly mocks Lebah's attempts to become noticed and additionally doesn't understand why Pierre, or anyone else can stand him. The two often engage in class debates, Lodi being one of the only students to do so with Lebah. He also isn't afraid to interrogate Lebah when he wants to know something.

#### Ashe Galathea

Lodi doesn't really think much of Ashe when confronting him around the school, yet seems to take some liking to the other and his appearance, most likely due to his self-confidence. He often teases the other about copying his 'style' and generally takes it as a compliment, another thing he tends to boast about.

## The Main Trio

* Pierre Swallowtail
* André Roveston
* Mo Skeeto

#### Pierre Swallowtail

At first, Lodi found Pierre's entry into the school suspicious, and does not understand why he protects people such as Lebah. Lodi is shown to pressure Pierre frequently throughout the school case, being confrontational, frank, and determined to recruit him as a supporter of his team. He attempts to use Pierre's altercation with André and Skeeto as means to do so, frequently reminding the other of his aversion to ΣΙΓ and how the others have associated themselves with the fraternity, and that Pierre is better than them because of this. He is additionally seen to act borderline and sometimes suggestively flirtatious to the butterfly, usually just through words, in further efforts to side with him. Despite wanting support, his efforts could be seen as genuine, appreciating another wealthy and sophisticated character being there to relate with...

#### André Roveston

Like Skeeto, Lodi does not find André respectable due to his morals and his entity into ΣΙΓ. He didn't really express any particular feelings towards Craeg's acquaintance with him at the beginning, but probably wasn't that too sure of it at the time. He finds André's arrival at the school suspicious and doesn't particularly associate with him. He additionally doesn't understand why Pierre would be that much of a friend to André (or Skeeto) after they temporarily left him for ΣΙΓ.

#### Skeeto

Due to the latter joining his competitors, Lodi isn't very respectable towards Skeeto. He finds his cheating something to be frowned upon and open expresses his disgust towards it, and him as a whole. Lodi cannot comprehend why ΣΙΓ even accepted him into their fraternity, and he finds his behaviour (as well as André's) suspicious.
