## Relationships

### Captain Grace

Captain Grace considers Funny Trick her best friend, though Funny Trick does not feel the same way. The only person who is convinced that she can’t get any stronger against Captain Grace is Funny Trick herself.

After Captain Grace’s death at the hands of Sonia Bean, it is revealed that Funny Trick felt terrorized by Captain Grace since childhood. Funny Trick describes Captain Grace as a monster and lived in fear of her. She felt she could never escape from Captain Grace.

Pukin accuses Funny Trick of being delighted at Captain Grace’s death, but this is not true. While Funny Trick had complex feelings towards Captain Grace, she was not happy that she died. Funny Trick draws her strength from Captain Grace's influence even after the latter’s death.

### Weddin

Funny Trick is teammates with Weddin. Funny Trick witnessed Weddin's brainwash by Pukin's hands when she was taken hostage by Pythie Frederica's group. When she meets up with Weddin again, she is distrustful of Weddin after seeing her brainwashed and tries to run away from her. This is quickly resolved and Funny Trick cries in Weddin's arms after the experience they went through together.

Pukin thinks that Funny Trick is the assassin that they're in search for. She claims that because of her keen inspector's eye, she is able to tell people's true nature. Pukin says that she was able to see the faintest gleam of glee in Funny Trick's eye, even though Captain Grace, her friend, had just been killed in front of her. She even brings Sonia Bean and tells her to greet Funny Trick in order to annoy her.

After Frederica confronts Funny Trick with Pukin's accusation, Funny Trick panics and begins to scream. Pukin gets irritated and throws a plate at Funny Trick, reducing her to only sobs. She tells Funny Trick not to scream at her in a nonsense tongue, and to be quiet since she was at dinner.

When Frederica asks if Pukin still believes that Funny Trick is the assassin, Pukin says that she's changed her mind and her evaluation based on new information and that Funny Trick is simply an abnormal person.
