Cordelia “Cor” Jackson Sommers/Relationships

## Amen Said

She tolerates him. Even though she never had a personal interaction with the boy beyond recruitment, there’s still much she has to tolerate. Just watching his smug, provoking nature reminds her of too many folks she knows. His records also already set a foundation of unease. If anything, she’s keeping a very close eye on him and hopes he’s aboard her vessel with good intentions.

## Aster Vega Blumenthal

Meek and careful. Watching the crew mingle during the first few weeks already put a smile on her face knowing Aster may open up. She knows of his family and understands his kinds of struggles because they are so similar to her own. But that also means she believes he can truly blossom in this particular environment. In all honesty, she doesn’t think he can be a particularly good fisher since he seems lost within himself, but she thinks that’s OK. She hopes he can find some independence, believing the day he leaves her crew to be the day he’s truly successful in life.

## Briar Amaria Wilkes

Based on the few glimpses she’s seen, Cor is absurdly curious about this girl. Her records felt almost incomplete, never quite getting a full picture of who Briar is as a person. Even her interactions seemed shallow yet sure, as if she had known her peers all her life. It allows Cor to understand how the girl may not be living in a moment, passing by everything like a haze. It’s… fascinating but also very much like a person who’d join Cor’s crew-- Someone who feels that everything around them is temporary.

## Chunlin Wu

The only thing she knows about her is what’s recorded on paper; Even then, the information is absurdly dubious. She’s yet to understand why Chunlin even joined her crew in particular, but she assumes she’s either lost or running from something like the rest of the youths. Still, she enjoys the girl’s enthusiasm and is curious to observe her during future cases.

## Cicero Alesandro Price

He's lost-- existing in the wrong place in almost every way. She finds he lives his life with tunnel vision, incapable of seeing anything unless it is placed before him. His ignorance almost seems willful to her, even though she understands that he just doesn’t know better. Still, she’s almost saddened by his inability to objectively look at himself and the world around him. Knowing fisher life is a blind educational pursuit for him, she’s expecting a rude awakening in his future.

## Diana Abeque Joy

Knowing her history as a captain, it almost compels Cor to neglect Diana entirely. This is out of sheer respect, finding her capable of operating within her own means without a need for supervision. If anything, Cor almost thinks Diana doesn’t belong in her crew. She assumes the woman could get paid far more if she applied for a vessel elsewhere and wouldn’t be offended if she up and left at any moment.

## Gia Mai

Cor views Gia as a project case. She already finds her stubborn and absurdly hypocritical but has great potential for growth. As her superior, she aims to actively mentor her so that even if she leaves tomorrow she can move forward in life. She believes the girl is somehow subjecting herself to some stagnant cycle, running from the truth of any situation. Which, if anything, is continuously frustrating to watch.

## Xǔ "Henry" Weihao

She has a huge distaste for law-hugging types, especially so because of her family. It doesn’t help that not only is the man so predictable and by-the-book with his social approaches, he also seems to lack direction… or an ‘end game,’ really. Ultimately, this makes his adaptability admirable but also worrisome. Still, she finds his work history extremely valuable, taking it as a learning experience for herself to observe how he operates.

## Janet Susan Langdon

Not enough interaction to pass a strong judgment.

## Lucius Jan van Niel

She already sees that his personal affairs can obstruct his social and work-life and is genuinely disappointed by this. Not because of his fisher productivity, but because he doesn’t try to work through them. This makes him a liability and tempts her to push him more, challenge him even. But ultimately, to show him the bittersweet beauty and importance of both memories and loss found in a fisher lifestyle.

## Mallory Blackwell

Sharing many qualities with someone she holds dear, she has to remind herself that this boy isn’t the same person. This experience though allows her to understand he doesn’t need to be hand-held; His view of the world is far beyond anyone’s comprehension, and all she needs to do is establish an environment that enables that. Still, looking at him makes her a bit sad. Mallory has so much support and people who care for him that she wished the other person also had.

## Misora Hayashi

While Cor hasn’t interacted with her much, she already considers her a strong asset to the crew. Her colorful history and domestic experiences is vital in understanding the lives of others. She also respects and admires Mimi’s values towards her own life and opinions as well as her ability to operate on her own schedule.

## Mori Gil El-Dhakiri

Not enough interaction to pass a strong judgment.

## Octavian Englle

She craves a genuine conversation with him. It’s less about curiosity and more about wanting to see the truth of a person. Watching his enigmatic self walk around makes her wary due to his sheer unpredictability, especially so since she senses a resolve within him. Not knowing what it points to makes her doubt his ability to truly connect with others... or maybe just makes her uncomfortable because it's her who can't connect to him.

## Thomas Pertz

Honest. He already told her the bulk of his story, so she already revels in a sense of strong camaraderie. This is what empathizing is about, really. Knowing so much about a person’s life you can see them for who they are. Even before becoming her crew member, he allowed her this connection, and she has boundless respect and appreciation regarding that. Knowing his experiences also makes her to believe he’s that much closer to understanding death more than others, which can be a beautiful thing she almost envies.
