Carol Remendis/Relationships

## Theresia van Astrea

Carol and Theresia had a sister-like bond. Their relationship was always like that, at the beginning where Carol was more head-strong as someone who took great pride in their swordsmanship Carol very little of way respect for Theresia whom couldn't understand why she ran away from the gift she was given and thought her as nothing but a self-centered coward. At one point in her desire to see if she was truly the Sword Saint, she asked Theresia that she wants to take lessons from her, but she rejected the offer. She conducted an incident that would test her swordsmanship, but Theresia hit her before she gets the chance. Because the attack could have killed her Carol for the first time had looked in at Theresia in awe and fear. However, what surprised Carol the most when she expected a severe reprimand for her transgressions, she instead got strong kindness born out of genuine heartfelt worry for her life. It was then Carol understood the terror of Theresia's ability, the reason why she did not use it despite external forces forcing her to do so and the truly gentle heart of the girl who wields it and still cares for her despite Carol's disrespect which brought her great shame. From then on she began to develop deep admiration and love for Theresia, and do everything she could to ensure her happiness.

Carol possibly had romantic feelings for Theresia, seen by her jealousy of Wilhelm. She stated how her love for Theresia was no less than Wilhelm while clutching Theresia's hands. She noted how she would be willing to swordfight with Wilhelm so she could have Theresia for herself. She even mentioned how she wished to elope with her on the day of Theresia's wedding.

## Grimm Fauzen

Grimm was the man who eventually became her husband. She and he meet and served alongside during the civil war and would later personally train him to improve his shield combat. Eventually, over the latter half of the conflict, she would fall in love with him, and sometime after its end, they married after the events of Picoutatte in the Sword Demon's Battle Ballad.

## Roswaal J. Mathers

Carol thinks of Roswaal J. Mathers (Julia) as a dear friend. They spent a lot of time together during the demihuman war as she served as her escort. Carol was extremely respectful towards her and felt deep anguish when Julia sacrificed herself to save Carol's life. To the end, Carol thought of her as a beloved friend and mourned her death.

## Wilhelm van Astrea

Like Grimm, Carol became first acquainted with Wilhelm in the Demi-human War, but unlike the former, she and Wilhelm's relationship was rocky throughout much of it. In those days because Carol's strong-headed personality directly clashed with Wilhelm's curt and afoot one they ended up arguing quite a bit, leading Grimm to often step in act mediator as well as steering Carol away when one looked on verge of breaking out. 6 years into the war, of the 3 years Carol knew him things didn't get much better until Wilhelm had a series emotional events that would significantly change him, one of biggest being his continual rendezvous with Theresia which she secretly has known about. Although welcomed the kinder, gentler and more considerate Wilhelm came across as a sudden shock to her and took Carol awhile to adjust to was more amicable relationships between them. More than that, however, Carol would truly come to harbor gratitude, respect and some envy toward him for doing what she couldn't for Theresia by saving her heart from a seemly inevitable destiny.
