## Relationships

### David Claude Blanchet *(father)*

Mr. Blanchet and Alix have a great relationship. They have relied on each other for emotional support during all Mrs. Blanchet's journey through the years. In Alix's childhood up to his pre-teen years, Alix and his father spent a lot of time together baking, cooking, watching films, hiking, and museum-going. The frequently had father-son time, which both parties extremely enjoyed. Unfortunately, when Mrs. Blanchet was diagnosed with breast cancer when Alix turned 14, Alix's father had to take on extra jobs as his wife retired due to the sickness. This caused Alix and his father to grow apart slightly, as Alix's father had less time to do the things they used to do during Alix's childhood and pre-teen years. Now, Alix and his father rely on each other more than ever before as they recover from Mrs. Blanchet's death and try to grow as close as they were previously.

### Megan Eloise Blanchet *(mother)*

Mrs. Blanchet and Alix had a wonderful relationship during her lifespan. Alix's mother served as his main tutor and they spent lots of time together during elementary and middle school as she helped Alix with his homework and to star studenthood. Alix and his mother share the thrill for theme parks and often went during the weekends when Alix was little. At the end of Alix's 8th grade year, Mrs. Blanchet was diagnosed with breast cancer, which caused a deep rift in Alix's relationship with her. Instead of being as open and honest as he used to be, he'd withhold things to spare her feelings and ideals. Things would be tense when Mrs. Blanchet would withhold information about her treatment, and Alix about his feelings on it. When the cancer got worse as Alix went into his junior year, they'd get into fights about how things were being handled. Alix felt extremely guilty because the last time he saw his mother before her death and the inevitable plane crash, they'd got into one of those fights and he had not yet had the chance to apologize.

While things may have grown rocky, both parties still deeply loved each other and the conflict was truly due to the sincere disbelief, fear, and lack of understanding of how to process the information that was Mrs. Blanchet's declining condition.

### Lexi Storm *(girlfriend)*

At first, Lex and Alix didn't get along too well. They weren't enemies per say, but both individuals were and are extremely stubborn, which led to many arguments and lots of clashing. However, all of their fighting was due to trying to keep the other safe. Eventually, they both took over somewhat leading positions on the island due to their knowledge on the topic (Lex's from medical books and Alix's from general reading). They grew closer together and through their stubborness grew to care for each other, resulting in a blossoming friendship.

Both parties were often teased about liking each other, given Alix's conventually attractiveness as well as Lex's, and the way they were always with each other and looking out for each other. Eventually, to mess with Lex, Alix adopted the nickname *miel,* meaning honey in his mother tongue, to use sarcastically when speaking with her. She was very frustrated, not understand what this meant, until Alix was exposed and embarrassed about it. Nevertheless, he soon managed to convince Lex to adopt the nickname *beau gosse,* meaning pretty boy in French, for him convincing her it meant silly goose. She often used this nickname, only to realize it meant something romantic and to cease it's use.

During Rachel and Alix's mutual apology regarding the firearm incident, Lex eavesdropped on the conversation and perceived it as a romantic relationship's beginning. This caused severe fighting and conflict between her and Alix due to the misunderstanding, but later she shared her frustration, and Alix cleared up. This allowed her romantic feelings to become present as well as Alix's to develop.

Lex, during a moment of passion, attempts to swim back to the completely sunk plane to retrieve supplies. Alix, knowing this is a stupid idea, tries everything to prevent her from going. In this moment, his realization of his feelings are cemented and he decides kissing Lex is the only way to prevent her from going. This works, and Lex, in shock, stumbles back to the main shelter.

Things were awkward between the two, but eventually, they worked them out with a confession in Lex's family's abandoned cabin kitchen. Eventually, after more awkwardness, the two decide to try a romantic relationship out of the mutual feelings, and have been dating since.

### Liz Oliver *(close friend)*

Since the plane first crashed, Liz and Alix have always had a pretty amicable relationship. However, during the course of the island, Alix got to know her and enjoy her company. Liz got a good sense for when he was feeling extremely upset and came to his comfort. For the first time, Alix completely opened up about everything to do with his feelings about his mother and her situation. Liz comforted and reassured Alix, trying to cheer him up without invalidating Alix's feelings. In return, Alix tried to help reassure her about her memory loss and the fate of the group. Since Alix and Liz's vulnerability and honesty in that conversation, things were going well for their friendship. When Alix discovered Liz bloody and unconscious in the greenery with Rachel in a seemingly suspicious position, he didn't hesitate to assume the worst and to try to help and defend Liz. He is extremely relieved to see her awake at the hospital after those injuries.

### Rachel Maya Price *(frenemy)*

Rachel and Alix's relationship already started out rocky, given how energetic she was and his calm composure as well as her accidentally setting off the SOS firearm. After Alix's blow up at her and her tears, he felt guilty and the two mutually apologized. While the relationship was temporarily mended, it was only ruined again when he found Rachel over Liz's bloody, unconscious body in the island wild and assumed she tried to do something to intentionally hurt Liz. Even though Liz survived and is expected to make a recovery, Alix and Rachel's relationship hasn't fully recovered.

### Emily Chu *(friend)*

Emily and Alix work closely together to help the French club thrive. They've done various bake sales, cultural events, and fundraisers as well as convinced dozens of students to join the club or take French as their language. Emily is worried about Alix when he disappears. They have a good relationship, but don't see each other too often outside of school besides any French club projects.

### Leo Turner *(friend)*
