Tank/Relationships

Show/Hide Spoilers

## Family

### His Brother

Tank cares for his brother very much, raising him throughout his life. Tank wanted to protect his brother from the life he had growing up and had made the wish to be the latter's hero, which resulted in him ending up in Forever After. Not wanting to forget his brother, Tank begged the Fates to turn him into a fairy. Throughout the series, Tank encourages Robin to continue completing the stories as quickly as possible so he can reunite with his brother.

## Princes

### Robin

At first, Tank and Robin didn't get along very well. Robin didn't call Tank by his name for the longest time, nicknaming him various generic fairy names. It was only after being blinded by Gothel and he helped her, did she begin treating Tank a lot better, calling him by his real name. Robin's understanding of Tank began to grow as he explained his backstory to her after the Wicked Witch revealed their past as former Prince Charmings.

Their friendship began to develop further throughout the story of The Little Sea Maid as they worked together to give Aurelia happy. Tank's understanding of Robin also began to grow as she opened up to Aurelia about her life in the real world and how she was beginning to realise how she took the stuff she had in life for granted. After changing the ending of the Little Sea Maid with him, they grew even closer, being proud of being able to achieve such a feat.

    While in the story of Alice's Adventure in Wonderland, Robin helped Tank regain his human height. Robin would later hesitate completing the story, realising that Tank would have return to his normal height. However, Tank convinces Robin that completing the story was more important than his pride.

Shortly after their adventure, the two's ideals would fall at odds, with Robin trying to reason with Hira to free Briar Rose from his curse, and Tank justifying that they could not reason with witches and calling attention to how in his viewpoint, Robin never seemed to do things 'the hard way'. This would cause the two to go their separate ways.

While away from her, it is implied that Tank had reflected on the previous situation and was able to see Robin's perspective. With this in mind, Robin and Tank would both apologize to one another; deciding to stop pushing the other away and never leave the other again respectively.

Tank and Robin's friendship would later be tested in the Light Princess when it is discovered that someone must sacrifice their life to save the lake in the story. Tank would protest at the idea of Robin sacrificing her life, refusing to lose her. He would then offer to take her place, however he would be captured by Makemnoit, forcing Robin to make a decision, who would accepts the choice to sacrifice herself under the condition that Tank would not be harmed.

After Robin seemingly drowns, Tank drinks his growth potion; gifted to him by the Fates; in order to retrieve her lifeless body. While handling Robin's lifeless body, Tank is shown to holding her with the utmost care and as gently as possible. During all of this, Tank is being extremely distressed, grief-stricken and sorrowful over Robin's death. When Coira resurrects Robin, Tank is extremely grateful and relieved that she's all right.

Once the Light Princess' story is completed, Tank voices his pain in being left in Makemnoit's cage by Robin while the latter sacrificed herself, to which Robin responds that she is really sorry about. The two would be shown to be distressed after being told that they were going to separate for Robin's true story, further showing how much the two value one another as a team.

### Lea

Upon first meeting her, Tank was put off by Lea's abrasive personality. Tank acts as a mediator between her and Robin, always trying to keep peace between the two. While Tank is still put off by Lea's more violent tendencies and Lea only sees him as a sidekick, the two bond over being Prince Charmings who chose hard stories.

During their time in Anansi's tale, Tank tried to better understand Lea, with the latter negatively responding to the former's attempts. Their relationship would sour after Lea betrays the Fates. Tank's opinion of Lea would only further degrade as she taunted him about Robin and the Wicked Witch. Lea would then cut off one of Tank's wings and injury him severely.
## Protagonists

### Snow White

It was implied that the two knew each other to a certain degree, with them both knowing how many Princes had failed Snow's story.

### Briar Rose

After meeting Briar Rose again after 15 years, Tank helped Robin take care of the boy on the day of when his curse was supposed to activate. While Briar's overly carefree and energetic personality exasperated Tank, he still cared for him and was really upset about being unable to prevent his curse from activating.

### Rapunzel

The two didn't interact much outside of him giving Rapunzel childcare advice.

### Aurelia

When the two first met, Tank was quick to realise how childish and crazy Aurelia's crush on Prince Damir was. He was unaware of how Aurelia's original tale ended and thus, didn't see the issue of letting Aurelia trade her tail for legs.

After Robin revealed how Aurelia's original fairy tale ended, Tank showed great shock and apall to the original story. Just like Robin, he wanted to give her the happy ending that she deserved. After Aurelia reveals herself to Robin and the latter opened herself up to the former, Tank joined in, teaching Aurelia about caring for others' happiness. With that, he and Robin were able to convince Aurelia not to go to the Sea Witch and instead find a different way to achieve what she wanted, giving Aurelia her happy ending.

### Momotaro

Tank admired Momotaro's strength. He did his best to be of use to him throughout their journey together and fought beside him against the Demon Army.

### Alice

Tank and Alice met when the former was still a Prince Charming and he tried to help them through Wonderland. However, they were separated shortly after they met. Eventually Tank gave up on trying to complete Alice's story, unintentionally abandoning the latter.

After reuniting with Tank, it was shown that Alice didn't seem to hold much of a grudge for Tank leaving them, and though they were sad that he'd seemingly abandoned them, they were still happy to see him again. Tank on his part is very protective of Alice, repeatedly calming them down when their anxiety got the better of them and getting angry when the creatures of Wonderland showed no understanding or sympathy for the child. Tank also helped encourage Alice to do whatever made them feel most comfortable.

### Ming

Tank would help reassure Ming her place in the world, relating her feeling of being small and significant in the world with his curse making him feel weak. He assured her that no one is insignificant and that all the great deeds she has done were quite literally done by her. Later, he would place his life on the line to protect Ming from the Amanojaku.
