## Relationships

### Killing Game Participants

#### Launchpad McQuack

Launchpad McQuack is the person Drake values the most within the killing game, and often spend much of their time together. Prior to the killing game, Launchpad assisted Darkwing Duck fulfill his heroic duties in St. Canard, and during this period, took in custody of an orphaned girl in Gosalyn. While the two of them both forged a parental bond over Gosalyn, the bond evolved into the two displaying affections for one-another, and at some point in the eight months of stolen memories prior to the Killing Game, the two began a romantic relationship with one-another; this fact would be forgotten by the both of them after being thrusted into the Killing Game.

From the very beginning of the game, Drake displayed obvious affections for Launchpad, who soon began to display some of his own, although this remained oblivious to them and no one else. Despite this, the two found sufficient comfort in one another's company, both volunteering to cook daily meals, and at one point were seen sharing a bedroom together.

During the events of Chapter 2, both Darkwing and Launchpad confide in their assigned groups about their crushes; during this time, Darkwing goes public on his feelings, romanticizing about his height, eyes, and their shared admiration and knowledge of Darkwing lore. However, while the two become more forward with their appreciations of one-another, neither make the advance on the other, and while Drake finally brought up his courage to confess his feelings to Launchpad, he is never able to share his love through his own means, as his last act to persuade Launchpad away from danger after his suspicions arose were confirmed, when minutes later, Launchpad was the first to find his dead body.

Additional hints towards their relationship can be found in the character Q&As. When asked about his feelings on Launchpad, Drake insists he couldn't ask for anyone better to help fight crimes, or to help with "*their*" daughter's night terrors, flustering over the slip of tongue on the latter. In a later question for Launchpad, he affirms the same feelings Drake does; both having a romantic crush for the other, but doubtful the other would see them the same. When asked about the time the two spent in his room, Drake is adamant that he assisted Launchpad with sleeping issues, citing a brotherly bond he believed they had. When asked about last words he'd give to a person of his choosing, his choice words were "I love you." He gives no recipient but implies readers should know.

#### Mickey Mouse

Darkwing initially found Mickey to be nothing more than a citizen to protect, and often found himself speaking above on him, He was quick to scold him on numerous occasions, showing irritation at Mickey's passiveness in figuring out their situation, and was more commanding over his cooking, while simultaneously mincing his displeasure over Minnie and Launchpad burning most of the bacon. Their relationship evolved in Chapter 2 when the two of them were forcefully paired together along with José to improve and strengthen their bonds. The two find a mutual connection in their differing pursuits of love, where Mickey frequently jested over his lack of initiative to confess. Unfortunately, their time was cut short after Darkwing's untimely death, where Mickey was unmistakably horrified over discovering his body.

#### Minnie Mouse

Throughout their time together, both Darkwing and Minnie held mutual respect for one another. Darkwing was flattered when Minnie's generosity led her to assist in the cooking with him and Launchpad, and didn't harbor any ill-will when she burned much of the bacon. After his untimely passing, Minnie made sure to continue his pursuit to protect Launchpad from harm.

#### José Carioca

While Darkwing held no ill will against him, José Carioca often found the other hazardly oblivious and idiotic. In spite of this, however, the two of them stood on friendly terms. The two of them are assigned to the same group in Chapter 2 in a conjoined effort by the group to strengthen bonds and make new friendships, and find a common thread in their unrequited relationships, with José striving to bring Drake and Launchpad together through his abilities as a matchmaker, while him and Mickey coerce José to confess his feelings to Panchito. While his actions ultimately bear fruit, José's efforts prove in vain due to the events of the following days.

In the non-canonical Q&A segments, Drake has claimed that he was the one to calm José down once he entered the afterlife, and enlisted his utmost support while hearing José's emotions pour out. He also confirms that the two made up after José believed he was partially responsible for Drake's death.

#### Chip and Dale Pinetree

Darkwing had very differing relationships with the Pinetree Brothers. While Chip was cross about his intrusion to protect him from harm, Dale was much more open to working with him to the point of even parting ways with Chip over his opposition. This action caused Drake to gain more respect for him, and the two joined together to investigate the castle over the possibility of someone planning to murder.

### Darkwing Canon

#### Gosalyn Mallard

Gosalyn is Drake's adoptive daughter that him and Launchpad take care of. The three of them maintain a loving relationship, affectionately referring to each other with nicknames, Gossalyn calling Drake *"Darkwing Dad".*

#### Morgana Macawber

While Darkwing's personal relationship and social standing with Morgana are unknown, multiple hints have implied the existence of a dating relationship. When Morgana learns of Darkwing's fate within the game, her usual stoic demeanor falters slightly and audibly gasps his real life alias, indicating she is aware of his identity. Looking through the official Google Drive for Ronpa and Friends reveals the sprite used on the slide in question was titled "Ohshitmyexdied". Whether this is just an in-joke from creator Spade or implied canon is unknown.

However, in the non-canonical Q&A sessions, Drake refers to her as simply a good friend, excellent wingman, and steadfast ally in the field of battle.
