• Frenzy: Frenzy & Creamcake were each others' first ever friends, having met as children during a royal ball, long before either of them had even come up with their chosen names. Frenzy had wanted to apply for a position as the court magician, ...despite nobody asking for or needing one. Princess Strawberry had been excited to finally meet someone who was around her age, volunteering as his assistant for the show, & the two became quick friends. While the two were ultimately apprehended for the stunt & given an earful by their respective parents, this remained the happiest memory of her childhood for a long, long time.

Currently, as adults, Frenzy & Creamcake are close friends; the two bumping into each other shortly after Creamcake ran away from home, Frenzy offering to let her tag along on his way home to Gumwood. However, due to Frenzy having transitioned as well as having prosopagnosia, Creamcake refusing to talk about her past, and the two just generally being idiots, neither of them really recognise each other as their childhood friends at first. But as the familiarities begin to grow, as they both learn more about & develop feelings for each other, it's only a matter of time before things click into place.

Frenzy finds Creamcake almost... inspirational. It's a genuine wonder how she's able to pick herself up so soon after a failure, & how seemlessly she fits into the town. That's one thing Frenzy never felt he could achieve, having little social skills outside of the stage. He finds her cute, selfless, friendly, & endlessly determined. But as he pays more attention to her avoidance & certain behaviours, he's getting more & more concerned. There's something she's hiding from him- he knows she's putting on some sort of act- and he's determined to find a way to save her, no matter what.

Creamcake thinks Frenzy is just... the coolest guy ever. I mean, he's a magician! How amazing is that? Besides... ever since that day, it's hard not to see stage magic as anything but wonderful. She finds him funny, sweet, and endlessly kind. While she can't go to all of Frenzy's shows, whenever she does attend, it's always a treat. She's worried about his hero-complex tendencies, though; & wants him to take better care of himself, instead of flinging headfirst into situations at the first sign of someone needing help. He doesn't deserve to have to deal with her & her problems; not when it means adding on to the burden. So she'll never speak a word. They're both happier like this, right?

• Raspberry: With one of the requirements for becoming queen being to have an heir; Strawberry was born out of an arranged marriage between then-Princess Raspberry & a commoner, Alight. Surprisingly, the two had a somewhat decent relationship when Strawberry was younger, even after Alight left to start a rebellion; but even with that brief era of care, it was always doomed from the start, one way or another, as Raspberry grew more & more obsessed with perfection, control, and unbridled hatred of anything that didn't fit her elite ideals.

  Raspberry's feelings towards Strawberry are... mixed. Raspberry hates Strawberry, believing her to be a lousy, worthless, annoying burden, making no effort to hide this fact. She's harshly critical of all of Strawberry's actions & refuses to show her sympathy. At the same time, though, Raspberry needs her around, both because she still needs an heir, & because, well... ever since Alight left, Strawberry was the only other company that Raspberry had around in their mansion, apart from the guards & staff. Raspberry thought that being toughened up & taught to act like the royalty she was would shape Strawberry into something at least bearable to be around. A shame it didn't, in Raspberry 's eyes. Ungrateful brat. A small part of Raspberry wanted for them to be a happy family together; but that part was always overshadowed by her hatred & desire to remain in power. She could never really make up her mind internally; though externally, she remained as cold & distant as ever.

  Meanwhile, Strawberry grew up both loving yet fearing her mother; knowing that Raspberry wanted her around & clearly remembering the times when her mother used to shower her with affection, but was also confused & distressed by how much Raspberry seemed constantly angry at her. Strawberry initially blamed herself for not being good enough, subconsciously causing her to develop a deep-seated sense of self-hatred & a fear of asking others for help. Later on, her justifications for her mother's actions slowly fell apart, as she grew older. Even with what little she knew about the world outside, even Strawberry would eventually conclude that this situation was not okay. Creamcake ran away from home after turning 20 & doesn't regret it one bit; & has been doing everything she can to stay out of the queen's clutches.

• Alight: Creamcake & Alight's relationship is... sparse. Creamcake was too young to really remember or know anything about her other parent before he ran away to start the rebellion; likewise, Alight was preoccupied by the politics of the kingdom & couldn't spend enough time with Creamcake as a baby to form much of an emotional attachment; though wished her the best of luck, nonetheless.
  
  As an adult, Creamcake was initially wary of Alight, fearing that, as the leader of the rebellion, they'd pressure her into taking the throne, replacing Cloycoat as Queen; but her fears were assuaged once she actually met Alight & was assured that the rebellion's goal was to dismantle the monarchic system altogether. Other than providing the rebellion with more updated info on how certain processes within the royal court worked, nothing more was needed from her, unless she ever wanted to join the fight more directly.
  
  Apart from that; nowadays, beyond their blood-bond of being parent & child; Creamcake & Alight act more like distant acquaintances, than anything. Neither of them wish any ill will towards the other; but Creamcake has no desire to have another parental figure in her life, & neither does Almond really have much of an emotional drive to act as one, anyway. Alight does care about Creamcake & checks in from time to time; but it's more the kind of vague basic concern you'd have for any younger acquaintance- they sincerely hope that such a poor young lady isn't getting herself into too much trouble, considering her whole ordeal; and would be willing to offer her protection, if needed. Other than that; Creamcake & Alight do not love each other, and that's neither of their faults.

• Silent: Silent is Creamcake's boss, Creamcake is Silent's employee. That's more or less all there is, really- though they're more relaxed & casual around each other than most would expect of a mayor & his assistant; considering each other friends, though they wouldn't go as far to call each other close. They enjoy each other's company; Creamcake's grateful for Silent's easygoing & calm attitude, while Silent appreciates Creamcake's cheeriness & very occasional surprisingly well-thought-out pieces of advice. Though there is curiosity, neither of them feel the need to pry into each other's lives beyond some polite small talk, so they don't know much about each other outside of work as a result; especially not their pasts. That's fine for either of them- the past has too many ghosts. Best to focus on the present, they both figure.
  
  But sometimes, Creamcake can't help but feel a tingle of fear & anxiety whenever she makes even a minor mistake at work, much to Silent's concern. He can tell when she's trying to hide something- he's seen that look on Frenzy's face loads of times; the look of someone afraid of being a burden. But again, he's her boss, not a close friend. It's not his business to pry, is it? Meanwhile, Creamcake's just... trying to push through & ignore the feeling, making as little mistakes as possible. She doesn't need Silent's worry- she's fine. She has to be. She can't risk not being fine in front of an older adult who controls her salary or could have her locked up again like- it's fine. It doesn't matter. She's fine.
