Skye's younger brother.
Currently, Madelyn and Ruwan are first-time, unexpected parents of twins. It's not always sunshine and rainbows (honestly, it never is), but they make it work. Surprisingly, there's love amongst the chaos.
Practically brothers. Thick as thieves. Though they've spent so long apart, they treat each other as if the last time they saw each other was yesterday. Mateo tends to clean up after Ruwan's messes and makes sure he doesn't get into too much trouble (though he does instigate it at times).
Elaine was a one-night stand. After bumping into her at The Clink (his usual bar) consecutively they eventually became friends. He never expected his plan of using Elaine as a distraction for Skye would end up making her his sister-in-law. They do their best to avoid letting Skye know they had a past.
Elaine's son. Though initially, he hated the idea of being "stuck babysitting" Milo, Ruwan grows attached to him after seeing how clever he is. The times he's been left with him to "babysit" is when they take off, usually with Mateo, in an attempt to carry out any of Ruwan's crazy plans with some outlandish goal in mind. Thanks to Ruwan, Milo learns how to use his "little kid charm" to get what he wants.
Apis was the first person he met and interacted with in town. She eventually becomes like a sister to Ruwan, especially with how her family basically adopts him. He would do his best to help her as thanks for her kindness. Can be overprotective of her and get into trouble thinking that physically assaulting others is a proper way of defending others. His nickname for her came from her need to make everyone and everything sweaters.
Bromance. Both being new in town they met through the need for entertainment, money, and escape from the summer heat by partnering up and opening a Poke-Wash. Ruwan feels like he can share his thoughts openly with him without judgment. Ruwan does his best to include Hendrix in any money-making schemes and puts in a lot of time and effort to help Hendrix's business thrive. Ruwan sees Hendrix as the heart, sensitive, and artistic side, while Ruwan is the self-appointed "brains" of the outfit. (Ruwan is far from it...)
This is a complicated relationship. Osiris first gave Ruwan work as a model. They throw shade at each other constantly and try to put each other in uncomfortable situations. The money is what initially has Ruwan stick around. Honestly, Ruwan would never admit that he enjoys the back-and-forth teasing, and would actually defend Osiris indirectly. Ruwan would do his best to hide any evidence that he's helped Osiris in any way, lest the truth that he actually considers him a friend were to slip out.
He met Fern on a night out and they hooked up in a bathroom stall. He was surprised to see her working as a doctor since (in his mind) she did not fit the stereotype in her looks or behavior from her nightlife version. He used to frequent her office for "doctor checkups" every now and then, but stopped once he learned Fern was related to an old flame Ruwan had back in Unova.
