RELATIONSHIP CHARTS (PT2)

Kara's Post-Crash Relations

ANYA

Kara to Anya: Platonic Love/Best Friends/Admiration/Respect

She just wants to protect her.

It's all she can do. Anya was always there to protect her, so Kara needs to return the favor. By any means necessary.

Anya to Kara: Platonic Love/Best Friends/Admiration/Respect

She just wants to protect her.

And yet, it doesn't seem like Kara needs Anya's protection anymore. She can see just how capable Kara is now; but that doesn't stop her from trying. She needs to.

DAISUKE

Kara to Daisuke: Best Friends/Romantic Love/Admiration/Respect

Probably at some point either shortly before or after the crash, Kara confessed. Whilst everyone else knew Daisuke's feelings for her, she went into it without any expectation for hers to be returned.

Cue shocked pikachu face.

With the crash and everything, they can't spend nearly as much time together as they wish they could. But Kara's pretty sure Daisuke is the only thing keeping her sane right now. And, hell, even though survival is slim to none, at least they're together.

Daisuke to Kara: Best Friends/Romantic Love/Admiration/Respect

On the other hand, Daisuke? He had an internal aneurysm when he realized 1. Kara was not aware of his feelings this entire time and 2. if she had been, they could've been dating a lot sooner. What the hell, man?

...

He wishes it was under better circumstances. He'd love to take Kara out on nice dates and get to do all those mushy couple things with her. But. Ah. Well, they'll make do.

It makes it a bit easier to face everything with Kara by his side.

SWANSEA

Kara to Swansea: Dislike/Bitter

Possibly the biggest change in attitude Kara has towards the others post-crash; but, to her, it's warranted. She knows how he talks about Anya now. "Rickety elbow of a woman." That, paired with encouraging Daisuke to drink mouthwash like him?

Her opinion of Swansea has drastically plummeted.

Swansea to Kara: Neutral/Respect

In contrast, Swansea's respect for Kara has grown. Slightly. Namely because she's not afraid to chew his ass out, and honestly, he's gotta hand it to the kid. She's got balls.

(... She's not wrong. He's setting the kid down a dangerous path with the mouthwash. But... He'll make it out fine.)

CURLY

Kara to Curly: Neutral/Bitter/Distrust

Kara is the one who gives Curly his meds most days. Anya can't, and she'll do anything to keep the strain off of her. So she does her best to remain neutrality while treating him.

... She's not sure if she believes Jimmy. She's not sure if it even matters who did it.

Curly to Kara: Respect/Admiration

Kara is the only one Curly can handle treating him, honestly. He's half out of his mind with pain, but seeing Anya makes him sick with guilt. With remorse. And with Jimmy...

JIMMY

Kara to Jimmy: Hatred/Distrust

...

Tensions are high. Each time Jimmy snaps, Kara doesn't hesitate to snap back. In the back of her mind, she's aware she's making the situation worse by fighting with him.

She can't hold her tongue.

Jimmy to Kara: Hatred/Distrust/Bitter

WHATDOESSHEKNOW?WHATDOESSHEKNOW?WHATDOESSHEKNOW?

Out of everyone on this god forsaken ship, she's probably the one Jimmy hates the most. He's the captain now. He's the one responsible for these idiots' safety. Yet she always has something to fucking say. She thinks she can ban him from medical. Thinks she can tell him to stay away from ... Curly.

Ridiculous.

RELATIONSHIP CHARTS (PT1)

Kara's Pre-Crash Relations

ANYA

Kara to Anya: Platonic Love/Best Friends/Admiration/Respect

That's her big sister! Kara loves her so so much. Admittedly, there were some negative feelings there, as she struggled with feeling like a burden to Anya in the beginning of their relationship.

She bugged Anya for ages until she finally agreed to see if Pony Express would let her intern under her.

Anya to Kara: Platonic Love/Best Friends/Respect

Anya still kind of sees Kara as that tiny 14yr old she took in all those years ago. Once she took the job as a nurse for the Tulpar, it's almost like Kara grew up in the blink of an eye. It's hard to see her sister as an adult now.

... But that doesn't mean she goes easy on her during game nights.

DAISUKE

Kara to Daisuke: Platonic Love/Best Friends/Crush/Admiration/Respect/Romantic Love

Fell harder type of deal. Daisuke's friendship is important to her; it's the first time (outside of her sister) she's felt truly understood and accepted for who she is. That platonic love translates to a deep, growing romantic love.

Their dynamic is very much yapper/listener. Also ADHD/autism. They've definitely had at least one conversation consisting solely of various animal noises before.

Daisuke to Kara: Best Friends/Crush/Admiration/Respect/Romantic Love

Fell first type of deal. Pretty girl with piercings? Yes please! He was very aware of his attraction at first, but oh my god he did not expect how well they clicked. Just like Kara, Daisuke feels like she really understands him. In a way he's never felt before. It's kind of scary.

He doesn't really make much attempt to hide his crush. She's his favorite person on the ship and pretty much everyone knows it.

The accessory trading started with Daisuke gifting Kara a bracelet he thought she'd like only to get flustered when she gave him one of hers in return.

SWANSEA

Kara to Swansea: Neutral/Respect/Admiration/Dislike

Kara doesn't really have much of an opinion towards Swansea. She doesn't understand a thing about engineering, so she finds it admirable that Swansea does.

She's not a fan of how he treats Daisuke, though.

Swansea to Kara: Neutral/Respect

Swansea also doesn't have much of an opinion on Kara. They don't really interact aside from when he's scolding Daisuke and her for messing around.

(He won't admit it out loud, but it is nice to see the kid genuinely interacting with a peer rather than trying to suck up to the adults.)

CURLY

Kara to Curly: Neutral/Respect/Distrust

Again, Kara doesn't have much of an opinion on Curly. She respects his position as Captain. But his positivity and friendliness comes off a bit strong to her.

Curly to Kara: Neutral/Respect

Curly was the one to give Anya the push to take Kara as an intern. So he was aware of one intern that'd likely be joining; Pony Express just waited until the very last minute to accept the two interns on the Tulpar. Fun.

Other than that, he tries to maintain a positive work relationship with Kara, as he does with all of his crew members.

JIMMY

Kara to Jimmy: Neutral/Respect/Distrust/Dislike

"Respect" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Kara treats Jimmy with basic decency. But honestly? She never cared much for him from the moment she met everyone.

He reminds her of someone.

Jimmy to Kara: Neutral/Dislike

Annoying brat. Which one of the higher-ups at Pony Express decided it would be a good idea to stick them with not one but two kids!? And who the hell does she think she is, acting like she's had a hard life? She's only here because of nepotism.

But Jimmy at least acts 'normal' around her.

Daisuke's body glitter gets absolutely everywhere after this btw.

"Ah—??"

"... Thank you? For the banana. I appreciate it."

KARA — THE MEDICAL INTERN

"... Uhm. Hello. It's nice to meet you."

Kara Montgomery Kara is an intern on the Tulpar space freighter working under the supervision of the ship's nurse, Anya.

Woo! My girl. Assuming the link works, clicking the K should bring you to her "wiki page." (Aka I used the Google Docs wikipedia template.) It's still currently a WIP though.

Miscellaneous info:

She is 20 years old. A few months older than Daisuke.

5'1" / 156cm. The shortest of the crew by a LONG mile. She's just a little salty over it.

Her natural hair color is black.

Anya is her big sister. Not by blood. She became Kara's guardian when Kara was 14 and she was 22. Kara holds a lot of admiration for her big sister; she's the reason why she wanted to pursue medicine.

Girlflux. She/her pronouns usually, occasionally they/it pronouns.

Loves to accessorize. Most of her accessories were made herself. Brought more bracelets and necklaces than necessary on board, but her and Daisuke trade accessories, so... Worth it.

Also brought along a few plushies. Including a shark.

Autistic.

The fish pocketknife was given to her by Delphi a day before the Tulpar was set to leave. Currently not on her person; Kara gave it to Anya. For... Reasons.

what if they... were eeveelutions.... . . and they were in love... ..

Daisuke is so Sylveon-coded to me. Kara is an Espeon, both because I feel like psychic types fit her and because Espeon is my favorite eeveelution.

SEVEN HOURS UNTIL JUDGEMENT

"Keep your eyes open, Daisuke. Please... It's gonna be okay." ... ...... .........

tfw your sister overdoses and your boyfriend is bleeding out in front of you.

Amongst the rest of her stuff, Kara also packed an emergency medkit. She knew from Anya that Pony Express are dicks when it comes to the medical supplies on board, so it doesn't hurt to be prepared, right?

...

Swansea went off to grab the medkit, but she's not sure if what little supplies is left would be enough to save Daisuke. But she has to try. She has to—

Jimmy finds the pocket knife left in medical. It was laying next to ▮▮▮▮'s body. Of course she'd waste the rest of Curly's pills rather than use the knife. Coward.

The brat's focus is on keeping Daisuke alive. She doesn't notice a thing as he enters the lounge behind her. Everything's gone to shit.

▮▮▮▮.

Daisuke.

And this brat... She hates him. She'd kill him first if she had the chance, wouldn't she? If he gave her the opportunity, he knows she'd take it.

He'll have to strike first.

alternative versions under the cut! CWs for blood!

figured out how to upload fonts to ibispaint! now i have unlimited power.

anyways. yeah, rough concept of how Kara would die in a canon-compliant AU. i feel like it'd be similar to how Jimmy justified killing Swansea in his mind. making her out to be a threat he needs to deal with before she kills him.

So Jimmy's kill count is now 2 indirectly and 2 directly. Tie.
