Sparky · 闪闪

Amber (mother)

Sparky loves Amber almost obsessively. She always demands to know everything about what her mom is doing. If Amber's whereabouts are unknown to Sparky for even a split second, Sparky would worry that something happened to her mom, because she's terrified of losing her. It was tiring for Amber, like raising a sentient surveillance camera. She preferred Willow.

Sparky's longing for Jackal also irritated Amber, because for all Sparky knew, Jackal was neither a good dad nor a good husband. But Amber doesn't know how to break it to her.

Peacock (stepfather)

Peacock is Sparky's step-father and reincarnation. Sparky hates him because he didn't match up to the perfect father (Jackal) in her mind.

Peacock, on the other hand, is deep in conflict as he both hates who he was in the past, but also desperately wants to be who he was in the past.

Willow (younger half-sister)

Sparky and Willow have the same mother but different fathers. Willow is the one who understands Sparky the most, because of her mind-reading; but she has a hard time expressing how she felt about Sparky, especially with her being so irritable.

After Amber died and before Peacock sent Sparky to Fancy Private School, Sparky had to walk Willow there every day. At first she made it extremely clear that she blamed Peacock's entire blood-related family for Amber's death, but slowly she took a liking towards Willow.

After Willow's fiasco with Sundae, Sparky shut herself into the closet.

Ribbon (friend)

Sparky loves hanging out in Ribbon's bakery. Ribbon taught her how to bake.

Qibli (friend)

Sparky and Qibli became friends through Sky. She is always trying to pull Qibli out of her own world and make her hang out with Sky and Firecrackers.

Sky (friend)

Sparky got assigned to sit next to Sky on their first day of Middle School. The stuff he did — twirl cards, take photos, being able to recognize any sort of tank at one glance — fascinated her. Though she wouldn't admit it, she had a little crush on him. The crush later turned to a big crush on Nightsun.

As for Sky, he is always looking for new friends.

Firecrackers (friend)

What's the difference between their cursing? Sparky does it unconsciously; she treats curses like like normal words. But Firecrackers curses intentionally, just to piss people off.

Sparky had always whether intentionally or unintentionally tried to offer Firecrackers money, be it spare change or buying a lot of stuff at his parents' store, for which they need to pay Starcorp rent. Sparky had tried and failed to convince Peacock to lower rent for Firecrackers specifically.

Myriad (classmates)

Myriad worked with Sparky on the thief case. They had a fair share of conflicts, as Myriad disapproved of Sparky's recklessness and Sparky thought Myriad was dull. In the end, Sparky framed Myriad for all the theft and got her sent to juvie.

Fantasy (older stepsister)

Ironheart (older stepbrother)

Sparky and Ironheart are locked in an eternal childish sibling rivalry despite growing into adults.

Nightsun (husband)

They're both bisexual and deep in the closet. They both know the other is bisexual. They're both trying all sorts of gimmicks to make the other come out.

Nightsun used to be a no-names Starcorp employee in the headquarters in Coastline. Sparky developed a huge crush on him and kept trying to get close to him despite warnings from Animus. After Fantasy died and Bramble became her child, she proposed to Nightsun and they got married.

Once they got married, Sparky started to exert control over him like she did everyone. She made Nightsun quit his job and stay at home to take care of Bramble. He did, so now Bramble likes him ("papa!") more than he likes Sparky ("auntie"), and now she's mad about it.

Little did she know, Nightsun was a spy sent to get information on Animus. After Animus found out, Sparky refused to let anything happen to Nightsun because she still loved him, and believed that he reciprocated, and also Bramble liked him too much. Animus decided to feed false information through Nightsun, though he didn't want Nightsun to know. Sparky, however, came clean to him about running him as a double agent.

Nightsun agreed, because deep down, he loved Sparky too.

Bramble (nephew)

Bramble still refers to Sparky as his aunt even when he calls Nightsun his dad. Sparky is really mad about it. She really did care about Bramble. Now I wonder where I've seen this before... Ah yes, Sparky calling Peacock "Peacock."

Bramble also constantly pesters Sparky into telling him what happened to his mom, because "Auntie knows everything!" Truth is, Sparky would also very much like to know what happened to Fantasy.

Pearl

Sparky took care of Pearl like she's her daughter. However, as they ran out of money and was struggling to move forward in Sylvandia, she found herself also looking at Pearl and seeing not a person, but a machine for producing pearls.

Devotion (frienemy)

Sparky and Devotion have the exact same pistol so they always have fights about whose pistol is better. They are. Exactly. The. Same. Colt 1911 (didn't the industrial revolution just break out in 1911? Whatever I don't care). But apparently Devotion's gun is retired from the military while Sparky's is bought off the civilian market.

Elegance (friend)

Sparky and Elegance are good friends. There was this time when Elegance was kidnapped, and Sparky refused to leave her side, so she got kidnapped with her.

Sparky's superstrength distorts Elegance's perception of time, though they didn't know this at first.

Animus (friend / principal)
