Pill hated Bricu at first sight. He was a pushy human paladin. And despite Davien speaking for him, she still wanted him to die. And, despite Pill managing to screw up lots of things, Bricu has managed to tolerate Pill and Pill actually likes him. (The way to tell if Pill actually likes you, she sends you a pair of socks, not just one.)

For Dorri, I never intended for Dorri to be in any kind of permanent relationship. But Dorri would meet Keltyr in Shattrath and listen to all his complaints about the people he adventured with. Somehow these conversations while walking around in Dalaran led to something more. Enough that when Dorri had her eventual fall, Kel was there to help her back up.

On the bad side, I always wanted Dorri and Keilos to be friends. In fact, Dorri still wants to be friends, but she doesn’t know how to be. The fellow Blood Knight’s constant adverse reactions to every thing she does leaves her baffled and angry. (And being baffled actually makes her angry) She does not understand why Keilos constantly views her as a failure when they started out so well.

I don’t script relationships much, if at all; I just tend to have a character’s default reaction to new people in the back of my head, and let it work from there. Rashona’s default approach is mild tolerance, and it takes a *lot* to jostle her out of that one way or the other. My orc hunter has a sneaking suspicion that everybody else is cooler than she is, and my elf warlock just thinks everybody’s a demon or a ghost. Planned stories don’t seem to work for me, but Rashona definitely has her own character to follow; she develops, but slowly.
