When the day angel was in school, she did see every meeting as an opportunity to make new friends. She was boyish, though, so she only made boyfriends, and those only of a particularly physical or sporting type, which might be fodder for a side story one day about flying tandem. Subsequent bad decisions led to her running from law and getting blackmailed by a crime boss. For a decade, before she got free, almost every person she met was either bad or a victim. In the aftermath of that, she's happy to have one good friend, and is wary of all other comers. The ebullient side of her is crushed, but in return she has a crush on her friend. Problem is, her friend is also a woman. (They saved each other's lives.) Having a crush is new for her, may not be reciprocal, and who knows how such a relationship will work out—and if it were to become physical, would she or her friend be up for that. This is a subplot in the gestation phase.
