What the symbols mean! Linna Orhaldi Dzintars
+C: Sword and Cornett
Orhaldi, one of his compadres and one of the people he's very, very glad to see here. He likes the guy well enough, though really, "liking him" is more of Belca's forte. He's easy to tease with Mariebelle, though Eco doesn't do it as much. Eco describes him as looking like a grown up, so he'd be perfect for grown up looking things (like sneaking around as an envoy). All in all, if Belca trusts him, then so does Eco; his loyalty (and insistence on "His Highness should decide what he wants") are very dear.☺☺☻☻☻☻♥
☺☺☺☺☻☻☻☻♥Belca Noctircus
+C: Sword and Cornett
Eco's song. This is the person who he's writing the latest ones about - the strong, brash, naive third Prince of Azelprade. He's the one closest to the truth, something Eco's been seeking for a long, long time. Where Belca is, you'll probably find Eco - if the bard isn't there to see the adventures, how's he supposed to sing them correctly? Even though Belca's someone he'd wait for until the very last moment, even though Belca's someone he considers very important to him, even though Belca's the best person to fluster ever, Eco's still hiding a lot of things from him - he trusts him, yes, but there are some things he'd rather not talk to him about, because it might trigger some unpleasant consequences. Treats, dates, cooking for him - things that could be looked as wooing are simple acts of friendship for Eco. He loves to tell people about this grumpy, sweetheart prince.
Decus Nadel
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
The first guy to show Eco around the Golden District and such. He’s a pretty cool dude, who’s in love with a really cute girl! Eco’s sung about her for him, and my, is she an inspiration for him. One day, he hopes to meet Decus’s elusive “Alice” but until then, the memory of her picture will serve him well enough.♦☺☻♥
♦☺☻♥Ash Ketchum
Pokemon (anime)
The kid who first explained the whole "Seal" deal to him. Another person he sadly didn't catch the name of. He's also the one who broke the bad news to Eco that they're trapped - but there's nothing to worry about, as Eco'll just make the best of it.
Princess Ovelia Atkascha of Ivalice
Final Fantasy Tactics
The sweetest noble girl he's had the chance to meet! He thinks she's very pretty, and very helpful, which in Eco's book are perfect. She's the one who's told him the most about Splendor when he arrived, actually, and she's extremely well-mannered. Eco likes her. Really likes her.☺☺☻♥
♦Kyo Sohma
Fruits Basket
This guy - Eco's mentioned Orhaldi to him, and the first time Eco met (saw) him, he was looking for a fight. Kyo, that is. Didn't catch the boy's name, but to Eco, he seems a little on the delinquent side. Who goes around looking for fights, anyways?
Elizabeth Middleford
Kuroshitsuji
She told him about Christmas! And sang a song! She's the one to blame for the sudden rise of holiday cheer, and thanks to her, he's also gone out of his way to look up other holidays so he'll be ready for them before they come around. She sweets like a cute, sweet young lady, even if her being young-blonde-cute gig reminds him a little of Musca. He thinks she doesn't have too bad of a voice either, based on what she sang to him when they met (Jingle bells, jingle bells~), but it could use work. ☺☻♥
☺☻♥Sakura
Tsubasa Chronicles
A sweet girl he's only just met, but likes nonetheless. After all, she's in pursuit of knowledge about these holiday things too - he can't not like someone like that! Actually, she's in the pursuit of knowledge in general (it would seem to him), and as he's the same way, as a scholar, he's sure they'll get along just perfectly.
Ruca Milda
Tales of Innocence
A quiet, shy, awkward boy who wants to become a doctor, but is being groomed to take over his father's business. Eco danced with him at the Christmas party (it is interesting to note that Ruca was not willing, as far as consent goes) and finds him a little interesting. It's a bonus point that the boy loves to read - Eco enjoys it as well, and there's nothing wrong with that. He also likes how intelligent the boy is, albeit he needs to speak louder.♦☺☻♥
♦☺☻Oz Vessalius
Pandora Hearts
A strange young man that Eco's plotted with recently. Hooking up your best friends is the best way to meet someone, after all, even if they don't agree. At all. He's looking forward to more interaction with this guy, especially on the subject of ~Mariebelle~.
Julian Dixon-Ross
Original Character
The only dark-haired guy not to be a major grumpy butt, in Eco's opinion. A sweet guy who's offered to look after his duck when he isn't around. Eco's friend in troublemaking, generally, especially with matters dealing with Wishing Ducks Up Ponds and flooding the castle instead.☺☺☺☻☻
♦☺☻Vorona
Durarara!!
A strange girl with a strange name and a strange way of speaking. Blatantly, she intrigues Eco to a point. Perhaps she could become one of his greatest allies-- but for now, they've just met.
Julius Monrey
Heart no Kuni no Alice
Tick-tock-tick; his heart's a clock, and he's a mortician and a repairer of clocks. It's unheard where Eco's from, and he'd love to find out more about this place where hearts are clocks. Tick-tock-tick.♦☺☻♥
♦☺☻♥Ritsuka Aoyagi
Loveless
Grumpy grumpy! A boy with cat ears - Eco definitely wants to know more about that. They're so cute! The first time they met, Ritsuka was looking for someone, and Eco's -- well, he'll look out for the guy this boy's looking for. Mostly, he wants the cat ears. How do they work?
Fakir
Princess Tutu
Duckies duckies duckies duckies!! They're so cute, and fluffy, and happy, and this is where Eco got his pet duck. Apparently, Fakir's wish for a quill went overboard, but it's okay. Eco's glad to have something so cute around now, thanks to it. Fakir's a writer of stories. Eco's a writer of songs. Surely, this passion'll meet somehow. And maybe not by ducks.♦☺☻♥
♦☺☻♥Ace
Heart no Kuni no Alice
This guy. He's very helpful. Especially when dealing with, ah, date advice. He's the perfect pal to tease the hell out of Belca with! -- not to say he won't be helpful in other ways. He seems pretty nice, from what Eco's seen.
Shiki Misaki
The World Ends With You
A sweet girl with a cute cat doll. She can make it move using a strange pin - unfortunately, only she can do it. Mr. Mew, her doll, seems to have taken a liking to Eco, and he's apparently good in Shiki's book. She made him cookies for valentine's day - a late present, admittedly - as well as his bear toy. Bearca!☺☺☺☻☻☻♥
♦☺☻♥Saki Mikajima
Durarara!!
A cute girl who's called Eco and Belca a 'perfect match' - as friends, she means, but it's a little more fun to run with it the other way. She adores the way they bounce off each other nicely, and Eco definitely has to agree. There's just no one like the third prince of Azelprade in terms of being easier to read than a children's picture book, and it gives him such wonderful opportunities to meet some sweet girls.
Sync
Tales of the Abyss
A boy with no friends. He says he isn't lonely, and mostly Eco's playing mind games with him (or going around in circles, at least), but being very friendly about it. He's even given him advice as to why it's good to have friends - and certainly that'll help, for better or for worse.♦☺
♦☺☻Black★Rock Shooter
Black★Rock Shooter OVA
A strange looking girl that Eco's first impression was a little off; she was wrecking destruction at the time. Evidently to catch the Locals' eyes, though it didn't seem to have worked. Issues of morality and of getting the Locals to speak to them, he's talked with her on. She's much more interesting that he first thought.
Amette Amaterasu
Okami
A cute dog he found wandering Splendor. Since he doesn't believe in any kind of god, she just looks like a regular old white cutie to him. Even though she's wrecked his café a little, he still thinks she's pretty cute. Even though the whole talking thing is a bit weird. Once upon a time, he wanted to adopt her to the castle - but decided she'd probably eat his duckie. Quack quack!☺☺☻☻☻♥
☺☻♥Ryoji Mochizuki
Persona
A pretty nice guy Eco helped out... once! Unfortunately, he gave him the wrong directions... but that doesn't matter, right? Regardless, while Eco doesn't really have much of an opinion on him, he thinks they'll make pretty swell friends.
Ahiru
Princess Tutu
He caught this one dancing and falling on her face in true Ahiru style when they first met-- by his standards, she's pretty adorable. Like a duck you want to take home and cuddle often. He really hopes to see her again, and maybe surprise her with a few cookies since he's learning to bake baking ♦☺☻♥
☺☻♥Rarity
My Little Pony
It is a fucking cute, talking pony. How can Eco not love her? She's very cute, very sweet-hearted, and pretty friendly for a, you know, talking pony. He's seen her friends too, and knows thme roughly by name since she told him them, but he can't say he knows them solidly enough-- but Rarity? They can be biffles.
Rob Hargreaves
OC
A shy, nice guy. He's Julian's friend, and he's heard quite a bit about him from Julian. Once you get past the fact he's a big old scaredy cat, he's a pretty sweet person to talk to. Eco does wish he'd come out more, though. Any friend of Julian's is a friend of his. And though he's much older now than when Eco last saw him, he's still a little shy. How cute.♦☺☻♥
♦☺☻♥The Snowstorm
Splendor Locals
A strange, cold (quite literally, he's afraid) woman he met in the Golden District once. He thinks she's very beautiful, even though she doesn't talk to him, in lieu of Local tradition get it. Even so, he'll try whenever she's around his District - he's not about to trek up to the Alpine just yet, being at odds with cold places on a personal level.
Elliot March
Heart no Kuni no Alice
A strange guy with rabbit ears who suggested Eco add 'carrot cake' to his menu. Also, a patron to the café. He seems easily exciteable and, with his love of cute-looking dishes and Eco's love of cute-looking dishes, maybe they'll be wonderful friends. Until Ace says anything about Elliot, he's on Eco's ~potential friend~ list. And maybe after that, even.♦☺☻♥
♦♥Helios Sola Sprensonne
OC
Oh boy, oh boy! A guy who loves sweets. Eco's glad to have talked to him for a bit, since he gave a lot of excellent suggestions for things to add to his menu. A truly sweet heart get it!! who he would, personally, love to have around. And become a regular at his café.
Rise Kujikawa
Persona
An exciteable girl Eco's talked to who particularly sticks out for helping him with his café crisis (that is, lack of sweet things on his menu). Someone he has to show the result of his labor to.♦☺☻ ♥
♦☺☻ ♥Taiga Aisaka
Toradora!
A baker a baker a baker!! A girl who Eco's recruited to help around the café, since he can't really deal. She also seems to like cake cheapskate-- evidently, she's not single. Poor Eco's heart! Though also evidently, according to her, Valentine's Day isn't a day to be single on - not that he can do anything to fix this situation for himself.
Makoto Konno
The Girl Who Lept Through Time
Europe and France and... French bakeries... She's introduced him to a lot of new words, tough he's sure they must be pretty beautiful places. Cute little cakes in French bakeries--! Now he really wants to see the world - or, rather, other worlds.♦☺☻ ♥
☺☻♥John Egbert
Homestuck
A dorky guy who doesn't seem to be very careful with what he wishes for. A less than graceful first talking to. He evidently arrived with his friends, and Eco's plenty grateful for that - he doesn't like people being lonely and without anyone to rely on when they need them, should ever the need arise. Recently, they’ve talked about the ~wonders of the modern world~ -- that is, John’s world. Eco’s a little jealous - after all, some part of him has always wanted to fly, and to be free without the earth restricting him. After thinking about space for a while, stargazing is the only option!
Gino Weinberg
Code Geass
A handsome young man he’s recently become acquainted with. They had a picnic, and he’s helped the really, really tall guy a little. It really is unfair that he’s so much taller than Eco is, really!! (He’d never want to be that tall, though. Bumping into the top of doorways sounds really awful.)☺☻♥
☺☻♥Atoli
.hack//G.U.
A very pretty, very lovely lass he met when he was singing at the Rainbow Fountain in Wonderland. She, too, comes from a world for more modern technology - and while it’s her character’s body she’s stuck in from a game, Eco’s assured she’s just as pretty outside of it. She has a lovely voice as well, something else he likes. She's equally as interested in how he's left before, especially since he returned just a few days later and much, much further ahead than he had been last time. It's something to look into, as well as how to get her friends here so she isn't so lonely.
The Gardener
Splendor Locals
A strange guy he met outside the Gilded Castle. He seemed to be gardening (what a shock!) and, as per Local tradition, ignored him. Still, he thinks it’s nice there’s a guy who keeps the outside place looking trimmed. Not a lot of people pay attention to the little thinks like that.♦
♦Pongo
OC
A weird guy with a toootal crush on some chick from his world. Eco’s a singer of love, man, he can go around making these assumptions. Evidently he doesn’t know how to handle girls, but that’s okay. This bard’ll teach him everything he needs to know~!
Rapunzel
Tangled
A fellow optimistic! She's a little like Belca re: being stuck in a place without knowledge of the outside world, but unlike his bff prince she's actually going outside and enjoying her time in Splendor and learning. Apparently she has a story about her..?♦☺☻♥
♦♣Arabia
OC
One of Eco's unfortunate castlemates. He's rough around the edges and easy to irritate. Eco doesn't like him too much, mostly because he threatened to eat his pet duck, but there are better things to do than starting wars in your castle. He's not looking forward to interaction or confrontation, especially with Arabia's first impression being "that guy who flooded the castle for a stupid duck". He's much more agreeable over note, though.
Kanonno
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology
A lovely girl who helped clean up after his wish went awry. She's got lovely hair, as weird of a color it is - everyone's is a bit like that, the weird colors that is, and it felt real enough, so other's are probably as well - and she's very nice. Eco really looks forward to talking to her again!♦☺☻♥
♦☺☻Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart
A hilarious lover of music he's come across. He has a clone, and while it might seem like a cool thing to have, after actually meeting his clone Eco doesn't think he'd want another him running around after all... Still, appreciation for music is A+ in his book. He's really hoping he'll play for him some time!
